Max Payne 3 Producer's Harrowing Visit To Sao Paulo
See Full ImageMan, what producers sometimes have to do for a project...
If you didn't already know, Rockstar's Max Payne 3 is set in Sao Paulo, which is appropriate, as it's a gritty and dangerous place. And of course, with Rockstar's patented attention to detail, they had to actually go to the city in question.
And that's where the "fun" began for one of the game's producers, Lazlow Jones. He visited the Opie and Anthony Show on Sirius XM Satellite Radio (as summarized at Original Gamer), and spoke about his adventures in Sao Paulo. It's a great read; the guy needed a bulletproof car because of the amount of money they'd carry about, and kidnapping is apparently a big problem down there. They needed a security consultant, who changed the driver at the last minute due to a "major safety concern." ...oh yes, I'll sleep well at night after that.
Interestingly enough, Lazlow's father was a drug NARC, so he's been used to being aware of his surroundings, which is probably a good thing. It must've been quite the experience and therefore, when you're playing Max Payne 3 in May, just be thankful for the exquisitely designed and realistic city, and be even more thankful your entertainment is fiction.

Ha!!
Tamaulipas, Mexico.
Those that survive here call it Mataulipas or die a day what with all the daily shootouts its no longer even conversation worthy to talk about bullet ridden cars or dead bodies on the street.

Almost everyone's ignored the whole reason for this thread, and I for one, am very thankful that every R* member came back safe & sound
FYI, if what was happening in Sao Pablo was true, then you should all be thanking your lucky stars nothing violent had happened to any of the R* crew or your precious Max Payne series(mine too) might've never seen the light of day ever again.
Just my 2C......

Seriously, I can't wait. James McCaffrey, Max Payne, classic music, bullet-time, comic-style cutscenes, etc. Ugh, looks just soooooo good!
