Max Payne 1 and 2 were developed by the Finnish studio, Remedy. The first game went on to recieve all sorts of awards while the second game didn’t recieve as much hype. However, after that the Max Payne franchise was shipped off to Rockstar Vancouver for development. But does this mean the end of Remedy’s involvement in the series?

That looks to be the case as in a recent statement to VG247, Remedy currently has no plans to ever revisit the Max Payne universe. However, Remedy’s Oskari has seen some screen shots of Max Payne 3 and is pleased with what he sees and trusts Rockstar because they “don’t make bad games”.

If you’re wondering when Max Payne 3 is out, well, no one knows exactly but it’s supposed to be sometime this year.

In a new interview with Finnish game magazine Pelaaya (English for “Player, apparently), Finnish developer Remedy, developers of the upcoming and highly anticipated Alan Wake, said that the game was an Xbox 360 exclusive at the moment, and that the PC version was “up in the air”.

However, considering that Alan Wake was originally revealed at an Intel event a few years ago, showcasing the power of the company’s multicore CPUs, and stating that Alan Wake would be optimized for quad core CPUs, it’s highly likely we’ll see the game on the PC — albeit later than on the Xbox 360.
