Max & Rolling Stone Magazine

Max Payne is hitting the mainstream press! The current issue of Rolling Stone magazine (issue 876, Aug. 30, page 90) has a big article they call "The Hot List," covering what's hot in all areas of entertainment. Max Payne is the only interactive game mentioned in this 28 page article. Here's part of what they had to say:

"...then the action suddenly drops to super slo-mo, and a meticulously detailed bullet creeps across your screen as your hero hurtles through the air. Part John Woo movie, part film noir, Max Payne is the action game of the year."

Scott Miller is also quoted, talking about the four year development time: "Most games just cannot afford to be as ambitious as Max Payne, because they have to be done within an eighteen-month or two-year time frame. It just takes an extra amount of time to get it right."
