Rockstar’s newswire has revealed that the developers working on Max Payne 3 went to Sao Paulo to research the feel of the setting and to give as much authenticity to the game as possible.
The developers went to places such as Avenida Morumbi, Avenida Paulista and the Jardins district which are considered the more upper class parts and to high-crime areas like the Favela Japiaçu (Favela do Nove) and the infamous Edificio São Vito (aka Treme Treme or the Vertical Favela).
This will be an ongoing series looking into the research that went into the game. You can click here for more information.
