From just the basic pistols to the shotguns and assault rifles, the entire arsenal in Max Payne 3 is incredibly satisfying to wield. That’s without getting into the weapons themselves, which all feel incredible to use. It makes the whole of Max Payne 3 feel like a physics playground combined with a bullet time shooter. Instead of diving at a wall and watching the animation play out, Max reacts to the world around him, as do the enemies you’ll be filling with bullet holes. Rockstar’s use of Euphoria and Bullet engines help give Max Payne 3 much more realistic physics, making the game feel more realistic as a result. I’m 29 and I can’t stand up without some kind of awful creaking/groaning. Instead of Max diving 20 feet across the room every time he’s looking to dodge bullets, there’s a real weight to Max’s dives, and each landing feels like a bone-rattling crash that you’d kind of expect to happen when a middle-aged alcoholic ex-cop high on pain meds starts leaping around the room. While Remedy helped in parts during Max Payne 3’s development, the third installment is a much different beast to previous games, and it works to the game’s benefit. That’s probably a controversial take for a lot of people, but I stand by it. Their implementation of slow-motion shoot dodging, paired with a gritty crime noir story, made for a formula that many developers have been borrowing from ever since, but if you want the best Max Payne game in the series, you’ll want Rockstar’s Max Payne 3. Still, perhaps there’s no bigger game that was spawned from The Matrix than the Max Payne series, which effectively pioneered the creation of bullet time games as a whole. Even slo-mo connoisseur John Woo ventured into the bullet time world with the game Stranglehold, his collaboration with Midway in 2007. Colloquially referred to as “bullet time” games, titles like Wet, Total Overdose and the upcoming El Paso, Elsewhere all owe a debt of gratitude to The Matrix.
#MAX PAYNE 3 SERIES X MOVIE#
The Matrix’s effect on the video game industry cannot be overstated, as the movie franchise ushered in a whole genre of games where people look cool shooting guns in slow motion. “…if you want the best Max Payne game in the series, you’ll want Rockstar’s Max Payne 3.”
