Rockstar is holding back Max Payne 3 until May photo

It's been a long wait for Max Payne 3, so what's a couple more months? The game will be missing its March release date, and is now scheduled to arrive on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on May 15, followed by a PC launch on May 29.

Moving such a big-name game back has resulted in Take-Two Interactive forecasting a loss for the fiscal year. "We do not take changes to our release schedule lightly, and this short delay will ensure that Max Payne 3 delivers the highest quality, groundbreaking entertainment experience that is expected from our company," states Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick.

It's reassuring to see some restraint in gunning for short-term objectives. And a PC version that isn't coming months later? Progress!

Saddening, but predictable. It'll be worth waiting for.

Well considering that Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire were both released in May to wide critical acclaim and a ton of sales, perhaps Rockstar is thinking lightning will strike three times.

Game was supposed to come out in an already crowded March window... I could give you a list of reasons why they pushed it back....

Glad to hear. March was ugly and now I can pick up something else I wanted instead of most my march money going to the ce.

I have no doubt this game will be fantastic, and a couple more months just gives me more time to work through my backlog!

I think Rockstar's having some kind of contest over how many times they can delay one game.

Rockstar is pretty much the only entity in the industry that I still trust.

They are the only ones that know its wrong to put out a unfinished product and hide behind day 1 patches and PR spokesmen bull shit

Thanks for freeing up my already crowded March, Rockstar. For a game that was originally slated for a 2009 release, whats 2 months?

I hope this game is awesome. Nothing has quite captured the John Woo vibe since Max Payne 2, not even John Woo's Stranglehold.
