Max Payne 3 Confirmed for March 2012 Release

The return of Max Payne has been a long wait. When I finished Max Payne 2 in 2003 I doubted I would have to wait until freaking 2012 to play the next one. I mean, that spans from the end of middle-school to the end of college. It seems like Rockstar (Remedy doesn't seem to have anything to do with this one) is acknowledging this, however, as the game will take place roughly a decade after 2.

Along with the release date being slated for March, we've also been graced with a new screenshot which is only viewable below if you possess at least one eye.

What's confusing is the existence of earlier screens which depict the idea that Max will look like the angry offspring of Jeff Bridges from Iron Man and Bruce Willis in 10 years. There was fan outcry (and a lot of personal internal strife on my part) and so far all the new screens show Max with a full head of hair and a body that less resembles a younger Orson Welles. What does this mean, exactly? I have no idea. Either they changed the character model, or we're looking at scenes from an in-game flashback. Personally, I'm hoping it's the former.
