Liam Payne hits back a troll who says his girlfriend Kate Cassidy is only with him for his money
‘I’ve NEVER felt a love like I do for her’: Liam Payne defends new relationship with Kate Cassidy with bold claim after troll says she’s only with him for his multi-million pound fortune
Liam Payne has fired back at a troll who claimed that the One Direction star’s girlfriend is just with him for the money.
The singer, 29, and his girlfriend Kate Cassidy, 23, made their red carpet debut as a couple at the British Fashion Awards earlier this month but despite this, Liam has said he’s ‘never felt a love like this before’.
But it seems not everyone is convinced about the relationship, as one fan sent him a DM warning Liam that Kate was after his cash.
Hitting back: Liam Payne fired back at a troll on Instagram on Sunday who claimed that the One Direction star’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy is just with him for the money
Liam responded by screenshotting the message and putting it on his Instagram Stories and gushing over his new romance.
He said: ‘Gotta say you could tell me anything and I couldn’t be turned, I’ve never felt a love like I do for Katelyn. We make each other better people.’
Defending her against the gold digger accusations, he said: ‘If it was just for the money I’d give her all of it.
‘It’s not though (please remember I’m hella sexy) and I know I’m fun and a loveable person.

‘And I don’t give a f*** to say that for the first time in my life I’m happy to be me and that’s priceless.’
Liam’s bold claim about his relationship with Kate comes after his high-profile previous relationships with Cheryl and Maya Henry.
Despite his insistence he’s never felt ‘a love like it’, Liam was engaged to Maya and shares a son, Bear, with ex-girlfriend Cheryl.

It comes after Liam’s relationship with the American beauty appears to have been going from strength to strength as they were caught sharing a Christmas smooch at a party.
Snapped on Friday evening, the former One Direction star and his girlfriend danced at a festive event before sharing a kiss.
Dressed in a plain white t-shirt, Liam cut a casual yet dapper figure.
Blonde beauty Kate wore her tresses in a big bouncy curl style and looked effortlessly glam in her high-neck black bodysuit and satin bottom half.
She wore a full face of makeup for the occasion, while Liam wore his brunette locks pushed back with some product.
Singer Liam looks into the camera recording the moment and gives a intent stare, looking to be disapproving of eyes on the intimate moment.

Then he gives the friend filming them a humourous middle finger before going in to cuddle his loved one.
He nuzzled himself into her neck and then Kate gives him a loving peck on the cheek.
Kate reshared the moment with her 19,500 followers, while Liam decided against it.

Adreian Payne: Former NBA player shot dead in Orlando
Deputies with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office responded to a shooting just after 1 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday, where they found Payne, 31, shot.
The gunman, who was later identified by police as Lawrence Dority, stayed at the scene and was transported to Orange County Sheriff’s Office headquarters where he was interviewed by homicide detectives.
Dority has been arrested on a warrant for First Degree Murder and transported to the Orange County Jail, according to the statement. It is unclear if he has an attorney on record at this time, and a motive for the shooting is not known.
Payne was a standout playing four seasons at center for the Michigan State Spartans, where his team twice won the Big Ten Conference Championship.
He was drafted in the first round of the 2014 NBA draft by the Atlanta Hawks and played four seasons in the NBA with the Hawks, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Orlando Magic.
He went on to play internationally, including in China, Greece, France, Turkey and Lithuania, according to a news release from Michigan State’s men’s basketball program.
“I’m in shock at the tragic news of Adreian Payne’s death,” Michigan State men’s basketball coach Tom Izzo said in a statement. “Our prayers are with his family, teammates and loved ones,” he said.
“Adreian was loved by his teammates and coaches, who respected his development as a player and a person. He came to Michigan State with a ton of raw talent and put in the work to reach his goal of becoming an NBA player.
Izzo added that Payne would be remembered by Spartans fans for his “kind heart” and his friendship with Lacey Holsworth, an eight-year-old who had been stricken with neuroblastoma in 2012 before her passing in 2014.
“Today is a difficult and sad day for the Spartan basketball family. Following graduation, Adreian regularly returned to East Lansing,” Izzo added.
“In doing so, he developed and strengthened relationships with players from all eras. I’ve heard from many of those players today, each one experiencing heartbreak, and each one with their own fond memory of Adreian,” he said.
Remedy & Rockstar Remaking “Max Payne”
Remedy Entertainment is coming back to the “Max Payne” franchise with the company entering an agreement with Rockstar Games to develop all-new remakes (not remasters) of the first two games in the series.
Announced as part of a press release about Remedy and Rockstar’s new publishing deal, the project sees original studio Remedy returning to the series to fully re-imagine those first two titles from 2001 & 2003 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Rockstar Games created the third game in the series in 2012.
The original third-person shooter games follow New York City police detective Max Payne who turns vigilante after his family was murdered by drug addicts. Along the way, he uncovers a major conspiracy. Later he rejoins the NYPD and confronts two more major conspiracies.
According to the press release, Remedy will develop the remakes while Rockstar will provide funding with a budget said to “be in line with a typical Remedy AAA-game production.” Remedy Games is also known for famed game titles like “Alan Wake,” “Control” and “Quantum Break”.
The “Max Payne” remakes will use the Northlight Engine, the same game engine that powers “Control” and the upcoming “Alan Wake” sequel. The games will be released as a single package title for sale, but as they’re in the concept development stages there’s no word on a potential release date.

