[@robnickerson7819]

Diggin this game. I love how the voice actor for Max Payne is in the game as well. Hell yeah. Game design reminds me of Dead Space the way you navigate one giant area. In DS its the Ship in this its the Building. I love it

[@aurumthebrave3427]

Oh shit instant buy.

[@DeathBringer769]

Yup, it's James McCaffrey, who tends to work with Remedy on most of their games. He's one of my favorite voice actors. He was even in Alan Wake as Thomas Zane and Alex Casey, just wasn't the main character like in the Max Payne games ;)

[@GreedAndSelfishness]

Alan Wake and Max Payne both in this.

These rapid fire interviews are the best thing on KZbin. I wish they had been happening for years, so there was a giant backlog I could binge-watch.

[@SeanDS89]

Perfect interview: equal parts silly, funny and informative. And idk why exactly but this interview made me more excited for the game.

[@PawasTastic]

I love the last question - callback to 'The Fridge Duty'

[@blazaybla22]

8:01 So perfectly put. I think it starts out as a quasi-horror game and becomes less so at an inverse correlation to the character progression as you develop that power to basically Magneto everything in your path. (But the fact that they were self aware about this was something that helped make its design aesthetic so effective.) Rant: Incidentally I think this is also why so many horror games with combat components lose a lot of tension once you get a shotgun. It's tricky to do something between the more modern school of horror games (Amnesia, Outlast, etc) that have no combat at all and thus imo lose some dynamicity in gameplay, and the older school of horror games that have a lot of action so once you get better weapons like shotguns and flamethrowers the horror disappears. Of course the early Silent Hill games were really effective at straddling that line; the best I've seen in the last few years was The Assignment and The Consequence DLC for The Evil Within 1. You rarely use a gun but your flashlight performs a lot of gun-like functions which I thought was super cool and made for really solid horror gameplay.

[@ParagonSuperNova]

I'm so hyped for this. It looks extremely intriguing. Plus that rapid fire interview felt like 200 questions shockingly its only 94.

[@KRooster]

"Can you make with your mouth the volume that my PS4 fan will be at playing this game?" What a great question.

[@csh1921]

Ironically, the caterpillar eating plants game does exit, and it’s called….. “Caterpillar” 😂

Seth Ledyv no, it just sucked ass. Thanks to the awful studio behind it, same shits that make Just Cause series 🙄

[@FalloutWanderer-uq5sh]

Control looks incredible visually and on a technical level. Digging the premise. As far as I'm concerned Remedy haven't made a bad game yet. This looks like Max Payne meets Alan Wake, speaking of which I'd love to see not only Alan Wake 2 but a Remedy developed Max Payne again! I really enjoyed MP3 but to me nothing can beat the first two MP games, especially MP 2. If G.I. coverage is as extensive for Control compared to The Outer Worlds I cannot wait.

[@FalloutWanderer-uq5sh]

Look up Sam Lake, one of Remedy's top devs, lead writer/Narrative desinger (last I checked) he has a unique sense of humor. If you've ever played Max Payne 1 you've seen him, it was his face on the char. model lol. Love Remedy games, still holding out some hope that we eventually get an Alan Wake sequel/spiritual successor/Prequel, something AW! Control looks great so far.

[@timoyr2954]

Yes, but even more extreme than him, especially when speaking in another language. We understand and write english quite well, but because our mother tongue is so different from most, we try to just repeat the words we are confident you'll understand (mostly "yes" and "no").

[@SG-pc4sv]

I bought the Quantum Break Timeless collector edition for PC, it had a Beautifully designed diary in it, Remedy covered their entire journey in it. They explained why they had to sell Max Payne rights to 3D Realms and 2K. Despite being in this industry for almost 20 years now, they are still somewhat of a small independent yet super talented studio consisting of 50 odd people. They have to work on an idea than pitch that idea to bigger publishers. If a particular game such as Quantum Break didn't do well in terms of sale, they'd be unable to continue with the franchise. Microsoft is not Sony! If you can remember, Killzone 1 was a terrible game but Sony gave Guerilla Games a second chance and later on that studio did wonders by creating masterpieces such as Killzone 2,3 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

[@Epcvan_LvC]

In the interview, they did say they dont like to make sequels so I think they don't want to do one in the first place

[@bobjenko]

@@Epcvan_LvC They wanted to make a sequel to Alan Wake but couldn't because of Microsoft, so it's probably a bit of both.

[@DragonBallG69]

This game looks so fucking cool. It really looks like it's trying to do shit different from everyone else, and that's exciting to me.

[@StriderZessei]

I think it's interesting he said it will be Mature. Gameplay videos I've seen look much more like a T, as far as language, blood and gore go.

[@FuzzyDlop]

Yeah...except, you know, it's the exact same game Remedy has been making for the past 18 years and the same one they released has a web series with short gameplay parts on X1 and PC.

[@DragonBallG69]

Strider Zessei a game doesn't have to have violence and explicit language to deal in maturity. Presentation and/or themes alone can carry a game into mature territory. The Last Guardian is one random example that comes to mind. There's extremely minimal violence and no course language to think of, but it's definitely not a game for children.

[@StriderZessei]

@@DragonBallG69 that's true, but for some reason, the ESRB doesn't take such things into account when rating a game; they only look at things like nudity, language, etc.

[@DragonBallG69]

Strider Zessei yea here in Australia we get 'Mature Themes' on the classification label, but it's literally meaningless as pretty much all games warrant it.

[@chrissummers1556]

I like that Remedy's games aren't too scary. So you can actually enjoy the game. And he says this isn't a horror game either which is promising.

Another person who doesn't know what second party is please educate yourself from time to time. i give you a rundown to explain in plane English, first party means first party games first and only to that platform basically exclusives and third party means multiplatform and thats well known but second party means a third party developer works on a exclusive game for that company for example Bloodborne and Detroit become human and Until Dawn were all second party titles on PS4 just as Remedy were a second party to Microsoft for a number of years i hope that clarifies a few things.
