Max Payne 3 Delayed

When publisher/developer Take-Two wasn't busy blaming its Major League Baseball franchises today in its investor report, it slipped in another low blow: the delay of Rockstar's Max Payne 3.

The game, developer by Rockstar Vancouver, was originally scheduled to come out in some unspecified time in early 2010, but now the title is coming out in the fall.

Max Payne 3 retains the series noir outlook, but dramatically changes its setting; putting Max in the favelas, or slums, of Sao Paulo. That's not the only change, as Max himself is older and more grizzled than ever. For more on the game, check out our cover story in issue 195.

  • Not surprising.

  • Delays on games like these aren't always bad. Sometimes it gives them more time to work on it. I'd rather play a game later than sooner if it was more polished. I doubt that the delay of a game like this will scare away gamers from buying it.

  • If it's good than it'll be worth it.

  • I can wait

  • So predictable. Do not understand why they ever bothered saying Winter 2009. Everyone knew that would not be the case.

  • I remember when Red Dead Redemption was going to come out in the summer lol. Now its suppose to come out 4/27/2010. It looks more polished than before. As long as the gameplay is as good as it looks it will be worth it.

  • we haven't even seen any videos of this game so the delay was expected.

  • Alot of games have been pushed back this year and seeing their stock drop its not that surprising at all

  • whatever we still have bioshock 2 and splinter cell

  • If it makes the game better than its worth it.

  • I remember the article. That game looks to be a top contender. I hated the movie, but the love for the strong story and gameplay keep me interested.

  • Sometimes games are ready to sell and then they are delayed, and when they are finally in shelves, those game become really bullcrap. sometimes games get delayed to be destroyed and become boring, repetitive and fuc...g glitchy.

  • There are too many games out right now as it is that need playing.  With so many good titles on the horizon, I think a delay might HELP them in the long run.  Plus more polish is always good.

  • this sucks. sure, i have not played the first 2 but this looked great enough to steal my heart.  why do they always do this with anticipated games?

  • Not a fan of max payne. Never was never will be.

  • I am looking forward to playing this game and they pushed it back.

  • as long as it is good, then I can wait. If it stinks even after teh delay then I will be mad.

  • I knew that would happen!! I knew this would get delayed!! Seriosuly, hy is everyone delaying games

  • To be expected. Everything is delayed these days.

  • I feared this. I have so much love for this franchise. The movie sucked and now delays on the third installment. Im gonna cry.
