I loved the original. 2 was good as well. I don't think I ever finished 3.
What a well written story.

Good game, still have the mousepad!

3 was good also.
Great series of games.

Love the first 2, such great games.

I honestly clicked thinking movie remake to redo the trash that was the film.

Hell yeah! I was just playing yesterday it's a classic!

Loved 1. Could only play in 16 min increments before my graphics card would tap out and BSOD my box ??????

I’ll definitely buy the remake now that I have disposable income to have a proper GPU

Yup.  Wow that was garbage.

Was this the one they made a movie with Olga Kruylenko and Mila Kunis?

Needed a lesbo scene

I won't buy it. Sam Lake turned into a massive globohomo ESG guzzling cum stain, and Alan Woke 2 was one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life.

They're going to ruin these remakes.

I feel your pain! I was still running a Voodoo3 when Max Payne came out.

Thought they’d be remaking the movie. It was a pretty generic Hard Boiled/Death Wish etc movie though, so I dunno that there’s that much there.

Then I realized they’d be remaking the game. It had the bullet time gimmick which was neat but got old quick. Outside that it was a pretty generic shooter though, so I dunno that there’s that there.

So I guess I just don’t know that there’s that much there lol

Whoa, they're going to merge 1 & 2 into one game? That's gonna be awesome. I never got through the 3rd game for a few reasons. That main reason being it didn't feel like a Max Payne game and the other major reason is that boss fight at the airport was straight up bullshit. I couldn't get past that part.

Sweet!

Aww shit. I'm hyped. Max Payne was one of the most games ever.

1 and 2 were awesome. 3 was OK storywise. The only thing that made it worthwhile IMO was the gunplay and the NJ flashback scenes. IDK, Brazil just seemed too sunny and colorful for a Max Payne setting.

If this is going to be a 2 in one remake, they'd have to REALLY fuck up for me to not love it.

They're going to race swap Mona and insert an hour long homo erotic musical interlude that's unskippable. I'm telling you guys, it's gonna be shit.

Max Payne 1 and Max Payne 2 are some of my favorite games of all time but I honestly don't want the remake.  It's so incredibly rare that a remaster or remake is an improvement upon the original.  Notable original works are what they are as a result of numerous factors coming together at just the right time and often by chance.  It's catching lightning in a bottle.

I like the original art of those games as is.  The textures, the models, the voice acting.  They are all products of their time.  I'd take a remaster with some minor quality of life improvements that left the original art intact but that's about it.  You know, tweaks to the engine, the controls, maybe a few other minor things but the original game was great as is.

On of my favorite projects was "DarkXL" where some random guy on the internet took Dark Forces and upgraded the engine for proper mouse and keyboard play and rendering at modern screen resolutions.  The "art" of the original game was entirely preserved but it was just made more playable for a modern audience.  The game basically played exactly like my brain remembered it from the 1990s, none of the original feel was lost, and that in my mind is the way to properly honor and old game.

Same goes for movies.  I don't mind some work done to clean up the picture and the audio but don't go in there and George Lucas the fucking thing.

Loved the series.  I think one of the games came free with one of my video cards, maybe the diamond viper v770.

I've prefer a remaster similar to what happened with quake though.  A reboot will probably be garbage.

You're probably right.

It's going to be molested. This is nu remedy.
