Max Payne 3 (PC/PS3/Xbox 360)

Scope out these new screens where you can clearly observe that Max walks a fine line between “tortured” and “badass."  And if I’m not mistaken, a hint of "hardboiled."  Two delays in, a May 15th release seems to be the final destination for Max Payne 3.  What’d you expect?  Every single bullet fired from your chamber is rendered in real-time all the way up until it tastes blood.  Bullets tasting blood alone is roughly five-thousand man-hours.

I hate to report it but it seems like that release-heavy month of March has lost some weight.  The already once delayed Max Payne 3 is suffering (or mayhaps benefiting from) another delay.

Originally dated for October of 2011, Max Payne 3 slipped into quarter one of 2012, only to fall into a May time frame which Take Two has confirmed as May 15th.  As with any delay, the publisher assures us the extra time is being taken to develop Max Payne the Third into a tighter running machine.  So says Mr. Strauss Zelnick, CEO of Take Two:

“This short delay will ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience that is expected from our company.”
