Wojciech Chalinski, Environment artist at Bulkhead Interactive, has been experimenting with Unreal Engine and created a map inspired by Remedy’s classic Max Payne game. From the looks of it, Chalinski has used Unreal Engine and has recreated the Roscoe Street Station from the game.
In other words, this fan recreation will give you a small idea of what a modern-day remake of Max Payne could have looked like in 2019. To his credit, Chalinski was able to keep the aesthetics of the game intact but then again the game’s subway station wasn’t artistically anything original to begin with.
Unfortunately, Chalinski has not released this map to the public so we can’t re-experience this level ourselves. Still, below you can find some screenshots and two videos showcasing this map.
From what we know, Take Two does not plan to release a new part in the Max Payne series. And while there could be a remaster of the first two games, we won’t see any proper remake for these games any time soon. Of course by proper remake I’m referring to what Activision and Capcom did with the remakes of Spyro, Crash Bandicoot and Resident Evil 2.
But anyway, enjoy the screenshots!

This and the second 1 = id spend 120 $ on those. There are a few things i want in my life, and those 2 are kind of on top of the list, when it comes to entertainment that is.
Resident 2 Remake looks similar and is only 3 weeks away.
I’d buy it immediately.
Ugh, that massive chromatic aberration on the left and right sides of the screenshots looks abhorrent. Otherwise, the actual texture work and lighting looks pretty good.
I guess most artists prefer simulating film effects. there are a few instances where the effect exists outside of a lends. such as water, glass, prisms, and other reflective materials.
the effect to use in order to simulate the iris should be the bokeh depth of field, set to “.1”. it’s a degree short of 100% edge clarity. a slight feather effect. the eyes see 20/20 and not 1000 to 1 like the lends of a camera.
Yes please.
Take two Will create open world max Payne and make it online so you can buy shark card…
They will also replace bullet time with something stupid because it doesn’t work in multiplayer. Case in point: Fallout 76.
Would love to see a remake of Max Payne 1 and 2 with graphics like those and gameplay similar to Max Payne 3. But of course improved.
The core elements of the gameplay is the same across all 3 games.
But each has their own differences. Both Max Payne and Max Payne 2 has big differences in gameplay, yet the fundamentals are the same.
So yes I would say that in some areas Max Payne 3 has better gameplay than it’s predecessors. The cover system is a nice addition, and the mixes you can make in dual wield.
But the point was that it would be cool to see a full remaster or remake with the good elements from all of the games.
Everyone is allowed to like whatever they want. Even if others thinks bad about it. That’s just how it is.
I did MP3 was highky refined play mp1 or 2 recently even with kb/m max controls like a truck
Resident 2 Remake looks similar and is only 3 weeks away.
Exactly what I was thinking ^^^, having said that it looks really nice and I would buy it.
That guy played too much BF3. The visual art is more like OP Metro map than Max Payne.

Dont like it, its too clean for a 90s john woo movie.
how many accounts are you gonna make?
I would pay full price in a heartbeat for a modern remake of Max Payne 1 and 2!
I usually hate remakes or remasters but I would love a remaster of Max Payne 1 & 2 if done by Remedy. Rockstar’s Max Payne 3 was just terrible in many ways and a sad way to end a franchise.
I have both 1 and 2 in Steam and plan on replaying them. Any issues or mod considerations from those of you who’ve tried them on a modern system?
It has some issues with sounds and whatnot when playing on Windows. Ironically enough, it works better on Linux through Proton on Steam without any tweak needed even though it wasn’t supposed to work on Linux in the first place. I replayed both Max 1 and 2 on Linux and it was a real blast from the past. This time I’m actually fluent in English, so I could finally fully enjoy the story line.
The screenshots look out of focus, like with a ghost image as if it was in a CRT TV having a bad time with the signal. Other than that, it looks amazing!
