"HELP HELP!!!": A Sketch by #MaxPayne3 Multiplayer Gang Cast Member SHOHEI - Fri, 03 Feb 2012 15:18:00 -0500

Arigato to Japanese artist SHOHEI aka @hakuchitare - one of the cast members selected in our worldwide #MaxPayne3 multiplayer gang casting event held on Twitter recently - for whipping up this nice sketch to celebrate the occasion. In it, SHOHEI appears as a marked man desperately trying to get away from a pistol-toting Max Payne while exclaiming "HELP HELP!!!". Of course in his in-game multiplayer gang member appearance, SHOHEI's likeness will be just as likely to be the one wielding the weaponry and inflicting fear in would-be online assailants.

Stay tuned as we will be revealing what the #MaxPayne3 gang looks like in-game sometime this March.

Aiming down the sights of a G6 Commando.

January's issue of Official PlayStation Magazine UK features an in-depth look at one of the levels in Max Payne 3, where Max must wield heavy firepower along with absolute precision and cunning to rescue a hostage from the clutches of the ruthless Comando Sombra gang at the docks near the Tietê River.

You can now read the full preview online at the Official PlayStation Magazine UK site, and here check out a selection of screens originally only available in the print edition of the magazine. Check them out here as well as two more full high def over at the newly launched Max Payne 3 official website: www.rockstargames.com/maxpayne3/screens.

"It's heartening to see Max back on such fine form, and there's multiplayer to get excited about too... The tone is just as I remember, and it’s still about one man’s struggle against both his own demons and overwhelming odds. Oh, and did we mention that it looks amazing?" - Official PlayStation Magazine UK

Rockstar Speaks with Digital Trends on Max Payne 3 - Sat, 28 Jan 2012 11:01:00 -0500

Check out a brand new interview posted at Digital Trends where we speak on the technology behind Max Payne 3, going into detail on the game's advances in targeting and animation design as recently highlighted in our recent Design and Technology Series Video.

"Max Payne 3 is about the beauty and the art of shooting rather than just the end result, and it gives players a sense of total control over every shot. While lots of games create epic cinematic moments, our goal has been to make the entire game feel cinematic, creating one intense, seamless, non-stop experience."

Fan-Made Creations: Red Dead Redemption's Blackwater in Minecraft - Thu, 26 Jan 2012 11:20:00 -0500

As fans of Minecraft, we dig its zen-like reappropriation of resources mechanic to create whatever the hell you want - it's a cool and unusual game concept that draws some pretty hardcore fans.

Even cooler yet to see when those fans create homages to the games we make, like this awesome block-by-block recreation of the town of Blackwater, home to government agent Edgar Ross and the most modern city in Red Dead Redemption. This must have taken some serious work. Props to Minecraft builder technoanimate100 for his efforts, and check out his other creations including a recreation of Western outpost Armadillo.
