Take 2 today reported it's second quarter fiscal 2010 financial results, revealing that Max Payne 3 has unfortunately been delayed again.

This is the third time the game has been delayed, with Rockstar continuing to concentrate its efforts on other franchises such as Grand Theft Auto and Red Dead Redemption. Initially given a "Fall 2009" release, the game was soon delayed until the "first half of 2010". Back in December Max Payne 3 was delayed for the second time and moved into a release slot during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 (August-October).

This latest press release simply says "the launch of Max Payne 3 has been moved out of fiscal 2010". This means the earliest date we will see this game on store shelves is November 2010. Take Two didn't confirm if this would be the case, nor if it would be even later in 2011.

We'll keep you up to date with any announcements regarding a more specific release date.

Hey guys,

I thought I'd just quickly post and tell you that I'm still watching for Max Payne 3 news and obviously, as you can see, I've found nothing worthy for a while.

With that said, I really hope news comes soon. I also wanted to pointed out a new site on our network: Red Dead Place. If you haven't heard of this new, upcoming game from Rockstar, I can assure you you will be interested in it. Ran by Chris, co-founder of Payne Killers and founder of The GTA Place, we have a great staff going over there and a nice community starting up.

Please check out Red Dead Place when you can - I guarantee if you like Grand Theft Auto or Max Payne you will find interest in this game.

More websites based on Rockstar's upcoming games are also in development, I will keep you updated on their progress.

With everything said here - let's hope for some Max Payne 3 news.

Sorry for not posting this earlier, I had some computer problems where I couldn't access the internet for a numerous amount of time.

Please note that Rockstar has not commented if this is an official trailer or not, but the character model and font is the same as on their website.

While there has not been a lot of news in the Max Payne world recently, I thought I'd update everyone in every way I can. First, let's start out with Rockstar Game's remodeled website.

This website is an obvious improvement to their old one, done pretty much all in flash, it holds the eye candy and the features that we're all looking for. In the featured section on the main page, Max Payne 3 appears randomly. Obviously, the project is not dead. I'll get into other reasons why later in the post, but here is Rockstar Game's website: http://www.rockstargames.com/

IGN put up an article about meeting Remedy Development, the developers of the first two Max Payne games in Cologne, Germany at the European Game Developers Conference. They stated that the original Max Payne took 4 years and a half years to create, and the sequel took 18 months. This is a significant difference obviously, as people complain about the length of the game, this shows why.




Last but defnitely not least, thanks to RockstarWatch we have some new information regarding a Rockstar Games alternate reality Max Payne 3 game, where a website has received bottles of Valkyr and other things. You can look into this interesting story at their website. http://www.rockstarw...e-reality-game/

IGN AU has released a new article talking about Max Payne 3 and some of the dialog in it and how the new setting affects fans and gameplay itself. Take a look at the article, it's pretty interesting.

Right after the last Facebook note that Rockstar made, another announcement has been made, along with new screenshots!

Here is the new information on Max Payne 3.




The new screenshots can be viewed below:

Rockstar has released a new high quality screenshot of Max Payne 3. I can see the blood on the walls (maybe graffiti, I don't know) that reminds me of the dream sequences he had in the previous games. The screenshot was released in a Rockstar note announcing the Game Informer (which can be seen on our About Max Payne 3 section).

The release date has been unconfirmed. When Joystiq talked to Rockstar, they told them that there was no set release date for the game yet.

I know that retailers release date's are usually unreliable, but when Stick Skills contacted Rockstar, the retailer replied with:

Play.com said:

It looks like the release date is official. Payne Killers cannot confidently say this, but from the looks of it, November 30th, 2009 is the release date.
