Rumor Day: Max Payne 3 in the works by Toronto and New IP by North
WARNING
We are currently in the process of moving servers, due to this some of RockstarWatch may not appear as it should. We have managed to place a partly working version of the website on the new server, that is what you are currently viewing. Before the server move we were working on a huge overhaul and update to the website, for the time being this has been placed on hiatus until we complete our server move and configuration. However, rest assured the new and highly improved version of RockstarWatch is just around the corner!

Kind regards,
Jared & Aj

Rumor Day: Max Payne 3 in the works by Toronto and New IP by North

Two interesting rumors have popped up today. Starting with the first rumor, Max Payne 3 is said to be in development by the very quiet Rockstar Toronto. Back in 2007, there was a rumor going around that the same team that had originally developed Manhunt 2, Rockstar Vienna, was developing the title but was canceled when the studio was closed. Rockstar Vancouver was said to be continuing developing of the title. However, this new rumor says Rockstar Toronto is developing the title. Perhaps it was a mix up of the studios? Seems logical being that they are both located in Canada and Rockstar Toronto received a name change after the Vancouver team became part of Rockstar.

Also adding to this, Rockstar Toronto has been very, very quiet since the release of The Warriors. They have worked on Manhunt 2 and Bully since then but they were just ports. It may be unknown who the developer is but one thing is almost for certain, Rockstar is working on Max Payne 3. On to the next tidbit of information, remember that exclusive PS3 IP Sony said that Rockstar was working on last year? Well today's rumor says that Rockstar North is developing the title.
