Remedy Entertainment reveals that Alan Wake 2 has sold over two million units and begun accruing royalties.
Remedy Entertainment has revealed that Max Payne 1 & 2 remake has achieved critical development goals, while Control 2 is in full production.
I have seriously HIGH hopes for these remakes, hope they can live up to my own hype 🦖.
Remedy says there's always a big challenge trying to match creative ambition with realistic budgets, and how many units you can sell.
I wish they had released a Steam version on launch. I feel that should have been part of their focus right away from announcing the game.
Would have made up alot of ground had they have released a physical version at the same time as the digital release.
I think thats where it bit them in the bum to be honest.
Weren't they whining over not breaking even a few weeks ago? No all-of-a-sudden they're talking about overspending on the budget?
The upcoming Max Payne remake should have a huge focus on destruction, allowing players to completely wreck in-game environments.
The second game had state of the art object physics for its time. Don't see why the next step of that can't be done.
I can see the subway tiles popping now!
Day one for sure and finally a remake for a game truly worthy of a remake.
I have REALLY high hopes for these remakes, hopefully we can see something this year and it lives up to my expectations.
If it comes to PC, I just hope they are able to get the game performing well. Maybe 1440p/60FPS without the use of frame-gen or upscaling would be possible?
This PC generation of software and game engines (mostly UE5) have become a joke about fake frames, fake resolutions, and fake performance. Meanwhile, both AMD and Nvidia(not Intel) are trying to sell you fake cards at a fake MSRP based on fake performance uplifts.
Stick with the 3080. Unfortunately I wasn't in the PC seen during those cards but don't see a reason to go for the next gen cards when they're on par with the 40 series. Regarding AMD I also don't think you need to upgrade to rdna 4 for the improved FSR as I visually couldn't tell too much a difference ..sure it's sharper but whatever.
I'm thinking of building something this year....gonna try a macroatx build with AMD setup.
I hope to be able to build something that will easily handle future titles like this remake at 1080p.
I was one of the lucky ones who was able to get an early launch model 7900XTX when they dropped. I will NOT be upgrading any time soon. Once customers demand a working and performant game for their money, maybe devs will be more open to optimization and QA passes before release. Charging $70+ for a base level beta test is a joke in and of itself.
Enjoyed the gas canisters and their unpredictability. It felt so unscripted and sometimes it was really funny seeing them shoot past you. 😆
Probably would have sold a lot more had it been available physically at launch. I feel like Remedy's greed will eventually close them down.
It took too many wrong decisions like EGS exclusivity and no physical edition.
I'm glad this finally broke 2 million units sold, but Silent Hill 2 hit that goal in far less time and on fewer consoles. Remedy really needs to rethink putting its games on EGS.
Good to hear. Next time do a Physical release day 1.
