Lmfao

>>724713848
FBC: Firebreak is something that sounds incredible on paper and was excited until I saw the reviews and gameplay. It truly takes incredible lack of talent to produce something this sub par out of a great concept.

>>724714178
It had so much potential but I guess they didn't had enough vision or talent to do it nice

>could've had more kino Alan Wake 2 DLC
>got live service slop instead

even as /v/'s only remaining Remedy fan, I'm disappointed in them

>>724714178
Big budget multiplayer SCP is a cool idea and Remedy showed they can do horror with AW2. The version they just came up with just isn't very good.

I have not enjoyed a single game Remedy made since Max Payne 2...

>>724713848
>Shareholders
How the fuck has a company that's produced so much artsy shit managed to do so answering to the shareholder menace?

>>724714178
Hasn't the concept already been done with Secret Laboratory?
How was Firebreak supposed to be different?

>>724714498
Same, after that I only played AW1 and Control and both of them kinda sucked desu.

>>724714568
They always manage to find someone to fund their games. Microsoft did Alan Wake + Quantum Break, 505 did Control, Epic did AW2. I'm guessing they showed Firebreak to a bunch of publishers and all of the balked at the idea so they ended up publishing it themselves.

Get fucked. They sold out to Epig

>>724714583
Firebreak is more like Left 4 Dead or Killing Floor than an SCP game. You're just shooting at endless waves of dudes while completing objectives. It would be better if it was a SCP ripoff.

>>724713820 (OP)
I'm amazed they had a DBD survivor when they could barely function as a company.
Also why the fuck have a DBD survivor on steam when Alan Wake 2 isn't even on steam, retards.

You niggers calling FBCF live service forget it has an upfront price upwards of a trippleA title from 10 years ago, meaning it's buy2play despite having a cash shop which SHOULD mean it's feature complete on launch. This was common sense last decade.

>>724713820 (OP)
wtf bros how could this happen

i enjoyed control. Can't care less about AWII. From what I peered at it looks like one of those movie games with lot of those largest denominator catering "puzzles".
Control on the other hand was unjustly hated for its best assets such as the open map that's not created in a way to please corridor shooter morons and metroidvania shortcuts.

>>724713820 (OP)
Instead of make bad game why not make good game

>>724714992
Alan Wake 2 is awesome but u less you enjoy the story it’s not for you. Combat Gameplay is middling. Exploration is the most interesting part

>>724713820 (OP)
>sell out to changs

lol
lmfao

Get fucked you little yellow jews

>>724714830
Should I know who the woman is?

>>724714992
The best part about Alan Wake 2 is the atmosphere and the world. I don't think I've been as immersed in a game's world since Santa Monica in VTMB. Every centimeter feels handcrafted and thought out.

>>724714830

>>724715207
Blew my mind when I first realised all the writing in the dark place was either script from the first game or warnings to not write lol

>>724714568
Up until now the artsy shit made money. Not always a lot, but enough.

>>724715398
All of their games end up selling well in the long run. They're just not hits initially. And they know this so they plan ahead by like 2-3 years. Firebreak will be the exception.

>>724715465
I just assumed Firebreak was a b-team training and small income project. Didn't think that much was riding on it between recycles assete and its overall mehness.

>>724715465
Right but that's the point. All of their shit has had long legs on sales because they are single player story games that sell on word of mouth. Firebreak is the opposite of every other product they have ever made.

>>724715165
honestly no, if you know you know but if you don't then you just saved yourself from losing lots of braincells

>>724714716
> Hoard shooter
That... isn't exactly the kind of gameplay my mind jumps to when I think of multiplayer anomaly containment.
Something akin to SS13 with some fat cut off seems more appropriate. One team has to work to keep the facility operational, tending the anomalies to keep them contained. One team is working to destabilize the facility to further their own purposes. You could have multiple different possible antagonist factions, with different approaches, natures and objectives. Some being overt, some being covert, some being mundane, some being supernatural, some wanting to take something from the facility, some wanting to outright raze it. When an anomaly is set loose, perhaps a member of the aggressing teams can elect to pilot it ala L4D.

>renowned Studio specialising in 3rd person mystery-story games
>make shitty GAAS coop-Fps
>WOOOOOW HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN

these morons had Control and could've made an SCP-game which the normies would've DEVOURED, making them millions. Yet they fell for the shareholder-meme

>>724713820 (OP)
AW2 would have sold 5x as much if they didn't raceswap Saga. Companies aren't writing blank checks to woke content anymore, Remember is in trouble.

