Rockstar Games, creators of the popular Grand Theft Auto game series, has announced that they will be releasing Max Payne Mobile on iOS next week. There will also be an Android version coming out later in the month.
It appears that Max Payne Mobile will be a port of the classic Max Payne PC, fully optimized for iOS and Android, with HD graphics, high-resolution textures, Social Club connectivity, and customizable controls.
For those unfamiliar with the game, here is the description from the original 2001 release:
Max Payne is a man with nothing to lose--a fugitive undercover cop framed for murder, and now hunted by the cops and the mob. As Payne, you'll uncover plot twists, engage in dramatic "bullet-time" firefights with thugs, and fight your way through an unforgiving New York blizzard. Max can wield a variety of weapons including pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, grenades, and Molotov cocktails. Prepare yourself for an involving story combined with slick action.One of Max Payne's bigger gameplay features is "bullet-time," which is Max's ability to "slow" time and become hyper-aware of the action at hand (think: "The Matrix" or "Wanted"). It'll be interesting to see if there are any iOS-specific gameplay elements added to this release. Max Payne Mobile will be available in the App Store on April 12. At the moment, there is no word on pricing, but as always, we'll keep you posted.
