I feel a lot of affection for this video. It’s a real window into how the video game industry was in 2001 before it became such a huge conglomerate. A handful of dudes who are close friends sharing a vision, and working together and having lots of fun and laughing. You rarely see this behind video game production now. It’s so sterile and cold-just imagine an Ubisoft warehouse filled with people sitting at computers silently crunching out a product to meet a deadline. There’s little love or affection. I firmly believe that a work of art produced with lots of love and affection will be transferred into the art itself, and into the consumer.
Cyberpunk2077's deception just proves that Corporations lack the love and talent in making their games. It is time for us to look forth towards indie devs.
Oh boy, the nostalgia... Thank you Remedy for such incredible experience such as Max Payne, I will always carry in my heart the beautiful memories of those old days... Too many emotions...
This is during a time people actually cared about making a completed game, it was made with love and passion for gamers, truly reflects the work of perfection Max Payne was.

Nowadays companies like EA don't give a shit about a feedback from open-beta.. all they care about is their share price and their investors.. they have a deadline and no matter in which state the game is they still release it.
Some games only care about money or make games only for graphics so graphic bois can rate it 10/10 just for the graphics I hate the new Era. The old games actually wanted people to enjoy their games and they updated it to make it more enjoyable like splinter cell chaos theory , roblox and minecraft
Many of today's games take even longer to develop. It was a small team, and they were developing the engine in-house as well. Max Payne 2 then only took them 18 months.
@@YellowSabre Yes, I know, but... I used to play a lot back in the mid 2000's, I would probably see this old footage of the production since I was really addicted to Max Payne, see?That's why I am so surprised with this video
I don’t think the excellence of Max payne nor the impact it had on the industry as a whole could be explained to anyone who didn’t experience this game new at that time. The graphics, the gameplay the setting the story and the grittiness was so next level at that time. Personally, I throughly enjoyed the entire trilogy.
I was 16 years old when Max Payne was released. Played it to death. In my opinion this is one of the greatest PC games ever made. I really miss those days, they don't make this kind of games anymore. Newer games do not have the same feel or impact. Maybe it is just us getting old, I don't know.
I still distinctly remember, the shopkeeper asked me - "Do you have 128 Megabyte Ram kiddo?" I said No. Then he asked - "It needs 32 Megabyte 3D Accelerator Card, do you have it?" I said No... Then the shopkeeper turned his face away from me saying nothing. I don't blame him for that. Then some months later I purchased 16 MB Video Card and 64 MB RAM to play the game. Now here we are Today... Compared to that Spec, we are running NASA Computers. But still... Those Good Old Days Were GREAT!
I was so frustrated to have 64mb of vram (integrated intel igpu) that wasn't been able to run any game that required at least 128mb of vram.. during the times of a release date of max payne 1 i didn't have a pc at all, i used to visit my relatives that had a PC and spent half day there playing gta vice city, max payne1,2, harry potter etc.. i remember thinking about the experience i had the next week ahead and discussing it with other pupils in school. Today i have 5820k and gtx 1070 with 8gb vram and feel so spoiled being able to play any game i want on ultra, back then i didn't care to run a game at 30fps, 10-20fps on low would've been enough.. in 2008-2012 all i wanted is medium or high settings and stable 30fps, now its 1080p-4k at 60fps minimum lol

Many thanks for uploading, played this game way back in 2001 and still I watch it from time to time these days, it was truly a disruption in the gaming sector. Memories.... Nostalgia....
"You want Payne Get Pain" - "In the Land of the Blinds the one eye man is the King" - "Finito Finitos" the finito brothers - "I don't know about Angels but fear is that give men wings"..
I still remember the first time I played the game and how I felt when it came out. I enjoyed the game so much that I couldnt quit until the very end. It has a special place in my heart. Surely, one of the best games ever made.
@@ammagon4519 the first game they had a low budget so he used family members , interns and staff members as character models then the the second game when they got the budget they needed they used actual professional models
The fact they turned that chunky crosshair into just single dot was really nice too I think. It's the game where aiming feels the best in to me, and always has. It's just so damned nice and easy.
