Max Payne 3 - future data at Chapter 2 start
4Some future data mayhem in the first half of Chapter 2. Not an entirely systematic research, so there still remains some things to test in this level.
0:00 - Chapter 2-2. Next loading trigger is after having fought all enemies. Max is sent to Chapter 2-3 too early and falls through the floor. But afterwards things proceed as normal.
0:31 - Chapter 2-2 during failure cutscene. Just tried this out of curiosity. Max disappears from fail cutscene, and after retry you're sent back to Chapter 2-2.
1:00 - Chapter 2-3. Next loading trigger is in the outdoors area.
There is more than one possible result in Chapter 2-3, and here is the first one. During future data activation the game recognizes that it is cutscene and you cannot turn camera or do light gameplay actions during this time. At the end, Max gets stuck in place.
1:45 - Chapter 2-3, another variation. Here you can turn the camera or do light gameplay actions (like bullet time) during the cutscene. At the end, Max is free to move and Chapter 2-4 is entirely free of enemy presence. The ex-cop cutscene also won't start in the toilet. Game continues as normal when you eventually reach Chapter 2-5, so this could work as a combat exploit for the very desperate, I guess.
2:45 - Chapter 2-4. Next loading trigger is whenever. Activating future data makes Max warp to the ex-cop cutscene and you see it from his camera angle. The ex-cop seems particularly talkative today. Afterwards Max and thugs become frozen, some in t-pose.
3:58 - Chapter 2-4, during LMS. Max chats with ex-cop for a while, but ostensibly dies of boredom soon after.
4:33 - Chapter 2-5, during resolved LMS. Next loading trigger is whenever, so you can dabble with LMS-variations here. In this case Max can start the next fight while in a cutscene, and in the end he gets stuck, completely invincible.
5:06 - Chapter 2-5, normal. Max basically watches the cutscene from his angle, while seeing some glitchy t-pose thugs behind him near the door to Chinese restaurant. Then the game fails him because of wasting too much time outside a fight in this area. After retry, camera is still acting up for a moment.
(Not on the vid: Chapter 2-6 you already saw in the video "Big glitchy timesave at Chapter 2-6".)
