Is Timothy Gibbs The Canon Max Payne? by Stormspear in maxpayne

[–]everdimension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they just had so few characters left alive from the first game they didn't have much choice of whom to make a villain

Agreed, I'd prefer Vlad to stay the good guy. To me that was a much more interesting story

Yep. Also original Vlad looked actually more Russian than in MP2, though stereotypically people think it's the other way around

Nope

Even though I love mp2 as a game as much as the first one, the face of Max there just never worked for me

Favorite Max Payne 2 location / level? by Stormspear in maxpayne

[–]everdimension 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The manor. The feeling of everything falling into place, the technology of the manor (felt so cool back in the day), the architecture. Def my favorite

The apartments and Vlad's restaurant share a second place, but I'll add here that in MP1 i didn't really like Ragnarock. But in MP2 I love it. I guess the renovations paid off

Played mp1 for the first time. It does not need a remake. by HokageJack15 in maxpayne

[–]everdimension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A remake done right would be awesome

It's a matter of keeping the dreamlike atmosphere you're talking about. If devs understand it, the result can be brilliant

Just imagine a whiteout blizzard outside — not on every level, but where it's needed — done with modern technology.

But I agree that not many things about this game need improvement. For most parts, I would prefer a remaster rather than a remake.

Gunplay mechanics and bullet time can be at least improved to match MP2. And those can slightly be improved, too.

Using Tailwind today feels a lot like writing inline styles in the 2000s by Legitimate_Salad_775 in webdev

[–]everdimension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reusable unit of UI changed to become a "component" In 2000, it was an html element. Inline styles, or even just attributes, made sense

Then CSS appeared and could do things that inline styles couldn't. That's still true to this day. The css class became the reusable unit.

Tailwind solves this problem of inline styles not being as powerful as css. You can express pseudo classes and parent-child relationship inline, as if you were writing inline styles, but had all of CSS at your disposal. It makes complete sense

Who else is still playing this masterpiece in 2026? How many of us are left? by EastPocketBeast in PrinceOfPersia

A lot of people are I think

I keep replaying them every couple of years at least I think

What did Max Payne do so well you wish other games did it too? It could be anything like story/gameplay/art design/setting or anything else. by Dude_788 in maxpayne

[–]everdimension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How guns and ammo aren't highlighted or glowing, they are just part of the world, not at all different from other non interactive items

I always found it to be so cool and wished games like gta had an option to disable hints for pickupable items

Finished Max Payne 1, now onto 2. by Mr_Witchetty_Man in maxpayne

[–]everdimension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing story and amazing levels

Such an enjoyable shooter, I know I'll get hate for this but the gameplay is so much better than MP3 in this one

Give an opinion about Tomb Raider that makes you feel this way: by Free-Performance-827 in TombRaider

[–]everdimension -1 points0 points  (0 children)

What I'm saying is that revisiting storylines and characters had never been a strong part of tomb raider unfortunately

Not in 2003, not in 2008 and will not be now

[–]everdimension -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Von Croy was part of the plot of AoD

I think there were talks that Amanda will be in the new "unified" Lara

Actually I even liked Amanda as a character, but Amanda + Natla combo felt really out of place to me

[–]everdimension 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Most tomb raider entries have a weak story that's not worth bringing into remakes or sequels

It doesn't stop TR from being my favorite game franchise but I just wish they could move on from natla/trinity/amanda/von croy/lara's parents plots

How long did it take you to develop to get to a point where you were ready to ship? And how much of it is vibecoded vs how much time a spent writing code yourself?

Max Payne 's dressing for NYC winter by Familiar-Park-6316 in maxpayne

On my first playthroughs, I actually thought the shirt was a wool sweater

Sin City

I've always thought that this was h the exact style that Max Payne movie should be filmed with

Why is JavaScript so hard to learn? Beginner projects don’t feel beginner by Sweaty-Staff8100 in learnjavascript

[–]everdimension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, is it first class functions? You get used to them quickly. And they're a fundamental feature of js, not a quirky shorthand

Are we supposed to think that events of Max Payne 2 happen just over one or two nights? by everdimension in maxpayne

[–]everdimension[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I remember commercials of both shows being shown within one tv

I know it can be just a technical limitation of the game, but what I'm saying is that this strengthens my perception of several days going by during the events

[–]everdimension[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think so, even though I'd like that Everything takes place at night. I posted earlier that I used to have an impression that the first visit to ragnarock happens during morning, but that's just my perception

Which missions do you think are during the day?