I loved this game so much back then when i had my ps2. This game really had it all, from gameplay to drama to great story telling. This game also came out early in the ps2 life cycle and i think it pushed games forward when it came to story telling. I just finished beating this game on iOS and it brought back so many memories in the hours and the amount of time i kept playing this game back in the day. This game is truly a timeless classic.
From watching behind the scenes footage like this, I realize why newer games don't get me excited anymore. There's just nothing like this level of dedication and passion for gaming projects anymore. I'll just keep replaying Max Payne, Elder Scrolls 3, GTA Vice City, MSG Snake Eater until they do.
Still the best game for me after all those years. I replay it at least once a year. Thank you so much Remedy. I wish you did Max Payne 3, it could have been much better.
Imagine being in someone's womb for 9+ months have her spend time and get pain give birth to you, and then have her play as the antagonist in a game you starred in... These actor arrangements is one of the reasons i love Max Payne 1, like Nicole Horne is played by Sam Lake's Mother Edit: I was today'm years old when I found out Alfred Woden is played by Sam Lake's Father
This game was global. I am in Southern Brazil and I started playing this game at age 10... Back in 2005. What mostly fascinates me about this piece of art is how it perfectly blends with the gothical era that were the 00's.
Hands down one of the best games i ever played in my school times and even in college as well.The story , the track , the physics of game, the way narrator speaks.Absolutely amazing game made.
I remember in an early interview when making Max Payne, two of the dev guys did went to the most dangerous part of NY protected by a retired NY Officer as their bodyguard, as he know the way around that area and the thugs there know him. Think they mentioned that guy have to show his gun around a bit to scare off some muggers
Max my Hero.."they were all dead. the final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. i released my finger from the trigger. and then it was over."
One of my all-time favorite game. I played this from start to end 1000s of times! I love everything about it, its art, its characters, the story, the atmosphere I mean everything! I look like a big fan boi
Yeah, it is. I think more fantastical enemy types were common in games at that time. This enemy looks like something straight out of Quake. They obviously opted for a more realistic direction later down the road, which most definitely was the right choice. Seeing such hulking enemies would've seemed goofy and out of place in the final product.
And there is deep 6 written in a wall as well I guess they could have written that deep 6 project valhala has also created monsters with the help of valkyre
I’m so glad they made the game real and gritty and not silly and cartoonish with the huge characters like in the beta photos. One of the best games of all time.
I played Max Payne 2 million times when I was younger, but only now am I for the first time playing Max Payne 1, and oh boy I am having a blast just like I did when I played MP2 back in the day, so you can be sure that it is not "only" nostalgia, but this game is actually amazing even today!
Really awesome the fact that, Sam Lake's likeness was only used in the first game, but he remained the eternal face of Max Payne! If a fourth installment ever comes to light, they must reuse him!
Hmm, so the beta had no shootdodge or bullettime, maybe and definitely bigger bulky enemied? It would be amazing if they did all of that during the final year of development. That could have been the difference between a forgotten shooter and the genre defining one it became
I can’t wait for the remake of the trilogy. Shout outs to all my MP3 fans. I know it was much weaker than the first 2 entries but I love it all the same. More Max is NEVER a bad thing. Ever.
![Making of - Alan Wake 2 [Behind the Scenes]](/img/n.gif)
I like how Sam Lake is not only the producer, writer, director of Max Payne he IS max payne
James McCaffery is Max Payne as well he's the voice of Max through all three games.

As a kid i always loved it for the detailed gun animations and sounds... damm i was a gun nut even then!
Max: “He was trying to buy more sand for his hour glass. I wasn't selling any.”
God, the dialogue was brilliant in this game
The quotes from this franchise are the best from any game. Nothing matches them.
Zee Sunoo are you referencing Prince of Persia?
@@superdave354 no. Imo, that was one of the best quote from Max Payne.

