The first trailer for Max Payne 3 has just been released. The third game in the series is being developed by Rockstar games, they guys behind Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption, etc.. So expect a suitable level of blood and violence.

It states at the end of the video that the trailer was made purely from in-game footage. I really like this, there’s too many games with incredible trailers and then the actually gameplay sucks. But this is sort of a half-truth, yes it’s all in-game footage, but they’re all cut scenes, what would’ve been cool would be to see some actual gameplay.

I remember playing the first game and enjoying it, anyone else remember ‘bullet-time’? With a team like RockStar behind the new game, I’m sure it’s going to impress.

Thing is, there’s so many games like this out now, so what must a game do to really stand out?
