‼️MAX PAYNE REMAKE FAQ

The below are being asked several times a week/month, so I compiled them in a little FAQ for quick information. I’ll do my best to keep it up to date with any new information that's being released.

You are ofc more than welcome to discuss all of the below on the board, but PLEASE USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION BEFORE POSTING.

Chances are your question has been asked (and potentially answered) before, as all of the below have been extensively discussed, so just hop on one of the existing threads and join in :) That way, members don't have to constantly repeat themselves, and you may find the answers and / or input you're looking for are already out there.

  1. Who will be the new face? Nobody knows yet. No information has been released.

  2. Who will be the new voice? Nobody knows yet. No information has been released.

  3. Will they use AI to mimic James McCaffrey's voice? While there's nothing official on it, the answer is most likely a resounding NO. Remedy have a very firm anti-AI stance and while we don't know who will be voicing Max, it is fairly certain that it will not be done via use of AI.

  4. Will they reuse James’ original voice lines? No information has been released, but it is highly unlikely as the remake includes a rewrite of the script from the original games.

  5. When is it coming out? No release date has been announced. While Remedy are developing the remakes, any and all marketing is entirely with Rockstar as the publisher. Any information regarding a release date will be coming through Rockstar’s channels.

  6. When are we getting a teaser / trailer? Nothing has been announced. Any announcements will be coming through Rockstar’s channels.

I'm just tagging this as Help since I don't know what else I would.
I even turned the brightness up since I can't find the guy I keep missing.

After 8 runs and about 4 since I first played MP3, I finally decided to grind for those three achievements I wanted. Now my Max can finally take his finger off the trigger.

It's all over. No more single-player challenges. No more time limits. No more bullets to be fired. Only silence.

Max Payne 1 One cool thing about the new patch update is that I can finally see a little bit of Payne's face and his current expressions as well during gameplay.

And that was without any mods. Although yes, we can see his face in cutscenes but not during gameplay

I haven't replayed the game recently since I was busy for other games for grinding and stuff.

Discussion Do you think Max Payne prequel would work?

34 Upvotes

I was just thinking there is a novel that came out in 2013 that explains Max's past but I don't how would that work since bullet time is core gameplay of these games

Max Payne 3 Anyone else replaying Max Payne 3 after seeing GTA 6 Extended Trailer?

56 Upvotes

GTA 6 gunplay reminded me of MP3 so I am gonna replay it now on Steam Deck. It’s been many years but I think the game aged well!

Fun fact: MP3 was my first ever Steam purchase when it came out.

Good luck everyone!

I sign into social club and it just loads forever and ever and ever, but as soon as I deactivate social club, the game works, but only in single player I wanna play multiplayer again, but I can’t find any solution to fix it. I’m hoping Reddit will help me with this. Any ideas?

I have been fan of Max Payne since I was 13. Those games left me traumatized. I loved Mona Sax so much that I changed my Facebook name to it. Cringey!

Discussion Max Payne 1 & 2 Remakes

62 Upvotes

It’s obvious that we won’t get any news just yet with Control Resonant & GTA VI being both companies main focus and we also might not get them on current gen consoles but I’d love to know

  1. If they keep the original gameplay and add extras like FPS, executions etc

  2. If the gameplay differs a little between 1 & 2

  3. If they change or keep certain bits of the story i.e. family death scene etc
