Hopefully they will have a normal lobby with matchmaking instead of the freeroaming system they had in Red Dead Redemption.

Blame the people which want multiplayer in every goddamn game. I'm sick hearing this shit - ''No mp/co-op, no buy''.

Why? Max Payne has always been a ballsy, high intensity action game. It should make the transition to multiplayer pretty easily, I think.

RDR and GTA's MP had the novelty of an open world at least, not sure how well this is going to fair tbh. probably end up as a throwaway experience. no staying power... but the single player looks decent so who cares.

Sure, but GTA has awful, awful controls (hey, I actually like GTA4 a lot, but lets be honest). The most fun I ever had with GTA4's MP was just messing around in the sandbox with people. If they nail the action game aspect of this game I think it holds more promise for MP than those games did.

You guys are forgetting one important thing which is Bullet Time.

How will Bullet Time be implemented in Multiplayer. I still don't think it's possible.

Hope it plays like FEAR Combat, they got the slow mo, destruction stuff right.

GTA4's MP on PC was pretty good though

Expect it to be like Stranglehold's MP i.e. a mess.

here is a solution: don't play the multiplayer.

I'm not sure why people are so quick to write it off. This game looks a helluva lot better than Stranglehold, and I have no reason to suspect that the MP won't be better too.

Every game does not need MP, but it sorta fits here.

Is it really any worse than the masses demanding SP in every game? See: Unreal Tournament 3; Battlefield 3, etc.

What's up?

GriftGFX But I'd be too torn between Surface Pro and the Lenovo Y500 as a replacement, and they're like exact opposites. (40 minutes ago)
GriftGFX I guess it depends on the make and stuff. I have been considering pawning my old laptop on ebay. (41 minutes ago)
Moonwalker Oh and my bad, i have this laptop for three years now. (45 minutes ago)
Moonwalker for this Sony Vaio from them. I'm not even sure that's a very good price...is it? (47 minutes ago)
Moonwalker @GriftGFX: Well i never game on my laptop, so that should be ok. I do watch gamevideos in HD now and then when they come out. I do want an improvement over what i have now. Basically i get 150 euros (48 minutes ago)
GriftGFX It's a slightly better CPU. Not sure how good/bad the 5470 was, but Intel HD 4000 is pretty unremarkable. For general purpose stuff I'm sure it's fine. (50 minutes ago)
Megido @Sath: I'm not talking about download time, i understand that downloading it takes time, i'm talking about the INSTALL that you have to do after it's downloaded. (54 minutes ago)
