Some of the more pessimistic members of staff had almost given Max Payne 3 up for dead. A game gets delayed a few times, stops showing up in release calendars, and you start to expect the worst. This morning Rockstar went on the offensive, tweeting two new screens from the game with a simple, definitive message: "He's coming."

The "he," of course, refers to the titular hero, only a much less slovenly version of Max than we were exposed to when the game was first revealed.
