Rockstar has released a behind the scenes look into the making of Max Payne 3. They spent a great deal of time with the voice and motion capture artists to make sure everything was done right. First and foremost of importance was to get James McCaffrey, the original Max Payne, back in the saddle. The script for Max Payne 3 was longer than either of the first two games, and the McCaffrey spent around 50 hours in the voice booth to get Max’s narration and dialogue right. As one of the defining features of the game, it was important to get this part right, and it showed in the final project.
The game also made extensive use of Rockstar’s Long Island motion capture facility, one of the finest in the world. This allowed animators to get very realistic and natural movements for the characters. Elaborate sets were built to mimic the scenes in the game to provide the actors the most comfortable settings for their capture sessions. The actors spent many hours, making sure all movement was natural and flowed well.
Given that a large portion of the game takes place in Brazil, Rockstar took their own trip to the southern hemisphere to look for voice and motion talent. Rockstar’s Director of Audio Content led a team of sound engineers in recruiting and then recording over ten thousand lines of audible dialogue to give Max Payne 3 an authentic Brazil feel. Local celebrities like Zumba Treze and São Paulo rapper Tiago RedNiggaz participated in the recording.
Multiplayer was a whole separate beast. A different team looked for actors to fill the many, many roles in the multiplayer, along with a huge and varied wardrobe. Once the actors were dressed, they were scanned into the system, a process that would take thirty minutes to complete as each part of the body was captured individually. If the model moved or blinked at the wrong time, the process would have to start over. These scans became the basis for the multiplayer characters. Check out the slideshow below for more details on the creation process for this fantastic game.
My interest has been perked
ok, so i was watching the trailer for the new max payne movie with Mark Wahlberg and all i can say is, “What the Hell?!” If you’ve seen the trailer and played the original video game you might understand. But can someone please explain to me why there are these winged creatures flying around? This is an action game not a fantasy. Why are these guys in the movie?
I have Max Payne, and I’m trying to use cheats for it, but the websites I check say to go into properties of the desktop icon and add ” – developer” or ” – developerkeys”. I’ve tried that, but when I go to load the game, it says the target is invalid as no such save file exists. So what is the exact way of getting into the develop console? Please be very specific, e.g. [space]developer[space]-[space]keys.
I’ve never played diablo and my laptop has a core i5 processor. I like the look of max Payne and I enjoy that genre along with ghost recon. I can’t decide!!
During the credits of the Max Payne movie, there is a song with no lyrics. Its the last one to play before the scene after the credits roll. Not one person has been able to identify it in any way. Its not Rock, its not Metal, its an orchestrated piece with a piano starting it off.
I was able to find it under the Amazon link. Dark Heaven, that’s the name of it. Thanks a lot.
Need some help. Got money for my birthday, and there’s nothing I really want. I haven’t played on my PS3 since L.A. Noire, but feel like I should make more use of it, so want to get a new game. Don’t wanna get something that isn’t worth it though.
Kinda behind on the gaming scene, so here’s the ones I’d like;
Max Payne 3
The Amazing Spiderman
Assassins Creed Revelations
Arkham City
Which one?

I found an online forum about theatre lighting, sound, and other behind the scenes stuff. I can’t remember the name of it. I have already googled it and I cant find it… The only thing I remember about it was their slogan went something like “Where behind the scenes is the main event” or something similar to that.
they said at the end we could watch behind the scenes stuff on their facebook page or website, but it’s not on either.

I would really like to play max Payne 3, but I don’t want to ruin it or anything because I haven’t played the first 2, I’m just wondering if I need to play them. And on a side note, are either of the first 2 games out on Playstation 3?
I am currently playing Max Payne 2 and had a question about saving games. Whenever I want to save a game I always have to stop my game and go back to the full menu to save the game so far. I was wondering what the keyboard shortcut is to save the game without interrupting my game and having to press ‘back’ to go to the full menu and press ‘save’.
Thank you very much.

The stories go something like this: he/she likes blah when it is something you really dislike. He/she hates blah when it is something liked.
People who like you, but don’t know you well will try to please by adopting the many blahs that were told to them. People who like you use this as a way of being accepted by you and think they are being friendly and making you happy.
It is like rough sandpaper on silk.
Do you recognise this? What’s gone on behind the scenes in your life?
Expiration of question extended.