Max Payne 1 and 2 Remakes Coming to PS5
Remedy has announced it will be remaking PlayStation 2 classics Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne for PlayStation 5 in partnership with Rockstar Games. The two remakes will be shipped as a single product, with the project currently in the “concept development stage”. Remedy will use its proprietary Northlight game engine and production is being funded by the Grand Theft Auto maker. The budget for the game is said to be the same as a “typical Remedy AAA production”. No release date is mentioned as part of the press release.
Sam Houser, founder of Rockstar Games, said: “We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games. We are massive fans of the work the Remedy team has created over the years, and we can’t wait to play these new versions.”
Remedy CEO Tero Virtala then explains how the Max Payne series has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy. “We’re hugely excited to be working with our partners at Rockstar Games once again for the chance to bring the story, action and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games back to players in new ways.”
First released on PC in the summer of 2001, the first Max Payne made its way to PS2 six months later. Its successor, the Fall of Max Payne, followed just two years later in December of 2003. Fans then had to wait a whole nine years for Max Payne 3 to come along in 2012. Renown for its neo-noir atmosphere, groundbreaking storytelling and bullet-time gunplay, the series has sold more than 7.5 million copies to date. Alongside this newly-announced project, Remedy is also developing Alan Wake II.

Max Payne 1 & 2 remakes coming from Remedy, Rockstar for PS5, PC, Xbox
Remedy Entertainment is returning to the Max Payne franchise. The studio announced Wednesday that it’s remaking Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne in coordination with Rockstar Games.
“Max Payne has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy, and we know the millions of fans worldwide feel the same,” said Remedy CEO Tero Virtala in a news release. “We’re hugely excited to be working with our partners at Rockstar Games once again for the chance to bring the story, action and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games back to players in new ways.”
Remedy and Rockstar partnered for the creation of Max Payne 2, picking up where original publisher, Gathering of Developers, left off after the original Max Payne. Rockstar Games handled development of Max Payne 3, released in 2012, itself.
Max Payne and Max Payne 2 will be released as a single stand-alone title on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and will feature a budget similar to Remedy’s other AAA projects, according to the news release. The remakes will used Remedy’s own Northlight engine, the technology that powered Quantum Break and Control.
There’s no word yet on when the remakes might be released, but the project is apparently in the “concept development stage.”
Remedy Remaking Max Payne 1 And 2 Inside Control Engine
Film noir sad sack Max Payne is getting his due with a full remake of the first two games, developer Remedy Entertainment announced today. The new compilation will include both Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max and be exclusive to PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Remakes of the PS2-era games are part of a new publishing agreement with Grand Theft Auto maker Rockstar Games. Remedy will develop the games using its proprietary Northlight game engine, which made 2019’s excellent paranormal thriller, Control, while Rockstar will fund the production.
The Max Payne games mixed together traditional crime noir tropes and comic book storytelling to weave together a grim tale of a detective whose life spirals out of control after his drug and mob connections lead to his family’s murder. The games were also famous for their then-unusual bullet time mechanic.
The studio says development will be “in line with a typical Remedy AAA-game production” and that it’s still in the concept stage. It’s years away, in other words, which is probably why it’s not coming to PS4 and Xbox One. But in the meantime the studio has been doing just fine for itself.
Remedy has been making a number of big moves lately. Following the success of Control, it released a remaster of the original Alan Wake last year. Then in December it revealed that Alan Wake 2 was in development and expected sometime in 2023. Remedy is also working on two new Control games, a sequel with the working title Condor, and a multiplayer spin-off.
It also found time to work with Smilegate on the Western release of lackluster first-person shooter CrossfireX, and has a deal with Tencent to release a new online game that’s currently code named Vanguard. Remedy currently only consists of some 300 employees. It’s also notably one of the few remaining large-scale independent studios in the games industry, as others get snatched up left and right by Microsoft, Sony, and others. Deals like this are one way for it to stay that way.
Remedy and Rockstar Games Announce Max Payne 1 and 2 Remake for PC, PS5, Xbox Series X
Remedy and Rockstar Games have announced they will be remaking Max Payne and Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.
In a surprise announcement Remedy will work with Rockstar under a new publishing agreement to remake the first two Max Payne games for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S. Remedy will handle development while Rockstar will finance the project “which will be in line with a typical Remedy AAA-game production.”
The Max Payne remakes will also be developed on Remedy’s Northlight game engine, the same engine used to develop Control and the upcoming Alan Wake 2.
The original Max Payne games were also a result of a partnership between Remedy and Rockstar, with Remedy handling development and Rockstar Games publishing. Rockstar also handled the development of Max Payne 3.
“We were thrilled when our long-time friends at Remedy approached us about remaking the original Max Payne games,” said Rockstar founder Sam Houser. “We are massive fans of the work the Remedy team has created over the years and we can’t wait to play these new versions.”
Remedy CEO Tero Virtala added, “Max Payne has always held a special place in the hearts of everyone at Remedy, and we know the millions of fans worldwide feel the same.”
Virtala added that the team is excited to “bring the story, action and atmosphere of the original Max Payne games back to players in new ways.”
The project is sounding like a full remake given that it will be developed on Remedy’s newest engine, and it will have a matching AAA budget. It’s tantalizing to imagine the original Max Payne games built using the same engine as Control and Alan Wake 2.
Remedy has had a succesful run as of late with Game of the Year 2019 winner Control and a new partnership with Epic Games for Alan Wake 2. Now, Remedy will return to another beloved franchise with the Max Payne remakes.
