Ray traced lighting, man. I often feel like I can do without its beastly hits to performance in my games, but then I'll see a transformative use of it that makes me want to slam that "RTX on" button. Modder Slasks Psybunker's demo for ray tracing in the original Max Payne (first
Max Payne and Alan Wake voice actor James McCaffrey has died after a battle with cancer, according to a TMZ report. He was 65... Read more.
Alan Wake 2 is Remedy's big project of the moment, but it's far from the only thing the studio is working on. Today, as part of its most recent financial report , the company shared a look at how its other projects, including a sequel to Control and remakes of the first two Max P
The great philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein once said that the face is the soul of the body, which, upon reflection, doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. Surely the soul is the soul of the body, hence why it's called 'the soul'. That'll teach me to start off writing articles by googl
It's hard to believe but Max Payne , the neo-noir shooter that gave us bullet time, madly over-the-top dialog, and one of the most enduringly famous scowls in all of videogames, is now 20 years old. To celebrate the big birthday, Remedy creative director Sam Lake and Max Payne vo
It's Max Payne's 20th anniversary today, so we're re-running this article from last year about why it's such an enduring classic. .. Read more.
As a Max Payne 2 fan, the opening chords of Late Goodbye by Finnish band Poets of the Fall always give me a shiver of nostalgia. The atmospheric song plays over the end credits, but has always felt like the game’s theme to me. When I think about Max Payne 2, I think of that acous
This weekend, we've asked the PC Gamer writers about the upcoming games that have made them the most excited over the years, sometimes from reading ancient issues of our own magazine. You'll find a mix of old and new games in here, and we'd love to hear your choices in the commen
Great moments in PC gaming are short, bite-sized celebrations of some of our favorite gaming memories. Can a man's face be a moment? This one can. It's a photograph wrapped around a low-poly head to represent the angst-ridden gunslinger Max Payne. It's a picture of Remedy writer
Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment has been around for more than 20 years. In that time, it's managed to release Max Payne and a sequel; Alan Wake and a sequel; and, earlier this year, Quantum Break . (There's also its first game, Death Rally, which it remade in 2011, but nobody
Surreal stages, events, or gameplay that somehow just don't fit have always been present, and even expected. Their crazy graphics, weird aesthetics and ideas make sure that we have absolutely no idea what's going on. But they have their charm, they are funny, or they're simply pa
When it comes to deciding what game gets my attention and why, I am absolutely ruthless. I don't care how much better it's going to get, I don't care that it's actually an amazing game and I just have to give it a chance. No. If you mess up in the first hour of a game, I'm done.
The band HEALTH's killer Max Payne 3 soundtrack was easily one of the best of last year , and a chunk of the reason Max Payne 3 was among my personal top games of 2012 . This video from The Creators Project shows the band talking about the process of scoring the game, focusing on
I can't tell you how many hours I've lost in Max Payne 3 doing exactly what YouTube user birgirpall is doing here. Poor Max. There he was, brooding and going on about not saving the girl and what is my butt doing? Trying to do 'trick shots' with his body. Can I clear this gap? Ca
You press a button, and the beat drops. Forward you fly, straight into the perilous unknown, beats pushing against your eardrums as you push back against the controller. Tempo and harmony swim together, and you lose yourself in the rhythm of play. 2012 has been a fine year for vi
The litter was calling me, like granulated pieces of my broken past. But pooping on the floor was all I had left. They'd taken everything else from me, that night my world came crashing down. A knife in the dark, a cold table. My manhood, gone, along with the rest of the garbage.
Games take us to all manner of fantastical, unlikely places. But as good as video games have gotten at accurately recreating a space-marine shootout or a mountaintop dragon battle, there's one thing developers are still learning how to create: A dance club. Many games try to crea
Taking a page from LA Noire's case notes, Rockstar's Max Payne 3 will on August 28 be adding something called "Noir Mode", which is a tidy term for "playing the game in black & white". It fits with the game's noir overtones, I guess, but given so much of Max Payne 3 is spent
This video starts off slow, showing you just how depressed and lifeless poor Max is, but it really picks up once some of Max's, um, "friends" come around. Max Payne's life might be full of misery, but at least the special effects are pretty awesome. Max Payne: Bloodbath
