GAMING PAYNE

Max Payne is back and even though the grizzled ex-New York detective has transplanted to the warmer climates of São Paulo, Brazil, his life has not fared any better.

It's been years after the last game installment and Payne now works in the private security sector for a wealthy local family. When gangs target his clients, Payne is forced to fight to save the family and clear his name, in a bid to once and for all, rid himself of the demons that have tortured him for far too long.

Max Payne 3 utilizes cutting edge tech for a seamless, cinematic action experience, incorporating the latest advances in Natural Motion physics as well as the spankin' brand new Rockstar Advanced Game Engine. You know what this means... more sophisticated Bullet-Time mechanics. Check out the trailer that's made up entirely of in-game footage.

The game will also be the first in the series to introduce an engrossing multiplayer experience that dynamically alters maps and mode progression for all players in a match. Along with traditional multiplayer modes, Max Payne 3 will also include a deep reward and leveling system, persistent clans and more.

The game is expected to be released March 2012.
