Well, Rockstar did Max Payne 3 dirty on this, but AFAIK Remedy and Sam Lake weren’t involved. Remedy did use Sam likeness in Alan Wake, so you might be right.
They already walked back on it in Max Payne 2, which made me irrationally upset at the time. But in Alan Wake 1/2 the Max Payne stand-in Alex Casey had Sam Lake’s face again… so, maybe?
I’m more worried about how they’ll approach James McCaffrey’s passing. He is Max Payne, but I feel like they will recast him out of sheer necessity (unless they really just stick slavishly to the originals and give them a fresh coat of paint).

Unless they make Max Payne in the likeness of Sam Lake, I don’t want it.
Sami loves being in his games so I don't doubt they will do that.

Hopefully “closely” doesn’t mean additional launcher, paid cosmetics and such.

Set us free, R*/Remedy
mirrors are more fun than television
I just hope the price point is reasonable. I think 30 for the original RDR remake is steep.
