Max Payne 2 - Easter Egg Collection

[@dilegox]

5:43, dude I played this game when I was about 10 or 11, and when I stumbled upon that shrine by accident it scared the hell outta me. The music, the candles, the real person face!!, it was scary as hell back then. Good times.

[@noble300000]

You forgot one. When Max asks the janitor for the password, the janitor says "667. Neighbor to the Beast. Get it?" This is a reference to the original Max Payne. When Max is in the underground bunker, the code for one of the doors is "665" and Max comments on how it's the neighbor to the Beast.

[@Thankister]

+Kermit the Frog It's in Max Payne 1 not Max Payne 2.

[@noble300000]

+Thankthai1 Did you even read my comment? I said it's an easter egg referring to the original

[@Thankister]

When I rethinks. ( FFS I AM AN IDIOT IT'S IN MAX PAYNE 2 TOO)

[@midnighthymn]

Kermit the Frog Thank you for pointing this out, I thought I was the only who noticed! Great reference

[@simple-commentator-not-rea7345]

I expected Max Payne 3 to have some Easter Egg to which you had to get by typing a 3-letter key code on some security door. Fans of the original two games would eventually guess that the key code is 666

[@SalDOWN]

4:30 > Mona is singing ''Late goodbye''.

[@PuppyHugs]

yea i noticed that too and i was like why didn't he point that out?

[@ray4493]

why was so much hate ?? I mean this game went much deeper into the darkness, sadness. The agony of losing loved ones again and again was perfectly pictured here. If anything I didn't like about Max Payne 3 was the fact that Max completely forgot about Mona...

[@wangathin]

i loved max payne 3 but this was also my biggest gripe, she got one maybe 2 mentions if that.

[@2paktolife]

@@wangathin max payne 3 was ridicolous.

[@Asidders]

There's just something about this game that is lacking, compared to the first game. I can't quite put my finger on it...

[@StatusQuonald]

@@Asidders yeah I feel the same way. The atmosphere, the more complex story, the slickness of it all.. I'm just not feeling it. MP1 was flawed, yes, but it had such a raw and real feeling to it. Plus the aspect of the snow storm, which makes it Max alone against the big bad world. It's an amazing feeling going through that story, no matter how many times you play it.

[@petersinkworking6198]

It wasnt serious like mp1 it was literally ruining the essence with sex and grandmas with shotguns but on the ending i liked it

[@DJRevan]

I absolutely loved how they teased 'Late Goodbye' throughout the whole game. When the song came on during the credits it was shivering.

[@abomierick]

Kaufman.....hmmm.... Isn't that the same name of the gta taxi car?

In the 2º nightmare, near the end, where the officer and Mona are talking and then they shoot you, you can read a text that says "Wake up Max, you're in a videogame!". It happens in the prologue of the 3º chapter. In the Prologue of the 3º chapter in Max Payne 1, if you use a "Dangerous paper", there's a little cutscene where Max discovers that he is in a Videogame. Cool, right?

[@sanjeevmann425]

In max Payne 1 there was a part he was in a videogame. What was max trying to tell us?

The second episode of "Dick Justice" makes reference to a "constipated" look on his face which was what IGN referred the model of the original Max Payne as in their review.

Yup. It's in the level Take Me to Cold Steel, I believe, when Max was entering the building where all the information he basically needed on Nicole Horne was stored.

The janitor gives you the code which is 667 he makes a reference to the number being the neighbor to the beast. In the first Max Payne, Max uses the same reference when he found a code which was 665.

[@freeindialegionenjoyer1999]

Jim bravura became much old in Max Payne 2

Actually this secret "Happy ending" places a dot in Maxs story and makes whole Max Payne 3 part senseless.

It's not canon

[@paulie561]

I see it as Remedy's official ending but not Rockstar's

[@AnonymousWins]

Something else about Dick Justice at 1:00, Dick Justice is a reference to a conversation in the first game, between 2 guards in the underground facility where one says (paraphrasing here) "I bet these guys here name their guns, what do you call yours?" the other guard goes "Dick Justice!", the first replies "Figures,"

[@TheLOLFace21]

Dick Figures? Wow, that guard must be a fan of that animation.

[@MaxPaynefan1]

In Max's apartment there is a c.d case that says "Late goodbye." And if you go in the restroom you could see Max's haawain shirt that he wore in the first game.

Remedy must to huge fans of Poets of the Fall to use their music in Max Payne and Alan Wake

Also, you will come accept several pianos in the game, the more you play them is the more Max will "remember" and play his full theme song

[@dennyfrontier]

You're thinking of Max Payne 3

[@raulprima]

Yep, any fan of max payne 1 and 2 knows that MP3 is not cannon. It didn't happen. Remedy made an ending to max payne 3, depicting his death, inside a manuscript in the game Alan wake. You should check it out, if you wanna know how he died.

[@taipan686]

Let me tell you a story, Back when i was a young. i used to have Max Payne 2 on Xbox. i used to get to the part with the singing janitor and just sit there listening to him sing. i love that song. acouple days ago after i finished Max Payne 3 i went back and finished 1 and 2. I looked up the song. i now have it and all the Max Payne theme songs on my Ipod. Yes i also have the song "Tears" by "Health". A professional street gang that Rockstar kindly asked to make them a song. Thumbs up for MP.

[@LesterCrest13]

when max references to old memories being the american dream and waking up from it was only the fall.

[@BlueBlueSXXI37]

You forgot about one more. In the first minute of game in hospital, you can hear voices in Max head. One of them is reference to "Forest Gump". Its Bravura voice shouting "Run Max, run!"

[@0banai_Igur0]

It is my favourite Max Payne in the series.

[@meatball1324]

with the first Easter egg on this video if you look behind the children's drawings its the same wallpaper as max's daughters room in the first game

the one about the drawings is super creepy

And something the video didnt mention: one has the name Rose on it, which is Max' daughter that got murdered along with his wife.

[@dddrrmm]

Actually all the tv shows in MP2 were a comedized parody of the story.

[@mac1991seth]

Rockstar considered Mona dead (it was even mentioned in Max Payne 3, I believe) and so she never makes an appearance. It would be nice of R* if they create a standalone game where it turns out she's alive after all, but that's just me wishing.

[@subhodeepsaha3113]

[@Skibidi_Rex]

Its because when Max Payne was first made its budget was very low. So the games writer Sam Lake himself acted as the face of Max Payne. After its release it was so popular, that they had bigger budget for Max Payne 2. So Lake declined the role and professional actor Timmothy Gibbs was hired to act as Max Payne.

[@maskedbadass6802]

The need to make a game for Dick Justice set in the 70s that focuses on humor and funkiness. Then they need to make a Mona Sax game that mirrors the original Max Payne and shows what she was doing while Max was chasing down his Valkyr leads and has flashback levels about her young and how she became a killer. They need to give her a HUGE motivation though to make it worth it like maybe some people killed her father and then ran a train on her or something.
