Actually I believe Sam Lake didn't actually want to be Max Payne, but due to the limited budget and some coaxing from coworkers he decided to just go ahead and do that, too.
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...

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.
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 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

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.
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....
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
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 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.
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 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
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.
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
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.
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

@@JellyJman *Friends and Family of Sam Lake participated in the game; his Mother is the Evil Nicole Horne while his father is Inner Circle's Alfred Woden.*
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.
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 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.
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.

@@superdave354 no. Imo, that was one of the best quote from Max Payne.

yeah well that's like 20% of the job, maybe even less

its me or in the beta max kill vinnie? 4:39
Yeah max kill him
That music is spine chilling. I will never forget the first time I played Max Payne.

Whoever decides to dislike the video will burn in hell.
WHO WERE THOSE 2 DISLIKERS I CURSE YOU TO EAT MOLTEN PLASTIC CHEESE!
Thank you for the video NeoGamer! Absolutely marvellous! Happy to see that some people still care about classics. Long live the Max Payne franchise!
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."
It's like Raymand Chandler's ghost took over the writing during development.
It's kinda sad to discover Max's real ending as a easter egg in Alan Wake
@@soldierorsomething What, seriously?
I wish they release the unused graphic novel.
still some of my favourite games, max payne 1&2. we used to play them with the whole family. so many memories from such good old days
4:54 Oh boy did they miss the opportunity. "You want pain?! I'll give you pain, MAX PAIN"
This is amazing! Seeing how one of my Life games was made, that's fantastic!
Rest in peace James, this was my first mainstream game when I started working full time. I will never forget you.
Thank you for this.
*1:43** and there's Sam Lake as Max Payne and guess who is Vladimir Lem? No other than Poets of the Fall and Old Gods of Asgard's Marko Saaresto* ❤
Yoooooo
@@JellyJman *Friends and Family of Sam Lake participated in the game; his Mother is the Evil Nicole Horne while his father is Inner Circle's Alfred Woden.*
I just saw today that James McCaffrey had passed away. Man, that was so sad to see. For me the most iconic voice in gaming. RIP James❤️
A better Max Payne movie than the Mark Wahlberg one
Those items need to be better protected. My brother loved Max Payne. RIP bro
The actual guy who played Max Payne created it?! Wow
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.
Man... Just talking that gives me the chills... All of those gothic and nu metal bands and those sci-fi movies...
Such as Type O Negative...
I had no idea Sam Lake’s mom played the main villain 😂 that is so cool but also crazy
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.
When I Kids I Dont Know How To defeat boss in The end
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.
Sam Lake... Alan Wake... focal point being a Lake. There's a theme here. Its juts struck me. Remedy crew is full of geniuses.
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.
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 !!!
Все они были мертвы. Последний выстрел поставил жирную точку в этой истории. Я снял палец с курка - всё было кончено
Ну хоть один русский клиент
@@dinragz8428 «...клиент»?))00)0)))00))
And now... MP 1+2 remake.
I hope they have fun with this without Rockstar & T2 rushing them.
Alan Wake?! At the 2:11 mark.
Always will be max Payne for me. The other max Payne models in 2 and 3 are outstanding but the original will always be way more fun
Very cool to see such behind the scenes content! Inspiring!
Weee mi infancia 🥺🥺🥺 cuanto amé este juego,.cuanto amé su historia Noir, lo inconsciente que estuve de que este juego estaba adelantado para su época... No lo puedo superar, actualmente en 2024 acabo de terminar de pasarme el max Payne 1 🥲🥲🥲 un hermoso recuerdo que jamás decepciona y dan ganas de más,.ya tengo el max payne 2 y 3 para continuar esta hermosa saga ❤❤
