PostMax Payne 3 and New PS3 Exclusive Coming From Rockstar?

Perhaps you've noticed that our October issue of EGM is on its way out the doors of 1UP Manor and into your homes, and perhaps that bit of knowledge has left you wondering what's waiting for you in everyone's favorite section of the magazine: Quartermann! Well, since we know how much you love getting your monthly taste of gaming gossip, we're giving a sneak peek at some of the hottest rumors in this month's Qmann column.

We've been hearing for months that Max Payne 3 is in the works, but this month we got something a bit juicier to add to this rumor: Original Max Payne developers Remedy Entertainment are currently too busy working on Alan Wake to even consider developing the new Payne sequel. Instead, the next-gen noir shooter will be handled by the same internal Rockstar team that created The Warriors. And perhaps even more exciting, we've got word that Rockstar is still hard at work on an unannounced PlayStation 3 exclusive. Who's making it? Why, just the guys behind a little-known Rockstar release from earlier in the year....

But that's not all, loose-lip addicts. Remember earlier this summer when LucasArts finally announced Star Wars: The Clone Wars -- Lightsaber Duels, the lightsaber-wielding Wii game that everyone had been waiting for? And then not a month later, when Nintendo announced WiiMotion Plus during E3? Well, apparently LucasArts hadn't heard anything about this new technology, so Lightsaber Duels will not be implementing it. The understandably ticked-off publisher is already in talks about another Wii lightsaber game that will use MotionPlus for sometime next year, according to our sources.

Certainly intriguing, not sure why sony don't just announce this to the world yet, or maybe they are being cautious incase it goes multiplatform.

So, Max Payne is thought to be multi-platform?

Could be one to watch but thus far GTA is the only Rockstar game I've enjoyed.

Max Payne I played the PC demo of but couldn't really get into it.

Max Payne will be multi, the PS3 exclusive was meant to be a new franchise.

Did this come from Shane? as he came out with another blinder last month too.

I do know that a Rockstar game for 360 was apparently pulled from E3.

So maybe they are do a different game for each of them?


Remember, there are Lies, Damned Lies and Shane's Rumours (which oddly only ever seem to favour his favourite company :lol: )

These rumours are from someone called Quartermann.

No idea if that's Shane.

From Wiki...

On the Rockstar Games official web site, L.A. Noire has a release date that is "to be announced", regions that are "to be announced", and a platform that is "to be announced". This leads to more uncertainty on when it will come out, where it will come out, and if it is still a PS3 exclusive title.


I remember reading that it would be coming to all next gen platforms, but they seem to have changed it again.

Hm.. so either it is the one MS asked them to hold back or it is scrapped.

Max Payne 2 was gooseberry fool. Well, on PS2 anyway.

I haven't played it on the PS2, but the Xbox version was fantastic & remains one of my most played last gen games.

The story wasn't as good as the first games though, but that can be forgiven as they did away with the awful & very bloody annoying dream sections.

I would prefer Rockstar bring out some new original IPs and make them multiplatform for the next gen machines

Some PS2/Xbox wii-makes of the gta games would not be bad

This, it is hardly groundbreaking to have the third installment. Hopefully it will run along side the already gooseberry fool looking film that will be a victory for us Microsoft Fanboys!

I actaully loved Max Payne 2 way more than Max Payne 1. I just hope this isn't based on the film but follows the game's story instead.

As for the Rockstar PS3 exclusive, do you thinik it'll be something other than Red Dead Revolver 2?(Or that Western game they showed off)

I didn't know they were set to show off a game at Microsoft's conference.

I have a soft spot for both Max Payne games. They were daft fun and with the likes of Bourne Conspiracy and Stranglehold showing advances in the genre they can do a lot more now.

What do you reckon they can do besides making this Stranglehold 2?
