Max Payne 3 - Skip Cutscenes INSTANTLY Mod

With this mod, you can skip those pesky UNSKIPPABLE CUT-SCENES.

How to Install -

1. Download the Max Payne 3 Cutscene Skipper [www.speedrun.com]
(It's under 'Tools' in the middle of the URL I linked)

It may be flagged as a Virus/Trojan under your Anti-Virus, but it is a false positive. DO NOT WORRY! Author of the mod is a very well known speedrunner in the Max Payne community. Allow it and download the files :)

Important To Know!

SKIPPING CERTAIN CUTSCENES CAN CRASH THE GAME OR CAUSE GLITCHES. Read below & check comments section.

• CHAPTER 1: After saving Fabiana - Max will be stuck in the elevator and unable to move.
  SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until it transitions to Max running down a hallway.
  
  
• CHAPTER 7: Where Max investigates the warehouse, before jumping on the chain, skipping
  causes the game to crash or Max to die instantly offscreen.
  SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until after Max says the 'testosterone fest' line.
  
  
• CHAPTER 8: Transition cutscene from the morgue to chapel, skipping will make the level
  load improperly and the enemies and some scenery will be invisible.
  SOLUTION: Don't skip this cutscene until after Max and Passos come through the door and
  enter the chapel.
  
  
• CHAPTER 9: When crossing the gate through the alleyway showing a couple of choppers,
  skipping causes the game to crash to desktop.
  SOLUTION: Do not skip this cutscene at all.
  
  
• CHAPTER 9: The loooooong cutscene before the end of the chapter can be skipped right away
  but the QTE at the end will be silent.
  SOLUTION: Harmless, there's no reason to be bothered by it.
  
  
• CHAPTER 12: Cutscene featuring Max, the doctor, and Serrano MIGHT crash the game to
  desktop if it is skipped.
  SOLUTION: Do not skip this cutscene at all. Instead, enjoy Max's voice acting!

for anyone asking. no its not a trojin. if it was why would it still be up six years later? plus the downloads are on the official speedrun.com site. other places recommend this site so its not a fishing site. and he literally says it might be marked as a false positive.

Never saw anyone whos got issue with that scene

[Reanu Keeves]

It is, indeed, a trojan virus... it does work, because I tested it, but is a trojan virus and will mess up your machine

Or use Payne Trainer

Does this mod really work? I saw someone claiming it was a Trojan virus but I just wanted to make sure

[Carp]

Oh yeah. Now I can skip the damn videos. I was in the process of completing the mode (Time does not wait - hardcore) and died at the end of chapter 9 due to a long video that I decided to skip using Cheat engine. And in the end, I died when the boss attacked with a machete. So, you helped me out. Thank you."

there's no part of me that understands the decision to not make all, even small cutscenes skippable in this game. because what kind of a game is it? a fiery, tactical third person action shooter that constantly "slows down", literally.

there should have been two game modes: Story and Action. Story plays like the game plays. Action is just the game's playable sections. no fat, no bullshit, no infinitely-repeating Maxisms of "The last time I hit something that hard it was the bottom of a bottle." "Last night was about two things. one was fighting, and the other I forget because I'm such a drunken trainwreck."

Max Payne shouldn't be about us constantly HEARING about Max's Pain, it should be about us vicariously redeeming it. you want a story, neat. go ahead. but to cut the game into ribbons of nonstop repetition of how much of a wreck he is? blah. replaying it's almost as big a chore as getting through this comment. anyway, thanks for the mod.
