I hope it gets cancelled. They're killing the character, and even the sequel pushed the plotline a bit. Now this new... thing they claim to be Max Payne looks nothing like him, and I refuse to accept him as such.

Agreed, the game just sounded like a terrible idea from the outset.

Let's see.
Does the game have the original script writer? Nope.
Does the game feature the proper voice actor for Max Payne? Nope.
Does the game capture the Film Noir style? Nope, sunny skies aplenty.
Is the main character recognizable? Um, NO.
Is the original game company working on it or providing input? Nah.
Is there going to be a coherent plot? Doubtful, most main characters were killed off in Max Payne 2.
Is there any reason for this game to exist? Not really.
Should it be canceled? YES.

I disagree, the Max Payne series is like the 5 stages of death. Panic, Anger, Depression,Repentance, and finally Acceptance. Payne 1 was panic and anger, 2 was depression and repentance, and 3 is acceptance; but instead of acceptance of death, its acceptance that nothing will ever change. This concept is highlighted by the familiar dark feeling within this lush peaceful seeming facade.
Its a very dark series, and I think it will end that way.
Although I do agree with you that the original writer and McCaffery should have stayed on, but they have both been busy with Alan Wake since a year off of tFoMP's launch. If you were working on a game for 5-6 years and have another original project the latter would be a priority to you too.
Also, you don't know what characters are dead or not. They can come back to life miraculously, just like Mona.
EDIT: Contrary to popular belief, you don't need total darkness to have the kind of environment you speak of, as shown by this pic.
