September brings the arrival of El Paso, Elsewhere: A Max Payne Spiritual Successor

The highly anticipated supernatural shoot-’em-up game, “El Paso, Elsewhere,” developed by the renowned team at Strange Scaffold, has officially announced its release date for September. This exciting news pertains to the PC and Xbox platforms.

Directed by the talented Xalavier Nelson Jr, who also lends his voice to the main character, James Savage, and contributes various rap tracks to the game’s soundtrack, “El Paso, Elsewhere” has recently unveiled its animated music video for the song titled “Stay Awake.”

Interestingly, Strange Scaffold is known for their eclectic game offerings such as “Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator” and “Sunshine Shuffle,” making this more traditional shooter stand out as an unconventional choice. This further exemplifies the developers’ unique and off-the-wall style.

The game serves as a tribute to third-person shooters from the PS2 era, specifically citing Remedy’s iconic “Max Payne” as its primary source of inspiration. Having played both games, I can attest to the striking similarities, particularly in terms of shooting mechanics, including shoot dodging and dual weapon usage. In their preview of “El Paso, Elsewhere,” staff writer Elie Gould expressed enthusiasm and highlighted the slow motion dives as a standout feature.

For fans of “Max Payne,” this news should be exhilarating. I, for one, am eagerly looking forward to experiencing it firsthand.

Fun ethical disclaimer: It’s worth mentioning that I hold a positive opinion of Xalavier Nelson Jr as a person and we have a friendly relationship. I also occasionally play Fortnite with him. However, my decision to write about this game is not influenced by these factors. If anything, I’m slightly frustrated that he hasn’t yet helped me secure a victory in the game. On the other hand, James Daly, a colleague at our sister brand Future Games Show, consistently leads us to wins during lunchtime gaming sessions, so Nelson Jr’s lack of success may actually make me less inclined to write about his game. Nevertheless, I genuinely believe that “El Paso, Elsewhere” is an exceptionally cool-looking game.

In other exciting news, the Nintendo emulator Dolphin will no longer be released on Steam due to a recent legal dispute with Nintendo’s legal team.
