GI "Earlier this week, we shared the news that Remedy level designer and scripter Greg Louden helped bring home the Academy Award for visual effects thanks to his work on Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. We caught up with Louden to ask him about his work on the film and Remedy’s upcoming Xbox One exclusive, Quantum Break."
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.
Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.
About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.
Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
Remedy Entertainment has announced that they've purchased the full rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games.
Alan Wake 2 was released in October 2023 to worldwide critical acclaim, earning a Metacritic score of 89 at launch. Today, Remedy Entertainment Plc (“Remedy”) announces that Alan Wake 2 has sold 1 million units by the end of December 2023, and 1.3 million units as of the beginning of February 2024. Alan Wake 2 is Remedy’s fastest selling game so far.
"By comparison, Alan Wake 2 sold over 50% more copies and over three times more digital copies in its first two months than Control did in its first four months."
Yes, because it's digital only...
Gonna take awhile to make the money back at that pace, Remedy! Why not admit that you were wrong and release it on BD, like...right now?!
this game deserves so much more. One of my favorite games of 2023. While I would have loved a physical release, I'm not going to willingly not play an amazing game because of some weird pride.
Shame that their fastest seller is just reaching 1 million. They're such a creative studio, and they have really matured since Max Payne. Alan Wake II was the best game last year and more people need to play it.
Want my money? release a physical copy already. I’m can be stubborn and this is one of those things I’m stubborn about. No physical copy no buy for me at least until it’s in the bargain bin. I’d pay full price right now for it on disc.
Seen the movie last night. Space is lethal. I knew this but seeing the danger recreated like that, gives great insight to the dangers. Graphically Quantum Break will be the new Ryse, Folk were already in denial over the games graphics in a older build(Can't be gameplay). Wondering if this game uses Direct3D (11+)- Means Scalable just incase DOESUS throws another fit lol. D3D is part of Directx 11.2
Quantum break will be using directx12, i bet? I find it hard to believe Directx11 can pull of the physics shown in the game at E3
I cannot wait for this game, it just looks amazing. E3 should show a lot more and maybe a release date. I really feel like this game is gonna be ridiculously good.
This and sunset are my current reasons for wanting a xbone. and yes, it's most likely DX 12.
Quantum Break - my reason to get an XBox ONE.
And Congrats on the award for Gravity to Mr. Louden.
Well deserved.
Film is brilliant in it's complex simplicity.
