Max Payne 3: The Fall Of Personal Hygiene
Welcome back. You're a regular here, so why not follow us on Twitter too...
Max Payne is many things. Wronged cop, verbose time-bending cynic, one-time member of New Kids on the Block.
What we haven’t associated with the tragic trigger-happy character up until now is grime of a more personal nature.
Time to re-evalute your impression of Mr. Payne then, as if Game Informer’s new images are anything to go by, prepare to witness the ultimate descent of a man – no longer stripped of just his hope and morality – but also of deodorant and common dress-sense.
We have to admit that we’re a little conflicted over Max’s new look. On the one hand, he looks like a super bad-ass; a mix of Bruce Willis, Jeff Bridges’ Obadiah Stane from Iron Man and Zangief from Street Fighter II. But what of old dapper Max with his leather jacket and cocked eyebrows? We kinda liked the fact Max wasn’t your typical muscle-engorged nutter.
As we know times are hard and mouse-clicking is at an all-time premium, we’ve embedded GameTrailer’s slide-show of the new images rather than create a gallery. Galleries also don’t create themselves so we admit this is the slightly more lazier of options.
Old Bitter Max or New Mad Max? Have your say in the comment section. That’s what it’s there for.
I’m very disappointed with these new images. You should be able to recognise Max Payne just by looking at him, and now he just looks average in my opinion. Also, what’s with the sunny local? So far this is not looking how I would expect for a Max Payne game, and I loved the first 2.
