Would you look at this stuff that they’re showing off in this? If they’re actually all playable activities and not just isolated for missions, this is one big game Rockstar is putting together. And if they’re all reasonably well executed as well? That would make Grand Theft Auto V something really special.
With such a big world that they’re crafting, I sincerely hope that it is worth exploring.

Dead Space 3 Weapon Crafting
Okay, Dead Space 3, you are looking better with each video outing. I’m a fan of weapon crafting and thus I’m a fan of what you are bringing to the table. I hope Visceral Games will finally win me over with Dead Space 3. It’s a great franchise.
Rockstar decided to remind everyone that Grand Theft Auto V is still being worked on with a couple of screenshots. A couple of scenic screenshots of the places that we’ll all be wreaking havoc through.
Yeah. Boring.
The original Max Payne is one of my favorite PC games. I played it so much that I didn’t even mind those “frustrating” blood trail dream sequences. As for its sequel? I didn’t devote as much time to it. I recall it being fine but it didn’t click with me like the original did.
Now with Remedy out of the picture, the weight of the Rockstar development machine behind it and enough time passing so that a sequel by a different developer wouldn’t be weird: I was ready for a Max Payne 3.
I’m actually a few days late with this, but that’s alright.
The Max Payne 3 infomercials continue with Rockstar touting their upcoming game’s shooting mechanics.

You’ve got yourself a customer, Rockstar. Seeing footage like this makes the delay a bit more unbearable.
It’s not a delay if it’s just following the pre-established pattern of “Rockstar titles release in May”. Like Red Dead Redemption and L.A Noire before it, Max Payne 3 will be filling our hearts full of lead in May instead of the initial March timeframe.
The exact date is May 15th, 2012 for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and May 29th, 2012 for the PC. I’m getting the PC version. I sincerely hope AMD/ATI will have their drivers in order and not botch the launch like they do for nearly every major release in the past 8 months.
I won’t be surprised to see Grand Theft Auto V make a May 2013 debut.
Rockstar’s Max Payne 3 campaign has started with both moving images and classic still images.
The Design and Technology video was an impressive demonstration of Rockstar’s Advanced Game Engine in a real action game. The Euphoria’s animations system produces amazing results. I just hope it plays as good as it looks.
The game even looks great in stills as these screenshots portray.
Max Payne 3 is slated for March 2012 for the PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
