Max Payne 3 Delayed

When publisher/developer Take-Two wasn't busy blaming its Major League Baseball franchises today in its investor report, it slipped in another low blow: the delay of Rockstar's Max Payne 3.

The game, developer by Rockstar Vancouver, was originally scheduled to come out in some unspecified time in early 2010, but now the title is coming out in the fall.

Max Payne 3 retains the series noir outlook, but dramatically changes its setting; putting Max in the favelas, or slums, of Sao Paulo. That's not the only change, as Max himself is older and more grizzled than ever. For more on the game, check out our cover story in issue 195.
