MAX PAYNE 2: Gone Freakin' GOLD!!! - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Mr.Deflok · 10-07-2003, 12:36 AM

I have nothing but praise for Max Payne (the PC version anyway, consoles kinda blew...) so when I saw the preview for Max payne 2 in the PC PowerPlay magazine I totally flipped.

I was disappointed with HL2 being delayed but MP2 will be more than enough to keep me happy. When I heard MP2 was to be released mid October I laughed "Ha! Since when did a big name game come out on it's initial projected release date!?"... well, I guess there's a first time for everything! And so, here we are, MP2 literally just around the corner because yes, it has gone GOLD!!!

I liked Max Payne on the PS2, but I loved it on computer. This one looks to be pretty good, I just hope my computer can handle it. Nice picture btw.

Vilkata · 10-07-2003, 01:01 AM

I never played the original but I plan on giving this one a try. Can't wait

cradeg · 10-07-2003, 01:09 AM

the best of max payne was the nightmares he had ... those gave mt the creeps

hansthemolemann · 10-07-2003, 01:16 AM

I loved the original, I'll have to pick this up (so many games, so little money)

Jack Ruby · 10-07-2003, 04:18 AM

Right now just looks like Max Payne 1 with more detailed graphics... which is pretty fucking cool in itself =)

gal · 10-07-2003, 04:34 AM

Thanks for the link. I loved the first one. Graphics on this new release looks awesome:-{__

Silvy · 10-07-2003, 05:22 AM

Damn, I can't wait for the 24th (which is the expected release date in Europe)...

I hope Zero Hour is going to keep me occupied 'till then....

jujueye · 10-07-2003, 07:58 AM

I was a little diasppointed that they modeled Max after a different person in this game versus the first game. However, they kept the original voice talent on, so his endless muttering and story description will be the same. Yeah, gotta get my shopping cart filled up on NewEgg and get it to my house so I can play MP2!

Beltruckus · 10-07-2003, 09:53 AM

so when does it come out to stores near us?

NeverBorn · 10-07-2003, 09:59 AM

A resounding HELL YA

Cynthetiq · 10-07-2003, 12:18 PM

dammit... too many games to play on my list...

nothingx · 10-07-2003, 12:59 PM

YES!! Oh yesssss indeed.

MAX PAYNE RULES!!!

this game is goin to be awesome, they've added a new type of bullet time where u move in real time, and everything else slows down(ala The One) which the MP1 modding community tried to do

And they've added the moddin tools aslwell, my thought for best thing bout MP1 was the many Mods and most of us are still waiting for Mods, A matrix mod has been in the works for a loooooong time now

Running down a hall in slow-mo only to have it stretch to 10 times its original length just pissed me off.

CyN1caL · 10-07-2003, 06:34 PM

Game looks great!

Can't wait to play it. It looks like it will have a killer story in it too, something I've been much desiring in a game lately.

You should check out Chrome.

Ok, so right now I'm laughing so hard that my side hurts like it's been split open.

Between this quote and the next lay at least 30 seconds of wonder: How on earth could anyone say that?

And then I was reassured by the next quote:

Note to self: read the whole post before thinking about it....

Back on topic: Max Payne 2 looks sure to rock! I loved MP1 and I almost finished it on its 3 difficulty levels. I haven't been in tough with MP2 lately, which is good, or I would have been unproductive for months! Now it's just weeks

LOL! Dude, I did the exact same thing! I was seriously about to go for the "flame" button. "How the fuck could you ever say that about that piece of shit?!?! etc." Hehe... good one Mr.Deflok, really had me going there.

Miserlou · 10-08-2003, 06:14 PM

As sad as it seems, Max is 70% the reason I own a black leather coat know. Looks good on me though.

Hercules · 10-08-2003, 06:24 PM

Roger that, I got my money waiting for this game

As Mr.Deflok said, "mid October" ... the 15th to be exact.

Beltruckus · 10-09-2003, 11:06 AM

oh duh I thought I read through his post, don't I feel like a heel.

niobius2 · 10-09-2003, 11:49 AM

I didn't really think the first one was that good. i mean it looked good and had a decent plot but it got old just shooting bad guys over and over. i really didn't like those stupid comic book cutscenes

They have a few of those for MP1, and they all ROCK. My personal preference is for Matrixed Reality, which blends a straight Matrix mod with Max Payne Kung Fu Edition 3.0. The combination makes the game AWESOME.

Not like it wasn't before, but...y'know...

To put it in perspective, the mod for Max Payne is what Enter the Matrix SHOULD have been.

i loved the first m.p. but the nightmares were the worst. fun to look at, but a bitch to navigate.

NEW TRAILERS AND GAMEPLAY FOOTAGE that'll fuck you up the ass and leave you crying on the bathroom floor.

skyscan · 10-11-2003, 09:22 PM

AHHHHH! Loved Max Payne 1. Enjoyed/hated what I came to refer to as the "crack dreams" added emotion to the game but still....messed up. Loved the place where you took like one step and the whole place set on fire.

Just went to site....how bad has gaming got when one of the "GAME FEATURES" includes "a storyline"...... =)

This should be great, not to mention...made by rockstar right?

nothingx · 10-14-2003, 08:10 AM

"The action in this sequel will, quite simply, knock your dick in the dirt. Not only will it knock your dick in the dirt, it will pick it up, wipe it off, give it a nice meal, spoon it a while at bedtime, and then, just as it’s drifting off to dreamland, wake it up and knock it back in the dirt! (But don’t feel left out, you dick-less ladies out there, because this [game] will make you grow a dick, and then proceed with all the dick-related activities mentioned above.)"

-Doug Benson. He was actually refering to The Matrix Reloaded, but I think it applies to these trailers also.

Silvy · 10-14-2003, 08:31 AM

I've got a feeling this quote is equally applicable to MP2 too...

At least it was for MP1...
Anybody have it yet? (those guys lucky enough to work at the right stores...)

Nope, mine'll come in at the end of the month which sucks, hits US shelves tomorrow though I think.

Esoteric · 10-14-2003, 06:20 PM

Looks good, may have to pick it up.

Czernobog · 10-14-2003, 10:06 PM

TOMMOROW, TOMMOROW, I'LL BUY IT, TOMMOROW......

This game looks frickin' brilliant. Not only does it have the improved graphics and bullet time, but it also has a brandy-dandy new physics engine, complete with rag-doll anims. Translation: You shoot someone, the body reacts to the shots, said body slams into the wall and slumps to the ground. Just like a real body would do! And if that weren't enough.....DEFORMABLE TERRAIN! You get to blow holes in buildings! AND people! JOY!

And supposedly it's going to be even easier to mod than the first one, which means all the kick ass mods for MP1 will see a swift translation into MP2. This makes me happy.

Thats the first time I have heard that MP2 will feature deformable terrain, destructable buildings, and a gore system alike SOF.
Care to quote this one and back it up with a source link?
I doubt it's really in the game.

However, MP2 is looking damn nice indeed, and I pre ordered it about a week ago off EB Games, 1 day shipping and such

Looks like its shaping to be all that MP was, and a whole lot more.
Havok physics (same being used by HL2) should supply some awesome visuals and gameplay tactics...

nukeu666 · 10-14-2003, 11:36 PM

i hope its s longer game than MP1 which i finished in 4 days

Mr.Deflok · 10-15-2003, 01:11 AM

I spent ages on MP1, I re-did every level several time before moving on to the next just so that I could find the most effective route and vantage points and not have to use any painkillers whatsoever.

I'm looking forward to doing the same for MP2... all I need right now is money... Anyone need a Kidney? I've got a spare one, but it'll cost ya.
