Only played Max Payne 1 at the time, amazing game.
But tbh, I think it'll be extremely meh in this day and age and it'll probably have to rely on nostalgia to wow people.

Third one doesn't really need a remake, it still looks decent and play like a dream.

It needs to be on current gen consoles running 60fps.

Pc version is dirty cheap and it probably run better than an half assed nextgen port.
You can probably play the damn thing in 8k240 fps.

i can't wait for these remakes, new york looks so atmospheric in alan wake 2 i can only imagine what max payne is going to look like. hopefully they will also nail the gunplay, it's going to be difficult to top max payne 3.
also once they are done they better start working on max payne 4 right after

Not on the Xbox unfortunately.
Just bought it recently. Great fun, but hampered with a very low resolution and frame rate. And as we are all well aware, loaded with long and unskippable cut scenes!
A few tweaks to the config would do it!

I'm hoping they go beyond just slow mo dives and have many other time altering abilities similar to Quantum Break.

Really couldn't care less about story in this game. I just want the best possible TPS.

Yes. There is nothing archaic on the gameplay.

Then go play other games or new IP, this is a remake of a classic game and story. The story/tone is at least 50% of these games' pull.

The idea that you think my comment has an influence on the game is pretty ridiculous lol. I'll play this game because I'm really into Remedy again (specifically after playing Quantum Break). That game honestly is the closest thing Remedy has made to Max Payne because it's an action TPS, and it employs a lot of time slow down.
I think any remake should try and include new gameplay elements to keep things interesting rather than just regurgitate the exact same thing. There's lots of ways to incorporate abilities without it being a superhero story. Max Payne doesn't have any super hero time powers but still basically freezes time whenever he jumps. They can think of other gameplay oriented ways to enhance shooting.

Just don't screw them up. These will be ruined if they sanitize Max too much, don't fear the M17 guys, nobody cares about that.

Since he's playing Alex Casey in AW2, and Casey basically is Max Payne, it would make a lot of sense for him to play him again as well.

I don't mind new gameplay elements as long as it doesn't involve anything that breaks canon / the rules of the established universe.
I will say though, despite how many people liked 3 I really did not like what they did the gameplay. Max Payne 1 and 2 were more fluid feeling.
