Sam Lake: The Remedy story so far - Digital Dragons 2017

Remedy’s Creative Director Sam Lake takes you on a magical mystery tour through the past 20 years of Remedy Game history - Max Payne, Alan Wake, Quantum Break - the storytelling, characters and the worlds.
The presentation gives you a walkthrough of the methods and the madness, and (as a bonus level) thoughts on games yet to come.

I love watching this man talk. Sam Lake is the greatest gaming storyteller around.

[@SKIROW]

He is

[@mrblonde609]

Don't forget his great hair. Damn, this man has great hair for a man in his late 40s. I am 30 and i wish i had his hair. Yeah, random comment, but damn.

[@imaclownsnose1473]

He's good but don't forget Neil druckman and hideo Kojima

[@erminioottone1344]

Stefano Matta Kojima is a better game designer, but for the stories, Sam Lake is the number one in the world.

[@v-trigger6137]

He Is The Hideo Kojima Of Europe 😁

it was 20 years ago that they shot these photos for the comics in max payne 1 - and Sam Lake still looks the part now.

"We're hiring" I'm so stupid for not having been born 10 years earlier and not getting a Master's degree in game design. Being honest now, working for Remedy Entertainment would be a dream come true, but I know nothing about how to make a game.

[@BossZnakemaster]

Great presentation. I love all the games that remedy has created. A part of me still wish they had the license for Max Payne, but i'm also happy they branched out because i love Alan Wake so very much and i can't wait to see what their next project is.

[@jesusgomezcope1744]

One question, why didn't he mention Max Payne 3 at all? I've been skipping trough some parts, maybe I missed it, but I haven't seen it in the pannels of the Max Payne franchise though, nor have i seen Sam talk about it after he finished with M.P. 2. Feels like they are embarrased with the game or something.

[@Anw4rr10r]

I don't think he or Remedy worked on it. That could be the reason why.

[@jesusgomezcope1744]

@@Anw4rr10r apart from that, i get the impression he has some hard feelings about that fact. It's natural too, since they took away from them a franchise they had worked very hard on. Actually, is the one that put them on the big league, I guess. It's sad, because the game (in my opinion) has some very damn good quality. It's not the Max Payne Remedy had created, but it's a very good Max Payne altogether, I liked the new direction.

[@strangerkop2304]

@@jesusgomezcope1744 cause rockstar games bought the max payne. max payne 3 not a remedy game

[@harry1178]

@@jesusgomezcope1744 From what I heard Remedy was consulted for Max Payne 3 and Remedy approved the game. I love all the Max Payne games, even if the 3rd one wasn't made by Remedy, Rockstar did an amazing job, they didn't rush the development or anything, they really took their time and it shows

[@jesusgomezcope1744]

@@harry1178 it paid off, too, because they used Max Payne 3 as a steping stone for the shooting mechanics in red dead redemption. The gameplay in MP3 is superb, is one of those games i come back to once in a while. The atmosphere, the soundtrack, the dialogue... I just love it. It's greedy, it's dark. I dont want to look down on the two first games of the franchise, because I love them too, they have a different vibe, but sometimes I felt the plot got a little convoluted in MP2.
