Today, Rockstar has released the first in a series of research posts that gives an account of the amount of research that is going into
Max Payne 3 to ensure it's as true-to-life as possible. They actually traveled to Sao Paulo, Brazil in order to suck up the local culture like a sponge. They visited rich sections and poor sections, they examined the police and military, and even the local gangs to ensure
Max Payne 3's version of Brazil was as real as possible. You can read the post right
here, and Rockstar promises even more in the coming weeks leading up to the release of
Max Payne 3.
