So after finishing max payne3 (fucking great)(ending too)) i decided to reply Max payne 2 and its fucking awesome as it was back in 2005. It hasn't aged one bit. And remedy is remedy.
While MP3 is great game, remedy games have that distinct feel to them.
Have anyone replayed max payne games recently ? (second one)
There is still no widescreen fix? I am playing on 1280x960 and black sides. Thats highest 4:3 res there was to choose.
What does texture sharpness do in INGAME options ?
How does autoaim works? I've noticed it is "on" by default in ingame options.
took screenshots of it with low, medium, high slider
Spoiler:
Basicly. Do I want any mods or graphical fixes or something? I last played the game like 5 years ago and I am not up to date.

Replayed Max Payne 1&2 a week or two ago, I didn't remember them being so short, but finished them in about 5 hours each...
No official fix for widescreen monitors and there never will be from remedy since they no longer own the rights for the games but there are some fixes out there, just google it.
Can't vouch for those fixes though, since I'm still using a crt monitor.
Those fixes only do stupid fisheye fov. I am better with black side borders. Nvidia control panel have this really FINALLY working option, gpu scaling and aspect ratio

By then we didnt care about Max Payne 2 anymore. We had FarCry, Pandora Tommorow, & Doom 3
Those were some good years back then with 2003/204/2005 being the best years ever
holy shit Garus.. 2003 ?! it looks damn good for a 9yo game. And I finished it like 10 times back then... oh that time goes.

Yeah. Still kicks as graphically. Which cannot be said about Max Payne 1 released 2 years prior. Impressive how much they managed to improve it in 3 years.
...or how little graphics have improved from 2004 to 2012

What 2005? I remember I was still a sophomore in high school when I played it which was in the fall of 2003
PS. I still remmeber that nude Mona Sax cheat
I used to have to resist the urge to play during my history homework ....
When I was a sophomore in high school, hand held calculators (if you could afford one) were not allowed to assist us with our math homework we had to use slide rules.
And you are saying you had to fight the urge to play computer games....geesh.
im replaying max 1 and 2 atm that i got with the max 3 preorder.
i forced some insane AA options with nvidia inspector and max 1 looks great even today. too bad for the crappy 4:3 resolutions.
im playing 1400x1050 so i only have black bars on the sides. glad this works in nvidia drivers, because without it, its blury and max looks fat and short

glad someone knows how to play old games properly. you wouldn't believe how many people don't notice this when playing old games at wrong aspect ratios on current widescreen monitors.
I am also rocking those games with everything enebled in control panel(like 16xaa and it works! Ssao forcing have no effect tho)
Yes. I found the best solution to keep gpu aspect ratio and create custom 1400x1050. Its basicly native res on 1680x1050 but with black borders. I hate stretched games. Black borders I don't really mind that much.
Man, it have graphics, physics, sound, story everything + no shitty internet activation or painfull drm and mouse feels great.
It proofs that graphics have not changed really that much since 2003. Neither did physics all that much.
It just gets more detailed but I really prefer the clarity of high aa over other stuff. Shame new games barely sport aa on my machine

You know... boxes and barrels and.... physics
I still don't see water and liquids outside tech demos at all.. and performance on most physics showcases is terrible.
For me the pinnacle of phyiscs is GTAIV. intelligent animations!
alll the physx stuff always was huge bullshit which only adds newspapers in arkham city and a lil bit of smoke
Offcourse things have changed silly. Its just not as big of improvement as You would think it should be after almost 10 years.

yeah im a sucker for old games and having them work on win7 64. glad there are many peopel out there always finding out the best stuff for classic oldies, like the max payne 1 soundfix.
This is actually quite cool. yes it looks goofy but it showcases that Every animation in this game is physics driven
