Max Payne 3 in development says CVG

[Xbox360]

According to CVG, Xbox 360 World magazine claims that Max Payne 3 is currently in development internally within Rockstar at its studio in Toronto, Canada. Responsible for the fan favorite beat-em-up The Warriors, Rockstar Toronto would be taking the reigns from Remedy - who is currently working (we hope) on the Microsoft exclusive Alan Wake.

Details on the rumor are scarce as a release date, let alone an announcement date, has been set. We wouldn't be surprised if this rumor were true considering the credits of the Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (PC version only) proclaim, "Max Payne's journey through the night will continue." According the Rockstar career page, Rockstar Toronto is seeking experienced Xbox 360 and PS3 programmers, so we know something for this generation is planned. Take Two has yet to respond to Joystiq's request for a comment on the rumor.

I still haven't played much of 2. 1 is one of my all time favorite games though.

[Payne IV]

yes yes yes yes

So I guess this isn't the PS3 exclusive from Rockstar. I only played halfway through the first one. Will have to pick the first two up on Steam since they're like $5 a piece.

The PS3 exclusive is L.A Noire from R*, although it's slowly looking more like a multi-plat.

I think it was something else actually. It's supposed to be something announced and a lot of people speculated that it might be Max Payne 3.

Where did you hear about this?

I heard about this about 6 months ago....

And yeah this is *said* to be multi plat.

And LA Noire is leaning that way too.

I would kinda want this to be ps3 only tho. Just so I'd have SOMETHING worth playing.

Kotaku or Destructoid or one of those blogs. It was only about a month ago. I'll see if I can find the post later.
