Worthplaying writes, "To call Alan Wake a "game" is to do it a disservice. While technically correct, Alan Wake is more than just another video game. Much like Batman: Arkham Asylum, Alan Wake is a carefully crafted narrative experience. Yes, there is action and combat, but they aren't the focus. Remedy's goal with Alan Wake was to craft a carefully balanced world that looks normal on the surface, yet hides a dark side within. To this end, the team has succeeded brilliantly, and the resulting roller-coaster ride is well worth the investment."
Max Payne remake and Project Condor have entered full production, while Control 2 is now in the "production readiness" phase of development.
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.

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.
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
Alan Wake 2’s new Night Springs DLC is an excellent reminder of how great the Max Payne remakes are likely going to be on PS5 and Xbox.
Remedy Entertainment's upcoming Max Payne 1&2 remake is set to enter full production in the company's second financial quarter of 2024.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
Another nice score.
