@@saarishtthaman6951 Doesn't really matter as long as it ends up recouping its costs. I'm sure they'd have liked it to sell more, but it'll continue to sell over time - Remedy is very much not new to having their games become profitable thanks to the sales having a long tail on them rather than selling well right out of the gate. And if the game ends up on Game Pass down the road, that'll also give them a fair chunk of change. The game will definitely end up profitable, a fact I suspect both Epic and Remedy are keenly aware of.

@@ForgetfulFoot I agree completely. To me this was best year in gaming since 2010 (which funnily enough was the year original Alan Wake came out) I would say 2023 takes shared 3rd place together with 2008 and 2010 with only 2004 and 2007 as better years in gaming in that order.
@Balnazzardi5 ай бұрын
@@stanislavilkinovam well perhaps to you, but I think there was lot more than just 2. All of the 6 main nominees in game awards were great games and below them there were games like Diablo IV, Hifi Rush, Dead Space Remake, Pikmin 4, Jedi Survivor, Hogwarts Legacy, Jagged Alliance 3, Company of Heroes 3 etc that were all very good games imho too. Best year in gaming since 2010 if you ask me and by large margin to anything that came between 2010 and 2023.

That's exactly how I pictured it: David Harewood, as a host, opens the performance and begins singing along with Matthew Porreta. In the background, Ilkka Villi is dancing with the team, just like in the game, while The Old Gods of Asgard sing behind them. Toward the end of the song, Sam Lake shows up. :) In spite of this, you guys, gave me even more I expected. What an outstanding performance. The best moment about the whole show. I enjoyed this part during the walkthrough and enjoy it now as if I was there and I'm a part of the Remedy team. :) The team really deserves all love. Personal for me AW2 is GOTY.

I've been gaming since the days when pong was the newest thing, and while picking the greatest scene in gaming is a pretty tough call, I'd be hard pressed to come up with one that tops this. It was truly unexpected and technically brilliant. It's great that there are still developers out there who can come up with something genuinely new in a game, and this definitely fits that description. A little sad they didn't win best music though.
