Talking Point: Are You Excited For Remedy's Max Payne 1+2 Remake?

I loved Control, Quantum Break, and the Alan Wake games, but I never played any of Max Payne games. I am eagerly anticipating these remakes! Day one purchase for sure.

I’ve played Max Payne on PC upon its release and the same with Max Payne 2 but on OG Xbox. I now own both OG Xbox versions via BC but I’m still going to get this day one. I can’t really get excited for it as I doubt that it will even release next year, I can see this releasing in 2026.

Memba Dead to Rights? I want that remastered.

Having recently bought Max Payne 1 & 2 Bundle on Steam, I am very much looking forward to a Remake.

Max Payne 1 specifically hasn't aged too well.

I do wonder if Remedy will reuse the same voice acting recordings for the Remake or use a whole new cast.

It will be sad to not hear James McCaffrey as Max Payne anymore.

Two of my favorite games of all time. Also, the Splinter Cell remake is coming soon, hopefully. Now if they can just do a remake of Manhunt, all my video game dreams have come true.

As long as it doesn't have that ridiculous storyboard feature they added to Alan Wake 2 I in.

Probably two of my most anticipated games coming. Especially with the pedigree of Remedy.

I would say 100% n o. 😂

I've seen my friends play a bit of the original game, but want to experience it for myself. So, yes, I am!

I have never played the first two, so definitely up for this. 3 is amazing.

Remedy the makers of Alan Woke 2 so idc about anything they make

@Kieduss is this the one with the dog?

I actually thought Max Payne 3 was a much better game and story too...

I guess it depends on how well its done, but I'd prefer a reboot to a remake, and a remake to a 'port' so at least its not as 'bad' as it could be...

Apprently I am. Enough to make me not pick the originals in the sales because the remake is coming (at somepoint)

If done right i would like to give them a go. I used to like the series a long while back. They are in need of modern tech. Hope they get them done right.

I'm cautiously optimistic. Max Payne 1 is my top 5 favourite and I consider it to be a 10/10 game. No pressure, Remedy.

I hope they reuse James McCaffrey's voice lines for the remake, since he passed away recently.

RIP

I will wait until the gameplay reveal before i have any level of interest in this. I am curious if/how they do the bullet time.

I'm on the fence I know the first two max Payne games got loads of publicity but for me they were terrible but remedy is a different animal these days now

@GamingFan4Lyf This is where I am. I am excited for the games, but really hope they are using the McCaffrey voice work. Max Payne would not be at all the same without that voice.

I loved the first game. Beat it quite a few times. I played part 2 and lost interest halfway. I’ll give these remakes a go when then come out though.

Hell yeah! The Max Payne games are great! Would be nice if Xbox could give us a fps boost for Max Payne 3 on the Series X. Maybe even a little resolution upgrade maybe? would be nice

no

@IssaBrvndo nah your thinking asian cop and a husky

this drug addicted cop

Zero interest

@cornholio005 🙄 oh no, a game actually represents a wider demographic of players and humanity. Boycott!

The first Max Payne on pc was ground breaking. Superb game, great, gritty story, and full on action movie with slow motion 'bullet time'. Can't wait for the remake.

Very excited actually. Others times and lesser games. Finished both & enjoyed them several times (on PC & Xbox), but it's been awhile now. Looking forward what they did with the remake for another playthrough. Classic games imo!

I'm 100 percent interested in these remakes. Loved the originals. I think Max Payne is the only OG Xbox backwards compatible game I ever played on back on Xbox one. I also played it on the OG itself way back when. So two playthroughs , fantastic game.

@everynowandben I think very highly of them, you should enjoy it you liked all that.

@Kieduss yes

The original games were amazing for their time, and I expect the remasters to be on the level of a Resident Evil. Fairly sure they'll be able to pull it off with how incredible Alan Wake II turned out to be.

Only because remedy is the ones making it but it's a shame James Mcaffery passed away so young and quite recently too

If there's a physical copy sure. But it's remedy so they'll say they did me a favor by not letting me "own" a copy and I'll pass.

This was a little that a little over my head when I was younger and I never played it. I’m definitely interested in a remake!

i doubt it is needed, especially if it will be "updated for modern audiences"

@Kris2fur ooooo well. Hmmmmm

@GamingFan4Lyf Sam Lake actually stated that they would be reusing the voice work from the original games and only the graphics engine would be overhauled into Unreal Engine 5... Trust me... James will still be the voice of Max!

@nuff64 That is actually an old screenshot from the original Max Payne 2 and isn't related at all to the remakes.. So far, Remedy has not shared any screenshots at all of the upcoming remakes.

@The_Gamers_Grotto This is the way
