RIP, James McCaffrey. Just as Max Payne is being "revived", this happens. Max Payne won't ever be the same without your voice.
I hope they have a stash of sound clips they can use to do the new reboot. Not hearing his voice in the games if they decide to do that will not be right..
@@mattdias3412 I know you right I'm so hurt
@@mattdias3412 It can be easily treated with AI. I'm pretty sure Rockstar and Remedy will find a way.
@@justinmcgillxboxreigns6591 AI works for a lot of things but it seems to still struggle with little nuances that can make or break a game.
@@TheSoundChronicles you right.
I like how Sam Lake doesn't age, just like the game.
dude, I know!!! he still looks great!
he still looks like max
damn true, no need to remaster the old texture in MP1 just screengrab his face from this video and paste it into the game.
That's just his constant healthy diet lifestyle.
Fuck that face from Inland Empire, gives me heart attack every time :D
The video hits different now. This is Mr. McCaffrey's final performance as Max Payne. Keep on driving into the night, legend. Forever in our hearts.
false my friend, max payne is in alan wake 2 :)
@@ReynoldsVidZ Not really the same sensation as in Max Payne. I don't know why, but Alex Casey had a bit different vibe.
@@shimec Alex Casey is most definitely a different character. But he was created as a reference to Max Payne. So it's kinda like Max in spirit? Alan Wake 2 was dope though. Remedy is like ome of the few devs left making awesome games.
Hits harder
I’ve just seen this and found out about his passing. What a legend. 16 year old me will never forget the time I spent playing Max Payne
Rest in Peace, James McCaffrey.
You will always be a great voice for this legenadary character.
"They were all dead. The final gunshot was an exclamation mark to everything that had led to this point. I released my finger from the trigger. And then it was over..."
“I lied to myself it was over it wasn’t over it’s going to get worse before the end” RIP Max Payne I love you for the bottom of my heart
Are you really going to take advantage of the man's death and post the same comment on every Max Payne video? You are a disgusting attention seeker.
"Most games can already barely run with 64MB of RAM, but this game requires 96MB minimum. I'll need to upgrade." - 13 year old me when Max Payne came out.
I was still alive. My loved ones were still dead. It wasn't over.
RIP James McCaffrey
You'll always be in our hearts❤
i'm still shocked, i had heard his voice more times than most of my relatives voices. He was a legend, excelent actor and voice actor. As a fan of max payne it will take some time to fully accept this... RIP
I'm still playing Alan wake 2 and I saw this news ...like wtf it's too soon man , RIP by the way
Absolute legend…
Im 30 years old and i just cryed for some dude i never met... Cant believe i wont hear his voice in the remake coming
Can't believe he's gone so soon. RIP James McCaffrey
"He was trying to buy more sand for his hour glass. I wasn't selling any." *-Max Payne*
"Running around like a broken bottle of Tabasco."- Max Payne
fucking nailed it
"I Knew the appetite of ghosts intimately. They hungered for revenge." ~ Max Payne
Goddamn, makes Red Dead lines look like 1 fish 2 fish shit
"You'd find lady luck was a hooker and you were all out of money."
"Birthdays are like regrets, *they just keep coming, each one a new scar, that slows you down and drags you closer to your grave"

"Everything is a cliche - until it is happening to you" - Max Payne
Yup.
"He was trying to buy more sand for his hour glass. I wasn't selling any."

