This is all pretty tame, except for the whopping 35 GB of space the game will require for installation. That's more than, for example, a full-expanded  World of Warcraft installation. What, exactly, is all that space going to? We theorize that the game will offer a variety of texture detail options, given that it is DirectX 11 compatible. Whatever the case, we're just glad to see that  Max Payne 3 won't function as a new  Crysis for the purpose of pushing our machines to their smoking limits.
