Doc Watson from GamersFTW writes: "Quantum Break's most promising feature was its combination of video game and digital series, fusing the two mediums together in the hopes that they would create a more engaging experience for both of them. Unfortunately, the experiment did not go quite as planned, and Remedy's attempt to combine the two mediums says a lot about transmedia engagement, and why we need to treat it better than we do."
Remedy has outlined its major goals for the Max Payne remakes, stating that it intends to capture commercial and critical success.
I'm not much of a Remedy gamer beyond Alan Wake, but I can't say I've ever heard anyone complain about the quality of the product, whether we like the game or not.
Um, I’d think that should go without saying… but glad they’re committed to making the quality excellent as opposed to, uh, not.
I don’t think Remedy had anything to do with that. I get you’re referring to a publisher, but you wouldn’t think a developer would be reassuring people about their game when a different developer made a game that dropped the ball that’s under the same publishing umbrella.
Like, why would From Soft have to assure us that they’re game will be be striving for excellence if Namco Bandai is publishing and they’re referring to something like Unknown 9: Awakening?
This is just a weird statement no matter how you spin it, but also good to know.
Well rockstar is paying the bills so they have to project confidence so it isn't cancelled.
What I'm wondering is who is going to voice Max since the og actor died or they are using the old VO like MGS3Remake.
Rockstar has always had a great relationship with remedy this isn't some new fly by night partnership they have worked together for 20 plus years now
Max payne 2 was the last time they worked with rockstar in 2003. And it bombed.
Rockstar asked remedy to check out Max Payne 3 for notes but were not really involved.
So having worked on a project 20 years ago doesn't mean they have been working together for 20 plus years.
Considering some new releases that's good to hear. It is better than aiming for diversity and inclusion.
Remedy will self-publish Control 2 as part of a new "strategic cooperation agreement" with Annapurna. A press release accompanying the announcement says Annapurna will provide half of Control 2's development budget, and in return gains the rights to adapt Control and Alan Wake for film and television.
This isn't about the store. Epic published the game on all platforms. They want to self publish because they couldn't recoup Alan Wake 2's budget.
...because Epic chose to restrict its PC release to the Epic store and completely restrict it's physical release until later this year.
It’s connected, though. They couldn’t recoup the costs because Epic restricted the places and formats where the game could be released, literally removing the biggest PC distribution channels from the equation. And they also sold the game cheaper than a traditional full release, solely to support their statements at the launch of the Epic Games Store that PC games would be cheaper if it weren’t for Steam.
Dang, nice ... Alan Wake II is an amazing game
Can't wait for Control 2 and Max Payne Remakes
Not sure why your getting down voted because you found Alan Wake 2 amazing. I'm in the same boat as you. Can't wait for Control 2 & the Max Payne remakes. Max Payne 1 & 2 were some of my favorite pc games from my early teens lol.
Coz N4G logic.
You cant praise a game if its got no physical release, not releasing on PS etc
While there’s likely already a list behind closed doors, one can still speculate and offer logical suggestions for titles new and old that should find their way into the PlayStation and Switch libraries.
That’s up to Microsoft they want return on there investment. From buying up those publishers. That’s what there in business for. And they made a mistake putting day one exclusive on game pass. So now Microsoft wants to profit any way they can.its called buisness . Just like Sony putting games on pc a year are two after ps5 launch.
So if they can make money off PlayStation and Nintendo. They will do that. And I bet soon real soon they will release some aaa exclusives .and I bet one day it will be same day release
Yeah, because random site off the internet represents all Sony gamers, they have the letter of attorney and all...
We don’t care about shovelwares. Get that junk out of PS5
Some of these seem to be exclusive for lack of enthusiasm of the publisher rather than because of deals. A lot of cool indies skip ps for some reason like katana zero, el paso, elsewhere and gunbrela
Quality over quantity, Microsoft got some really interesting and curated niche games on their machines, maybe in part because of gamepass
Alot of indies skip xbox to. It goes round and round. Personally I think your off base on that but no need to have the argument.
Between katana zero, valheim, Battletech, el passo... I don't feel off base. maybe ps got a million of light novel games that will never release on Xbox but like I've said, I'm talking about niche games highlights, the 10%.
Heck, it's probably thanks to Microsoft that the s.t.a.l.k.e.r games came to console ps included, meanwhile Sony backwards compatibility continues to be extremely anemic.
And I'm sure most ps5 users are happy to ignore these games and just play wathever new 3rd person action game is trending but it's cool that Microsoft gives some love to smaller audiences and software preservation
Again your off base just to be snide. All it's showing though is your ignorance.
One light novels wtf is that even. Ps has plenty of pretty damn good indies.
Speaking of indies and ms being responsible. You know F.I.S.T. of course you do alot of you guys just support gamepass. Well here's a history of Sony being responsible for helping indies. Look up the China project from Sony.
Lastly lol your ignorance showing again. Sony has plenty of games. Personally third person is better then first anyway but that's besides the point. Sony gets so many games that xbox doesn't get because yall don't support the games. Jrpgs being a great example. I personally am not into every Sony first party game. Alot of us aren't. On the other side you don't get to eat often so you gobble up everything. Me personally God of War not my cup, etc. For me I'm into jrpgs and ms just can't touch Sony on those. Again because the Xbox base doesn't support it. Devs dont wanna waste their time or money. Hit me up when falcom develops a game over there.
Speaking of third person narrative games. Aren't yall drooling over hellblade 2. The first one was Sony exclusive at one point. Another not my cup game. Showing we don't have to fall in line and agree we love everything Sony puts out. The facts are they sell though unlike elsewhere(not nintendo)
They really think PlayStation fans would want to play Redfall? Pfft.
Personally nothing on that list would be any game I’d want to play.
I’d absolutely love Hellblade 2, Palworld, and Quantum Break on ps5 as I’m sure tons of others would too. There’s nothing wrong with wanting games from another console and its sad that people try to act like they aren’t interested in them.
Sunset Overdrive makes very good sense. Palworld might.
Don't know about the others. Hellblade II does make sense given the original launched on PS4 first. Quantum Break was a massive letdown for me. I absolutely hated the whole TV show thing and I don't think anyone should have to relive that on modern hardware.
Pretty bold statement....
Similar as game to movie? Always pans
It is a shame it didn't really work, but kudos for trying I guess. Perhaps things like this will work better with VR coming into focus.
It was a good attempt and I enjoyed parts of it. That said, I rather they stick to in-engine cut-scenes in the future.
The acting and production value was very good though.
