Max Payne HD announced

Due out on mobiles.

Rockstar Games has announces a HD version of the first Max Payne game for mobiles.

The GTA maker did not specify which mobile devices are targeted, or when the game will launch.

Max Payne on mobile will connect to the Rockstar Games Social Club and include the same features as its PC counterparts, Rockstar said.

These include HD graphics and high resolution textures that "take advantage" of the "latest mobile technologies", such as customisable controls and support for wired controllers.

Bemused by all this Max Payne malarkey? John Walker recounted the original Bullet-Time video game for a Max Payne retrospective last year.
