The best part is that was done unintentionally. They spent most of their budget on the character models, and didn't have much left for cutscenes, so that's why they decided to tell most of the story moments via graphic novels. Even better, the "Graphic Novels" weren't even drawn, they were normal photos of the cast that were then spruced up to look like drawings. It was cheap, and it was crude, and yet they somehow made it work into the legendary work of art it is remembered as.
@@Derah_OGhonestly it wouldn't have worked as well any other way. The graphic novel style slips in so well to the neo noir writing style. The absence of them is half the reason MP3 felt so off, not just the change of location.
I love how this feels like a horror game even more than just on the surface. At 9:01 it says someone saw Max leaving Roscoe Station even with no cops around meaning that at 5:46 someone was watching you from a distance. Could have just been a civilian but still Pretty creepy
Winterstorm ❄️, cold dark, mafia, drugs. So creepy atmosphere while you sitting at your PC in worm house and playing this masterpiece. Couldn't be better. ❤
I always find myself watching this over and over... I loved this game growing up. when I was like 9 my dad introduced me to this game and I was always scared to finish the game. now that they have it on the App Store I finally finished the game 11 years later LMAOOOO. I wish they would make more...
Max Payne is an amazing game. I remember when I played it back in the day, those graphic novels to tell the story were so poeticly written and unique and the voice-acting was good too🖋😃👌. An amazing way of story-telling in a noire game🌨🌃👏
I understood how dark, graphic and traumatic the game was only when I was 23. I used to play this game in my childhood, thinking, it was just a murder case, where the victim is Max's wife and children. Damn, what a haunting game.

You should take a break for the social media and their memes. Give it maybe 10 years and your unironic genuine nostalgia will be back. (I think it might be better to quit social media That's what I did).@@ultrixsoma2736
Great video Me being nitpicky: A good idea would have been to include the soundbites from in-game cut scenes. Examples "Michelle, honey, anybody home", (baby room) *lullaby playing* "no, no, please god no", and "oh god, oh no, please michelle; oh babe" Personal preference. Great video. Thank you.
"The truth was a burning green crack through my brain. Weapon statistics hanging in the air, glimpsed out of the corner of my eye. Endless repetition of the act of shooting, time slowing down to show off my moves. The paranoid feel of someone controlling my every step. "I was in a computer game. Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I could think of."
@@stickman7284 I think originally it appears in a cut scene. (like some other pieces) If you watch the graphic novel again later this part appears in there.
Bet nobody knows Alan Wake and his wife Alice Wake lives in the building right nextdoor to max Paynes police HQ connecting them together with Quantum break and Control but you won't really understand the connection until Control oh and max Paynes name is ( you'll have to research who max is in Control.
The graphic novels in Max Payne 1 are great. I recently played Max Payne 3... great shooting mechanics... but the story is really bad. Max's dialogue in the third game betrays a lack of original thought.
@MuseBySecrecy nah. The gameplay is really good, but the story lacks some execution. The outline of the plot itself is good, just gets really convoluted and the 'everyone at the start was involved somehow' trope doesn't always work the best.
Actually, Vlad is not a Vladimir. Vlad is Vladislav. Vladimir is Vova or Vovan. 1:04/🇷🇺 Все они были мертвы. Последний выстрел поставил жирную точку в этой истории. Я снял палец с курка. Всё было кончено 59:55 и победителей было двое. Thank you for Vladimir and vodka.
I can't remember this game anymore I played this on gay station one didn't like the game back then but I will play it again if I could can't get this on xbox digital anymore
@Fuck UA-cam oceans of games what's that will it allow me to download to my xbox or is it a Budget site with knock off games made in a basement somewhere
Rest in peace, James.
Max Payne passed away today. Rest in peace and thank you.
the decision to tell the story using graphic novel instead of traditional cut scenes was truly epic

Sad that we won't hear his voice in a game again. Rip.

It was probably BB.
BB was the reason. idiotic how they didn't see his Rolex before this. idiotic idiocy
how the fuck did hollywood fuck this one up?
It was that cocksucker BB
Thanks for the smart observation 👍
Best voice actor and music for such a grimey story the Cold streets to max Paynes burning heat
He's voice match the game

Did you play 2 and 3?
I'm addicted to the story as well! Always coming back, after some time, to rewatch the comics of Max Payne 1 and 2... they feel early real...
I can hear his voice for hours and hours, rip James
23:05 Oh shit! No wonder twitter wants to cancel that guy. He is deranged!
RIP MAX PAYNE YOU WILL BE MISSED
THEY JUST ANNOUCED A REMAKE OF 1 AND 2
I can only hope they keep the audio the same (voice acting and comic strips) and update the engine.
That's a remaster
FINALLY!! I'd like to play the remaster since it should have that cover system which is really important in shootouts
The voice actor just passed away.
@@BarkaDog no way!!
16:53 I really love the voice acting in this scene
Max Payne is an amazing game. I remember when I played it back in the day, those graphic novels to tell the story were so poeticly written and unique and the voice-acting was good too🖋😃👌. An amazing way of story-telling in a noire game🌨🌃👏
rest in peace legend
The best game ever I've played in my life .
Jep
R.i.p to the best one of the great voice actors of our time.
i'm listening to this for sleep
Damn this is awesome this should be made into a book
Absolutely.

Good work
*The sun went down with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding*
*The feeling hit me like point-blank shot straight in the face. Something was not right about this-*
*My beretta stirred nervously under my coat, but the train doors had already shut behind me, and I was in for the ride. Next stop: Roscoe street station, and alex.*
*Down below, New York city glittered like diamonds on black velvet*
*He was trying to buy more sand with his hourglass. I wasn’t selling any.*
Out in the night, snow fell like confetti over the devil’s parade.
Damn, I start watching this initially just for nostalgia and its so engrossing I watched the entire thing.
sigma community be forgetting about max payne
I hope they don't find out about it, they ruined American Psycho for me.

The gameplay is one thing. This storyboard is a masterpiece and word up to Sam Lake for coming up with this idea.
If they make remake with these nobels would be mind-blowing
Very good

17:42 how to get this page?
I don't remember this being in the game.
You mean the letter? Some of the sequences are optional, you have to interact with an item. In this case, the letter on Gognitti's desk.
@@solacesix No, I’m talking about where Vinnie gets away from Max at 17:41 or 17:42.
I think that one is not missable, but can't be sure.
@@solacesix I mean the graphic novel page where Vinny Gognitti runs from Max.17:41

I never seen the full cutscenes as a whole.
Is the BGM in sync as an entire video and not separate for each cutscene?
There's an option in the menu ingame to retrigger all cutscenes from the beginning, hence the single music stream.
They should have made the film follow this sequence. Do not why they had to fuck it up
The graphic novels in Max Payne 1 are great. I recently played Max Payne 3... great shooting mechanics... but the story is really bad. Max's dialogue in the third game betrays a lack of original thought.
You’re dead wrong about Max Payne 3.

is this the payneeee residence?
How am I present in the story
