Max Payne 3 - Continue glitch (2-7) effects in Chapter 1 & 2
4Like mentioned before, there are a ton of different Continue glitches in this game with different effects. The Continue glitch of Chapter 2-7 results in Max having the rifle MINI-30 with him as well as other weird stuff happening... Yes, this is the same glitch that was responsible for the "Max the Automaton" video, only in Chapter 1. The results are markedly less insane in this Chapter, however.
Later on there are also the leftover results from Chapter 2 which weren't already shown in "Max the Automaton".
(Not on the vid: Chapter 1-2, seems perfectly normal.)
0:00 - Chapter 1-3. Max looks like he is not messing around. Does he really need all this firepower to take down a single thug, though? You'd think you could win the set piece like this, but Max never re-surfaces from the pool after shooting the thug and you're softlocked. Perhaps the rifle weighed him down too much.
0:23 - Chapter 1-3, color glitch 1. You generally get new color combinations during Continue glitch, which is cool. Makes these color glitches worth showing again in my opinion.
0:37 - Chapter 1-3, color glitch 2.
(Not on the vid: Chapter 1-4, endless loading screen.)
0:51 - Chapter 1-5. Everything is dark and Max has MINI-30 on him. Playing onward in the level is possible, and the dark ambience carries over throughout until Chapter 2. It looks interesting how Max handles shooting the van with a slightly glitchy rifle.
1:45 - Chapter 1-5 psychedelic colors. Everything gets deep blue, even purple tones.
2:19 - Chapter 1-6. Everything is dark. Max falls through the ground and dies in a mysterious looking way. But after retry the game will manage to load him in-bounds as usual, and he also has a rifle with him. Backtracking is possible, as is playing onward in the level.
3:16 - Chapter 1-7. Max starts high in air and can see the large office building the level takes place in from the side. Soon he falls down with severe graphical oddities as the level streaming tries to make sense of where Max is exactly. Eventually you get killed by the fall.
4:25 - Or if you use glitched Pause-menu to survive the fall, the timed failure cutscene will soon cause a game over anyway.
(Not on the vid: Chapter 1-8. Everything is dark. Max spawns in the parking hall with a rifle in his hands as the van is driving away. It seems you can complete the Checkpoint like normal even like this.)
(Not on the vid: Chapter 2-3 and 2-4 were shown already in "Max the Automaton". Chapter 2-5 and 2-6 result in endless loading screen. Chapter 2-7 to 2-13 are seemingly perfectly normal. That leaves us with...)
4:44 - Chapter 2-14. Max starts at the helipad wielding MINI-30. Everything else seems to work normally. But hey, pretty cool to take this special weapon into normal gameplay.
5:27 - some bonus footage. Here's some more film of Max the Automaton's short-lived but memorable career in Chapter 2-3.
5:58 - Max the Automaton getting a robotic groove on. His body is paralyzed, so he mostly dances with his face, though.
6:32 - also tried out Chapter 2-3 psychedelic colors. ...Neat.
