- Шведский актер Алек Тоселли работает над ремейком Max Payne 1&2 - пока неизвестно, кого он играет - 6 October 2026
В сети появились первые конкретные детали об актерском составе грядущего ремейка Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake. По информации из официального портфолио шведского актера Алека Тоселли (Alec Toselli), он официально вошел в производственную команду проекта для работы над захватом движений (Motion Capture). В его анкете роль на текущий момент обозначена как TBA (будет объявлено позже) с пометкой SUP (Supporting Role). Это указывает на то, что Тоселли подарит свои движения и физический перформанс персонажу второго плана, а не самому Максу. Среди наиболее вероятных кандидатов на его роль называют Алекса Болдера - напарника Макса, чье убийство запускает сюжет первой части, либо ключевых боссов мафии. Кроме того, актеры с подобным профилем часто записывают движения сразу для целых фракций врагов и наемников. Что касается лица самого Макса, ожидается, что Remedy традиционно воссоздаст цифровой образ на…

Корпоративные соцсети крупных игровых издателей давно стали поводом для масштабных расследований среди фанатов. Внимательные игроки с помощью API-трекеров заметили любопытную деталь: Rockstar Games недавно начала подписываться на официальные аккаунты Remedy Entertainment в Instagram и Twitter (X). В индустрии, где каждый шаг гигантов контролируется сообществом, подобные «жесты вежливости» редко происходят просто так. Геймеры сразу же связали эту активность с главным совместным проектом студий долгожданными ремейками культовой дилогии Max Payne 1 & 2. Игроки надеются, что издатель готовится нарушить молчание и после выхода GTA 6 наконец-то представит первые официальные кадры или трейлер обновленных приключений Макса Пэйна.
- Набрали безумный темп: фанаты с нетерпением ждут ремейк Max Payne 1 & 2 после релиза CONTROL Resonant - 27 September 2026

Легендарный неонуарный экшен вернется на современных платформах в виде единого цельного проекта, объединяющего сюжетные линии оригинальной игры 2001 года и сиквела Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (2003).

Слухи о разработке Red Dead Redemption 3 или продолжения Bully на данный момент остаются лишь догадками сообщества никаких других внутренних одиночных проектов студия официально не анонсиро…
- We might not get GTA 6 this year, but at least this hefty sale gives you Rockstar's finest at prices too low to ignore - 25 January 2026
As part of the PC crowd, I'm pretty resigned to the fact that, even if its initial November release date sticks, we won't be getting GTA 6 over here in 2026. Rockstar Games will want to let its console version sit for a while, whether that's to ensure the PC version is as polished as possible, or simply to entice you to shell out for a PS5 or Xbox copy knowing that you'll probably buy it again when it comes to the Steam shores. If you need something to take your mind off that temptation, a new Rockstar Games sale is just the ticket. Read the rest of the story...

- Max Payne remakes have dived into full production, according to Remedy financial report - 9 August 2024
A financial report from Remedy Games released this morning has confirmed that the Max Payne remake - a modern combination of Max Payne 1 and 2 - is in "full production". This report reveals that the game entered this state within the quarter spanning April - June 2024. In addition, Control 2 has entered its production readiness stage, pointing towards that game's gradual development towards its release. CEO Tero Virtala noted as well that "development fees increased from the comparison period due to higher development fees from Max Payne 1&2 remake". What this essentially means is that its full steam ahead on the remake's development, and those loses stem from the money faucet being turned and cash flowing towards its creation. As for the wider financials for the company, things are looking better than last year, with revenue increasing 16%. Operating loss is still 3.2 million euros, wh…
- 23-year-old PC gaming classic will melt your GPU with raytracing remix - 29 January 2024
If you're excited about the possibility of classic PC games being given a new lease of life thanks to Nvidia's RTX Remix , you might want to consider that these upgrades don't come without a considerable cost. In a recent demo showing off Max Payne with RTX Remix modifications, the game does look considerably better when running on one of the best graphics cards with path tracing. However, the performance numbers take a huge hit, while GPU power consumption also nearly doubles. Read the rest of the story...

