The moves flow nicely into combinations and the range of extra dodges and slides provide you with more than a fighting chance of avoiding incoming fire while closing the range to bust heads.
In Kung Fu Version 3, Payne can run up walls, bludgeon all comers with a deadly staff, carry out numerous flip and spin moves and slam enemies into one another. The Kung Fu mod allows our hero Max to use, you guessed it, kung fu. Version 3 by Kenneth Yeung is the most current, released in 2003. If Max is a gaming classic, the Kung Fu Mod is at the top of the 'play this next' list. But of course, while it is a legendary game people always want more. Payne remains the classic game noir, and was also the first game to employ bullet time. Why? Well, not only does it still manage to look fairly decent even on a modern system (thanks in the main to having maximum settings that topped out well above anything a 2001 vintage PC could handle), but it is also so damn cool. Those interested can download the pack from here, and below you can find some comparison screenshots between the AI-enhanced and the vanilla textures.Released almost five years ago, Max Payne still retains its status as one of the most revered games in PC history. Unfortunately I cant recommend any but let me tell you that I was looking for such mods a few days ago for hours and hours and I found nothing that improves the gameplay while keeping the feel close to the original as you said.
The new textures have increased resolution from 2X to 8X and this pack also includes textures for decals, blood, clothing and for some parts of the UI. Now while Gaiver74 used ESRGAN, he also combined the newly improved textures with some hand-made textures. In my opinion, this is the best thing that ESRGAN brings to the table as modders won’t have to find and replace the textures of older games with new ones that can literally destroy their artistic style.Ĭreated by modder ‘Gaiver74’, this HD Texture Pack for Max Payne enhances a few thousand (~95%) of game textures. Since this Texture Pack uses the AI upscaling technique, all of the improved textures retain the aesthetics of their original textures. By doing it over several passes with the goal of fooling its adverserial part, it will usually produce an image with more fidelity and realism than past methods. So far we’ve seen modders using ESRGAN to enhance and improve the textures of Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Doom and Morrowind, and today I’m happy to report that a new HD Texture Pack has been released for the first Max Payne game.ĮSRGAN, also known as Enhanced Super Resolution Generative Adverserial Networks, is an upscaling method that takes an low-res image and adds realistic details to it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again ESRGAN is a new godsend AI technique that can significantly improve the textures of older titles.
