I don't get hyped for games anymore. I'm too old, I've seen too much and been disappointed too often. But did you just fucking seen that sheeeeeeeeeeeet?!!!!

I’m sure it will be a great game, but I still wish we could play Jessie with similar mechanics to the 1st, I just loved the gameplay. But I trust Remedy, they have always delivered, so looking forward to this one
I don't think I entirely understood what the hell was going on in Control but I really enjoyed playing it. The way they integrated Alan Wake into the story was brilliant.
Hopefully, this will be just as much fun to play and maybe even understand... 🤣
It's kind of messy if you're not already into the scp / weird fiction vibe, but I'd totally suggest looking into the lore of the series. It's very good.
And watch The Lost Room, a 3 episode mini series that came out in 2006 and must be the inspiration for Control.
A lot of the story only kind of makes sense because it's deliberately about things that are beyond human understanding. You get the story mostly through the eyes of humans who understand most (but not all) of the "what is happening" but almost none of the "how" or "why".
Not an Epic exclusive on PC, yay! I'm sad that the masterpiece Alan Wake 2 was fucked over so much by not releasing on Steam, glad they aren't repeating that
Epic was actually the publisher (So no Steam) and gave Remedy free hands in development and funding. It took some time but the game is now making profit. Epic takes 50%.
Yeah, which means it will probably never be released on Steam, which is even worse than the timed Epic exclusives where they pay to keep games out of other store fronts for a year or whatever. Even Microsoft and Sony are rarely doing full exclusive releases like this anymore.
You'd think a developer as well known as Remedy would be able to find funding from a less restrictive publisher. Fucking Epic
By only releasing in epic, they were able to make it cheaper. It is what it is.
I loved Control, it had such a great setting and amazing world building that was constantly reinforced in your surroundings.
The Oldest House was an amazing place. I hope they can match it with the new area, a city just isn't the same.
As someone who didn't like Max Payne as much as other others, I'm loving this new era of Remedy.
That being said, I'm waiting for them to integrate it into the AlanWakeControlQuantiumBreakiverse (or whatever we're calling it) somehow through the remakes.
