A few new details on Rockstar's 3 have snuck onto the internet over the last few days, the long awaited third adventure in the series set some 12 years after the second game.

During these 'lost years', Payne has clearly been through the wars, and basically looks terrible - but at least he's jetted off to sunnier climes - the new game set in tropical Sao Paulo instead of the grimy streets of New York.

According to Game Informer, Payne has lost much of his credibility during his 12 years on the mean streets of Brazil, and we're also told the new outing with boast a mode. The specifics of this mode have yet to be confirmed, inevitably.

We'll bring you more on all things Max Payne 3 as we get it.
