Max Payne 2 Still Soon

More speculation regarding a potential release date for Max Payne 2 has been given. It comes as part of the Banc of America Securities Software Market Outlook 2003 report in which Gary L. Cooper and team analyze the industry as a whole and very bluntly predict how they see it faring at retail for the rest of this year and even somewhat into the next.

Even though Max Payne 2 technically follows the always preposterous "When it's Done" philosophy of development (boo-hoo, I can't stick to a deadline), it's already been confirmed for release later this year on the PC. According to this industry report, later this year means either November or December.

Unfortunately for Xbox and PS2 gamers, their Payne won't come until some undisclosed time in 2004. As for Cube enthusiasts, you apparently get nothing. Ouch.

Take this, like all information to come from analyst reports and financial predictions, with some degree of caution, since nothing short of an official confirmation or pure inside word will do and hearsay is anything but admissible in the IGN court.
