Max Payne returns in March Sep 8th 2011, 15:22 It's been eight years since Max Payne 2 hit stores, but Rockstar Games' rough-around-the-edges New York City cop is about ready to hit the streets again. Rockstar today announced that Max Payne 3 is expected to launch next March on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC in North America and Europe. Max is haunted by a traumatic past. And a botched theatrical adaptation starring Mark Wahlberg. Max Payne 3 is in the works at Rockstar Games' Vancouver studio, which took over development reins from Finnish shop Remedy (Alan Wake). The game will catch up with the now-former cop, who has spent the time since Max Payne 2 running from his troubled past. That has led him to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where he works as a private bodyguard for a wealthy family. Payne will fulfill his duties with a healthy helping of the series' signature bullet-time gameplay mechanic, in which the player slows the world to a crawl and Max acrobatically leaps into action, firing twin pistols at anyone in range. That's not the only way to play, as Rockstar is supplementing that approach with a variety of weaponry and a cover system. Rockstar is also incorporating multiplayer into the series for the first time with Max Payne 3. The publisher has said it will feature "traditional" multiplayer game modes with full-featured support for character progression, clans, and load-out options. Originally hinted at in 2004, Max Payne 3 was formally announced in March of 2009 and set for release that winter. It was then pushed to the following summer, and then the fall. When Take-Two delayed the game for the third time in less than a year, executives refused to even confirm in which fiscal year it was expecting the game to launch.

viedogame: Sony Asia and Nanyang Polytechnic to continue game design partnership

Sony Asia and Nanyang Polytechnic to continue game design partnership Sep 8th 2011, 04:33 By Jonathan Leo Toyad, GameSpot AsiaPosted Sep 7, 2011 9:33 pm PT Publisher and school sign new five-year MOU to make PS3 and PS Vita titles thanks to outcome of Games Resource Centre. Back in 2010, Sony Computer Entertainment Asia collaborated with Nanyang Polytechnic Singapore to launch the School of Interactive & Digital Media PlayStation Development Community that allowed students from the school to use PlayStation development kits to create their own games for school projects. In lieu of this partnership, SCEA decided to further their partnership with the school with a five-year Memorandum of Understanding. This will enable students to continue developing games as final year projects using the development kit which, at this point in time, is still the only PlayStation development and training centre in South-East Asia. This also allows them to gain access to tools to make games for the upcoming portable PlayStation Vita. According to Sony Computer Entertainment Asia's president Tetsuhiko Yasuda, the reason for this continued partnership is because SCEA wishes to train more developers and help contribute to Singapore's video game industry via Sony-sanctioned development kits. NYP students will get a good feel of the Vita's innards. The two notable titles that benefit from this partnership are PhaseShift: Threat Beyond the Network and Spell Weaver (working title). The former is a 2D shooter by Dark Potato Studios and is the brainchild of Hoong Boon Wai. The latter is a 2D platformer with emphasis on seven-word spelling developed by Red Hare Studio. PhaseShift has yet to settle on an official release date due to the game still being a prototype, while Spell Weaver is slated for a 2012 release on the PlayStation Network.
