Screen shot from MaxPayne 3
Max Payne 3, Rockstar does not want only to contribute to a series that thrilled players in the beginning of this century. As usual, American society nurtures ambitions much higher.She just wants to give life to shoot the film and most sophisticated ever created. All the while respecting the DNA of Max Payne. Just that. To convince us of the validity of this statement seemingly pretentious enough, we were invited to go two levels of the single player campaign. The opportunity to see once again that Rockstar has a unique expertise and that this supposed claim masks a company's unwavering confidence in his abilities.
Last Trailer 12/02/2012
As agreed, Max and Raul therefore find themselves in the middle of the lawn of this huge enclosure to provide money to the kidnappers. What nobody foresaw was that a third robber was going to invite to the party. It was later learned that this is the paramilitary group spat Preto. Heavily armed, he succeeds by using snipers to interfere in the exchange. Max is even found shot in the arm by a bullet. Bottom line, the filled bag was stolen tickets and Fabiana is still captive. It was at this precise moment that the first level of the demonstration began. So we go into the skin of a wounded hero, hunted, who must rely on Raul to emerge alive from the situation.
Max Payne does not know how in the lace.After a few minutes to stagger in the aisles of the stadium and wondering if life is still worth living, care is provided to Max by his companion galley. Ingestion of some painkillers complete rebuild of our hero. You are now ready to retrieve Fabiana. Or money. Or both if possible. Follows a series of gunfights in the various rooms that make up the stadium and outside, in the stands. While being continuously connected with Raul, you will eliminate a host of enemies, including a sniper, not easy to dislodge from elsewhere. The second level presentation, the docks of São Paulo, he remained a little more classic. Always looking to Fabiana, Max must visit tons of warehouses inhabited by members of the gang Comando Sombra. All with the arm still bandaged.
What are the windows if they can not be broken?If you spend most of their time in Brazil, Rockstar still planned to return from time to time in the United States to explain the exact reason for the arrival of Max. The narrative is not linear. Flashbacks are interposed between two levels in São Paulo. As Rockstar never leaves anything to chance, the transitions between these scenes were particularly worked. This means no abrupt fade to black, no texts, not even load times from breaking the flow of the narrative! Everything follows a logical and coherent. Visually, the difference between kinematic and phases of the game is imperceptible. So sometimes it comes to whether or not one has control over his character. The developers have been content to offer a fun action game based on interesting gameplay mechanics. But no.The ambition is much higher. The game has been polished like a precious stone which one would like to erase all imperfections. Besides the narration, Rockstar has tried to heal the staging, writing - especially the characters - the soundtrack but also the shields of his game can be found such joy with the voice of Max Payne history, that of James McCaffrey. Important because the monologues are numerous and particularly important in view of understanding the state of mind in which is the main character.
Do not ask me what there is in that bag. You do not want to know.Although still developing, Max Payne 3 is already showing well developed technically.The RAGE engine (Rockstar Advanced Game Engine) is particularly impressive. A bit like what Uncharted offers, animations of Max are incredibly varied and particularly credible. They fit perfectly with the environment in which the character evolves. The sets are themselves extremely wealthy. At each break between shootings, one marvels at the water flowing over the ground, lighting effects, texture quality ... This contributes significantly to create a unique atmosphere very dark. Thanks, also, to the soundtrack, the tension is palpable. It feels really facing what Brazil contains more black.
Never wake a sleeping Max.Obviously, all these efforts would be fruitless without the presence of a pleasant gameplay. Do not worry, Max Payne 3 is a third person shooter really effective. Besides the relatively conventional mechanical coverage including all games Rockstar have today, there are of course the bullet time. This feature popularized by the first episode of the series can slow down time. The challenge is raised, it will (re) learn to use it intelligently. It is almost impossible to get out of situations without them. Members of the spat Preto, equipped with bulletproof vests and heavy weapons, will do short work of Max if you go for it headlong. It's a bit less so with the lads gang Comando Sombra who are more talkative, less organized and more importantly, less protected. But to defend themselves, slow down time is not the only solution. You have a very wide range of movements ranging from simple roll in the ability to move his body to 360 ° when the ground is through the jump in any direction, it also slows time.
Dirt lumbago!Side of the arsenal available to Max, there is the classic. We were able to use a shotgun and a small submachine gun in addition to the basic. The wheel to choose what one has in each hand has two spaces for a weapon and a light for a heavy weapon. In the heat of the moment, the mechanics of shooting proves infallible. One feels the weight of weapons carried and the damage they cause. Location of damage is also one of the factors to be involved in drawing because the men wearing bulletproof vests are for example only vulnerable in the legs. It should also be paid to completing the targets that are just wounded history to avoid any unpleasant surprises. The health system is also an important place in the game searching levels, you'll get painkillers. These allow to heal.When you have mismanaged your stock and an enemy shooting at you while your health is already precarious and there is still a drug in reserve, you have a chance to rebuild.The action in slow motion during your long fall to hell. The reticle is moving slowly toward your executioner. If in a few seconds where time no longer follows its normal course, you manage to clear this opponent, you stay alive. If this is not the case, it's game over.Finally, for those who wonder if the target is necessarily assisted console, the answer is no. You can adjust the automation of targeting the options. And thus leave it all in "full manual".
