Max Payne: The Complete Timeline - What You Need to Know!

[@Burori1]

Fun Fact: Vladimir Lem's actor for the comic panels in the 1st Max Payne is Marko Saaresto, the lead vocalist of Poets of the Fall. Yes. Odin Anderson's younger self from the Alan Wake games! It's kinda sweet how the friendship's carried on to modern times with POTF and Remedy :D

[@SuggestiveGaming]

This is one of my favorite little tidbits! It's amazing that Marko and Sam showed up together in both Max Payne and Alan Wake 2 over two decades apart.

[@fckgooogle1000x]

And Vinnie's likeness in the first game is Olli Tukiainen from the same band

[@uberspencer]

I had no idea James passed away until here recently, I'm so glad him and Sam got to work one last time on Alan Wake 2

[@Sean_0109]

Im hoping he might’ve already did his lines for max Payne remakes but idk now or just remaster his lines ik they aren’t the best for todays standards but idk

[@SlurpyPie]

I know it’s unlikely but I’m hoping to god James was able to already record all his lines for the remakes cause for me he was the soul of Max and it just wouldn’t feel the same without him.

[@TerranPersoid725]

I’m convinced that Max’s liver is an Object of Power.

[@PhilTheThrillConner]

🛜🛜🛜

[@lambda-m1676]

It's where he gets to slow down time. Yep Estevez needs to get on Payne's ass

[@DeAnoJackson]

That would explain a lot

[@lambda-m1676]

Actually, if they hadn't sold the franchise off to Rockstar, this is probably how'd it go. Since they obviously wanted Max Payne to be there but had to write him off as Alex Casey.

[@AC-hj9tv]

A place of power, it's gotta be

[@Memoquin]

I never want a Max Payne 4. James McCaffrey can’t be replaced, a trilogy is a neat way for a series to go and the story is complete

[@Mirau361]

I agree bro, only the remake

[@illestgaming35]

i never remembered much of max payne before this video because i was relatively young when they came out but now having played them james mccaffrey really does embody the character as a whole but i think he would be happy to see a breath of fresh air into a game so long at rest

[@stevendiaz5649]

I would like a 4th just to see the return of Mona, and give max a happy ending for once. Like she somehow survived and needs his help.

[@austinblack7991]

They’ll probably use ai for max’s voice

[@getfitstayfit758]

Unless they do it with different "Max Payne" as the protagonist

[@ghostmari0592]

James Mcaffrey would’ve been happy for this he may left this world but he’s soul and spirits lives on sleep in peace James 🕊️

[@jalenikezeue4114]

😮 I didn't even know James past a way that's So sad let Raise our Cups Too James McCaffrey The greatest protagonist in gaming history 👑🍻🍻🍻🍸🍸🍸🍸

[@kcalixte77]

The max Payne trilogy will forever be my favorite game series

[@michaelbarfield12]

Not me already knowing everything about Max Payne but watching anyway cause it’s Max Payne-related…

[@XxGreymoonxX]

I'm happy you're getting a remake !

[@spouwnerring]

I find it really funny that in the comic book live action cutscenes Max is being played by the head developer and the final boss is played by his mom🤣🤣🤣

[@andreiaromanesei9270]

They didn' have a big budged for the first game.Many of the characters were Sam Lake's friends from college and family

[@Maxwel_Rodrigues]

Max Payne is probably my favorite game franchise, and it's amazing to remember that my dad bought me the first game when I was just 7 years old (in mid-2007). Max Payne 1 was one of the games that started my evolution as a video game player, from playing more "casual" games like fighting or racing and I started wanting to play a game for the story/narrative, and the fact that this game was the first that I played and having dubbing and texts in Brazilian Portuguese helped a lot. Max Payne 2 unfortunately I couldn't finish until today, but at the time it helped me a lot to want to learn English to understand what was happening. This game, Metal Gear Solid and God Of War were essential for me to want to seek out this additional knowledge. But the game's biggest contribution was introducing me to Poets Of The Fall, which is probably my favorite band, I mainly recommend the albums Carnival of Rust, Revolution Roulette, Temple of Thought and Jealous Gods, as well as the albums Live in Moscow and Alexander Theater Sessions. Max Payne 3 is a game that before its release I was worried about due to the various gameplay changes (being able to carry only 3 weapons, cover, etc.) and aesthetics (no more comics and taking place in my not-so-loved Brazil), but when I I really played it and I had to applaud what Rockstar managed to do, it's one of the best-made shooters on the PS3/Xbox 360. My only reservations are the frequent bugs (and some of them get in your way directly) and some problems with the representation of the Brazil, such as spelling errors and some characters speaking with accents that are clearly not from Brazil (most with Portuguese or Latin Spanish accents). Great video, keep up the great work... And yes, my name is Max, just a coincidence 🙃

[@slayecohenx7903]

HUE HUE BR Max Payne was the game that got me hooked in TPS genre and also i had recently discovered the band Angra, which is my favorite, got me into singing and playing guitar. I was listening Carry on and playing the whole game with that song, best times.

[@ravenlinosoriano2867]

And this man is running on Pain Killer and Booze for all 3 games? Max is built different

[@AC-hj9tv]

It me

[@DKArmstrong]

3's multiplayer will forever be a favourite.

[@marzeloperas]

I remember watching my older bro playing the first game, as I'm too young to play it Good times...

[@masterdale1155]

I enjoyed the 3 Max Payne games and I enjoy how you explained the story for all 3 Max Payne games and may James McCaffrey

[@williamwilliams8012]

I do love this series rest in peace the actor who voices Max Payne

[@tthomaselli2]

Suggestive Gaming- I love how you used the song that plays during graphic novel scenes from the first 'Max Payne' video game around 39:53.

