That seems pretty closeminded. You do realize he's not "just" fat and bald, right? The story alternates between him in the present of Brazil and whatnot and events that led to him leaving New York. By the time he's in Brazil, his life is basically a wreck and he ends up shaving his head himself to at least have control over something in his life. In the New York flashbacks, he is 100% the same as he was, even down to the outfit, and you can see it in that last video I linked.
I'm looking forward to it because it actually seems to want to make Max Payne progress logically as a character. He's a self destructive, nearly psychotic at times, heavy drinking painkiller-addict with a noir inner dialogue. God forbid with all that he doesn't look like a model his whole life or lead a perfect life.
That, and I don't see anything wrong with the setting either, because they're obviously going to make it make sense in the context of the plot. There's nothing wrong with stuff happening in the day, and Brazil's criminal underground should be a lot more openly active than New York's. And for reference, Max Payne 2 had settings like some sort of amusement park funhouse and escorting a person dressed in a baseball mascot costume.
