#Max payne 3 ufe series#

Raul is seeking Max in order to recruit him as a private security contractor for a job in South America. When Max gets into a confrontation at a bar with the son of a local mob boss, Anthony DeMarco Jr., an old acquaintance from his police academy, Raul Passos, intervenes. Nine years after the events of the previous game, Max Payne is retired cop drowning his sorrows in alcohol and painkillers in Hoboken, New Jersey. Through advanced use of the Euphoria dynamic animation engine, shooting and killing enemies in Max Payne 3 will look noticeably more realistic than in any preceding Rockstar game. Rockstar has blended physics and animation, so that when a player dives, they do so appropriately according to their surroundings.

Players are able to stay grounded after a dive, which enables them to shoot 360 degrees around. Max Payne 3 retains the shoot-dodge mechanic from the previous games in the series.

New to the series is a 'Last Stand' mechanic, which gives the player a grace period after losing all health during which time the player may kill the enemy that wounded them in order to continue playing, however this mechanic is only usable if the player has one or more bottles of painkillers in their possession. In bullet-time it is possible to see every bullet strike an enemy in detail. Max Payne 3 also marks the return of bullet-time in action sequences, for which the franchise is notable. Max Payne 3 features a similar over-the-shoulder camera as its predecessors, with the addition of a cover mechanic, while also retaining much of the same run-and-gun style of gameplay.

Max Payne 3 is a third-person shooter in which the player assumes the role of its titular character, Max Payne.
