Interested in the game though, will buy it for $20 on steam -_-
Haven't seen anything of the story or writing that's convinced me. Never bought a Rockstar game at full price because of the eventual disappointment, so might check it out on Steam £20 like Mafia 2. But hey, if you're a big shooter fan, it looks pretty good in that aspect.
I've seen enough of this to realise that it won't have that at all.

Also the gameplay stuff they have shown so far looks really really nice, and in the end that is all that matters!

Dan Houser is a talented writer though, I'll give him that.

OH GOT IT'S THE LAKE HOUSE PLOT
I wouldn't miss out on it just because the original developers aren't working out on it though; I'm not that petty, and I don't care that much for Remedy. I would 'miss out' on it because it doesn't look to be worth my money as a Max Payne game. It's easy enough to judge it as a standalone title, but you can't just dismiss the fact that it's meant to be part of a series. And to me, at the moment, it just seems a little generic.
Seriously, I wouldn't give a shit who was developing it if it retained the same magic as the old games. But it's obvious that it's a different developer - and not in a good way.
The first 2 games were great and still hold up pretty well. But in terms of characters, narrative & dialog I always found them pretty hokey. Kind of like a "good" Steven Seagal movie.
And I still find Max Payne's voice actor pretty dull. But I don't know how, if you liked the previous MP games, this game doesn't look brilliant.
Even if you don't like the direction, it should be a blast to play through.
In any case, the narrative is still great in those games. Better than this in what I've seen so far.
My main concern is primarily with the writing. The monologue's we've heard so far are nowhere near as good as the older games.
