Max Payne Remake teasers in Alan Wake 2. You can't convince me that the devs didn't know exactly what they were doing when they had Sam Lake wear an outfit highly similar to that of Max Payne's in Max Payne 2; voiced by James McCaffrey; with lines exactly like what Max would say, as well as the billboards containing Max Payne meta like "Hardboiled" and "A Cold Day In Hell" - the title of a chapter in Max Payne.
Yes I'm hyped for the Max Payne Remakes how can you tell ?
Disclaimer: Remedy and Epic Games gave me a copy of Alan Wake 2. However this in no way affects my content or hype for Max Payne.
2:49 - does the music fit or what? Don't answer that. A rhetorical question. "In one world there's a writer who wrote a story about a cop. in another world, the cop was real" - Dylan (in Control)
Is that music actually in the game? Because I started laughing like a hyena when I heard it 😂
2:49 ? I thought it was at 3:10
@@genoveus yeah but the scene starts at 2:49
@@hawkins347I don't think so lol, that would be too on the nose for them haha
That depends on who's asking..
RIP James McCaffrey, your awesome voice will never be forgotten :(
It broke me too. A suckerpunch. I hope they did the dialogue before his passing
@@trteeerryfse-wy2ww im also sadded by his passing really enjoy James McCaffery voice overs
Looks like we wont get a Max Payne remaster then since he passed away Rest In Peace Max Payne
@ShiroColdkeyesTheHedgehog I can't see Sam doing them without McCaffrey honestly
But was the voice recordings done before he died? @@diabolicwaste
Voiced my favourite video game character of all time Max Payne, Thank you for the memories James. Rest in peace.
I just heard the news I’m actually shocked and sad right now
REST IN GREATNESS
This was a shock. Did not know until reading the comments and then went immediately to confirm. God... If there are any remakes to be made, they gotta use those old voice files. McCaffery was Payne. I just can't believe it...
@@Vladimirlives13agreed they CANNOT do this without his voice .. I wouldn't be the same they need to look for those old Files
Wait...what??
Let's be real if he was actually Max Payne he would've shrugged off that gutshot and downed some painkillers
And proceeds to kung Fu out of him
@@Aggro224 Nah he'd just down some painkillers and dive through the air in slowmo
@@Aggro224The real Max Payne survived a point blank headshot from a desert eagle, and still came back for more, I think he’d be good.
@@SilentSnake1998I think that was just bad writing, surviving a 50 cal point blank is reaching way too far
@@PieroMinayaRojas True, but I’d count it because it’s somehow both badass and hilarious at the same time. I guess Max is a magician on the battlefield (which would actually explain a lot now that I think about it)
Hopefully the Max Payne remasters will use this character model and voice. The Sam Lake look and McCaffery’s voice is a match made in heaven.
They’re more than remasters. Full fledged remakes.
I actually prefer James McCaffrey's look in Max Payne 3. I love Sam Lake, but especially here, he looks more like he should play Mr Scratch - a psycho.
@@michacieslak2346 James McCaffrey made Max Payne 3 in every way. In Alan Wake 2, he sounds "a bit" like Max in MP3. I'm so torn between having the Sam Lake looks or James McCaffrey looks, but I wouldn't be disappointed either way and we always get the voice.
*remakes get it right
i really didn't like what rockstar did on max payne 3, the character really didn't look nor feel like max payne at all after 2, i'd say, even the max payne of max payne 2 started to depart from the original design too.
RIP James McCaffery, the legendary voice of Max Payne 😔
Man, I love James McCaffrey's voice so damn much
Perfect detective raspy voice 😂
Really? To me, he sounds like he's trying too hard.
seems you kinow nothing about him....@@fireprooff9922
@@fireprooff9922nope
@@yann2850_ Trying too hard to sound manly, cold, and cool. Take Kevin Conroy (RIP), for example. When he voices Batman he sounds deep, cold, cool, and manly but he doesn't really try to. He's just a guy talking. That's why he was a legend.