It's kinda sad to discover Max's real ending as a easter egg in Alan Wake
@@soldierorsomething What, seriously?
Rest in Peace James McCaffery
One of my all-time favorite game. I played this from start to end 1000s of times! I love everything about it, its art, its characters, the story, the atmosphere I mean everything! I look like a big fan boi
THE FLESH OF FALLEN ANGELS!
shE haS dyeD heR haiR reD
Lupino was crazy all right...
THE MR. BEAST!!!
Max looks more like Johnny Knoxville here
no. Johnny Knoxville actually looks like Max Payne
or robbie williams?
That gorilla at 4:32 is so weird to see in a Max Payne game
Yeah, it is. I think more fantastical enemy types were common in games at that time. This enemy looks like something straight out of Quake. They obviously opted for a more realistic direction later down the road, which most definitely was the right choice. Seeing such hulking enemies would've seemed goofy and out of place in the final product.
it didn't make it to the final game.
Would be made a great Easter egg
@@papuanine4729 i wonder what Jesus would say about that tho
And there is deep 6 written in a wall as well I guess they could have written that deep 6 project valhala has also created monsters with the help of valkyre
Thank you for posting this. This game is monumental to the genre and ground breaking for it's time. Can't wait for a remake!
Man Max Payne 3 was the toping of this Pain Killer Cake ...love the series ,love the channel
Thank you for this.
I’m so glad they made the game real and gritty and not silly and cartoonish with the huge characters like in the beta photos. One of the best games of all time.
This is amazing! Seeing how one of my Life games was made, that's fantastic!
I played Max Payne 2 million times when I was younger, but only now am I for the first time playing Max Payne 1, and oh boy I am having a blast just like I did when I played MP2 back in the day, so you can be sure that it is not "only" nostalgia, but this game is actually amazing even today!
You know you are getting old when you just remember when these videos came out!
time fly so freaking fast, such a good memories
My favourite game and game developer
4:54 Oh boy did they miss the opportunity. "You want pain?! I'll give you pain, MAX PAIN"
Max Payne one of the best games.
Max Payne 1 and 2 gave me one of the most memorable gaming experiences in my life. The gritty world and voiceacting is so insanely good
Half Life, Deus Ex, Max Payne ..... man this times
As a 16 year old playing this game on a CRT monitor in a Pentium 2 PC during early 2000 was real happiness in life for me!
Those items need to be better protected. My brother loved Max Payne. RIP bro
3 years later and I see that no one mentioned the fact that Nicole horn is Sam Lake's mother my mind is blown that is so awesome
Very cool to see such behind the scenes content! Inspiring!
The final gunshot was an exclamation point to whatever had happened, I release my finger from the trigger and then it was over.
No im not crying
"Not so fast. The password... John who"
"Come on... alright... John Woo"
667, the neighbor of the beast!
Old days😟😟😔😔🥺🥺
Max was one of the best games in the history of the game industry, and Max made me a gamer, really great, except for the third part !!!
Really awesome the fact that, Sam Lake's likeness was only used in the first game, but he remained the eternal face of Max Payne! If a fourth installment ever comes to light, they must reuse him!
"It's Payne, get him!"
Producer, writer, directer ... And motion capture character! Damn ... This guy cover all position! Respected!
Hmm, so the beta had no shootdodge or bullettime, maybe and definitely bigger bulky enemied? It would be amazing if they did all of that during the final year of development. That could have been the difference between a forgotten shooter and the genre defining one it became
I had no idea Sam Lake’s mom played the main villain 😂 that is so cool but also crazy
Literally one of the best games ever made. -at the beginning - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
This game was at least a decade ahead of its time.
I can’t wait for the remake of the trilogy. Shout outs to all my MP3 fans. I know it was much weaker than the first 2 entries but I love it all the same. More Max is NEVER a bad thing. Ever.
I will always remember the graphic novel and the story and the dark soundtrack it holds a special place in my heart
