Rockstar has just gone live with the first of two videos looking at Max Payne 3’s multiplayer, showcasing the 3rd person perspective and Bullet Time, as well as two of the multiplayer modes.
Modes that are mentioned in this video include Gang Wars and Payne Killer. Gang Wars sees team compete in matches where the objectives change as the action moves on. Payne Killer is a mode where two players take on the role of Max Payne and his partner, Raoul, who then face off against other players in an attempt to survive. Whoever kills Payne or Raoul, takes over the role.
I have to say this is looking really good. If you want more info on Max Payne 3 read Tuffcub’s hands on preview.
Max Payne 3 will release on PS3 and Xbox 360 on May 18th, while PC gamers will get the game on June 1st.

Looks good. I haven’t been following Max Payne at all, but this has got me interested. Would like to play the other Max Payne games first so I understand the story though.

Did I just see an (R) after “Bullet time” ? Have they really trademarked the word Bullet time???
Forrest_01
I don’t think that they could… Can they??
Surely that term was used long before Max Payne even existed??

It is a trademark, but from Warner Bros., not Rockstar:
“The term bullet time is a registered trademark of Warner Bros., distributor of The Matrix.”

Ah, was thinking it originated about the time of The Matrix.

They could have trademarketed the bullettime feature in gaming. Although, why they have left it till now is a mystery.
Taylor Made
is it just or does it remind me of uncharted multi player

Truly, truly great games that i spent hours on. I seem to remember they had pretty revolutionary combat mechanics for the time too.

That looks really good. Never played a Max Payne game before but may give this a try.

If Max Payne 1 & 2 ever get the HD Classics treatmeant they are must have’s in my eyes! But this looks great although like Uncharted like Mass Effect these games are all about the Single Player for me so i doubt i will play multiplayer much

The video won’t play for one reason or another but from what I’ve seen of this before, it looks really excellent and I like the sound of the modes, looking forward to seeing what else they have planned.

Looks like it could even top Uncharted 3!
