"There comes point in game developer’s lives where excitement can sometime make you forget about the long road. At least, that is the case for the Finland-based company, Remedy Entertainment. Recently, they finally put out their first next-generation title since Max Payne, Alan Wake. Over the past six years, this game has hit many speed bumps. In fact, back in 2007, there was a possibility that the game was cancelled. Fortunately, this was not the case; however on the flip side, the Pc version was, indeed, never meant for release. Before I go on, I just want to state that this just completely my thoughts on why it did not sell. I own the game, and play it daily."
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.
Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.
About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.
Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
Remedy Entertainment has announced that they've purchased the full rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games.
"I own the game, and play it daily."
is he just saying that to try and avoid fanboy hate?
i mean i played it and loved it but it's not the sort of game i would 'play daily' unless he's going for all the manuscripts 1 at a time?
This game is amazing! I don't get people who say it's not!
Screw all those critics, I've played FF 13 and Alan Wake and I loved them.
Plus I hate how this guy's opinion is like a fact, "Alan Wake Gets Lost in the Woods"
IT'S YOUR OPINION, IT'S NOT A FACT!!!
With a 81 average this game failed to be AAA. Not that it is a bad game but it is hyped to be the best game this year.
at how incredibly average alan wake was.
It didnt even surpass silent hill 2 which is 1 of my all time survival horror psychogical thrillers. Alan wake is a bore and a chore.
