Modder ‘nmslMDSXXX’ has just released a must-have HD Texture Pack for Max Payne 3. This HD Texture Pack weighs at around 12GB and aims to improve most of the game’s objects and surfaces.
As the modder noted, some materials will still have their vanilla textures. According to nmslMDSXXX, it was impossible to improve all of them as the game cannot afford higher-quality texture maps. So, from the looks of it, this appears to be an engine issue.
But anyway, if you want to replay Max Payne 3, you can go ahead and download the HD Texture Pack from this link. At the end of the article, you will also find some comparison screenshots. These screenshots will give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
This HD Texture Pack should be compatible with the other packs we’ve shared for Max Payne 3. So, you can use it alongside this 4K pack that upscales all the 3D models for Max Payne. Alternatively, you can use this mod to make Max Payne look like Sam Lake (the original face of Max).
I’ve recently replayed Max Payne 3 and, to be honest, I have mixed feelings about it. While the shooting mechanics are excellent, its pacing felt a bit weird. Its flashing cinematic scenes may also cause issues for some people (though I was completely fine with them). And, even without any mods or HD Texture Packs, the game still looks quite good.
It’s also worth noting that Remedy won’t be remaking this particular Max Payne game. Instead, Remedy is working on remakes of the first two games.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