Absolutely heartbroken from the loss of James McCaffrey. He played Max Payne, Thomas Zane, Zachariah Trench and Alex Casey. His work influenced my love of video games for the past 20 years. Rest in Peace to a legend!
This is the last we'll hear of James Mccaffrey. rest in peace.
RIP James McCaffrey 1958-2023 The OG VA of Max Payne and Alan Wake and Also Control. Things won't be the same without your Iconic voice in the world of Video Games.
Well that explains why i loved both game so much hes just good at reading lengthy dialog and doing it well
My god is this rough, I was watching and learned of James Mcaffery’s passing, and being so invested, I’m going to miss him and his art.
Me too man..im so sad about this one RIP KING
Same I've tried not to watch anything from Alan Wake 2 id rather not be spoiled but I couldn't help myself and the Sam Lake model Max Payne brought so many memories of Max Payne back. It sounds lame but I did actually get chills hearing and seeing Max Payne in all his new gen glory Rest in Peace James Mcaffery.
this is gonna age like wine, if the cutscenes are like that in Max Payne (since both games are becoming one big seamless project, then I'd have to say this is Remedy's magnum opus)
Love how the green light gives the V Drug effect from Max Payne series
Exactly
They used the exact same effect in all character cutscenes of Control. Safe to say at this point that all the games are connected.
"I was a Lake to a Writer." Funny as hell, it was the most horrible thing I can think.
PLEASE MAKE MAXPAYNE LIKE THIS AGAIN.
No, young model of Sam for the remake.
Remedy IS remaking the first 2 Max Payne games so just wait
@@sh0ryualfa393will it have lakes face model?
@@ashtoncrosby3517 ask the devs since they're the ones remaking the game, not me.
No my friend…it’s gonna be better. Remedy even said in a recent interview. Alan Wake 2 was in development since 2019, the Max Payne remakes development started back in 2021 with more advanced tech being applied, it’s gonna look better than this and it’s going to be 1&2 combined into one game and it’s gonna be they’re longest game in story completion.
RIP James McCaffrey. Your work as Max Payne was tremendous and you will be forever remembered as one of the most iconic voices in the game industry.
" It was all my fault and i had this dark place in my head for so long " Our classic Payne for sure.
"sometimes i forgot the PAIN was there" that zoom in 😂
Im hyped for Max Payne 1 and 2 remake
But doesn't rockstar still hold the rights?
@@wile123456 They made a deal, google it.
@@wile123456 they had a deal. so Remedy has permission to work on its remake now. wish they will follow it with a story reboot plus an actual MP2 sequel. unlike the MP3 we got that feels different than Remedy's max payne
They said they are done according to take 2 and rockstar.. So remedy take it..@@wile123456
I hope we get Max Payne 3 remastered or something. That game still holds up incredibly well. I just wish i could play it on modern consoles.
Seeing this brings me back to when I first played Max Payne. Hearing James McCaffrey's voice, seeing Sam Lake's face in a modern video game and hearing the Original Max Payne Theme is just fucking awesome!! I'm even more hyped for Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake!!!
if you notice, it has the facial model from max payne 1 (clearly you noticed) but it also has Max's outfit from Max Payne 2.
Agreed. It's blatantly implied it's Max Payne
I know Alex Casey is meta satire for Max Payne, but I love the Sam Lake look for him. Alex Casey's look gives a pretty good idea of how Max would look in 3. He looks like your average guy, but he also looks somewhat unsettling and unhinged due to his family tragedy. It's interesting because Sam Lake's facial expressions in 1 are hilarious, and he is very friendly and wholesome in real life. The animators did a great job making Sam look badass and creepy. This is coming from a guy who has not played any Max Payne or Alan Wake games yet.
well... you need to play max payne :)
Definitely.
@@QuothTheRavenclaw11 the max payne fan base is pretty rabid but yeah max payne is such a good game for it's atmosphere, story telling and gunplay even.
