You'll still be able to do those slow-motion dives, but you can actually stay on the ground until you've stopped firing. Your first firefight will be different as well, thanks to some adjustments in Bullet Time. Puddles of water give accurate reflections of their surroundings. You can knock things over like chairs, stools, boxes. A lot of animation has been motion-captured. Close-ups of faces are remarkably realistic. You'll notice some immediate improvements over the original as the scene opens at a city hospital. Along for the ride are our old friends Chief Bravura, Vladimir Lem, Vinnie Gognitti, Mona Sax, and a couple others, but I don't want to give too much away. Unfortunately, he couldn't be more wrong, and he will end up tumbling through another long rabbit hole into a Wonderland of mayhem and drama at least equal to what he waded through many years before. He thinks his past is behind him when he responds to a police dispatch regarding shots fired at an old warehouse. He is still a haunted man, now living in a hole-in-the-wall, run-down apartment and back to working for the NYPD. Yet although Max found some closure, the years have not been kind. The eponymous hero wreaked bloody vengeance upon the corporation responsible for the murders of his wife and daughter, but Max was painted as a hero thanks to a powerful man named Alfred Woden, the head of an inner circle of Illuminati-type power players. When the original Max Payne came out in 2001, it was hailed for its storytelling, visuals, and gritty noir setting.
