Max Payne News | Launch Trailer & Social Club Crews Live
This past Thursday saw Rockstar release the launch trailer for Max Payne 3.
Additionally, last week saw the initial launch of "Crews" on the
Rockstar Social Club; you can join the Project
Manhunt crew by clicking here. I haven't had the opportunity to explore
the options available, but it seems like members can create custom emblems for
use in their crew. If anyone wants to attempt an emblem for our crew or just
discuss matters related to the crew system then let us know on the forums.
Max Payne News | Community Event Impressions Online
Rockstar recently invited members of the Rockstar fan site community out to
play Max Payne 3 in New York. You can check out their hands-on experience with
the game below:
Several of those that attended the event don't appear to have posted their
impressions online yet, I'll add those to the list as they are made available.
A few of the above mentioned sites are taking the time to answer questions related
to the game (particularly the Max Payne centric sites) so it might be worth
hoping over there if you have a question that can't wait until the game is released.
A wee bit late posting this but, better late than never, right? Rockstar recently released the third entry in the Max Payne 3 Design and Technology Video Series, titled "Visual Effects and Cinematics". They also promise to release the first multiplayer gameplay video later this week.
IGN have posted an article where they talk to Dan Houser that is worth a read over. Of note are the first details regarding "Crews" in Max Payne 3, formed "Crews" will be persistent and carry over into future Rockstar titles (including Grand Theft Auto V) and can be accessed through the Rockstar Games Social Club.
Hopefully we can get a Project Manhunt crew set up once the game is released.
