"Max Payne 3 Mod Brings Back Sam Lake's Original Face"

A new mod for Max Payne 3 restores the likeness of Remedy Entertainment's creative director, Sam Lake, whose face was originally used for the protagonist in the first Max Payne game. The mod integrates Lake's head model into the game, preserving facial expressions and materials, and even includes details like face wounds and drops of sweat. It replaces 98 models and 66 textures, allowing players to see Lake's likeness in various hairstyles and costumes. However, the modders advise against using it in multiplayer modes. Remedy Entertainment is also remaking the first two Max Payne games, sparking curiosity about whether Sam Lake will reprise his role in the HD remakes.
