Yeah, and there's always someone that will see that and think: OMG! I got to get a GTX 680 for the game to run good ! and runs out to buy it. And there's the guys that see recommended GTX 680 and say: OMG! a GTX 680 is recommended, let's go buy two of them just for the sake of overkilling and showing off (and dealing with massive driver issues and electric bills )

hahah lol.
I got a second 6850, knowing the problems it could carry, because it was the cheapest way of getting more horsepower. I rather have a single card solution, but two mid-mid end cards can do quite good in CF/SLI. I know they will run Max payne 3, and any other game i throw at them. for $300 usd which wasn't dumped all at the same time, it was a great deal. I whish I would have got the 2GB version but they weren't availiable and at 1080p there's no need for more memory for most games (except ultra in BF3 and metro 2033 for eg.)

So what do people reckon? are those screenies of the PC version or of a console version? The look of the textures gives me the suspicion they're of the PC version - and naturally they'll use the screenshots of the best looking version. At least, that's what would make sense!

I`m inclined to believe that the screens are of the PC version, however if those screens are the console version, imagine who good the PC version would look.

That's what I was thinking! although they look far too sharp and detailed to be console.

I usually get 5-10 mb/s on Steam, on Origin even more and since I already re-bought the first two Max Paynes on Steam I think I'll do the same with the third.

Although with games of this size I have my fears when thinking at the pc versions of Star Wars Force Unleashed 1&2...

Starwars TFU holds the alltime low record for Gameplayfun / Gigabyte
Never saw so much space wasted for nothing.

Besides, its based on "Rockstar's Advanced Game Engine" which was designed (apparently) for first gen DX10 hardware, so DX9 and DX10 support was a must back then.

I thought GTA IV graphics were very nice, plus all the physics going on were too. It had some cool stuff like Euphoria for animations, procedural clutter, realistic water (not like Skyrim's paint-flat-geometry-with-transparent-texture water), lighting model was pretty cool, dynamic shadowing all around, etc. Cutting edge when it was released. When you have games like CoD cutting corners (corners=shadows) so they can have more detail in a friggin corridor, things get in perspective.

I dont expect a city to navigate around so probably scenery will be much more detailed on this game.

Which is a shame really, an open sandbox MaxPayne game with a city to roam about would be mindblowing.

I'm all for open cities to mess around. But probably Rockstar would get a lot of "This is GTA with slo-mo, not Max Payne!" bashing i guess.

It's a shame it's being released when it is, I will be completely busy with Diablo III so I won't be getting MP3 any time soon, even though I want to, there's just not enough hours in the day.

Guess it would most likely kill the well directed story-driven experience.

That would not be good for a Max Payne game.
Max's games are so good because of how focused they are. How driven the entire flow of the game is.
From characters, story, level progression... all of it. There's a feeling of tension and excitement that comes from the fast paced drive of Max Payne.

Open world games can't maintain that feel. And to try and put Max in such a game would not only feel completely wrong, but it even sounds wrong.

And really, people were jumping on Rockstar for changing Max Payne's look, the setting... even adding in levels during the day time.
If Rockstar had put Max in an open world game... the backlash would've been terrible. Not to mention the constant comparisons to the GTA series.

Personally, Max Payne games need to be linear, story driven affairs. They need that focused drive.

[])rStrangelove]

I agree a sandbox MaxPayne would almost feel the same like GTA V and thats prob the reason Rockstar doesnt allow this.

Still, i cant see how a big open city would destroy the impression of a focussed story or fast paced action. In GTA IV we had all that, just no slowmo / fancy shooting animations.

Remember the scenes in MP2 where you 'work' at the police apartement? I wished you could get a call on the phone or receive a mail or wahtever, go down into the garage and race with your policecar to a crimescene within 5mins. The tightly focussed story would start when you arrive at the scene and those combat animations / slowmo would happen inhouse / in backyards.
After the site is secured you & your colleques search for clues and interrogate arrested ppl about the background story. And on and on.

Well, its all personal taste of course.