- Update: Remedy says its letter R logo dispute with Take-Two was "resolved entirely and amicably" last year - 16 January 2024
Take-Two Interactive, the parent company of Rockstar Games, is reportedly in a trademark dispute with Alan Wake developer Remedy Entertainment, with the former having claimed that the latter’s logo featuring the letter R resembles its own. This has resulted in Take-Two opposing the trademarks filed by Remedy for two different logo designs via the UK’s Intellectual Property Office, as you can see noted on the listings here and here. It’s an interesting situation to say the least, given that the companies entered an agreement to work together to facilitate remakes of the first two Max Payne games just last year. The notices revealing Take-Two’s opposition to the two trademarks linked above were spotted by RespawnFirst , which has reported that Take-Two’s opposition stems from the fact it believes “there exists a likelihood of confusion on the part of the public” regarding Reme…
- Max Payne voice actor James McCaffrey passes away, tributes pour in - 19 December 2023
Actor James McCaffrey, who provided the voice of Max Payne and more recently Alex Casey in Alan Wake 2 , has died at the age of 65. According to a statement given by a representative of the actor to TMZ , he passed away surrounded by friends and family on December 17, after being diagnosed with multiple myeloma. Fellow actor Kevin Dillon was the first to publicly acknowledge McCaffery’s death via a post on Instagram , but there was some initial confusion regarding whether this was actually in reference to the actor, due to the death of an Irish teenager with a similar name being reported around the same time. Following confirmation of his passing, Remedy paid tribute to the actor on Twitter. “We are deeply saddened to hear about the passing of our beloved friend and collaborator James McCaffrey, the iconic voice of Max Payne and Alex Casey,” it said. “His remarkable ta…

- Alan Wake dev, Remedy, offers status updates on major sequel and anticipated remakes - 31 October 2023
Alan Wake 2 is finally out, but in a recent financial review, developer Remedy Entertainment has offered some updates on what's next. After a long thirteen years, the follow-up to Remedy's 2010 thriller Alan Wake is finally out, but the developer has a lot more in store.

Now, in a recent financial review , Remedy has given us some brief updates on its upcoming projects. According to the report, "Control 2 continues in the proof-of-concept stage. The plans for this sequel are ambitious, and we have seen good progress both in the designs and in the game build. We will continue at this stage for the next few quarters."

- The face of Max Payne, Sam Lake, on if he regrets using his likeness in the games - 30 October 2023
Alan Wake 2 director Sam Lake has suggested that, in hindsight, he might not have been as open to the idea of lending his own mug to Max Payne had he known how successful the series would become. With Remedy having just released the long-awaited Alan Wake 2 to a pretty stellar reception , Lake and co look to currently be taking a well earned chance to savour the achievement before getting started on any new projects . In an interview with GQ , Lake touched on his humble beginnings in game development, seemingly suggesting that he might not have gifted his likeness to Max Payne had he been aware just how many people would see it. “If I had known how big the whole thing would become, would I have done it? I don’t know, but it would certainly have given me pause,” Lake said. He also noted that his friends, including Remedy cofounder Petri Järvilehto, once jokingly compared his…
- Get two of the best PC shooters ever for less than $5 - 1 August 2023
It's hard to articulate my love for Max Payne . One of the greatest games of all time, when I try to explain precisely what makes it so excellent I get so flustered and overexcited all my words just kind of merge into one big sound. Likewise, Max Payne 2, the action-adventure game sequel, remains one of the best games of 2003, especially those levels in the funhouse. With the Alan Wake 2 release date on its way and Remedy also working on the Max Payne remakes, if you haven't sampled the hard-boiled, bullet-time shooters already - or just want to slow-mo dive back into Max Payne after almost 20 years - you can get both games now for under $5.

- 20 years on, Max Payne is as stylish as ever - 1 August 2021
You've got to give it to Remedy: they know how to start a story off with a bang. As Max Payne opens, our antihero is on the summit of a skyscraper while sirens wail in the gloom below. "They were all dead," Max says with that famous frown. "The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point." We go back a few years next, to the brutal double murder of Max's wife and newborn child, then follow his revenge mission (guns do the talking, and two wrongs do indeed make a right). By acts two and three, the guns are bigger and the body count has mounted while the web of lies are slowly untangled. The next thing you know, the dénouement comes again - Max back on his perch above the tinny whine of those police cars. Starting at the end and coming full circle means Max is able to narrate the entire tale: a classic literary trick that more games ought to use. The mea…
