Max Payne 3 is edging nearer and nearer to launch, and with a minor gaming drought nearly behind us, we’re getting impatient to lay hands on Max’s third bullet-time extravaganza.

Thankfully, the threequel hasn’t left the series’ roots and is set to deliver a more compelling and drama-filled noir story than ever before.

Max Payne 3 will also feature a new Euphoria-based animation system, which will allow players to shoot, dive and dodge with the inclusion and compensation of real-world physics.

Max Payne 3 is set to launch in SA on 18 May 2012.

Check out the launch trailer below:
