Damn, Alan Wake is still in the red. It has been almost a year since it launched.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Alan Woke gone broke.

My concern is how will they manage without James McCaffrey for Max Payne? Who could take over the role? Michael Ironside would be my choice.

 

[Von Hugh]

I guess that means no Alan Wake 3.

 

[Bloobs]

Alan Woke gone broke.

Remakea just in time for the Switch successor?

the arthur morgan voice actor would be my number 1 choice

btw if MP remake is in production now might we see gameplay as early as next year? man i'm so excited for this, i hope they really polish the gunplay so it's not a downgrade from max payne 3

Yeah, hopefully R* helps out with casting. Their casting choices are by far unmatched and unique in the biz. Almost always nobodies that deliver tremendously in the end.

Edit: To be fair, eventhough I love McCaffrey in 1 & 2 and wouldn't have it any other way in 3, he did sound off from the rest of the casting in that game. I didn't believe a lot of his performance in 3.

“Codename Condor (Control multiplayer spin-off)” - butwhy.gif.

Do they really think this can possibly sell well enough including MTX to be worth the cost? Just seems really strange to me.

And for Alan Wake 2, it’s not surprising. They basically don’t sell on PCs (EGS), didn’t have a physical version at release for consoles and overall title seems less popular vs the first game.

Well, it is EGS exclusive so it does not benefit from long legs on Steam

 

[Hudo]

Excited for both Control 2 and the Max Payne remakes. Max Payne 2 is still one of the best third-person shooters ever made.

They can shove that Control multiplayer game up their asses, tho.

 

[Johnny Concrete]

So basically it will be a long time before another Remedy game

Alan Woke gone broke.

They should just clean up his original recordings from the first two games and carry it over. Using anyone else would be completely insulting and just wouldn’t feel right.

I’m sure they’ll fuck it up in some way. Don’t be surprised if you read that they’re “Updated for modern audiences” in the near future. Alan Wake 2 was already one of the worst games Ive played in years so faith is at absolute zero for this one.

We remain in the era of remakes.

 

[Hudo]

We remain in the era of remakes.

It wouldn't be that sad if we got remakes that are at the very least on par with the original every time.

But no, we also can get absolute fucking dogshit like WarCraft 3: Reforged or the GTA Trilogy remakes.
I do have faith in Remedy to not fuck up the Max Payne remakes, tho.

 

[SF Kosmo]

Control is my favorite Remedy game, even though I found the story to be mostly nonsense, so I am looking forward to a sequel.

 

[fatmarco]

Just please god, make sure the Max Payne remakes have less Sam Lake self insertion, not more.

I'm somewhat glad Alan Wake 2 under performed commercially. I think a lot of their creative decisions in that game were a mistake despite it having a lot of good qualities.

Not that it having better creative decisions would have done much for it commercially, not enough people give a shit about Alan Wake as a series to justify that games production and budget.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Damn, Alan Wake is still in the red. It has been almost a year since it launched.

Would have been interesting to see how things would have gone if the game had launched day 1 on Steam.

Very likely that it would have sold much better.
Chances are the game would be already profitable.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Don't want, don't need.

 

[Humdinger]

I'm interested in the Max Payne remakes. Max Payne 2 was one of my favorite games of that generation - so well-paced and written. I've tried to go back and replay the originals, but I can't get used to the controls. I'd check out a good remake, though. Sounds like it's still a couple years away.

Let's just hope they don't mess it up.

It’s fucking pathetic.

Just made it 10x easier to pass on

 

[cinnamonandgravy]

these'll be really interesting

could be excellent
could be garbage

tone and gunplay will be critical

max payne 2 had such replayability.
so much fun replaying levels as NPCs
