• Снова в нуар под другим углом: Max Payne 2 получит полноценный VR-мод с 6DoF и управлением руками - 22 September 2026

• 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…

• 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…

• Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes are coming from Remedy Entertainment - 10 April 2022

  Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Games have entered an agreement that will see the former remake the first two Max Payne games. Announced earlier this week (April 6), Remedy Entertainment released a press release saying that it will be remaking the original Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne . According to the statement, Remedy will develop the games as a single title for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S using its proprietary Northlight engine. Rockstar will finance the development budget, which apparently will be in line with Remedy's typical budget size for a AAA-game production. The statement also notes that the project is only in the concept development stage, so don't expect to see anything of it anytime soon. "We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games," said Sam Houser in a statement, founder of Rocks…

• The 12 most extravagant lines of dialogue in games - 21 February 2020

  One Off The List is our weekly list feature. Is there something you think doesn t deserve to be on this list? Comment with your reasons why, and next week it may be struck off. The greasy realm of the videogame is not always the best place to look for good writing. For every Disco Elysium there are roughly 800 Detroit: Beyond Human s. But it is a good place to look for wondrous, over-the-top nonsense. I m talking about character dialogue so flamboyant and exaggerated, you could insert some line breaks and it would instantly become a verse in a glam rock anthem. Here are the 12 most extravagant, exuberant, and intense lines of dialogue. In games, subtext is just whatever s written on the side of the nuclear submarine. (more…)

• The best action games on PC - 7 February 2020

  Everyone loves a good action game. It’s the driving force behind so many of our favourite PC games, but only a few can lay claim to being the best action games of all time. That’s why we’ve compiled this list – to sort the pulled punches from the bestest biffs that PC has to offer. Whether it’s the joy of pulling off a perfect combo, riding the wave of an explosive set-piece or the hair-raising thrill of dodging enemy attacks in slow-motion that gets you going, there’s an action game here for you.

• The best Max Payne 2 mods - 2 September 2019

  Every other Monday, Dominic gives you a reason to dust off one of your old games and dive into its mods with Modder Superior. I felt the rise of that old familiar feeling. I hated it. I welcomed it. We’re going back to Max Payne 2 . With Control out now and putting Remedy back on the map, we’re diving into their 2003 hit, and back into a world of slow-motion gunplay, over-the-top twirling reloads and mods absolutely obsessed with The Matrix and early 2000s action movie soundtracks. In fairness, the Max Payne 2 mod scene has been largely stagnant for the past few years, but that doesn’t mean dead. Let’s take a look at some of the more interesting scrapes Max and pals have shot themselves out of. (more…)

• Max Payne 2 mod makes it more like Max Payne 3 - 2 January 2014

  Max Payne 3 may have strayed too far from the series' roots for some fans' liking, but at least one thought it introduced a few cool new tricks. A new Max Payne 2 mod named Payne Evolution, released yesterday, adds in bits and pieces lifted from MP3, some of which you may be happier to see than others. Changes in the mod include splicing bits of player-controlled action into cutscenes, adding the 'Last Stand' chance for Max to be revitalised when he's dying, arming Max with close-range execution kills, and cutting his inventory down to three weapon slots.

• Retrospective: Max Payne 2 - 29 January 2012

  When someone says they're not excited about Max Payne 3 my automatic reaction is to screw up my eyes and give them a hard stare. The statement, and often its calm delivery, destabilises me. Who is this person? Why do they have this wrong level of excitement? The balance nubbins in my ears revolve gently while I'm derailed onto a track several degrees asynchronous from reality. Max is the dearest of all my friends. How can he not be yours? Perhaps it's a PC thing. Max's heyday was certainly seen in with mouse rather than gamepad, so it's entirely possible that he's more fondly remembered in the Keyboard Kingdom. Or maybe it's a symptom of both Payne games being instigators of great movements in gaming, rather than the classics that continued or ended them with a flourish. After all, the only thing our disgraced cop hero ever really ended with a flourish were the lives of gangsters hit by…

• Remedy "proud" of Rockstar's "brilliant" Max Payne 3 - 16 January 2012

  Max Payne creator Remedy Entertainment has praised Rockstar's upcoming take on the series, and said Max Payne 3 looks "brilliant". Remedy boss Oskari "Ozz" Hakkinen told Kotaku he was enthusiastic for the Rockstar-developed threequel, due on PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in March. "We absolutely love what they've done and couldn't be more proud of where the series is headed," Hakkinen said. "I mean, don't really make s***ty games, do they?" he continued. "It's as if the Rockstar logo has become this 'seal of quality'." Alan Wake developer Remedy sold the Max Payne rights to Rockstar's parent Take-Two in 2002. The price? $10 million plus company stock. Rockstar previously developed console ports of the original Max Payne for PS2, and Max Payne 2 for PS2 and Xbox.

• Is That A Cracked Version Of Max Payne 2 On Steam? - 12 May 2010

  The Steam executable for Rockstar's Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne bears a striking resemblance to a no-CD hack released by now defunct piracy group Myth. Could it just be a coincidence? Several Kotaku readers have pointed us towards a post on the Max Payne Steam forums , in which Steam user Liamaj points out the Myth logo he discovered after opening the Max Payne 2 executable in notepad. I downloaded my own version of Max Payne 2 from Steam, and the logo is definitely in there. Check out this image to compare executables. At the top, we have the executable downloaded for Max Payne 2 via Steam, with the Myth logo displayed prominently at the top. On the bottom, the executable file I found while searching for Max Payne 2 hacks in Google. The Steam executable weighs in at 1,460 KB, while the 1.01 no-CD hack from Myth is 1,452 KB. Now there's a chance this is just a prank from some Roc…
