Despite some criticism I liked most of its new features, like the Last Stand, the new shootdodges, the limited inventory etc, so my immediate thought was to put them in my loved MP2. The things I like more are the graphics, the details of every setting and the incredible physics, Euphoria engine is really the next step in the evolution of videogames IMHO. Some things were lost but others were so much better.
When MP3 was released, and despite the obvious differences from the previous games caused by the different developer it had a lot of things that made me feel almost like 10 years ago. But the point is that everything always had to FIT in the base game, not revolutionize it, because it was already the best game I’ve ever played and the only thing I always wanted was to improve it as much as I could. “I try to stay true to the original games, no extra magic, ninjas, kungfu or superpowers, just an awesome piece of art slightly improved with little features, well some of them a lot bigger than others.
What Drives you to Mod and what do you bring to your creations that make them special? With new models, weapons, animations, graphic effects, sounds, particles, and so on this mod will improve your good old Max Payne 2 to make it shine again in the next generation gaming. The aim of this mod is to combine some of the best features of Max Payne 3 with the unique style and feeling of Max Payne 2. I’ve even left a lot of newer games temporarily unfinished just to have more time to finish my mods, I loved to spend hours reading a txt filled with scripts a lot more than playing games like CoD4 or Half-Life 2.” This mod will evolve your Max Payne 2 experience to a whole new level, one step closer to its successor Max Payne 3. Modding them was simply the marriage between the two thing that I loved most. I’ve played both games so many times that I perfectly know every little detail, I even know every piece of speech, both in english and in italian. These games combined my love for slowmotion hardboiled action with an awesome narration, a unique noir feeling mixed with humor, and the voiceovers were the icing on the cake.
I made a lot of personal mods for MP1, and even more for MP2. I had a 56k internet connection at the time and I spent entire days downloading little mods for MP1, just to unpack and analize them with the mod tools included in the MP1 disk. So imagine how I felt when I discovered that MP1 was even an easily moddable game. The natural consequence was that I immediately watched movies like Matrix and Hard Boiled a dozen of times. The bullettime action mixed with the hardboiled cop was addictive to watch.
” I bought Max Payne 1 a couple of years after its release, even if I had a very bad pc it immediately stunned me, I perfectly remember the first time I pressed the ShootDodge key. I was speechless, my 14 years old eyes had never seen anything cooler untill then, this series amazed me from the very first moment of gameplay. When did Max Payne come into the picture? I was amazed by this thing, I put countless of hours creating my own skins, then I discovered the GTA modding sites and their tutorial, and in a couple of months I was playing a completely new game, exactly the game I wanted.”
I got my start when playing GTA3 for pc and it had the custom skin selection, you just had to use Paint on a template and you were already putting something yours in the game. The first thing I wanted to know was when he got started, what drove him and where he’s going! Not every question I asked is here, but the answers have some them covered. I asked a series of questions, and I got some real answers to them. Why you ask? Because I like Max Payne 2 & 3, and it seemed like a daunting project to convert some of the ways MP3 looks and feels into MP2. So I was really curious to learn more. I recently reached out to The silver just before the Holidays to learn more about him and his project. It looks like he’s been putting a lot of effort into making a very nice conversion of MP2 to look and feel like Max Payne 3 to an extent. A mod for Max Payne 2? Yes, Max Payne 2 has a new mod has just been completed on January 1st 2014. It’s creator is a user in the MOD DB community that goes by the handle The_Silver.
