Max Payne 3: First PC screens, Mini-30 rifle trailer and new story details



Rockstar Games released the first screens from the PC version, a new trailer and more story details.









Rockstar released the first screenshots of the PC version of Max Payne 3 and announced that the version will “feature gloriously increased resolution and graphical detail” in comparison to the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. You can find the screens below.

There is also a new video featuring the Mini-30 rifle in Max Payne 3. You can get a 360 degree look at the gun, too.

Art director Rob Nelson from Rockstar Games explained the motivation of Max Payne in the game and teased a bit of the game's story.

“We wanted to convey a sense of desperation and intrigue that is all too familiar for Max. One of the themes of the Max Payne series is the idea that Max is often in over his head, outnumbered and outwitted by unseen forces, and Max alone, looking for answers on the streets of an unfamiliar city, perfectly plays into the atmosphere and themes of the original games.”

“One obvious thing to notice are the many different looks to Max as his appearance changes throughout the story. It reflects not only the progression of the narrative but also Max’s mental state. By the time Max decides to shave his head, he is ready to take the fight to his enemies, and feels like this is one way of preparing for the fight that is to come.” he said.

Nelson also introduced the three brothers in the Branco family: Rodrigo, Max’s boss and the eldest, is a businessman and real estate mogul, then comes Victor, a local politician, and Marcelo, who is “a party-loving, euro trash playboy”.

“Max gets connected to the Brancos by Raul Passos, a long forgotten colleague from the NYPD,” said Nelson. “Passos has convinced Max to leave New York and work as a private security guard for the family, which is an opportunity for Max, who’s spent years trying to drown his own memories with booze and painkillers, to try and leave a lot of his problems behind. Since Fabiana is kidnapped on Max’s watch, Max is suddenly forced to re-live the events of his tragic past and so sets about trying to make things right for the Brancos in a way he never could for his own family.”
