It's not a scan.

http://gameinformer.com/News/Story/200906/N09.0609.1800.43633.htm

And info?

According to early, still rumored details from the mag, Max Payne 3 will move the series to Sao Paulo, Brazil, featuring a paunchier, balder, more heavily bearded Payne. The game is said to take place more than a decade after Max Payne 2, but the middle-aged pot-bellied Payne hasn't lost his penchant for "bullet time" slow-motion action over the years. That mechanic is reportedly still intact.

Another rumored update is that Max Payne 3 will feature some sort of multiplayer component. We'll have to wait until the newest issue of Game Informer arrives at the office to learn more.

Ah, I can't wait for this. He may not look constipated, but he looks like one old bad ass!

It takes place a decade after the original game, so I guess he would look older anyway.

Epic...this is some awesome news...I'm glad they changed it, because otherwise it would feel like they were just milking the story. People grow older, they change in appearance, why would he be different? What a great pair of games, and I am certain this will be just as fantastic. I wonder what will be his driving force this time, or is he still on the same mission. Judging by his looks, it's not likely he hooked up with and lost another beautiful wife!

He's really not fat. He's got a gut, but he has a lot of muscle there. Look at those veins in the arms.

Old, fat, and bald. Good job Rockstar. At least when Snake got old he arguably looked more bad-ass than before.

I played through Max Payne this weekend, started the second one yesterday, and the finished it a couple of hours ago. You could tell me just about anything related to Max Payne 3 right now, and I would be pumped. My only requirement is that the pseudo-philosophical metaphorical musings remain intact. :)

What did you think of the gameplay? I picked it up last week as well and although the story has been really interesting so far, the actual game is pretty boring.

The original was fine for its time, but on my recent playthrough, I've realized that the gameplay hasn't aged to well. I mean, I found myself playing just to see the story unfold, and not for the gameplay itself. Luckily the second has faired a little better since I last played it, but even it is showing it's age.

Thats what I thought, at first I thought it was very generic but now I realize that most shooters these days have probably copyed and perfected Max Paynes gameplay.

I guess because he's not super slim people say he has a gut. He's buff with a touch of average Joe, lol. I'll just miss playing as the old Max.

I really don't know what to think of this right now. One side of me is saying that the disgruntled look adds on to his badassness and possibly could add on to character development, and the other side is saying that he's too much of a damn wreck to be the Max Payne I remember.

Yeah, I know what you mean. By the end of it though, I got pretty used to it, so it didn't bother me as much. You should definitely stick with it to see the whole story, it's worth it. :)
