Rodrigo is a real estate mogul whose immediate family enjoy the high life. ![]() Set in Brazil Max’s newest assignment sees him as Private Security for the wealthy Sao Paulo (Brazil)Rodrigo Branco family. No longer a cop and haunted by actions of the past, he now hires himself out for Private Protection jobs for the Rich and Elite. Instead a more gritty, disheveled Max that has an obsession with the bottle and an addiction to painkillers. Gone is the ‘film noir’ that was synonymous with the brand. Max is aged, weary and battle-scarred, but not yet done. Rockstar realizing that there had been sometime since Max Payne 2 (eight years) has reflected this into the newest chapter. Overall I can say Rockstar did a great job in the visual department.Max Payne 3 has to be one of the most publicized releases this year as general gamers and fans of the series were marking dates off the Calendar until release date. When hit by bullets, blood holes appear on the enemy skin showing the point of impact. From Shooting bottles, doors, gas cylinders, windows, walls and vehicles almost everything is destructible and the environment reacts exactly as it should against the bullet impacts. The amount of detail that goes into the environments is pretty stunning. Max’s tessellated Hawaii shirt looks very realistic with the creases and folds.Īnimations are not that slick but Max moves are very well executed to complement the bullet time. The game supports every possible DirectX version from DirectX 9, 10, 10.1 and 11 and stereoscopic 3D rendering on the PC.DirectX 11 features like HBAO and tessellation are pretty evident in the game and are heavily optimized. However, the game itself is built on the RAGE game engine, so in a sense there are two engines used in the game on top of each other. This is done through the use of the advanced Euphoria dynamic animation engine. Speaking of the Engine the game has the ability to blend physics and animation.For example, when Max takes a dive to surprise his enemies he does so appropriately according to his surroundings. I have to give credit to Rockstar on this considering they put aside all past Consolitis difference and delivered what we can expect from them in future games like GTA 5. What’s surprising is that Rockstar paid special attention to the PC users and developed the Game from scratch allowingus to enjoy the game in its full visual glory. ![]()
