Max Payne 2

[Decoy]

I hadnt the slightest idea that there would be a Max Payne 2. The first time I heard about it was on todays Penny-Arcade. Anyone else know about this game and buy it? I really want this game just because of the title, but no money.

[Serious Sam]

It's great. But very hard. Runs excellent on my p4, 1.6, 512ddr, geforce2mx32mb.

I'd recommend it.

max payne is cool *plug (http://www.threeboy.com/design/xezol/)*

I still havn't played the orignal. Interested though.

I think the changes to his appearance is more aesthetically pleasing, but it just doesn't fit the sinister feeling and personality of the character, Max Payne. Seriously, he looks like someone's dad.

Here's a pic (http://www.firingsquad.com/media/gallery_image.asp?media_id=14&pic_id=11)

Yeah he does look like sombodies dad, but he did have a kid and a wife before. At least now he doesn't look like he's smelling stinky cheese 24/7.

[Decoy]

Thats what he looks like? I dont know, I was feelin it. He looks like he gained some weight haha

The only thing Max should "off" is that tie. It is grossly out of date.

I played and beat it yesterday, and I liked it, a lot. And jumping through the air with duel Desert Eagles in slow-mo NEVER goes out of style.

[inigoesdr]

Very true. :)

[MulletMan]

Haha, have they changed their faces at all in the second one? Because in the first one, the characters' faces were all static and it was driving me insane.

[zubaz]

yeah, it looks infinitely more realistic this go round

[MulletMan]

That's what I like to hear. All I need now is a new computer!!

add "-developerkeys -screenshot" to your max payne 2 shortcut.

F3 toggles moving the camera around, controlling your character, arrow keys control movement of the camera.

Home and End determines the speed of the game. You can slow down the action matrix style, and then do the bullettime 360 with the F3 camera keys. Awesome shit.

And of course, pause it for screenshots

i didn't want to bombard this forum with all of these screenshots as i don't know how you guys would take it. so, i'll link you to them instead ;)

I think it looks quite nice with the new video card. Not used to being able to turn all the settings on max...yay :P

[Devil]

graphics are über.

[Tesel]

Yeah I watched my friend finish the game... it was set on easy and it looked damn hard... bullet time is sweet! I recommend it.

So purty. I'm droolin' ova here.

[Shamus]

It looks even better while playing ;)

[MonkZero]

damn you brentech, your graphics are way better looking than mines, your looks so shiny and clean, mines looks dark and uh, kinda clean. are your settings maxed? what card you using?

oh btw, for the developer, you can use page up and down for models, but it screws the game if your busy trying to beat it. but if you keep going, youll come across monas nude model, kinda funny going bullet time with a deagle nude, i think in real life it would hurt diving and skiding across the floor.

[brentech]

Yeah. They're all maxed.
I use a ATI 9600 PRO

[MonkZero]

hmm i wonder what my frame rate would be with all maxed. i got a geforce 4 ti 4400

[brentech]

eh. Not really sure. I imagine you'd do pretty decent.

[MonkZero]

i maxed everything, and they arent all shiny. im mad! :D
