Rockstar expectations be pretty low these days. They just removed the name of the developer from the recent GTA remakes. I don't know about this company anymore.

They suck, next GTA is going to be fine but not worth the excessive wait.
Online ruined it all.
Max Payne was so amazing. I don't knwo why, but I totally loved the atmosphere. Night, cold, desperation, drug lords, bullet time, comic strips, music, fast gunplay, it all made such a wholesome package. (The only part I really disliked was the dream passage where you had tu run through darkness on thin red lines, that was PITA.)
I fear remake will lose some aspects that made Max Payne what it was. Replace comics with cut scenes and it would not be the same game. Replace dark, grim, shadowy graphics with modern flashy ray traced lightning awesomeness and it surely would look good, but it wouldn't be the Max. Replace fast paced shooting tempo with more cover based or just differently paced approach and yet again, it wouldn't be the same game. Etc.
Maybe they will keep the dark, grim, shadowy graphics and the fast paced shooting.
Truly one of the best games ever, especially in the context of when it came out. Perfect timing of the well-executed slowmo gunplay mechanics right as the matrix popularized bullet time. Story and storytelling way better than they had any right to be. Really good pacing and length. Acts broken up by genre-bending dream sequences. Great voice acting.
I think the graphics might have been the only thing about this game that wasn't ahead of its time. They still got the job done though.
Hopefully this game gets a remake as faithful as Demons's Souls.
