Thanks, tho I could afford a newer console or more powerful pc if I really wanted to but I don't really care for modern games :P and I don't want to throw a working pc to trash either. I realize it's not the same situation for everyone, but gladly people are hardly missing out on anything, rather it's a miracle if the remakes are significantly better than the originals. They _can_ be as good or better as the original, it's just a slim chance.

Thank you and there is overlap because enemies in MP1 have more health and don't fall on their backs if you jump on them. It was actually a real simple animation fix to make them stand up instead.

Ps. My comment on yt about this mod got hidden for some reason, I saw you saw it and responded to it but well yt sometimes does that.

Kind of hard to say.

I made a new difficulty based action mod with some similar ideas but better and just less needlessly complex. It's close enough in spirit so I just use the same mod page but it's not an update to the original, which is not supported anymore btw tho it's probably functional.

This is the first mod I know of which actually skips all the dragging sections and graphic novels if you want to play just for the action sequences. I also skipped Mona levels altogether, I just don't think it would be fun in the context of this mod to keep shooting/sniping endlessly at the enemies while escorting Max.

I will be playing this instead of the official remake coming probably in late 2025 or early 2026.

Edit: Just a disclaimer, not trying to be mean or sarcastic here, I will legit not be likely to own a PS5 or a powerful PC when the remakes release and will just watch them on youtube lol.

Nice to see you included this level :)

Google translator says:
"Modification for Max Payne 2 in Russian. This mod turns me, an ardent fan of the game, into a playable character. The fashion contains new weapons, models, sounds, music and most importantly COMICS with me. P.S. I'm not a professional in Photoshop, much less modding, but I did the best I could."

I guess the whole mod is in Russian then but I don't know, didn't download just to play as someone else xD

No, I meant that possibly as early as 2016 you predicted it will be released in 2025. Even back in 2020 it seemed like 2025 is in distant future and now it's right around the corner :P

I like how the 2025 release date might come true when they predicted/promised it in 2016 or so.

I see JC Denton in the picture that's cool.

Lol okay I hope it only sucks because boredom and not much abuse.

No, I only used some MP remastered textures for level remakes.

Okay was kind of curious, but take your time. I read the comments there used to be some download earlier tho.

Do you develop this for your personal use only or when will you release?

I answered you here Moddb.com

This is quite uncanny valley xP

It is possible if someone wants to do it, but I don't really do character modeling myself.

Hi if you want to help, try importing the Max Payne 3 Sam Lake model (the one published in 2023) into Max Payne 2 engine (so it can be used with this mod later). Other than that there are no active plans (or group) in this project at the moment.

Hi again. You need to put the "data" folder in your case to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Max Payne 2 The Fall of Max Payne" folder, the same one where the Max Payne 2 exe and the mod mp2m file are. The FPS mode and MP2 music folders are different ones. To disable the changes rename or remove the "data" folder.

It functions in a way that the "data" folder overrides the stuff that the mod has when you launch the game so you don't have to make a big mod file for every small thing.

Can't say anything about the MP3 mods because I have only played the game on consoles.

In this case it was easy to change the music files back to Max Payne 2 ones. Changed the main menu and game over theme back too and muted the graphic novel MP1 music. Here's a download link, it works the same way as the FPS mode "data" folder:
Fastupload.io

I didn't play thru the game with it but I don't think I missed anything big, might try it out later.

Never tried playing on PC with those different controllers, interesting stuff.

Ok I mean kind of obvious that it would but I felt like posting that question because of too little sleep lol.. but that's cool, haven't seen a riot shield done before in MP2.

Thanks and I think plenty of other people do too.

Can you actually use the riot shield seen in the newest video to block bullets?

Yeah I watched your videos and the audio cuts off in more than one video if I recall correctly.

About the other games, I have never really played any Half-Life games but I remember downloading some Deus Ex mods from this site and enjoying them.

Cool stuff, subscribed.

Do you mean like a physical board game?

I was thinking about MP1 levels and Max should more often have some backup even if he's a lone wolf personality. They fixed this in MP2 as he often does have Mona with him or random guys in most of the levels. When they do the official remake I guess they will do something like this, especially the Part 2 where Vlad is okay with Max going to the Ship and the Manor alone and doesn't give Max any soldiers with him to increase changes of success.

About some nightmare levels, I think the Second Vodka and UES levels could be changed around like this Warehouse level, maybe set a different starting point like in the middle of level so it becomes shorter.

I currently prefer this forum format to respond to people actually, don't even have a discord at the moment but maybe in future. But you can DM me here if you don't want to share mod ideas to everyone.

I have seen it and yeah why not if someone is up to the task. I don't do character modeling.

Yeah I saw it before, nice one.

What other ideas do you have in your mind.

Max Payne levels are extremely scripted almost every step of the way so there's that, you can only break so many sequences and still finish the level but it can be done as seen by speedrunners. I think you could still make some mods where your starting point in an existing level is different (like you would start in the middle and go towards the end from there), that would be pretty easy to change.

Yes.

Not really because I renamed it to bring attention to the first update in +3 years and make it clear that this is the latest full version, also the previous title was more awkward like "1.01 level pack" lol I was anxious to change it.
