I agree that I'm a little put off by what I've seen so far combined with it not being Remedy working on it. So I'm not really paying much attention to this game despite enjoying the first two. But I guess I'll just have to see how it develops. (But really, multiplayer with bullet time?)

It isn't looking good, and that feeling appears to be universal. Nonetheless I have some faith in Rockstar Vancouver to develop a good game, as they did previously with Bully. Gameplay videos weren't even shown yet and of course, all can change just like that if the Rockstar corporates also think that this is not the way a Max Payne game should be going and this project gets canned almost before it hits the ground. Rockstar has a number of other projects coming out soon (the next DLC for GTAIV, Red Dead Redemption, Agent; and I'm pretty sure they must be preparing the announcement of others like a new Midnight Club or handheld GTA) so it isn't like it's depending entirely on Max Payne 3 right now. I would doubt that it will come out this year and there's still a lot to do.
Of course, i'd be very surprise if it'd be anything as good as the original two games, but that's more than understandable. Let's aim for "fun to play" and "fan-pleaser".
Who knows if the whole game will take place in Brazil? Who knows if there won't be flashback sequences where you play as old Max and all the crazyness of Max being bald (too much shampoo?) and fat (too much booze?) and in Brazil makes full sense.
I don't think that it isn't anything but reasonable to just wait and see. And if it disappoints, it disappoints ..

I couple days ago I started a "Gamers Against Shovelware" group on facebook since there was no other group on the subject. Its starting to explode and have already 10 people join. I hope it really catches on.

Except this isn't Shovelware.
I went on my rant on Max Payne at SD for a few pages so I am not going on another one.
Yes I am against Max Payne 3 as it's not Max Payne.
This probably will be a very good game but it's only using his name,that is where people are upset.
Shovel ware is stuff like We Cheer PETZ Spongebob games where they are handed off to to small development teams to make in a couple months and to make a quick buck and repeat every few months.
This game is made by a big time AAA developer.
This game has however removed all what made the character and series using the name when it should be it's own IP.
