Max Payne - XBOX vs GBA - Game vs Game

[@SNESdrunk]

I couldn't help but crack up laughing when I heard the voiceover comparison. Bless the GBA's heart for trying, but it sounded like that Space Ghost episode when he had a speaker attached to his head to broadcast his thoughts. Great video!!

[@GamevsGame]

Hah! Oh man, you should see the waveform on that clip. It's almost a solid rectangle.

[@Dongled]

Yayyy you're back! Great comparison here and love the Popka nod in the beginning.

[@SameNameDifferentGame]

It's Noirvember! And, hey, thanks for the plug!

[@theperfectlycromulentyoutu1011]

This is the only channel I've hit the notification bell for. Keep up the great content.

[@comichound]

This has nothing to do with this particular video, I've just discovered your channel and I've enjoyed all your videos. I noticed you keep your Sega CD games in blue DVD cases. I also put my Sega CD games into DVD cases with the aid of the Cover Project; however, your games looked so good in the blue cases, you inspired me to buy some blue cases for my Sega CD games. Thanks for the great videos; keep up the good work. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Great video, greetings from the homeland of max payne, Finland

[@GamevsGame]

Thanks! Greetings from the homeland of actress Katie Holmes, Ohio!

[@TheBechtloff]

I didn't even know there was a GBA Max Payne until like a week or two ago when I saw a review of it on Nostalgia Wound's channel.

[@TheDaliPopka]

So, you finally played an Xbox game...you picked a good one! Glad to see you in my sub feed again, you've been sorely missed.

[@GamevsGame]

Good to BE back in sub feeds again! Speaking of, I've got a load of yours to catch up on, eager to check out your LotR vids, played the crap out of Two Towers and dipped my toe in on The Hobbit when it was first out. We need to catch up soon, let's set something up!

[@MellowGaming]

Loving the noir stuff at the start. You scripted that well. Noir style can be tricky to write. Too little and it sounds almost serious, too far and it becomes farcical. You got it right on the Max Payne serious but a little silly level there. Never played the GBA version. I think I just couldn't imagine it working but recently I've seen a few people mention it. Might have to hunt for a copy. Good to have you back yo. Also, thank you for the shoutout at the end there! Didn't expect that. Super appreciated!

[@GamevsGame]

Cheers Ant! Shame though that I didn't realize KZbin had cut the annotations out and only support the end slate thing in the last 20 seconds of the vid otherwise I could have properly displayed the link off to your Spider-Man vid.

[@MellowGaming]

@@GamevsGame The whole 20 seconds only thing is a pain. Not enough time to really say much over your end slate really. They ditched Annotations over a year ago now I think. I liked them. Let you have proper video clips as links and stuff. End slates are quicker to implement though.

[@michaelpitcher2820]

Max payne gba is so good that I've replayed it several times. On purpose. Lol.

[@zanegandini5350]

Man you can really hear the GBA grunting and panting, trying to process all of this. Still, that's an amazing conversion and I love seeing developers push the system's limits like this. Not to mention the music sounds awesome in that chiptuney form.

[@Jenovi]

I really enjoyed this. It’s always nice to see a comparison of a demake against the original source.

[@braselthegamer]

Great video my man. Good to see you at it again.

[@GamevsGame]

Thanks Brasel! Here's to keeping it going

[@SuperDerek]

Before watching the video, instant like! Glad to see you again buddy! :D

[@KWKBOX]

Never knew this was on the GBA. Excellent video to come back with. I noticed your game room has come along will you do a tour of it in a future video?

[@GamevsGame]

Thanks Kevin! Yeah I'd like to, but still have a long way to go on it. The game wall is up but I'm still on the lookout for the right solution to get all my systems hooked up along with the Mac and the Elgato to record and stream, as well as seating and storage. So one side looks good, the other is pretty bland at the moment.

[@RetroView]

You returned! Nice.

[@GamevsGame]

And will do everything I can to STAY returned

[@SuperDerek]

Excellent video buddy! :)

[@GamevsGame]

Thanks Derek! Great to hear from you too!

