[QUOTE="Admin, post: 61746, member: 1"] Some 22 years after it first released, the cast of Max Payne recently reunited for a strange but brilliant Alan Wake 2 moment, absent one key member. Remedy co-founder Sam Lake captured the moment in a photo posted to X/Twitter, referring to the cast as "family and friends." The group included Jani Niipola (Alex Balder), Carol Kiriakos (Mona Sax), Lake's mother and father (Nicole Horne and Alfred Woden respectively), Aki Järvilehto (BB), and of course Lake himself, who was the original face of Max Payne. Absent from the gathering was James McCaffrey, the voice of Max Payne, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/max-payne-actor-james-mccaffrey-dies-aged-65']who died in December[/URL]. His final role was Alan Wake 2, where he played Alex Casey. Lake paid tribute to McCaffrey at the time, calling him a "lovely man and a dear friend." [I][B]Spoilers for Alan Wake 2[/B][/I] The Max Payne cast was on hand for a 15-minute Finnish short film contained within Alan Wake 2 called Yötön Yö (Nightless Night). The optional sequence features a ballroom dance scene that includes the original cast of Alan Wake. Upon seeing the photo, Alan Wake fans had fun going through the sequence to find cast members, with [URL='https://www.resetera.com/threads/sam-lake-posts-max-payne-1-cast-reunion-photo.802221/?post=117201252#post-117201252']one poster managing to spot Lake's mother and father[/URL]. [I][B]End spoilers for Alan Wake 2[/B][/I] The original Max Payne was praised for its innovative implementation of bullet time mechanics, then a relatively new film device, and helped introduced Remedy to mainstream audiences. Actors like McCaffrey who featured in Max Payne would go on to appear in many more Remedy games, including Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake 2 was praised at release for its innovative storytelling, [URL='https://www.ign.com/articles/the-game-awards-2023-winners-the-full-list']winning Best Game Direction at the Game Awards 2023[/URL].
