Sam Lake INTERVIEW: The Intersection of Narrative in Games, Films, and Literature

[@EaveandDathan]

Sam hasn't aged a bit since the first Max Payne.

[@penyuwan]

Its Payne, Whack Em!

[@DocFlint]

IT'S PAYNE!

[@TheLeibnitz]

I had no idea Sam Lake (Sami Järvi) was Finnish.

[@MerlautJones]

John Prior What you mean in Max Payne? Sam was just the character model, didn't voice act at all.

[@frenchcoupon3391]

Every time he said « Control », Sam was nodding :)

[@Mizra-dq3lj]

He was like 'how did you know!?'

[@KingIjazMalik]

Thanks For This Interview Polygon

[@crimsonfocker3823]

I love his writing style

[@MattHall]

Glad to see Sam admit that Quantum Break is somewhat flawed. I really look forward to them experimenting more with those ideas in the future.

[@OhStylo]

Had my headphones off. At the start I thought instead of a phone he was pulling a gun saying "IT'S PAYNE!!!" like the Thugs in MP1 say.... lmao. WHACK THE SUCKER!

[@fadeskywards1245]

THERE HE IS

[@chuckthunder781]

Quantum Break was an interesting experiment but I will say I've heard the idea of mixing in a live action show was originally dreamt up for an Alan Wake sequel and I am very happy that ended up not happening. Experimenting is good but it doesn't always work out

[@Snowpiercer2]

I would say it works amazingly well in Alan Wake 2

[@chuckthunder781]

@@Snowpiercer2 It's definitely implemented a lot better. I was worried when I was playing it this passed weekend and started seeing live action scenes. But they've obviously learned a lot from using it in QB and used it better in Control and now have done a great job with it in AW2

[@thereisnospace]

8:20 i expect to see the story of the game. not the feeling of playing the game. And i want to see it as close as possible. And i think thats why people are dissapointed in the movies because they take too many liberties and do basically a random movie with random people attached to it witch is "inspired by" the game so they can just slap the name of the game ontop of it. *cough cough* the max payne movie. TBH the mel gibson's Payback was a better Max Payne movie that the one with Mark Wahlberg (even though it had a bit more comedic tone)

[@TanyaAxyonova]

Sami is awesome

[@dodger7896]

sam lake with the reface app would be hilarious XD

[@johnwillis3924]

Great work Sam lake ...i really enjoyed playing max Payne...wile drinking coffee lol

[@PenguinCOD]

[@oliviatrollinger2326]

[@solidbhatt]
