It'll be interesting to see how a linear shooter from back then would translate to today's time. Would it be more like Last of Us where each encounter is thrilling and tense, or would it be like Max Payne 3/Uncharted 4 where you move from one level to another with a moving plot line?

I am curious how they'd translate it myself, I recall the first game vividly as new and thinking it was awesome. Though I assume the next game wouldn't be marketed for me either. An updated drug scene would be interesting, haven't had a good one since one of the Batman games. I probably missed some drug sequences but Max Payne's was pretty effed up at the time.

It's hard to imagine "tense" action with how goofy the enemies act, so I guess the second option sounds better? I've never played Max Payne 3 or Uncharted 4, so I don't really know exactly what you mean.

Me too. Max Payne 3 is like the previous entries, just a bit more focus on close range corridor shooting with cover mechanics. Similar to previous entries but with a very stylized story telling.
