di: al85ex

Arriva la prima notizia soprendente direttamente dal GDC di San Francisco, dove il team Rockstar Games ha annunciato pochi minuti fà il ritorno sulle console next generation del titolo “Noir” amato da moltissimi fan e interpretato da uno dei detective piu’ famosi del mondo: Max Payne. Il titolo è programmato per il prossimo inverno e sarà sviluppato per Xbox360, Playstation3 e Pc. Da quanto cita il portavoce del team americano Houser che è anche fondatore della stessa Rockstar Games il gioco sarà un capitolo tutto nuovo sulla vita di Max Payne. Il protagonista sarà piu’ invecchiato, e porterà su di lui un grande peso dato appunto dagli avvenimenti passati della sua vita. Da notare che nello sviluppo del titolo non sarà presente la Remedy sviluppatrice originale del titolo, impegnata nel misteriosissimo Alan Wake. Attendiamo con ansia ulteriori riscontri.

Sortez les turbans, faites sonnez les clairons, voici la news de la journée, en attendant du moins le commencement du GDC. Rockstar Games vient tout juste d’officialiser que Max Payne 3 était en développement chez Rockstar Vancouver. Prévu pour l’hiver 2009, ce titre sortira sur PC, Xbox 360 et Playstation 3. Sam Houser, fondateur de Rockstar Games, s’est quant à lui exprimé, expliquant que ce jeu serait un nouveau chapitre de la vie de Max. On nous annonce de plus un personnage vieilli par les années, plus cynique que jamais, la faute aux événements des deux précédents épisodes de sa vie.
À noter que Remedy, le développeur originel de la franchise ne fait pas parti du projet. La raison devrait se trouver du côté d’Alan Wake, qui leur demande apparemment énormément de temps.

Di seguito il comunicato ufficiale:

“We?re starting a new chapter of Max’s life with this game,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “This is Max as we?ve never seen him before, a few years older, more world-weary and cynical than ever.
