Blogger softrockhallelujah has struck again with more inside Rockstar information. This time on the subject of Max Payne 3, the game many have been waiting for since the end statement in Max Payne 2 credits -- "Max Paynes travel through the night will continue", however much some websites believed it was canceled some of us still hoped. If this information is correct then that hoping is over, and we have won:

Max Payne 3 will see release in either summer or fall of next year for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3

The believed-to-be-canceled game that was at development alongside the previously-believed-to-be-canceled Manhunt 2 at the now-defunct Rockstar Vienna has not been canceled and is currently being developed by an unknown Rockstar studio. Take-Two plans on having one major sequel release from Rockstar each season of next year, with MC:LA for winter, GTAIV for spring, MP3 in either summer or fall....and DNF (Duke Nukem Forever for those who do not like acronyms) in either summer or fall (whichever one that MP3 does not come out in).

Also, Take-Two plans on introducing Bioshock swag, starting with various items featuring the recently-trademarked "Every Man Has a Choice, I Chose the Impossible."

UPDATE: A source close to the title has informed me that Max Payne 3 is being developed for PS3 as well. And another source tells me that the game is being developed in Vancouver.

Now weighting this up, it does add up quiet well really. Also for those who we're unsure on the studio that created the first two, it was not Rockstar Vienna contrary to popular hear-say, it was in fact only ported by Vienna. Remedy made Max Payne 1 & 2, and from what I have heard myself Remedy and Rockstar had a fall-out not long after the release of Max Payne 2, and Remedy stated in '04 that they were not working on Max Payne 3. Chances are it is being worked on in-house by Rockstar by one, or more of it's studios.
