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...

taurul304d ago

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...

bloop304d ago (Edited 304d ago )

Sweet!! I never got around to playing it on the 360 but always wanted to. Looking forward to next month!!

Crows90304d ago

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.

Christopher304d ago

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.

LG_Fox_Brazil304d ago

Pretty damn good, I almost bought Alan Wake last month, glad I held my wallet

REDGUM304d ago

I picked up my copy of it 2nd hand just last Saturday. agghhh. If only I had waited just a little more longer.

Knushwood Butt304d ago

Me too, it's been on my wishlist for months. Glad I held out!

Elda304d ago

A pass for me due to playing Cold War & Alan Wake already.

phoenixwing304d ago

Glad I didn't buy cold war or Alan wake. Now I can enjoy them for the stories

Kassanova07304d ago

I was curious about both. Great timing!

Nier Automata is not on the list?
MegaMan X?

TheEnigma313106d ago

Where is Castlevania SotN? By far 1 of the best ever soundtracks

Terry_B106d ago (Edited 106d ago )

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.

Alan Wake Remastered Breaks Even After Two Years

Remedy Entertianment has revealed that Alan Wake Remastered has broke even, recouping both cost of development and marketing after two years.

Stuart5756176d ago

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.

Gamingsince1981176d ago

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.

CantThinkOfAUsername176d ago

The original game was released in 2010 and still looks fine today so a remaster/remake is unnecessary.

shinoff2183176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

I bought mine cause it was made available for ps5. I did have it back in the day for 360 and liked it.

BanginTunes176d ago

If it took two years for this to break even how long will it take for Alan Wake 2?

Yui_Suzumiya176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

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.

SyntheticForm176d ago

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.

Concertoine176d ago

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.

Neonridr176d ago

AW2 will do significantly better sales wise.

BanginTunes176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

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

Neonridr173d ago

@BanginTunes - well not everyone re-bought the game when the remaster came out. I know I did, but I'm a diehard AW fan.

coolbeans176d ago (Edited 176d ago )

Hard to say, but its current buzz suggests it'll fare better.

Yui_Suzumiya175d ago

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.

Yui_Suzumiya176d ago

Well I bought it for Switch and my laptop so I'm helping I suppose

Shane Kim176d ago

And this is why big corporations are after the Gaas money. They make one game and milk it for a decade (at least).

badz149176d ago

They should have launch it on GP, amirite, guys?

babadivad176d ago

They would have broken even a lot sooner if they had.
