Its only day 1 of GDC and already some exciting news has been broken. Max Payne 3 coming to 360/PS3/PC this winter – AWESOME and AT&T has almost confirmed the announcement of a new iPhone coming in June 09.
Max Payne 1 & 2 were both awesome games and whilst the movie sucked ass MASSIVELY, the prospect of returning to Max’s world in a gaming environment fills us with excitement. Question is, how will Max survive in today’s game space? Simply having the bullet time effect is not enough now. It’s been done too many times in other games, not to mention in 2 previous Max Payne titles. We’ll be keeping a very close eye on this game as we look forward to the snowy bit of the year when the game will finally be on store shelves.
Moving on, I want an iPhone (as I announced on last week’s podcast) and the fact that Apple will probably be making a new one available this year means suddenly I want one a lot sooner than I thought I would. In reality I will not end up getting one at release, but I can feel pretty confident when I say that we’ll be treated to record breaking sales again for this device, just as we were for the 2 previous iterations of it.
iPhone and iPod Touch have both established themselves as serious gaming platforms and with the recent announcement from Apple themselves of firmware 3.0 and big name franchises like Metal Gear Solid and Time Crisis moving onto the portable device things are looking hyper rosey (and mega stylish) for the makers of the world’s coolest mobile.
If this is what the first half of day 1 has brought us, wtf will we be like by the end of the week?

GDC has come and gone and lots of interesting announcements were made. We’ll take a look at the best of those. Plus a round-up of the games we’ve been playing and an interesting discussion about Nintendo’s evergreen sofware range and why the rest of the industry should also be trying to get in on that.