>>724715991
>SCP SS13

See your idea is a good one and Remedy is allergic to that.

>>724714830
Why it's always fucking nose ring with these people??

>>724716120
I'm like 90% sure they could double their sales of Alan Wake 2 tomorrow if they just put it on Steam. I think the Epic exclusivity deal hurt them way more than Saga being black.

I pirated AW2 because it is impossible to buy

>>724716194
I'm pretty sure that most of their sales are on console. Adding Steam would probably help a little but not a significant amount, especially since they have already given AW2 away on PS+.

>>724716095
People haven't been buying their single player mystery games either. At least not enough to really keep them going.

>>724717139
Maybe.
I could see that being true but AW2 is such a good looking game that I can see a lot of people buying it for benchmarking purposes like Crysis.

>>724716128
>Remedy is allergic to that
They should do it anyway.
Suffering is essential to the creative process and whatnot.

I only play chinese games

Good, after pic related I started wishing them everything that could ever go wrong

>>724714178

>>724717743
>this is cringe, this is reddit, this is cringe

>Alan Wake FINALLY turns a profit

Remedy is one of those companies that should have died already a thousand times over

>>724713848
>it was technically successful
I agree with this statement actually. It kind of looks like polished AAA version of Lethal Company which sold millions of copies. It's not expensive offer either. The game should've performed better considering how popular friendslop is right now.

>>724717998
I don't go to parties they're cringe

>>724717743
I agree I didnt really have strong feelings one way or the other about this game or company but to do this shit at the VGA was self aggrandizing and forced unwarranted self importance. Eat shit.

>>724718076
It would be a better game if it played like Lethal Company. But it's a really shallow wave based FPS that is devoid of content.

We need MORE black women.

>>724718076
They overestimated the appeal of Control as a brand. Most of its sales came from it being a GPU benchmarking and hardware bragging rights game, Firebreak didn't lean into that

>>724717139
>I'm pretty sure that most of their sales are on console.
Yeah because they basically didn't release on PC. If your game is Epic store exclusive then you're basically not releasing it on PC because most PC gamers (rightly) loathe Tim Sweeney and don't use his store.

>>724713820 (OP)
>mfw Alan Wake 2 took almost TWO YEARS to actually become profitable
Reminder these fuckers only released it on EGS and there was no physical release at launch. I swear, you'd think someone WANTED the game to fail.

>>724718360
Tim Sweeney paid $70 million to develop the game which is why it'll never come to Steam.
Well they keep trying to make the EGS a thing anyway.

>>724718360
Isn’t a physical release expensive as hell?

>>724718195
I actually like the game (more the setting really) and even I'll admit that Sam Lake has an out of control ego problem. All the smug finally victorious energy of the game's marketing and promotion really feels unwarranted when you consider the game only got made because of EGS funding and blackrock

ah that's why they stopped producing physical alan wake 2 copies

>>724713820 (OP)
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, asked for this. Should've went with Control 2 instead of trying to serve an infinite revenue hack with a GaaShit.
>>724714830
if I remember correctly, she was a whore so it was probably a business meeting.

You took the bag, Mr. Lake. Time for mandatory diversity. That's alright, you can just race swap an existing character. No one will care.

>>724718634
atleast here in germany it's not in any store and a few left online to buy

Hope the SBI collab was worth it!

>>724718616
They're making Control 2. They just needed something to fill a release gap because they got nothing on their slate until 2027.

Serves them right for pushing a sheboon in my game instead of ahaving x-files kino.

>>724718802
I can't wait for Jesse to become a kenyan woman!

>>724714406
Because no one really cared for AW2. At most people commented about how pretty looking it is and the MEME DANCE. It was heavily shilled by journos, though. Just like with Deathloop.

>>724714178
It was obviously a dud from the get go. Yes, a SCP coop shooter on a big budget sounds great. But Remedy wasn't the studio that could do it. All their games just have very basic enemies, even Control was just about shooting regular possessed humans 95% of the time with maybe 4 or 5 mobs that were suitably "weirds"

>>724719115
Well even less people cared about Firebreak so...

>>724717998
I don't start murdering people in the middle of a party so why should I have some faggot ass musical dance in the middle of my horror game? It's fucking ridiculous
>It's supposed to be ridiculous
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting

Deathloop is actually fun to play.

Sam Lake sadly got too high on his own farts over time.

