Remedy have provided fans with a small development update on the Max Payne Remake and offered an potential indication of a release year. This follows Remedy having a big shake up at the top of the pyramid. Tero Virtala resigned as Remedy's CEO with immediate effect just a few days ago.
the last time I played MP1 I had to tinker with some fanpatches to even get audio working. While it wasn’t a massive ordeal, would be nice if it worked on modern systems out-of-the-box.
That is interesting. I play it maybe once every other year and I don’t do anything.
Then again, although I have the original PC discs and box, I play it on steam using Linux. Seems like there are a lot of old games that work better on Linux than windows so maybe that is the difference.
It’s probably a windows-thing, and it’s been quite a while since I last played it (seems like it was when win7 was still a thing), but I don’t think there’s been updates to it. Could be the sound issue I had was specific to some audio hardware or settings.

Why? They should leave it alone.
Max Payne 1 and 2 are masterpieces and do not need any remake, remaster, or update.
They are great because of the way they are already.
And rockstar will be the publisher? Oh fuck, even worse. They make terrible games and require a stupid launcher.

https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Max_Payne#Issues_fixed has some audio fixes listed, but it’s been quite a while and I can’t remember the exact issue, but the audio was entirely “borked” without the fix.
Haven’t tested the game on linux yet.
IIRC Rockstar holds rights to the Max Payne IP, Remedy has nothing to do with it
