Max Payne 3 is getting kitted out with a couple of more traditional ways of killing enemies, with a cover mechanic as well as over-the-shoulder zoom aiming.<\/p>\n

Talking to GameSpot, art director Rob Nelson explains, “We’ve introduced a left trigger, over the shoulder aiming feature that most games have, where you can sort of zoom in a bit closer and aim more precisely on your target at the expense of your ability to move around quickly.”<\/p>\n

“So we added that, and we’ve added a cover mechanic, but those are ancillary additions to the core of the game, which is still very much the run and gun.”<\/p>\n

As far as bullet-time is concerned, that\u2019s going to be pretty much how it was in the first two games.<\/p>\n

“As far as the way bullet-time works now, compared to the way it worked in the old games – and what the greatest addition, enhancement is – it works pretty much the same,” Nelson said.<\/p>\n

“It really, it hasn’t changed,” he added. “But yet it looks and feels completely different because of the depth at which we’ve integrated it.”<\/p>\n

Rockstar<\/a> is making use of their Euphoria engine to get more realism out of the game, particularly with the way enemies react to getting shot.<\/p>\n

“As far as Euphoria, it’s basically a set of behaviours that you can tune, and so it’s really how much effort you put into that. With Max, we put a lot of effort into the different aspects of Euphoria and how we use it. So there’s the hit-reacts for the enemies – we sort of evolved that and made them feel more connected,” Nelson explains.<\/p>\n

“We’re always pushing it. Plus we have bullet-cams and things like that.”<\/p>\n

Max Payne 3 is set to be released in March of 2012.<\/p>\n
