Max Payne is being remade, and Remedy fans really want Sam Lake's face back on the titular character.

Just yesterday, Remedy Entertainment and Rockstar Games announced remakes of Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne were in active development in a joint venture. It didn't take long for fans of the iconic shooter series to speak up about Remedy director Sam Lake's face reappearing in the remake of the first game.

Over on the gaming subreddit post that announced the remakes, for example, dozens of fans speak up about hoping that Lake's face makes a grand return in the remake of the original Max Payne. Additionally, the Max Payne-dedicated subreddit has a slew of comments from fans equally hopeful of Lake's face receiving a HD upgrade.

All the while we're wondering who'll be the face of the new Max Payne in the remakes?
