No, first game did a much better job. HR felt way too fake compared to the first game, especially considering it's supposed to be a prequel. Plus when half the thugs in the city are running around with augs you wonder how the hell they get that shit.

didnt remedy release full level editor and script editor for maxfx? why arent there any hipster indie devs making max1 total conversions?

Attached: mp12.jpg (3840x2160, 3.01M)

For its time it was very good, but mostly on the strength of its themes, writing and level design. The art and graphics were poor, even for the time. The art of Deus Ex 3 is very strong. Although some hate the filter, I think it's distinctive. I have a hard time thinking a game has good atmosphere if the art and graphics are bad.

Yeah, the original Max Payne for the PC was packaged with MaxED (The level editor) , model viewer/ editor, script editor and the rest of the SDK. It's not hard to find the SDK tools online. Max Payne 2 didn't come with the development tools on the disc, instead Remedy released those separately online. But there are dev tools for MP2 as well, and MP2 uses a DX9 version of MaxFX with Havok physics.

I like it, but the controls are almost unbearable, it has very detailed animations, but unlike something like classic tomb raider it feels very unpredictable, sometimes he sticks to cover, sometimes he decides to roll across the floor.
But it did so many interesting new things that I don't think any modern games would dare to do now, like getting rid of all the HUD elements

Remedy games have great atmosphere.

>I almost beat it until i got that playstation mag demo disk with the viewtiful joe demo that erased your memory card
Ah, that's rough...
I actually started playing it yesterday so I might get comfortable with it eventually, I have been interested in it ever since a saw a trailer for it when it was new, but i never got around to it until I recently found it on the flea market and thought "why not"
I had a bit of a "holy shit" moment when I realised I had to follow the blinkers to get around, it took me a few minutes to realise it because I'm so used to games telling me to "go here you idiot!"
when I realised it wasn't gonna be your typical GTA experience i read through the manual as well.

Remember when they rereleased Deus Ex HR as a "Director's Cut" that completely removed all the gold filter look, totally destroying the game's art style, and then pulled the original version of the game from all stores so you can only play this gimped "Director's Cut" version that's literally a slap-dash port job from the hacked-together WiiU version?

Good times.

It makes perfect sense in the game because the immediately previous scene was a flashback taking place several years ago, so they're letting you know that the storyline is now back to the present day plot.

I know why it says that cause I played the game. It's still poorly worded.

I'd either simply give the date or just say "two nights ago".

Bloodborne and Silent Hill 2.

But "two nights ago" is already how it is written, dipshit.

I never played the 2nd because I hated the driving in the 1st game and thought the story was connected.

>Is this a mod?

It's the vanilla PC game with a few fan patches applied.

The story isn't connected nearly at all, there's one mission that features a character from the first game but the game doesn't expect you to know who he is, he's only there as easter egg for the people who played 1. I played only Mafia 2, and not once did I feel like I'm missing out on anything. It's a whole different story. It takes place in the same world, but decades afterwards. New characters, new plots, and new gameplay mechanics. So, better driving. Check it out, it's overall a great game.

I like it because of it's varied environments and it very clearly applies the core mechanics to bring about a tight little package. Not having crowd npc's is a bonus too. They're basically just cardboard cutouts of people.

It would work if the previous scene said "years ago".

Fucking gorgeous. This shit right here is EXACTLY why game companies don't want their games on PC. 18 years later and the game still holds up, when scaled to high resolution and refresh rate. Buy it once and you keep it forever, enjoying it for all time with new upgrades. Meanwhile in console walled garden land, you buy a game for an old generation system and it's stuck there. You want to play it again in high resolution on a modern system? Cough up some more shekels for the "HD Remaster." It's a fucking joke. PC gaming, especially back during that era (2001 and before) was the pinnacle of game companies that actually cared. Actually made something to be proud of that they'd want to be remembered. Not just the next yearly release to squeeze money out of people. Fucking depressing what's become of it all.

You do not seem to grasp how backwards compability works. Meanwhile I a game like Ninja Gaiden Black from the original Xbox on my Xbox One X. That is 2 generations back and I did not need to pay anything for it. No need for HD remasters at all.

So basically Microsoft was kind enough to include this feature because their console was dying and needed an oomph. And it's an exception not the rule. So suddenly all consoles are golden at backwards compatibility? Nah you're dead wrong on this one. Look to Nintendo or Sony for what happens when you "own" the market and how old games are treated.
