Nobody Wants To Die Is 2024’s Max Payne

fortressofsolitude.co.za:

If you loved the Max Payne franchise that started in 2001 and want to see what it would look like if it were next-gen and set in the 24^th century instead of the 21^st, we have some excellent news for you. Critical Hit Games has announced their 2024 game Nobody Wants to Die with a cinematic announcement trailer, which is absolutely gorgeous.

With inspiration that seems to range from games like Max Payne (2001) and the gorgeous art and details from The Medium (2001) while sharing themes and inspirations like Blade Runner (1982) and one of the seemingly biggest inspirations, Altered Carbon (2018), Nobody Wants to Die is gorgeous and has too many outstanding elements to pass up in 2024.

Max Payne, a neo-noir third-person shooter from the early 2000s, was a beloved phenomenon that took over the world of Noir detective games, created by Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Studios. Set in one of the noir detectives’ favourite locations, good old New York City, players follow Max Payne, an undercover cop turned fugitive and vigilante, framed for murder after his family was killed and hunted by the cops he used to work with and the mob. It’s easy to see why this game would be an inspiration to many games that came after it.

One of the other and most apparent inspirations of Nobody Wants to Die is the incredible sci-fi action drama Altered Carbon, a futuristic, cyberpunk series set in a future where consciousness, or a person’s soul, has been digitalised to the point where people can be stored digitally and then placed into a new body called “sleeves” because of the ease with which a new body can be slipped on and off. In a moment, you’ll see why this series has a massive connection with Nobody Wants to Die.
