Daily Video Game writes: "Amazon is running a new game sale on dozens of select action-adventure, RPG, shooter, and visual novel games, including huge discounts on AAA titles right now for multiple gaming platforms!"
From Ballblazer to The Witcher 3: unlock the hidden potential of visuals through the best video game soundtracks of all time.
A good list that covers a good variation of different types of video game music needs to have at least a minimum of 25 different games.
There in the list are just 9. And only one of them is from a game older than 10 years. Most of them were released in the last 3 years I think.
Its a shitty list actually..with a shitty headline and a shitty image with zelda, god of war and street fighter while none of them is discussed in the list.
esportdriven.com is now on my list..the list of shitty vg sites.
Remedy Entertianment has revealed that Alan Wake Remastered has broke even, recouping both cost of development and marketing after two years.
Breaks Even!? No profit yet, Is this normal?
Literally started playing it last night in anticipation of starting 2, still gives me the heebie jeebies, super fun game, can't wait to play through Control & AW2 in anticipation of Control 2.
I'm not actually shocked by this news, I think I was more shocked they assumed there was enough demand to even think about making a remaster in the first place, I know there was fans of the original but it definitely wasn't that big of a fan base imo.
The original game was released in 2010 and still looks fine today so a remaster/remake is unnecessary.
I bought mine cause it was made available for ps5. I did have it back in the day for 360 and liked it.
If it took two years for this to break even how long will it take for Alan Wake 2?
Remedy has unfortunately taken a loss on most of their games outside of the first two Max Payne titles. There's been a couple times they've almost completely gone under in the past 15 years. A big part was the original Alan Wake and it's protracted development cycle. Microsoft had to swoop in and fund the completion of Alan Wake which is why for years it was an Xbox 360 exclusive.
Alan Wake 1 is one of my favorite games to comb over and analyze because of its redirect during development. I enjoy seeing the reduction of these once large play areas into semi-open and linear spaces. I'm grateful that things worked out the way they did.
I remember when Control came out a lot of people reported the low sales, but it went on to do very well through sales and word of mouth. I imagine Alan Wake 2 will perform similarly as a continuation of Control and the cult fanbase of the original will also eat it up.
It'll do better than the remaster sure but the first game was niche, so niche it's remaster took two years to break even, it's a game that seems to rely pretty heavily off of previous knowledge, doesn't have a physical copy, out in a busy period surrounded by other great games, and is likely the highest budget remedy game yet (outside of maybe quantum break). No disrespect I'm glad they were able to make this but it's got a lot against it
@BanginTunes - well not everyone re-bought the game when the remaster came out. I know I did, but I'm a diehard AW fan.
I'm surprised AW2 even came to fruition. God knows they had been wanting to make it since the first released but timing and development costs were always an issue until they found a publisher that would help fund it.
And this is why big corporations are after the Gaas money. They make one game and milk it for a decade (at least).
The Monthly Games lineup of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Alan Wake Remastered and Endling – Extinction is Forever will be available to PlayStation Plus members on Tuesday, July 4 until Monday July 31.
Another great month imo. The COD campaign on this one was great fun. I've never played Alan Wake, so a PS5 version of that is a perfect way to prepare for the next one...
You're in for a treat with Alan Wake. It still holds after so many years.
For me it's the best psychological thriller I've ever played that is not Silent Hill.
Alan Wake 2 is my most wished sequel of all time, waiting for it since 2010...
Sweet!! I never got around to playing it on the 360 but always wanted to. Looking forward to next month!!
Agreed. You see I'm surprised that Microsoft hasn't bought remedy...of all the studios in their list....I'd assume remedy would be an obvious based on real actual relationships.
I liked Alan Wake and am super excited for Alan Wake 2. Hopefully turns out great ..I've actually liked ALL of their games including quantum break...except for the TV show part.
I've never bought a CoD game, but now due to PS+, I 'rent' like 8 of them or so. I played one a few times with my nephews. Still not my cup of tea. But, it's interesting to see how many CoD games PS+ can throw at me.
I picked up my copy of it 2nd hand just last Saturday. agghhh. If only I had waited just a little more longer.
