In Max Payne 3, he also did the motion capture for the protagonist.

"Max is a real character who changes and grows, and I think that’s why a lot of people like him," he said of the franchise's popularity.

James told Videogamer: "In the first two games, it was mostly just me standing in a sound booth taking directions.

"I’m not that familiar with the games business in general outside of my work on Max, but I know the technology has changed a lot since then.

"The Rockstar guys had created huge sets for us to act out the scenes on, so bringing that physicality into the character made things flow more naturally."
