what actually happened to max payne?

With each Max Payne sequel, it seemed there was interest, but sales numbers told a different story. So what the hell happened to Max Payne after all these years?

Max Payne is proof that not all games require tons of sequels.

Max Payne got his revenge, and his closure. Making more games would do a disservice to his legacy

MP is not dead. The series are just now complete. Max literally walks off into the sunset and thats it.

[BumbleBee-xiyv]

I rather it stay an awesome series in our memories than to be brought back and bastardized for 'modern audiences'.

The multiplayer in Max Payne 3 was so unique. The way they made slow motion work was impressive

Man, leave Max alone.
Homie’s been through the trenches, let him live the rest of his on the coast.

I thought max Payne 3 was a good ending for the series

[josueveguilla]

Max Payne? AWESOME. That classic video game brings back so many happy memories.

[SlurpyPie]

It's a perfect trilogy. There's no need to continue it with more games especially since Max got the happy ending he deserved.

At least Remedy is remaking max payne 1 and 2.

Id argue that Control is very much in Max Payne's legacy.

Bullet time actually owes props to the film 'The Killer' by John Woo in 1989. Look it up

[brandonacamarena]

Max Payne 1 and 2 are under active development for a full blown remake by Remedy lol

[PCBToxin]

Max Payne now has some peace. Leave him be.

[ineedzemedic]

Max moved on. His legacy didnt end prematurely, he just got what he wanted. It is an end to his story. Walking him around like a dying dog will do a disservice to how it ended in 3. Let him rest, his story is over and hes in some beach right now smiling at the sun while drinking a soda.

Love or hate the story for the 3rd game, gameplay feel and Soundtrack were 100/10

[MrStickman]

Max payne 3 is criminally under rated imo

[DangOlJesse]

I just wanna play Max Payne 3 on modern hardware and for each loading screen to not take 17 1/5 hours. I don't even care if the graphics stay the same.

[LelloDalamiq]

TLDR: For Max, Yes. For Remedy, it's developers, no.
The gameplay formula for Max Payne moved into games like Quantum Break and Control, the latter being Remedy's continuation of the Payne gameplay loop in an SCP-meets-FBI setting.

Well James McCaffrey is dead now so I don't know much about Max Paynes future anymore