@@AFGuidesHD why is it rabid bro?
@@vishaldev1646 because we really like it and demand that everyone plays it 😅
The music at the end " The late Goodbye" from Max Payne 2 just got me, so many memories, I will play max games today ✨
first of 300 comments to mention the outro music
I love this song "Poets of the Fall - Late Goodbye" it has really Max Payne 2 atmosphere and I'm glad thet Remedy pick this one for the soundtrack of the game. The best is when Mona singin it in the shower, or the cleaner plaing it on the piano. I love Remedy games, they are so atmospheric @@AFGuidesHD
@@eRkoSongs me too, I wish they did a full version of this piano version. They did actually make one but its not quite as good as the cleaner's version lol kzhead.info/sun/e9FtnJ18ooqDqIk/bejne.html
Glad to see the voice actor's still got it
Max Paynes VA was in Control as well.
not anymore... 😞
@@arthurmorgan2906 🥃🚬☹
@@TheCakeIsNotLie it's like losing a friend who always understood my melancholic nature. I really hope they do the remake properly with his voice somehow. It's a core of that game/character. But I really thought he would see the remakes happening. It's enough my father didn't live to see it/play it and now this...
Watching this after hearing about James McCaffrey. Rest in Peace😢
Yeah, R.I.P.
Rest in peace James McCaffrey. You were the video game voice god of film noir.
im glad to hearing James McCaffrey Max Payne,Control,Alan Wake 1:)
It's always great to see something the fans want lol.
R.I.P. James McCaffrey, thank you for the voice of Max Payne…
This is amazing when I played Max Payne I absolutely loved it and this is what I imagine of a remaster/remake of Max Payne
The only level I hated was the nightmare where you had to follow the blood stream. I kept falling off the map.
@@twobighams :D I feel you
Fun Fact: Alex was the best friend and partner in Max Payne 1 game. While Max Payne was declared AWOL from NYPD, Alex was helping Max Payne to track down the Valkyrie druglords.
But Alex got killed in roscoe infront of Max 😢
Not the same Alex
That’s Alex baldur. His character is a separate thing, meant as a imitation of baldur from Norse mythology, who’s death begins ragnarok, a fight between the gods/ apocalypse. Alex’s death is a preface to the events of the game and sets everything in motion
i'm so heartbroken by his passing, he surely will never be forgeten This man's voice was Gold could not get a better voice for max RIP James
3:43 the camera angle going upwards is like the death cam when Max dies in the old games, slowly moving upwards aiming at his body
NO WAY THEY PLAYED THE MAX PAYNE MUSIC IN THAT SCENE. I haven't reached that part yet OMFG
3:09 Man I miss hearing this music of Max Payne
This is so insane and very surreal to see a crossover between Alan Wake and Max Payne. After all it is taken place in the same universe, and it’s official that Remedy is remaking their first game. That theme song really brought such nostalgia.
They don't take place in the same universe because Rockstar own the Max Payne IP and character (they paid Remedy a ton of money back around 2001/02 to buy the rights, then hired them to make Max Payne 2 and the money they made from that project they used to make Alan Wake 1), so they'd have to pay Rockstar a bunch of money to reuse the character. What they've done instead is create a very, very similar character whom they can use instead. They do the same thing with Quantum Break, at least two characters from that game show up in Alan Wake 2, one played by the original actor, the other by a different actor giving a similar performance (the original actor sadly passed away a few months ago), but they give them different names because Microsoft own the rights to Quantum Break. But they do say they have different names and appearances in different times and places, so you get the idea.
@@adamwhitehead7289yeah. I sometimes forget that Rockstar owned the Max Payne IP from them. But it’s nice to see that Remedy still care about their old game, and seeing Sam Lake as a Max Payne reference really brings that old memories back as a kid.
@@adamwhitehead7289 You're right, but don't forget that Remedy Entertainment are in fact currently remaking Max Payne 1 and 2 into one game. It was confirmed last year and the website updated a few weeks ago to clarify that it's not fake and that they have a new development agreement deal with Rockstar just for this IP.