@@arthurmorgan2906 wow you are keeping it real. real dumb
RIP James McCaffrey, your voice and the legacy that you left behind will be forever in the gaming industry
James did an exceptional job of voicing Max Payne. No one in this world could've done it better than him. Thank you, James, for the iconic piece of work that has made our childhood incredible.
I still remember hoping on my PC as soon as I got back home from school. That 1 hour I spent every evening after school was the best time ever. I am sure a lot of you have had a similar experience. Let's make sure our kids know who Max Payne was. RIP James.
I will brother.
I love how much Remedy still cares for Max Payne.
@@ryanbrother2617 They don't own the rights anymore.
@@ryanbrother2617 not only they don't own the rights, I think the story ended in Max Payne 3, there is no need for a new sequel.
@@user-zg3en9jg7q I would love to see a spiritual successor with similar mechanics and themes, though, but not Max. Let him rest.
They're care only about our cash.
@@JhonPittsburgMaybe The Matrix game with bullet time mechanics, based on the new movie?
Music. Voice acting. Story. Bullet time. That game is absolute masterpiece.
Yes the first two games were the third game made him into a naive idiot, or apparently wasn't a literal detective, who got treated like an idiot, who worked with idiots. I just wish Rockstar give remedy the license to make an actual third game.
Mods! There were some amazing mods made for this game.
This game was as close to the "Matrix" experience we were looking for as teens in the 2000's so it's really a game of its own, in its own era. Now games are too formulaic to garner any attention when they deviate from the formulas that sell, and it's a cycle that feeds into itself as bigger companies took down independents with a vision and creative control. Now it's all screened, censored, watered-down of its original intent, and delivered to the public as a triple-A game worth 80 - 120 dollars pre-order with or without the DLC. Nothing new under the sun.
I places max payne i have 6 years old i have 22 now
Play
this hits harder knowing we'll never see this legend again, rest in peace
Rest in Peace James McCaffrey. It was one hell of a ride. Thank you for the beautiful memories.
I can't believe this I'm so hurt
That voice actor brings all the nostalgia, his voice hasn't changed one bit.
True only its little older hehe 20 years have past xd
True
Age hasn't slowed him down one bit.
Can we have Max Payne 4: Guns of the Killer Suits, please?
So true!
@@bateshell2 Not sure about that subtitle. How about Max Payne 4: Blue Blood Runs Deep
Max, tired of his idealic life in sunny crime ridden land of Sao Pablo Brazil returns to his hometown of New Jersey and after some negotioation returns to his job a Cop, that doing so he would help Max get rid of the mobsters that want his head, either by taking them down (jail), striking a deal or just killling them all.
Meanwhile Max is pusuing, solving and fighting people all over NJ related to other cases his given to work on while on Duty. All the time he is under watch from Jim Bravura With Max back as a senior Detective he gets a high end apartment, after coments from his new partner that he shouldn't stay scatching around in a rusty hellhole of an apartment.
With a new home a new attitude and some nice stuff he starts to get his life back together and take care of himself.
He finds a new rthym working cases and going back to his apartment and ocasional night life. Over time he will oncover a cross-state wide fed/police conspiracy and realise a few in the Department are corrupt/on the take. It's up to him to, his new partner and anyone else not bent to blow it wide open and tie down and loose ends.
Coming christmas 2024 (C) rating (TBA).
When he came out dressed like that, with the pitch perfect narration and spot-on music/sound effects, my heart skipped a beat!
Lol it was better than the whole Mark Walburg movie!
@@kievmiddeton2656 I didn't even know that Mark Wahlberg made a Max Payne movie. 😑😲🤣😅
@@YoManSan 😂 oh you’re in for a treat lol ...it came out in 2008. Co staring Ludacris
@@kievmiddeton2656 I saw the trailer. Should I watch it to have a laugh, or it's not even worth my time for that?

"Death is inevitable. Our fear of it makes us play safe, blocks out emotion. It's a losing game. Without passion you are already dead."
Rest in Peace, and thank you Mr. McCaffery.

"The nostalgia hit me in the face like a .45 launched out of the barrel of a gun. Old men spinning tails of happier times as the next generation went on with their lives in ignorance. Two minutes of pleasure like a quick shot of Valkier to the veins before being ripped back to reality, my own personal hell."
Wow u nailed that comment Max Payne forever 💯💯
I read it in his voice. Bravo.
Its fear that gives men wings
underrated comment
I don't know about angels but it coffee that gives men wings.
I love when actors recognize how important a single role is to a fanbase.
Mad props to Sam and James for keeping Max close to them.
hopefully James will reprise his role as Max for the remakes
James is fuckin awesome. He's a seriously nice dude outside of acting, and I don't think anyone else could've pulled off Max and Trench.
This Was Awesome, it Gave Me Chills ❤
@@TheDarkwingjthe remake was just announced to be in early development. Hopefully both return

Rest in peace James McCaffrey, thank you for making one of the most iconic characters out there with thanks to Sam Lake and Remedy and everyone else involved in the making of these games.

You made a great figure, Max Payne, whose boundless dedication to the cause I've always aspired to since my childhood.
Rest in peace, James McCaffrey.
I randomly started replaying max payne 3 n found out 2 days ago, legit crushed me 😢 these games are 1 Of 1 man no other like it. Ffs even thr shooting mechanics of 3 havent been replicated!

That jacket deserves to be in some kind of museum. Iconic
I think it was, at least for a while.
@@victoracosta4796 i wonder how much does it cost now?

