You know what’s ironic? “Max Payne 3″ will probably launch right alongside Remedy’s “Alan Wake”, so it is in Rockstar’s best interest to deliver an experience that can rival what the previous developers of the Franchise will and have brought to the table. This new GameInformer preview is a good indicator that the game is shaping up to be pretty cool.
Old fans still complain though, but Rockstar’s VP of development Jeronimo Barrera is fully aware of the criticism that has hit the title since it’s first unveiling:

“Some people say, ‘Max is a noir game and it has to be black and white and in New York,’ But noir is a style not necessarily a place and a color scheme. Noir is not necessarily saxophones and big dark shadows. It’s looking at a world in a bleak way. That’s what we’re doing. It’s more contemporary.”

There you have it, first hand: You don’t know anything about Noir. Rockstar does.

Publisher Take Two announced that Mafia 2 – developed by 2K games – and Red Dead Redemption – developed by Rockstar – will not be completed in 2009, but instead, they prognosticate the scheduled arrival time to be Q1, 2010. You might think that missing the holiday season will have a bad effect on sales, however, remember GTA 4 for the PC, struggling with serious optimalization issues, and different bugs, when it came out – so it might not be such a bad idea to postpone the arrival dates of these games.

Update: Meanwhile, Bioshock 2, another Take Two game got a site update – check it here.
