Although the Movie directed by John Moore is topping charts in America and has already generated $18 million , 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller does not seems to be pleased with the movie and its storyline.
As per him there are several fundamental story flaws which shows no resemblance with the storyline of the game.
To start with he cited the example of one of Max Payne’s enemies, the drug dealer Jack Lupino, who gets ridiculously killed by one of the film’s non-action characters.
Miller showed displeasure regarding the portrayal of the character of Max Payne’s colleague B.B. Hensley, who ends up betraying him at the end.
Miller also think the Lead character also fell short of live up the standards of the game series.
Moviegoers who are not much into gaming would have got really confused of why max pane is after the Drug mafia as the scene showing the murdering of his family members is shown some half way down the movie as a flashback unlike as seen in the beginning of the game.
The movie flick of Duke Nukem is reportedly said under works.Miller is now worried that what happened with Max Payne doesn’t happens with Duke.

Microsoft has got patented a Audio Data Censoring Technology with their very own XBox Live as its mandatory application.
The Technology was invented by Danieli & Damon V. (Clyde Hill, WA)
With the aid of this technology an input audio data stream under consideration, comprising speech is processed by an automatic censoring filter in either a real-time mode, or a batch mode, which then produces a censored speech which results in undesired words or phrases are either presented to be unintelligible or are inaudible at the other end.
The automatic censoring filter compares the phonemes and/or words derived from phonemes embedded in the application against corresponding phonemes or words which are the undesired part of the speech data. If the probability that a phoneme or word in the input audio data stream matches a corresponding phoneme or word in the undesired speech data or is greater than a probability threshold, the input audio data stream is altered.
So Dont be amused When you say the F-Word and the recipient hears either Hello or a musical note.