[@utbsupercrate5131]

Sweet needed something to watch this morning

[@GamevsGame]

Happy to oblige

[@OddPodRetro]

Great stuff, never played the GBA game and haven't played the console one probably since around the time it came out. Really enjoyed this vid, looking forward to the next one

[@GamevsGame]

Cheers Dan! At my current pace it'll be next Halloween haha! Now that I've got this out though, I've been itching to check out your Slimer vid, definitely a watch tonight is is order :)

[@OddPodRetro]

@@GamevsGame thank you, hope you enjoy it. If you ever think of a Collab idea let me know ;)

[@NovaPrima]

I might be thinking of the sequel, but you can't take lethal damage while doing a shootdodge in the PC version either.

[@asmallquest]

Great video dude, I had no idea that Max Payne GBA existed. Max Payne is on my list of games to check out. I’ll make sure to play the Xbox version 😁

[@GamevsGame]

Cheers Dan! Yeah the GBA game is a nice little curio, but you'll be much happier with the full experience, enjoy!

[@HybridAngelZero]

I was always curious about the GBA version, and it looks like they really did a solid job. Also, with the Game Boy Player, the Select button is nicely mapped to X or Y, so I do wonder if the Painkiller being set to Select was made with that in mind

[@GamevsGame]

That's a great point, didn't think about that!

[@Steadysphere]

This was really interesting! I admire the ambition of Max Payne on the GBA, beats the usual conversions. I'm a bit gutted about the PS2 version sounding bad though, as I don't have an OG Xbox to play it :(

[@GamevsGame]

That is a bummer, but on the plus side it's only like $5-$7 so not a huge bust if the frame rate drops are too unbearable

[@RewindMike]

Good stuff! Always loved the game and the GBA port was solid in my mind. Now try Town Hawk 2 on the GBA and prepare for a bad isometric port haha

[@GamevsGame]

Thanks Mike! Oof, I can only imagine Tony Hawk... I vaguely remember hearing good things about it though, maybe it was the first on GBC? Or later ones? Don't remember.

[@mattfahringer148]

where'd you go?

[@brackkusamaz4015]

Dude, come back. Its good shit

[@furtivefox]

It always annoyed me how people didn't know Max Payne was in development way before I even knew what the Matrix was. I used to have a computer games magazine that had development stuff about it, but unfortunately got stolen way back.

[@GamevsGame]

That was always my assumption when it first came out, just cashing in on the cool slow-mo from The Matrix, obviously later came to know it's development history. That would be cool to get deeper into, shame someone took it. Do you remember the name of the magazine, there's loads of magazine PDFs floating around out there.

[@chriswemple5470]

Can you make a Shrek (Xbox) vs Shrek Extra Large (Gamecube) Video

[@Dana_Ruiz]

Man, I’m dying to boot up a copy on a GB Micro.

[@GamevsGame]

Have fun! I have been dying to get a Micro into my collection, they're so ridiculously priced anymore.

[@adesignersperspective]

huzzah again!

[@LOCKEYJ]

Is it odd that I preferred the gba version. I’ve played it through multiple times

[@RyumaXtheXKing]

Do Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine. I love those weird GB ports.

[@septarap3901]

Came here after SNES drunk's video about Max Payne (GBA)!😁

[@koopakape]

SNESdrunk crew represent

[@LOCKEYJ]

Using select is easier if use any other model of the gba. The SP has that nice screen but ergonomically it’s total trash If you’re comfortable with the micro I’d recommend that, or a modded original model with backlit screen. It feels so much better

[@Densiozo]

I wish Rockstar didn't have the Licence. Now they did a bullshit game with Max Payne 3. The 1&2 were amazing, especially on PC and the GBA one, a good surprise. But the third, super lame. Alan Wake was more like Max Payne than Max Payne 3 that I will never talk about anymore

[@pferreira1983]

Amazing smaller version of the console game, very impressive all things considered. PC is still the better version. Good comparison video as well.

[@seph3061]

*_top ten anime come backs_*

[@Densiozo]

Best version is PC anyway with all the crazy mods

[@Nsfwstar]

Xbox one vs switch in a nutahell xd

[@mattfahringer148]

unsubbed till you upload new shit

[@GamevsGame]

But then how will you know when new shit is uploaded? For real though, completely understandable, and I'm honestly shocked this hasn't been everyone's response. I've always sucked at scheduling and planning, and LOVE procrastinating; trying to piece it back together at the moment and looking to get new shit out SOON!

[@brackkusamaz4015]

[@mattfahringer148]

yep still a dead channel
