New Max Payne trailer explores design, technology, and gratuitous face-shooting

[VAMS id="06YLh6boj84Mv"]

Did you know that each slow-mo shot Max Payne fires into some poor thug's kneecap is worth 347 hours of hard development labor? No? Me neither, because I just made that up. Based on the way the above trailer's disarmingly calm disembodied voice describes the animation system, though, I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. The end result? Max twists and pirouettes through the air like a blood-soaked ballerina. It looks pretty glorious, honestly.
