Not Max Payne. Max Payne is film noir.

There was nothing film noir about this generic 7th gen Gears ripoff.

Replayed it recently. It is a great game. Still not without its shitty flourishes that remind you it came out in 2012. Was also very funny watching Man on Fire afterwards and realizing how much they copy and pasted from that movie.

Okay. Which film noir movie(s) is Max Payne reminiscent of?

Especially when it let you play it. But good lord there's so much it just doesn't let you play.

It is amazing and seriously elevated the series over the first two which are a lot shorter and more brief by comparison.

It's an aesthetic and tone which 3 completely drops.

Every time I've seen this complaint made, nobody has a concrete example of which specific "film noir" movies influenced Max Payne. The tone definitely wasn't completely dropped. Nor was the aesthetic. The biggest filmic influence on every game in the series isn't actually noir at all.

I just recall back around launch noirfags getting all upset cause it wasn't in a dark snowy place. Which was to them the requirement for Noir. Which of course is bullshit.

well, MP2 already dropped the tone of 1. what would be the issue of 3 deviating further?

>MP3's cutscenes were considered comically long in 2012
If only we knew how good we had it.

Also, MP1>MP3>>>MP2
