Now through January 13th, 2012, Rockstar is offering their Twitter followers an “opportunity to be immortalized as one of eight Max Payne 3 multiplayer gang characters, just by using the #MaxPayne3 hashtag on Twitter.” Read below for all the details! Every week from now until January 13th, we’ll be selecting ten people at random that we’ve spotted using the #MaxPayne3 hashtag. If you’re one of those chosen, we’ll contact you either via tweet or direct message to request a picture of you for consideration. We’ll then pick two people from each group each week (eight people in total) who will have their likeness appear as a multiplayer gang character in our upcoming action shooter Max Payne 3. Make sure you’re following @RockstarGames on Twitter. Make sure you’re using the hashtag #MaxPayne3 when you talk about the game. Keep an eye on your twitter replies and direct messages for us to contact you through January 13th, 2012. All fans that we contact will only have 48 hours to respond. Visit the casting page for all of the details, and the official rules .

Win a Chance to Be Immortalized as a Max Payne 3 Multiplayer Character

Oh how I love Rockstar Games. As you know, over the past few titles released by the company, we’ve been treated to a number of narrative gameplay videos detailing some of the features of a game or the technology behind it. You might remember these namely with titles such as Red Dead Redemption and LA Noire (I’m not completely sure, but maybe GTAIV used them as well). Keeping with this new tradition is another upcoming Rockstar title, Max Payne 3, and I gotta say, based on this video alone (there will be 5 of these types of videos in all), I am pretty speechless. In fact, you should have seen me struggling to pick my jaw up off the floor with my bad back. Every bullet is rendered in real time? 360 degree shooting, even in prone? Thousands of animations that seamlessly flow into each other? Natural Motion’s ‘Euphoria’ physics for dynamic reactions to gunshot wounds? Well, I’m pretty confident this has now made my Most Wanted list. The video above showcases gameplay design choices from targeting and shooting, movement and animation, to the series staple, Bullet Time. Hell, even the artificial intelligence has a wide breadth of capabilities. Seriously, just watch the video.

We have all been waiting for this moment to come and finally, the first trailer to the long awaited Max Payne sequel was released by Rockstar Games . As a fan of the game, and a São Paulo inhabitant, I must say the trailer not only didn’t disappoint me, but it hooked me from the very first line and took me back to the incredible story of the unluckiest video game protagonist I can think of. Everything looks good and, as expected, Max’s voice is still setting the dark tone for the game. Did I mention this trailer is made up entirely from in-game footage?

Red Dead Redemption GOTY Edition

Rockstar Games has announced a release date for the third installment to the series that made shooting in slow motion an over used feature in video games. Max Payne 3 will launch sometime in March 2012 in both North American and European regions. Along with a gritty single player campaign Max Payne 3 will be the first of the series to include multiplayer that will offer a “compelling experience that dynamically alters maps and mode progression for all players in a match”. Still haunted by the memories of his traumatic past, Max begins a new life working private security protecting a wealthy industrialist and his family in Sao Paulo, Brazil. When gangs target the family under his protection, Max is forced to fight to save his clients and clear his name, in a bid to, once and for all, rid himself of the demons that have tortured him for far too long. An all new cover system and of course bullet time are some of the gameplay features gamers can expect to see in Max Payne 3. Expect more game details from Rockstar Games soon.

The upcoming DLC for LA Noire, Nicholson Electroplating (arson case), releases next week. Today, Rockstar Games has released a trailer for it, and it definitely seems pretty action packed! From what I gather from the trailer, a huge explosion happened at the factory, messing up a few city blocks, while leaving 17 people dead, and Howard Hughes , of all people, has something to do with the case. Remember, if you purchased the Rockstar Pass ($9.99), you get this DLC (as well as the other stuff and another upcoming case) for free!
