>Alan Wake 2 bombing so hard it failed to make a profit to this day>absolutely no one played FBC Firebreak>implying Max Payne remake is still happening after McAffrey's deaththis might unironically be Remedy's last game. Damn
theyll be fine
>>733733698No Redhead, no play.
>>733733698I want to bet on max payne making bankEven R* broke even on max payne 2So I don't really know how many people are looking forward to that remake I personally the trilogy but i don't really care much about the remake because all three games are more than playable I played through first one few months ago
God. I hope so.
>>733733698i think resonant should do ok; i saw in a recent investor call they were emphasizing a china-heavy ad campaign. i can see how it could appeal to the wuchang fallen feathers / wukong likers of the world. the game looks pretty nice generally and they seem to be actively avoiding any DEI landmines, which control tiptoed towards and almost certainly hurt alan wake 2's performance the max payne games have a pretty timeless film noir aesthetic and i can see zoomers getting into the remakes if they have the right marketing budget and streamer partners
>>733733698I feel like this game is closer to what I wanted from prototype 2 than what prototype 2 actually delivered.
if they want more sales they should openly threaten to kill and advocate for more brutal violence against magatards, conservatives and christians
>>733734798Huh?? Wdym?This looks like DMC game with some interesting movement stuff Prototype was a super hero games with some open world shit and easy but fun movement
>>733733698Alan wake 2 was bankrolled by Timmy Tencent and FBC Firebreak looks like a Control asset flip that cost about treefiddy to develop. They will survive and continue to release garbage.
>>733733698Honestly Resonant looks great. it looks so good that I'm genuinely wondering what the catch is
>>733733698the fact the entire plot is just "everyone is alan wakes writing" makes me less interested in the story
>>733733698Im looking forward to resonant but the best thing about the first one was the bureau building and its architecture. not sure they can deliver that on a city scale
>>733733698I hope so, after the black female protagonist they're better dead.
>>733734983those are the only people who buy games judging by 99% of woke games bombing even from established franchises which is impressive desu
>>733733698>Alan Wake 2 bombing so hard it failed to make a profit to this day wrong.
>>733735597It's surprising it wasn't profitable for so long considering there was no physical release and they took the Epic Store money. Did really no one buy this?
>>733733698>>Alan Wake 2 bombing so hard it failed to make a profit to this day>to this dayLil' bro living under the rock
>>733733698>>Alan Wake 2 bombing so hard it failed to make a profit to this dayWhy do you lie? You've been hoping for this company to suddenly die for several years now.
>>733735656Most PS5s are digital editions.
>>733735741nta but it barely made the money back. thats not good for a flagship title and the egs deal was terrible for remedy
No one has PCs to run these games anymore.
>>733735829>b-b-but [goalpost moving]You fucked up, OP. Choose your lies more carefully next time.
>>733735945Only waitfags and thirdies say this.
>>733735597has Resonant really only been in development for just a year?
>>733735957Im not OP but whatever
>>733733698Shouldn't have gone woke, I'll tell em that much.
>>733735656Locking the game to EGS crippled its sales on PC before it was even released. They did say the game would not get made in the first place if Epic hadn't financed it but still, if they don't release it on Steam the reality is the game will bomb on PC.But it was still Remedy's fastest selling game ever, the problem was that it cost 70$ million to make. Horror games are a niche genre, other than Resident Evil games no other franchise can sell copies in the millions in just a few days or weeks so all in all it's quite likely Remedy still considers it a succes. Control was quite similar and they're doing a sequel so...
>>733733698>gameplay trailer>IS THAT YOU PEACH?>Focus M>Alright, HRRRRRAGH HHHHHAAAAARRRAAAA
Probably not. They made Alan Wake 2 with Epic's free gibs, and if they need to do any new voice lines for the Max Payne remakes they can easily hire someone like Bob Bergen (Porky from Duckman) or Steve Blum (he can do the G-Man voice he did in Psychonauts)
Control was such dogshit and a literal downgrade to American Nightmare. Its literally just a gaytracing tech demo that "critics" slapped a 10/10 on because its packed with mary sue girlbossesEven the obligatory poets of the fall music video sequence was worse than American Nightmares. God damn at least AN was only 4 hours long with a horde mode not a 7 hours repetitive slog spamming the same ability over and over because it 1 shots every non boss enemy
>>733736791That may be true but the Control themed DLC of Alan Wake was maybe the best thing Remedy has ever made, yes even better than Max Payne 2
>>733735305Retconned by Alan Wake 2
>>733736791Shooting in control is much more fun than using the abilities though, headshots always feel goodthrowing objects should only be done as a finisher or for breaking barriers
>>733736895you mean the lake house? that thing was boring
>>733735305I'm sure glad Rockstar took Max Payne away from them before nu-Remedy rape him with their redditverse
>>733735829>the egs deal was terrible for remedyDo we know how much Remedy got paid? Not saying you're wrong, but I never saw any report.
>>733735597Nah, it's true. Your article is wrong.
>>733737163KEK, it really was a blessing in disguise.
>>733735656Why do retards think that Timmy is just handing out free money? He wanted all of that back.
>>733737062I'm surprised you're able to function with taste this bad. Please. Tell me your favorite marvel movie
>>733735169I like Control's take on the supernatural. Very little fancy effects, just things rapidly vibrating and popping into existence.
>>733737168From their 2024 annual reporthttps://investors.remedygames.com/app/uploads/2025/03/remedy-annual-report-2024.pdf
>>733735169It probably will have janky melee combat, as I think this is Remedy's first attempt at melee action. But it should be fine as long as it's serviceable. The first Control didn't have great gunplay, but was good enough to get you through all the set pieces.
>>733736037Waitfags' loss was everybody's loss.
>>733735945It runs on a base PS5. If you don't have a PS5 equivalent system then it means you a running a 10 year old PC. Get a job third worlder.
>>733738175It'll be pretty disappointing if the release combat looks exactly like how it did in the last trailer
>>733738992In this economy?
>>733739268You did vote for jobs, right?
>>733739352I voted for a strong dollar, son.
