I guess we’re DMC now. I loved Control and AW2, but the gameplay for both was so-so. Glad to see they’re branching out, this looks awesome.
I love control’s gameplay, (didn’t like aw so skipped aw2 until my library has a free copy) I’m excited for everything about this. It is my favorite video game universe
Thank you Remedy for not Epic-jailing this like with Alan Wake 2! That game is such a masterpiece that more people need to play 😭
man, i was hoping for less action more puzzles. the setting lends itself so well to that.
Trailers gonna trail though. Explosions sell, the game could be 99% puzzle for all we know :)
considering the previous entry, who knows.
This could be a rare day-1 buy for me, assuming they’re not doing the Epic exclusive bullshit.
Edit: The Steam page is already up, so that’s good.
To be fair to Remedy they only partnered with Epic to get them to fund AW2, it was either a GameStore exclusive or no game to release.
Glad to see this on steam though.
I wish more people realised this. Alan Wake 1 sold really poorly, but Sam Lake and Remedy had really really wanted to make a sequel forever and literally no other publisher would touch the franchise. They tried to talk Microsoft into it but got funding refused and had to make Quantum Break instead.
Epic was their only chance to get to do their passion project, it’s not like I can blame them.
Exactly this. I didn’t like it but I held my nose for it and it was worth it.
Same, as long as it’s not 70 eurodollars
Please be good. 🙏
Let’s fucking goooooooo!!!
I am so ready for another Remedy game
I see they’re following in Hades two’s footsteps and making the protagonist the original game’s sibling. Looking forward to this! Leaving the Oldest House certainly opens up some possibilities. I hope there are still unaffected Bureau personnel to interact with still.
I mean, the sibling you’re now playing as had a pretty big role in the first game, so it’s not that surprising. And considering that a shift in style and genre would be awkward as a direct sequel where you play the same protagonist again, so there was an obvious choice to mix things up a bit.
Big Inception vibes, really looking forward to this one as I loved Control but didn’t like Alan Wake 2 that much
Same. I loved control, gave up on the AW “games” after about 30 minutes each.
Damn, is this an action game?! Only reason I didn’t like the first game is I hated the shooting. If this is truly an action RPG, like it says on Steam, with no shooting, I’m down.
I hope there are launchers and air combos and shit.
I missed the news about a sequel and was popping off when this showed up. Hoping it’s not as resource hungry as AW2 was, but excited either way. Control was amazing.
I’ve been waiting my whole life for an action game with a shillelagh 😝
I was not expecting a hack’n’slash, but this surprise is very welcome.
I love the Remedyverse and where it is going. So hyped!