@@Mankey619fret not, rockstar actually funded the upcoming Max Payne 1 & 2 and will most likely be published by r* as they focus on GTAVI
Officially it's Remedy's second game. :)
Покойся с миром, Джеймс Маккефри! Rest in peace James McCaffrey! 🙏
Either they remaster the first 2 games of Max Payne or adapt it for a live action movie. Max Payne is a cult classic and it deserves to be loved for generations , I wanna see a remake with this engine for the first game , a retro New York in a Noir Setting with blue filter!!!
www.remedygames.com/games/max-payne-1-2-remake www.remedygames.com/article/remedy-enters-agreement-with-rockstar-for-new-max-payne-1-2-project
They’ve also already made a live action movie based on the first game, although it was garbage. I was obsessed with this game when it came out, I was only 10 years old. Max Payne is still 🔥 to this day. Can’t wait for the remakes of 1/2.
The first game was more of an unexpected hit. Especially in Asia, most people who owned a computer had played Max Payne 1. Max Payne 2 however is a good case of a cult hit, it failed to advertise properly and was too short to justify it’s price (According to many people)
@@DendritesAugustus strange really that it was a failure financially. i remember the hype when i was in school. everyone waited for max payne 2 , everyone played and everyone loved it. we showed each other our screenshots of cool bullet time shit...it was a big improvement, better gameplay, better story, best graphics in gaming and it was greatly optimised even for very so so PC i had at the time. max payne 2 - is still the best memories from any game i have ever played.
They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark on everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger, and it was over.
We're gonna miss you James McCaffrey
"I was not in a dark place. I was the dark place." Max Payne
2:49 CHILLS 🥹🥹🥹 The theme gives this scene a special feel when you know James McCaffrey has passed away. 💔
RIP James McCaffrey 🙏
Seeing Max again is so awesome
Dude, the face Lake made at 1:04 is beyond question, absolutely un-fucking-hinged and I’ve found myself both laughing at it and genuinely being unsettled by it 😂😅 Bravo Sam.
SAME HAHAHH
😂😂😂 Hahahahah
"Sometimes I'd forget the pain was there. Like it was the way you were supposed to feel" in a diffrent world yet he's still saying real shit
Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if Sam ends up coming back as Max Payne’s face model for the remakes in development.
I hope that's what will happen.
@@MetalJody1990 I honestly hope they do James justice and have him as the default model, but have Sam's face as an alternate fully animated skin for when you beat the game on like a higher difficulty.
In Max Payne 3. They gave us a chance to use alternate costumes including Sam Lake Max. Hopefully they add both James McCaffrey and Sam Lake Max as costumes.
@@munanchoinc costume is cool but i want Sam as Max here (as much as i love Max Payne 2 actor). Remake will absolutely be super heavy on motion capture, photography and acting. Don't think they will make two options. I vote for Sam Lake. The most iconic Max Payne. He is Max Payne.
I mean they already scanned his likeness and modeled it
James Mcaffrey is one of those iconic voices you hear from time to time and can always identify it. It's criminal that he isn't in more games or shows.
May he now rest in piece though 😢
yea, bad timing :(@@Catinkontti
Today was a devastating day and huge loss Rip to the myth the legend and the payne himself. 🕊️James mccaffrey🕊️ This is the late goodbye….
RIP legend, always be the coolest cop in the police department...
Sam Lake's character model combined with James McCaffrey voice is such a good combo. I hope the Max Payne remakes have them both.
Think there's a good chance that the combo is used for both the story of Max Payne 1 and 2 since the remake is combining both into 1 narrative.
@@montecristosmith2343 Oh really? I thought they were just doing 1, I didn't realize they're combing 1+2 into one narrative. That's awesome!
Can't have both anymore.

A remake of the original Max Payne game(s) with these kinda graphics would be insane!
we only have to wait!
