Remedy Entertainment has announced it is developing a remake of Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne in a development agreement with Rockstar Games.
The remakes will be released as a single title called Max Payne 1&2 and are in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC using the proprietary Northlight game engine. Rockstar Games will finance the remakes that will be a "typical Remedy AAA-game production."
"We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” said Rockstar Games founder Sam Houser. "We are massive fans of the work the Remedy team has created over the years, and we can’t wait to play these new versions."
Remedy Entertainment CEO Tero Virtala added, "Max Payne has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy, and we know the millions of fans worldwide feel the same. We’re hugely excited to be working with our partners at Rockstar Games once again for the chance to bring the story, action and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games back to players in new ways."

The first one is a masterpiece. I hope they give you the option of having the original characters face, he had one facial expression the entire game and it was hilarious.
Remedy Entertainment (Original Devs) using the control engine should come out looking good.. im just so glad its not been outsourced to to the lowest bidder like the mobile phone developer that did GTA Trilogy.. but probably couple years away from playing it
From what I have heard, they're the closest to what a John Wick game would be. I'm definitively interested!
Fuck YES! These two are some of my favorite games of all time, specially the second one. Since the PS2 version of the second one looks so freaking ugly I always had to play the PC version which is not really my thing since I prefer consoles. These are GREAT news! I sincerely hope they don't drop the ball with this!
So on PC it's likely to use R launcher and also either be exclusive to EGS or R client, either way it's sounding like a huge pass for me.
I'd just want the remake without any extra clutter or crappy contracts, why is that so insanely hard to ask for these days?.
The first 3-D games to deal with the subject of constipation.
The first game hasn't aged that well and the second could use a new coat of paint, so I would welcome this if they do it right.
Gameplay-wise yeah, it's a third person shooter before cover-based systems were a thing but I still think it's a ton of fun. Specially since the story is so damn good which is a rarity for shooters in my view.
Fair point. I haven't played Splatoon but that kind of third person shooter seems to me like a pretty unique "flavor".
The gta trilogy weren't remakes.
You’re not missing much.
This is remedy, not rockstar. So every time a company announced a remake or remaster we gonna say let's hope they don't screw up like gta trilogy?
I don't know. Let's just say I like remedy and I'm confidence they will do a great job with the remake. I'm sure it wasn't remedy who did the gta trilogy remastered
I was replying to captain explosion. But yeah this will be a remake from remedy, gta trilogy were remastered from a mobile developer? It's different even though rockstar are publishing
Rockstar published GTA Trilogy remaster but didn’t develop the game in-house, same deal with the Max Payne remakes.
Yeah but these are remakes so it's kinda different wouldn't you say?
They can just port to next gen and call it a remaster. With remake it's like a completely new game
Preach!
