Max Payne 3 Coming to Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC this May
Posted: January 17, 2012 8:30AM | Author: R* Q
Today we're proud to officially announce that Max Payne 3, the highly-anticipated dark and gritty action experience that continues the tale of former New York City detective Max Payne, will be available for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation3 on May 15, 2012 in North America and May 18, 2012 in Europe, with the PC version launching on May 29th, 2012 in North America and June 1st, 2012 in Europe.
For Max, the tragedies that took his loved ones years ago are wounds that refuse to heal. No longer a cop, close to washed up and addicted to pain killers, he takes a job in São Paulo, Brazil, protecting the family of wealthy real estate mogul Rodrigo Branco, in an effort to finally escape his troubled past. But as events spiral out of his control, Max Payne finds himself alone on the streets of an unfamiliar city, desperately searching for the truth and fighting for a way out.
Featuring cutting edge shooting mechanics for precision gunplay, advanced new Bullet Time® and Shootdodge™ effects, full integration of Natural Motion’s Euphoria Character Behavior system for lifelike movement and a dark and twisted story, Max Payne 3 is a seamless, highly detailed, cinematic experience.
In addition to an expansive single-player campaign, Max Payne 3’s multiplayer offering brings the game’s cinematic feel, fluid gunplay and kinetic sense of movement into the realm of online multiplayer. Building on the fiction and signature gameplay elements of the Max Payne universe, Max Payne 3 features a wide range of new and traditional multiplayer modes that play on the themes of paranoia, betrayal and heroism, all delivered with the same epic visual style of the single-player game.
Look for much much more from Max Payne 3 in the weeks and months ahead, including the next video in the Design & Technology Series and the official site launch.

Whats with releasing good games for inferior consoles 1st? You guys better release GTA V on PC 1st since you gave MP3 to console 1st... So weak dude... Gaming is going down the drain with all these weak ass console ports that PC community has to suffer for. Make the game a release on a proper machine and then port it to consoles. Who cares if they get screwed on one game when every other game is tailored to them and they still --- and complain.

HEY R*STAR THANKS FOR SAYING YOU LIKED MY COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IM REALLY PUMPED FOR MAX PAYNE 3. I LOOKED ON THE ROCKSTARGAMES.COM GTAV FORUMS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE DISSING MAX PAYNE 3. HOPE YOU STILL INCLUDE BULLET TIME IN MULTIPLAYER, IF YOU DO, THAT WOULD BE GREAT!!!!! MY IDEA OF ADDING BULLET TIME TO MULTIPLAYER WOULD BE, WHEN YOU USE IT, IT WOULDNT SLOW DOWN TIME, IT WOULD JUST FOR COOL AFFECT AND TWIST THINGS UP A BIT!!!

@Ghost99xbox Thanks, we're glad you're looking forward to it
@NYPDMAXPAYNE Nice!
@kendalpwns We also would like the Max Payne 3 PC release to happen as close as possible to the console release date, it just wasn’t possible to get the PC version lined up day and date with the console releases, but we’re working to make sure it’s with you just a couple weeks thereafter