"To make any kind sense of it, Ineed to go back three years, back to the night the pain started..."
Nothing better than finding the comment I wanted to add myself! These words have remained in my head since I first saw the opening scene back in 2001.
Powerfull and poetic. Like destiny wrote itself down.
They were all fat, i released my trigger from my finger, and then it was a rhetorical question.
To make any kind of sense of it, I need to go back three years, back to the PAIN IN THE BUTT started.

One of my favorite, if not all-time, Max Payne quotes.
@@PhamBoy91 man Max has wayyyy to may 2 quote imo.. He would be one of the best punchlining, metaphorical simile dropping rappers to ever grace the mic!! His name would be a dope ass name 2. Nothing fancy just his name and his story! He's got his look with the trenchcoat gimmick Lol i got way into that jeez!!! 🤣 lol well a big special Thank you too remedy for this beautiful, wonderfully well writing noir like, morse mythology having tale of revenge and redemption! From the 1st max Payne till the 3rd! The shows inside the game were golden with my favorites being lords and ladies(all episodes) address unknown, and cap. Baseball bat boy! Extra special thank you 2 you, uncle tjay, for showing me this game back in 2004! my very 1st PC gaming experience was this game here lol when u stayed in Cleveland b4 all the growing up bs took u away from me... cold part about it is u ain't even dead. Anyways love!
It either does that or make them still forever more.
Red bull been real quiet since this dropped 🗿
So it wasn't red bull?
So interesting how 2 guys combined give life to a single character. Happy Birthday, Max!

"Birthdays are like regrets. They just keep coming, each one a new scar that slows you down drags you down closer to your grave" - That perfectly encapsulates the feeling of realizing a game you played in high school is 20 years old now
My god man. I was 15 when this game dropped and downloaded it over Kazaa. I remember it was around 200MB and some of the music was ripped from the game. The game stuttered to hell on my system but still loved it.
@@HerZeL3iDza I played it on PS2 when I was in 10th grade. I specifically remember babysitting my cousin around that time who had just been born, and now she's been in a college for a decent chunk of time.
I played it on PC but can't remember when, I was maybe 16 or so cause that's when I got my first PC. Similarly to you though I remember playing Worms on the Saturn and my niece was a baby at the time, she's now married.
Life goes by too damn fast and we only realize the good times after they're gone.
First game my Mom bought me for the original Xbox. Take me back.
in which part of the game this quote occured?
Rest in peace, James McCaffery. Thank you for your work, you will be remembered fondly and lovingly.
Fuck cancer.
Rest in peace man. You were one of the greatest of all time.
The moment he came out wearing the jacket, the voice over, the music, it was perfect, perfect. For a few seconds there I was 13 again and everything was simple, more beautiful. Chills. Thank you for this, Remedy
we only need 2 berettas and a bullet time screen
@@sunnypro9615 Thankfully, I live in a country where PG ratings mean jack shit and I got to experience this beauty early in my life. Also you really shouldn't overprotect your kids, but that's another topic.
I agree seeing the jacket and hearing the voiceover and the music was just pure perfection. 😍😍😍😍
Wow, it’s been 20 years since Max Payne came out, and I still remember being excited when I first played it. The game was revolutionary for its time. According to those times it was much cooler than recent “Cyberpunk 2077”, and there wasn’t so massive marketing campaign.

The 1st Max Payne is a masterpiece. So nostalgic, so legendary...

John: He was a serial killer. He had framed me for his murders. I was hiding in a cheap motel. One night, I woke to a knock at the door. Someone slipped a note under the door. It was a clue. I descended into a mystery, desperate to catch him, to find my girlfriend, to save her. A labyrinth of my double's making, from one grisly murder scene to the next.

A part of my childhood I'd never forget.
Sentirei sua falta, James. Descanse em paz.
James McCaffrey is really under-rated as voice actor.
"I knew this was a bad idea. But in the absence of any good ideas, I continued forward."
Basically sums up my whole life.
“…but when was I ever about smart moves. I’m a dumb move guy…That’s my style and it’s too late in the day to hope for change.”
James McCaffrey passed away today after a battle with Cancer. I can't even begin to explain how much his work influenced me on such a deep and personal level. So of course, I feel compelled to try anyway.
James McCaffrey's talent, alongside Sam Lake's dark, poetic writing style, gave life to a brooding character and world of substance. A story with depth and deep philosophical musings. Max Payne. A character and story that has brought such richness and meaning to my life. I will forever be grateful for the opportunity I had to join Max on his vengeful, bitter and tragic journey over the years.
Rest in peace McCaffrey, or is it Max? May your family and loved ones always remember, and the world never forget, your undeniable talent in bringing complex and engaging characters to life for all to enjoy. I know I never will.
Goodbye Max Payne
RIP James… you will truly be missed