[@tthomaselli2]

Suggestive Gaming- As a fan of the 'Max Payne' games, this was a good video. Great work!...

[@cvetankalinov6387]

Respect and R.I.P James McCaffrey. I played Max Payne and I can honestly say hell of a story and from the beginning to the end was a thrill to play.

[@danielwhite1233]

It’s always funny when people say “oh at the end of 2 he accepted his grief,” his drug and booze addiction prevents him from getting over his depression because the withdrawal force you to go through intense hormone changes that leave you in a state of perpetual depression until you’re over it, max never gets over it he’s always hungover or trying to bury it with substances, it’s how he’s able to quit alcohol cold turkey because he’s still chewing codine

[@thecowpoke_gaming]

My favorite third person shooter game of all time RIP James McCaffrey.

[@jordan1371]

Max payne 3 will always be one of my favorite games of all time, sad we never got max Payne 4

[@thefearofg0ds758]

One thing that never made sense to me regarding the first game's plot is that it states Max and Alex became rather famous, with their faces plastered all on TV and newspaper clippings...yet no one recognized Max Payne as the same cop that was part of the highly publicized "cop duo" from only 3 years prior? No news people OR criminals? And the DEA didn't even change his name when he went undercover(which is the biggest head scratcher). He has the same name attached to a highly publicized cop. This has bothered me for over 20 years despite how much I love this game's story.

[@donmondo2479]

56:30 Ok so I’m not the only one that experienced that glitch lol!

[@SuggestiveGaming]

Seems like it’s pretty common

[@MrRed_2205]

I love everything about the Remedy games story, it's such a wholesome group of people, I really hope the remakes get the love it deserves, in honor of James McCaffrey

[@PhatBoyzClub]

If anyone ever wants to pay max payne 3 play it with a mous and keyboard the kind of crazy things you can do can never be done on a controller. The finest 3rd person shooter ever made to this day aside from online Drm.

[@superhyrulean]

Awesome! I am recently playing the series. It's good! Really good!

[@jeddelariva]

I played the 1st Max Payne game on mobile,and man it was epic and action packed.

[@fenrirzt3255]

Great video! I loved every second

[@PeanutButterAndJellyBros]

Recently completed the first Max Payne. The game was just packed with john woo inspiration. I believe what I like most about it is the fact that the game knows how to be fun with the gun play. I don't believe any shooter games with the same camera style at the time can compete with Max Payne. None.

[@sauc33]

damn this brings me back!! great video

[@pailhorsegaming6762]

Max Payne isn’t just his name. It’s also his mental state.

[@ParisPK]

Really wish Remedy kept their IP in Max Payne so they can connect it to the Remedy Verse, would’ve been so cool and amazing

[@ILoveHoneyBunss]

According to Sam Lake they sold it cause they wanted to move on from Max Payne and show they could do more

[@ParisPK]

@@ILoveHoneyBunss I respect Sam Lake’s decision and they did amazing. Control, Quantum Break, and the Alan Wake series? They are amazing games 1000%. Hopefully one day, they can make a deal with Rockstar and make an Alan Wake x Max Payne crossover come true with Rockstar gameplay and Remedy’s art director and storytelling

[@augustvalek]

Nice video, MP 1 & 2 were awesome. Nevertheless, I wanna share this no related oddity: when watching this video, and only this video,.my whole phone screen gets a blueish tint, this includes the UI of the phone, like the status icons and the keyboard, this never happened to me before, kind of weird, but not your fault.

[@SuggestiveGaming]

Probably because it’s in HDR

[@royce3294]

I wish Remedy gets back the rights and remakes Max Payne 3. MP3 was a good game but didn't feel like anything from the remedy verse and felt more GTA5 esque. I want them to make MP3 non canon and rewrite the story to align with the feel of MP 1 and 2. That way they can cross over with the Alex Casey from New York in Alan Wake 2.

[@petermj1098]

Max Payne 1 is about him getting the trauma out of his mind. Max Payne 2 is about him getting the trauma out his heart. Max Payne 3 is about him getting the trauma out of his soul. Max changing his appearance and being in Brazil symbolizes him trying to clear his soul from his trauma in New York. Max does clear his soul of his trauma and finally gets peace by the end.

[@christianjaggie6069]

Gears of War would also be a fun video to watch!

[@ducklife8416]

You might not see this but can you do the infamous series down the line, feel like it didn’t get the love it deserved and it would be pretty cool. Love the videos man keep it up

[@teek.]

Nice video! Great recap of the entire game series... I see the story used "-developer", F12, "god" throughout! The enemies either leave Max alive, the sniper ALWAYS misses his head and shoots the hand instead, or Max takes the bullets straight on and still wakes up the next day with a fully functional body 😅

[@perspicacity89]

Wow, what an incredible video. Thanks friend.

[@renerivera9715]

Nice, I actually never played Max payne games, so this is gonna be interesting

[@Mirau361]

Go play the originals

[@JuliusKendle-ln9pt]

Thanks for the suggestion Josh ill use my imagination

[@SnakeSolidPL]

Bruh. I played MP2 like 20 times and never knew there was an alternative ending. Wellp, time to play it one more time.

[@Aminimous]

56:32 wow this game is a manifest of futuristic technology. Self-driven cars and such.

Suggestive Gaming- How come the highest quality of this video isn't available on the iPhone, for example?... This highest quality I can watch this video is 1080p60 on my iPhone, I believe instead of 1440p60, or, whatever it is on a laptop/desktop/both.

[@SuggestiveGaming]

I’m honestly not sure. On my iPhone 16 I can select 2160p60 HDR
