Max Payne 3 Delayed, Good June 9, 2010

Take 2 Interactive announced in their confrence call that Max Payne 3, a game which previously had a solid release date, will not see release this fiscal year.

This is probably due to the fact that the game design was so terribly bad and completely unlike what a Max Payne game should’ve been, when the intial previews came out, everyone so universally hated it the company must’ve stepped in and stopped the game developers from destroying their valuable property.

Something pretty similar to this happened in 2007 when the inital previews came out for what became Splinter Cell Conviction, which saw a major overhaul and shift of design focus.  Even Remedy admitted Alan Wake saw something like it during the five year game development of that game.

So they probably dropped the game from the release schedule to give the developers time to make it good.  I appreciate that Take 2.  However, I would prefer to suggest that now that Remedy, the company that made Max Payne in the first place (and made it the classic that it is today I might add), is no longer working on Alan Wake, maybe you should trash your game and beg them to make Max Payne 3 now.
