I thought the remakes has been in full production for a while now

ElaBosak357d ago

They were making Alan Wake 2

Skuletor357d ago

You mean the game that already released almost 200 days ago now?

The_Hooligan358d ago

Hope they do physical release.

ravens52358d ago

Be another Alan Wake 2 situation if not. I hope they're not that pigheaded. Like really, if they're that petty I won't even wait for a physical release.

LucasRuinedChildhood358d ago

They have a different publisher for Max Payne than they did for Alan Wake 2 (Rockstar instead of Epic) so there probably will be a physical release for Max Payne 1&2 at least.

ElaBosak357d ago

Rockstar is publishing. There will be physical release.

Cacabunga358d ago (Edited 358d ago )

No physical support no buy .. do not screw This up

neutralgamer1992358d ago

Sure Alan wake 2 still hasn’t recovered development cost

ElaBosak357d ago (Edited 357d ago )

What does that have to do with digital release?

neutralgamer1992357d ago

Ela

There are many gamers who will not buy a game if it does not have a physical release, especially for Big blockbusters. So not being on steam and not having a physical release definitely has a lot to do with the fact they have yet to make that development cost back

I myself want to buy it on steam and I will also buy a physical version on PS five or Xbox if it becomes available but I will not spend a single penny on epic Store. I just want one storefront and one game launcher. I have no other reason to hate on epic or any other storefront.

ElaBosak357d ago (Edited 357d ago )

You think the physical games market is big? Have you looked at statistics from publishers between physical vs digital sales? Physical sales are almost irrelevant.

Neither Steam nor especially physical release have anything to do with it. Alan Wake 2 is inherently niche and not mainstream by any means. It would never have gotten a big audience and that's fine. Remedy and Sam Lake got to make the game of their dreams.

neutralgamer1992356d ago

I am sorry I disagree completely. Yes physical market isn’t as big as digital but it still accounts for almost 30%. On top of that having the game on steam would have meant a lot more sales. These 2 points are facts and can’t be argued

To lose money again? Do you want them to close?

ElaBosak357d ago

Wdym lose money? How big do you think the physical games market is?

darksky358d ago

Max Payne is a far better franchise than Alan Wake. This should be good.

I hope it will deliver.. we deserve a good Max Payne remake

HansyJ154d ago

We deserve nothing, but the legacy of Max pain deserves it

Cacabunga153d ago

Max Payne fans deserve a good remake. Maybe that is more clear

The_Blue153d ago

' but the legacy of Max pain deserves it"
The Max Payne legacy deserves it.

SoloZelot90153d ago

Okay...so something digital deserves it but something real doesn't?

DarXyde153d ago

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.

CrimsonWing69154d ago

Um, I’d think that should go without saying… but glad they’re committed to making the quality excellent as opposed to, uh, not.

Gamingsince1981154d ago

Yeah it's kinda weird for them to say that and redundant.

DodoDojo153d ago

Its because they know that they lost trust with the GTA trilogy.

CrimsonWing69153d ago (Edited 153d ago )

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.

jambola154d ago

oh.......thanks
"update, won't suck we hope" lol

VersusDMC154d ago

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.

Profchaos154d ago

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

VersusDMC154d ago

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.

swedishMeatwad154d ago

Wow, breaking news! Developer aiming for excellent quality!

SoloZelot90153d ago

Considering some new releases that's good to hear. It is better than aiming for diversity and inclusion.

Demetrius170d ago (Edited 170d ago )

Playing max payne 2 on ps2 for the first time, lol this series definitely needs a remake. The gameplay is rough😅 still a good game tho I hope they keep that gritty feel to it.

RaidenBlack170d ago

My most anticipated remake(s)

isarai170d ago

Cant wait to see how this turns out. Max payne with Control's level of physics and destruction would be amazing. AND IT BETTER HAVE A PHYSICAL RELEASE

I agree

But rockstar is bringing back that ip about time now drag out a fix for those steam games that are using pirated versions like manhunt Rstar.

I hope this game does not turn out to be broken because it used a pirated version as a base.

Amplitude255d ago

Brother I have no idea what you're talking about

just_looken255d ago (Edited 255d ago )

@Amplitude

Right this is n4g......

https://www.youtube.com/wat...

https://x.com/__silent_/sta...

https://www.techspot.com/ne...

Or just look it up yourself

rockstar tossed out midnight club/manhunt/max payne 2 on steam they are all still unplayable but the community members that read the game files and know how to mod revealed they are original pc versions from cracked websites. Silent showed how one 2004 game still has the signature left from the crack team "razor".

Right now you can pay over $30usd for these games that have code/files from hackers/modders rockstar did nothing to make them work on modern system's but at the same time never bothered to fix the cracked version to stop the anti piracy measures they put in place therefor the games go hacker hacker alert then lockup. Oh the patch to go around the measures is out there on the www on the steam review page for the games people leave links to dump sites that still have the files to patch the game to make them work.

Tldr rockstar tossed 3 games out but they had hacker/modded files another team fixed there screwup so legit pay users half to use 3rd party who knows were/who made files to make there games work that they paid for.

badz149256d ago

they are yet to be profitable with AW2 but have 2 games under development? Remedy must thank that Fortnite money that they are still allowed to make games haha

Kingrizzy90256d ago

Is max Payne a remake for just 1 or both 1 and 2?

Dirty_Lemons255d ago

It's both games repackaged into one remake dude
