“No longer a cop Max is close to washed-up drunk and addicted to painkillers. Without a job on the force Max has left the greater New York area and he finds himself in Sao Paulo Brazil working in the burgeoning field of private security. Maxs latest assignment sees him protecting the family of Rodrigo Branco a wealthy real estate mogul and his two brothers: Victor a local politician and the youngest Marcello a party-loving Eurotrash playboy along with Fabiana Branco Rodrigos trophy wife and Giovanna Fabianas sister.
The story of Maxs descent from vengeful leather-jacket wearing detective roaming the alleys of New York to the broken shaven-headed man out for justice on unfamiliar streets far from home is at the center of Max Payne 3.
- The combination of Natural Motions Euphoria character behavior system and Bullet Time adds a new level to Maxs classic shoot-dodge moves. Shoot-dodge is not a canned animation but a natural interaction with the environment as Max will reach out to the floor as he dives and naturally respond to objects in his way if you attempt to dive into a wall or obstacle.
- This marriage of slow-motion gunplay and Euphoria physics amplifies the cinematic action of Max Payne 3 significantly and enemies will also respond realistically to each bullet fired.
- Max Payne 3 extends the concept of Bullet-Time to now include game areas of the game that will trigger set pieces involving Bullet-Time. These provide epic moments of action that allow Max to take out enemies in a new interpretation of Max Paynes signature style.
- Bullet-Cams return: in keeping with the stylish gunplay for which Max is known Bullet-Cams deliver players a reward for downing enemies with a satisfying final kill
- Max Payne 3 takes the graphic novel panels of the earlier games and evolves them by utilizing in-game assets to create a motion comic-style approach.
- James McCaffrey the original voice of Max is back. Not only as the voice of max but Maxs appearance face and many of his movements in Max Payne 3 are all captured directly from James himself.
- Max Payne 3 features an integrated cover system. Cover adds an extra strategic element to the classic shoot-dodge/bullet-time/ run-and-gun mechanics of Max Payne providing players with new options in any given situation.
- Tremendous detail has been paid to every facet of Max Payne 3: Bullets destroy nearly everything in the environment sweat will appear on Maxs face and shirt as the heat of battle wears on and blood soaks the clothing of his enemies. Youll also notice the minute details of the weapons themselves: hammers cock back slides move shells expel from the chamber and literally hundreds more.
- Partners and sidekicks will play a large role in Max Payne 3. Hundreds of hours of custom motion-capture were done for individual characters making traditional in-game encounters completely unique such as enemies sweeping a room or simply the way Maxs partners will behave as they move through the game.
