Remedy Entertainment will remake the iconic Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne as a single title, in a development agreement with Rockstar Games.
I really like all the Max Payne games. I’m hoping Remedy’s recent involvement with Epic Games doesn’t keep more of their games locked to the Epic storefront. I still haven’t played Alan Wake 2 because it’s locked on Epic. This press release just says “PC” instead of the storefronts it will be available on, which worries me a bit.
I wonder how they’ll deal with James McCaffrey’s passing. I can’t imagine the game with someone else’s voice, and I can’t imagine just using the existing recordings from 20 years ago would be enough for a modern remake (unless it’s literally retelling the story frame by frame, I suppose).
Regardless, I’m very hopeful about this project and I’m glad Rockstar let Remedy do this. The Max Paynes are true classics and hopefully this can introduce a new generation to those stories.