Max Payne was such a revolutionary game when it was released and its still one of my all time favorite games. Would love to see Sam Lake return as the model for Max in the next title.
It also gave birth to the revolutionary kung-fu mod. My god, I couldn't believe being able to do all those Matrix moves in a video game.
Amazing game.
There is not so much games like the old ones.
Ironically, I think Sam looks too young to be the current Max Payne. Max has not aged well with his alcoholic beer belly and whiskey fuelled face, lol.

where the story really should ended
@@ShinStriderHiryu when I replayed all the games in a row, Max Payne 3 did annoy me cause they regressed his character! He found inner peace at the end of 2. He didn't need to be so depressed in 3
Max Payne 3 wasn't the original team if I am correct. Definitely felt like what is Max Payne like to a room of rich execs.
Max Payne 2 is totally the real ending. It closes up so much
I play 3 for gameplay, the story is shit really
James McCaffrey's voice is so iconic.

Rip sir. You brought the excellent writing of Max Payne to life. One of my favorites:
The past is a puzzle, like a broken mirror. As you piece it together, you cut yourself, your image keeps shifting. And you change with it. It could destroy you, drive you mad. It could set you free.
Way too sad news to hear about James' lost battle with cancer. He made the character, he is the character... nobody will ever be able to truly replace him in his role, he was too iconic. Just like Michael Ironside with Sam Fisher or David Bateson as Agent 47.
Respect seeing a company in tune with understanding the old titles still are important.
I just wish they came out with a modern release of Max Payne to work on current hardware. The one on steam is a pain in the ass to get properly working.
Well, to be fair, that franchise got them to where they are now, it'd be like forgetting your roots or in this case, what got them their recognition in the game industry.
The emotion here is genuine, this wasn't put up to promote a new game or something. This is just fan service from an appreciative developer. You gotta respect that.

“Fear was like rusty needles poking at my brain, cold and scaly, it slithered down my chest”- Max Payne
Second game?
I felt that
@Daniel Stark thanks

Rest in Peace, Mr McCaffrey. You shaped countless lives through your work.
You'll live on in the hearts of many. Rest in peace, James McCaffrey.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN THIS GREAT VOICE HAS NOT CHANGED FOR 20 YEARS !!!
Yo, play Control. He voices a major character who does a bunch of narration. It's also by the same company.
@@curupa66 _Control's_ mechanics suffer a lot from cargo cult mentality. Why does an adventure game have randomized Diablo-style loot mechanics and randomly-generated, MMO-style side quests? If they had to rip off another series' itemization or quest structure, _Ocarina of Time_ and _Majora's Mask_ would have made much better choices.
@@HenriFaust what ?
@@teevee23 No, the upgrade mechanics cannot be ignored.
@@talpatv512 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cargo_cult_science
"In the South Seas there is a cargo cult of people. During the war they saw airplanes land with lots of good materials, and they want the same thing to happen now. So they've arranged to imitate things like runways, to put fires along the sides of the runways, to make a wooden hut for a man to sit in, with two wooden pieces on his head like headphones and bars of bamboo sticking out like antennas-he's the controller-and they wait for the airplanes to land. They're doing everything right. The form is perfect. It looks exactly the way it looked before. But it doesn't work. No airplanes land. So I call these things cargo cult science, because they follow all the apparent precepts and forms of scientific investigation, but they're missing something essential, because the planes don't land." --Richard Feynman
Given how polished the shooting mechanics are in _Control,_ it wouldn't surprise me if we found out their itemization and side quest systems were the result of upper management or publisher interference.
Even after 20 years, the game aged like fine wine.
First and second Max Payne are great games , bur third one from rockstar is just another shooter , If Remedy got all rights to Max Payne back and made next Max Payne , kinda reset like other companies did with Hitman & Tomb Rider but in noir.
@@cookiesupervisor2211 totally agree.
@@cookiesupervisor2211 I think it's far from just another shooter to be honest.
@@someguy8951 Max Payne 3 is an amazing game, it doesn't have the same film-noir style that the first two are known for, but almost 10 years later and it's still one of the best 3rd person shooters out right now. We need another game, or something close to it. Control is not enough.
@@cookiesupervisor2211 nah for gameplay its as Max Payne as it could get, but the story and the style are just different.
Just here paying my tribute to one of the most iconic voices in Video Gaming.. May you rest in peace, legend.
RIP James, he passed away after the long fight with the cancer 😢
James McCaffrey has one of the most stylish voices in gaming.
