Remedy just discussed their main aim with the Max Payne Remake and their close partnership with Rockstar Games. We're in a unique position with these Max Payne remakes.
Max Payne was so amazing. I don’t knwo why, but I totally loved the atmosphere. Night, cold, desperation, drug lords, bullet time, comic strips, music, fast gunplay, it all made such a wholesome package. (The only part I really disliked was the dream passage where you had tu run through darkness on thin red lines, that was PITA.)
I fear remake will lose some aspects that made Max Payne what it was. Replace comics with cut scenes and it would not be the same game. Replace dark, grim, shadowy graphics with modern flashy ray traced lightning awesomeness and it surely would look good, but it wouldn’t be the Max. Replace fast paced shooting tempo with more cover based or just differently paced approach and yet again, it wouldn’t be the same game. Etc.

Maybe they will keep the dark, grim, shadowy graphics and the fast paced shooting.
