Lake worked on the script for a month before deciding to take it to Remedy and turn it into Max Payne 2. Early on, the idea was that Max would be involved in some kind of traumatic event and forget all about it-except for a snippet of a song called Late Goodbye.” “You try something, it doesn’t work, and then you go a different way. “Coming up with these stories is a winding road,” he says. While studying screenwriting at the Theatre Academy of Finland, Lake wrote a treatment for a movie script that would eventually become Max Payne 2. And when you’re building a world, these details become opportunities to bring colour to it and add to and comment on the story’s themes.” “How do you create an imaginary world that feels like a real place? In a contemporary setting, things like music, television, and movies are very much present in our daily lives. “It all comes down to world-building,” says Lake. And after making his way through the Address Unknown funhouse, Max hears his love interest, Mona Sax, singing it to herself in the shower. Later, a contract killer plays a beautiful rendition of it on a piano, over which the body of one of his victims lies slumped and bloodied. A janitor sings it as he scrubs graffiti from a wall, and you can hear the song blaring loudly from his headphones. You overhear snippets of Late Goodbye throughout Max Payne 2. I wanted it to exist in, and be a part of, the world we created." “In the same way, I didn’t want this song to just play over the end credits. “We have in-game television shows in Max Payne 2 that become a larger part of the world, such as the Address Unknown theme park,” says Sam Lake, creator (and face) of Max Payne, lead writer at Remedy, and co-writer of Late Goodbye. But in an example of developer Remedy’s knack for clever world-building, Late Goodbye is more than just a credits song: it’s threaded into the game itself, and deeply connected to the story. When I think about Max Payne 2, I think of that acoustic guitar and those low, swelling strings. The atmospheric song plays over the end credits, but has always felt like the game’s theme to me.
