In an interview with Remedy Writer & Co-Founder Sam Lake said about the Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake,

“It is a significant undertaking in the sense that even if they are old games, just thinking about bringing them up to modern standards and combining them into one, you can see that it’s a big, big project.”

He was later asked if he would reprise his role as Max Payne since he was the visual actor for the character in the first game. (Seen in the image above).

“No comment!” he replied. “That’s going too far.” Lake laughed.

Max Payne is one of my favorite series of all time. It’s a film noir, graphic novel style storyline based in New York about a hard-boiled detective framed for a crime he didn’t commit. It’s the first use of Bullet Time slow motion action in videogames, dual wielding a wide variety of weaponry while diving through the air.

Epic Games is reportedly laying off 900 employees, 16% of its workforce. In a memo from Epic CEO Tim Sweeney, the layoffs will be from Bandcamp and SuperAwesome. Sweeney also commented that the company will focus more on Fornite content and other codenamed projects. ”For a while now, we’ve been spending way more money than we earn, investing in the next evolution of Epic and growing Fortnite as a metaverse-inspired ecosystem for creators. I had long been optimistic that we could power through this transition without layoffs, but in retrospect I see that this was unrealistic.”Fortnite remains one of the world’s most played games based on store rankings on game consoles. Epic also announced the price of V-Bucks, Fortnite’s in-game currency, is going up this October. 2800 V-Bucks will now cost $22.99 as opposed to the previous price of $19.99. The Unreal Engine also made by Epic Games is one of the most popular game design engines in the industry. Fortnite users now can create content within Fortnite using a version of Unreal.
