Max Payne 3 from Rockstar is due for release in March, following two previous titles developed by Remedy Entertainment. Despite now being in completely new hands, the team at Remedy is really pleased with how the game is shaping up.

Speaking to Kotaku on how he feels about what Rockstar has done with Max Payne, Remedy’s head of franchise development Oskari “Ozz” Hakkinen said it’s “brilliant”.

“We absolutely love what they’ve done and couldn’t be more proud of where the series is headed,” he added.

“I mean, they don’t really make s****y games, do they? It’s as if the Rockstar logo has become this, ‘Seal of quality.'”

Max Payne 3 will be released for Xbox 360, PS3, and PC on March 16 2012.

Hakkinen is true about there being this Rockstar seal of quality, but that hasn’t always been the case. You only have to cast your eye back to Manhunt 2 to see how things can go very wrong.