>>724719274
I dunno anon.

>>724719115
>>724719331
Deathloop is a good game ruined by the fact you can only complete it in a single way...

>>724719115
Deathloop was completely and irreversably dead the moment they announced it wasn't really a timeloop game

How about neither of them? I don't care what women have to say and they can't be action heroes. Alan Wake game should be about misadventures of a schizo man. Not some shitty imitation of tv drama.

>>724718948
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT

So leftist establishment is engaging with Alyssa Mercante to virtue signal their solidarity?

No wonder she doesn't have to pay for her lawyers to fund her case against SmashJT. . . they're doing pro-bono to 'own the chuds'.

No we know where the lines are drawn I hope Remedy flops with their Control 2 game and then has to lay-off staff.

>>724723594
Was that last year? Nothing was beating funko bot

>>724714178
I disagree. The setting is decent, but Control, as a game, was incredibly mediocre and a coop shooter by the same dev had nothing but disaster written all over it even if you ignore the fact that coop shooters are an extremely saturated market.

>>724714498
They need to try mixing it up and make a game that isn't a fucking shooter for once since it's clearly not their strong suit anymore. They want to make atmospheric story-heavy games, but also want to slap the most generic third person shooter on top of it every single time.

>>724719331
It's not awful, but I wouldn't call it fun. It felt like I was just playing Dishonored but with a timeloop gimmick and mystery hook that wasn't explored very well. The timeloop doesn't add enough depth to the levels and the mystery literally solves itself. It's like it's from an alternate reality where the AAA industry decided they wanted to churn out "immsims" monthly, and Deathloop was one of them. It's bland and unremarkable.

>>724717158
Control sold fine, problem is that for whatever reason tor Alan Wake 2 they chose to both release the PC version ONLY on Epic Store and for the console version to be ONLY Digital, they fucked up themselves with those choices

>>724724330
Epic funded & published the game, that's why it's exclusive. Might explain why it was digital only as well. AW2 is the ultimate EGS blackpill - it doesn't matter if the entire industry bands together to astroturf your game, if it's EGS exclusive it won't sell.

>>724724710
It's so funny how EGS paid literally everyone in the industry to shill this game and it flopped precisely because it was on EGS.
And the unnecessary Saga raceswap.

Alan Wake is an incredible franchise and I am tired of /v/ constantly shitting on it. Amazing graphics, kino story and horror done in a unique way that you seldom if ever see from this garbage industry. I would even put Alan Wake 2 in the top 10 greatest games ever made. Way better than Sony's overrated trash like TLOU.

>>724724330
Control was also EGS-exclusive. Control, the AW remake, and AW2 have all been. They agreed on it before it was abundantly clear that publishing on EGS would kill your sales. Now that that contract is up, they're working with Annapurna instead and they've been a solid publisher in my experience. Their games will still be shit though.

>>724714584
KYS, AW1 is kino

>>724717158
We're not buying the nigger games. Simple as. If you want our money you need to start pandering to us, then we'll consider it.

Can't they just make Control 2?

>>724714178
All they had to do was make everybody Max Payne so that you could finally invoke multiplayer bullet time

>>724725531

>>724725569
Good. I really liked the first game.

>>724714178
It got mogged by a $10 streamslop game that promotes actual cooperation and has zero microtransactions attached to it.

>>724714830
>>724722358
Why is anyone really surprised? Back when Remedy was making Quantum Break their own website mentioned how they refuse to hire finnish people in favor of more "international skills". And the first image of these new international hires was a fat Karen with purple hair. Remedy got too cozy with California and inherited their values and ignorance of the real gaming market.

That's the thing about original stuff, anon. Nobody knows that they wanted it. And I did.

I have never heard of this game
What even is this about?

>>724718076
As a Firebreak player I can say that it is a fun time, but it's an awfully short time. You can get through all of the content in 10-15 hours which is painfully short for a big multiplayer title. This is especially worse when you realize Helldivers 2 is the same price, Deep Rock (which it heavily takes from) is cheaper than it, and both games have far more content in them even at their respective launches.

>>724713820 (OP)
I still have no clue what this game even is. The few clips I've seen of it makes it look really bizarre

Fuck saga
Fuck making Nordic mythos about niggers

She's so fucking cute. There is chemistry in that unlike the ape, where they had to include story-mental gymnastics to make her part of the story.

It's the universe's karma that comes for them.

Remedy is the most overshilled studio.
