I'm guessing most of you have seen the new GTA V trailers by now, if not, I'll add a link below so you can check them out. One for each of the main protagonists, each of them interesting in their own way. Rockstars games always have great story telling, but in my view Red Dead Redemption stepped it up a notch from GTA IV, and Max Payne 3 stepped it up a notch from RDR. Looking at the trailers it seems that GTA V will once again take a step up. The great humor and the mix of all your favourite crime directors small touches all in one game.

It will be interesting to see more details from the game, and hopefully the gameplay mechanics are even more polished, Max Payne 3 worked nicely, but I always felt GTA IV was a tad clumsier especially on foot. Also gonna be interesting to hear details around the multiplayer, and if they will have a PC release at some point. Feel free to give us your thoughts in the comments after checking out the trailers.

One of our readers, named "clankill3r", contacted us with a request to support his project. The project is called Double Action, a multiplayer action game inspired by action movies like those made by John Whoo. Thus the game shares many similarities with Max Payne, since Hong Kong movies served as source material for the very first Max Payne. To finish the first version of the game, codenamed "Boogaloo", the developers need some help funding. They currently accumulated 1085 dollars of their 18000 dollar goal. Quite a budget if you ask me, but the game will be entirely free to play!

Edge Online has a feature on the making of Max Payne with people from Remedy that developed Max Payne 1 & 2. It's a good read, check it out over at Edge Online. I suspect it's old since it talks about the movie with Mark Wahlberg, but interesting anyway if you haven't read it before.

Our friend AJ over at Rockstar Nexus tipped us about a possible Max Payne 3 port for OSX, indicated by database entries in Steam which have revealed similar connections earlier. I'm sure the Mac'ers need some Payne too, time will show if they'll get it, we'll keep you updated.

So a delay of about a quarter, not uncommon from R* as they don't release anything unpolished. This release date should be all set though, so we're set for another classic R* game this fall, maybe the best one yet? I certainly have my hopes up thinking about the greatness of RDR and Max Payne 3, the constant improvements in everything in the games.

Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the release.

Happy 2013!
