  Hopefully “closely” doesn’t mean additional launcher, paid cosmetics and such.

  Unless they make Max Payne in the likeness of Sam Lake, I don’t want it.

    Sami loves being in his games so I don't doubt they will do that.

      Well, Rockstar did Max Payne 3 dirty on this, but AFAIK Remedy and Sam Lake weren’t involved. Remedy did use Sam likeness in Alan Wake, so you might be right.

    They already walked back on it in Max Payne 2, which made me irrationally upset at the time. But in Alan Wake 1/2 the Max Payne stand-in Alex Casey had Sam Lake’s face again… so, maybe?

    I’m more worried about how they’ll approach James McCaffrey’s passing. He is Max Payne, but I feel like they will recast him out of sheer necessity (unless they really just stick slavishly to the originals and give them a fresh coat of paint).

  Fuck Rockstar. I changed my email accounts but forgot to change Rockstar first. Now, after buying GTA V on Xbox and Steam and sinking a lot of time into it over two accounts, they added some mandatory launcher on Steam that forces you to login to their Social Club. Mandatory launcher calls an account that I can’t unlink, triggers mandatory 2FA to an email that doesn’t exist. The cunts refuse to help despite my willingly handing over a lot of private information - their support system is as good as fake. The end result is I have sank >£100 in buying their games and they ensure that not only do I not get to continue my account on GTA V, but I have been permanently locked out and actually impossible to play any Rockstar Social - walled game on Steam.

  I just hope the price point is reasonable. I think 30 for the original RDR remake is steep.
