>uhmmm but have you looked at the sales numbers
dont care im still buying Control 2 day one
it looks kino at least
Please tell me there's a way to raise the camera. All these screenshots have the protag taking up 80%+ vertical space on screen. I loved Control, but even with Jesse taking up much less screen space it was still annoying especially with the OTS cam
I've been trying figure out why I have zero desire to play this. I really liked the first but this one seems to have dialed up the tryhard wackiness that comes accross pretentious. It's just so offputting.
I felt similar to Control. I wanted to like it so much but it came across tryhard as well and I stopped after a few hours.
I think i just don't like nuRemedy
You're either a contrarian who can't acknowledge remedy's artistic growth or, considering you're on Ganker, possibly a closet racist. I'd be willing to wager its one of those two reasons.
>Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake in 2025 >Sam will be part of Death Stranding 2 >Control 2 in 2026 >Alan Wake 3 and Control multiplayer spinoff in 2027
yeah im thinking we won, Lakebros
Was that even enough to pay for the massive industry wide shilling campaign they had last year at launch? I mean it's amazing how literally no one besides the industry's parasites ever talked about this game
>Wow this game wasn't a mainstream hit and popular among the normalhomosexuals who were too busy feasting on the Capeshit sequel and AssCreed Ubislop at the time >heh guess its bad 😀
When the only people talking about it are prostitutes that would sell their own flesh and blood for a couple of bucks, yeah that doesn't really inspire confidence.
Their exclusivity deals include "guaranteed x amount of sales" plus whatever they make on the EGS. It is 100% epic buying copies and counting them as sales.
The "guaranteed X amount of sales" is a safety net if the game FAILS to meet that threshold. It is not Sweeney fluffing the numbers to that point on day 0. It's Epic's way of acknowledging being on their store is a far cry from Steam. The money they pay for exclusivity upfront is not in the form of game sales. That would be similar to a 3rd party distributor buying X amount of copies of a game and the devs reporting it as sales which is fraud.

They also have an alternative exclusivity deal where devs can get 100% of revenue from sales for the 6mo exclusivity period. We don't know if Remedy took that deal or the routine one.

Max Payne was their most profitable and one of their best sellers but instead they decided to go and make Alan Wake, Quantum Break and Control. Imagine how rich they could have been if they stuck with Payne
>graphics advance to the point that games take 4 to 7 years to come out >less and less AAA games each year >constant best selling games
It is obvious that not many people have a big pool to pick from so they are buying what they can. 90% of these games would not survive in the PS2 or PS360 era when AAA were constantly releasing stuff. Graphics doomed us.
Go woke go rich
SHOW ME THE CHAMPION OF LIGHT
I'LL SHOW YOU THE HERALD OF DARKNESS!!
Let it go, Sweet Baby
Great to hear, too bad it's an Epic exclusive, could have sold better if it wasn't for that.
great game
great studio that's doing their best work
literally golden era remedy rn
>1.3 million copies
l m a o
"fastest selling" is such a marketing cope word and doesn't mean shit when you don't even recoup you development cost.
>uhmmm but have you looked at the sales numbers
dont care im still buying Control 2 day one
trump lost
Nazis lost
What do you mean? The left and fascism is currently winning.
theyre the baddies
I realize you're used to talentless massive studios for whatever slop you eat up normally, but Remedy makes their games on an AA budget.
Being proud of consooming shit from a talentless small studio like Remedy isn't good either.
At least put some effort into your kvetching.
>Being proud of consooming shit from a talentless small studio like Remedy isn't good either.
fastest selling just means it sold more on the opening weekend than the others
it's not like it matters, they can lie about it with impunity
there's no way to verify it
no one to question them about it
no repercussion for it
imagine if it hit steam day one
Remedy remains the king of making GotY games no one buys
Kino always wins.

you can
why am i reading like every other day that this game is either one of Remedy's biggest successes or that it lost a ton of money
those two don't contradict each other
Fastest selling means flopping
thats easy when you make nothing else to even compare sales to
>of recent history
>they made 5 games in total
So, it's selling faster than Control?
If it's such a success why is Sam selling his personal domain?

Oh no the little marketer tourist is angry 🙁

He ate BB!
Backstabbing bastard.
>>Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake in 2025
>Winning
Not without McCaffrey you don't.
>In recent history
>last game was 4 years ago
bravo
I hope the next game will come early, Control 2 or some multiplayer stuff
in 2028
>fastest selling
>it took a good while for it to get 300k copies after hitting the humble number of 1 mil
>number STILL wasn't updated
Kek!
>Snoysisters bought Black personman 2
>Xcucks only play whats on WelfarePass
>PCúcks pirate bcs EGS boogeyman
it had no chance
>Snoysisters bought Black personman 2
I thought you were talking about alan wake 2 here tbh
dumbo
thought;past tense and past participle of think
one would imagine since it went on sale the fastest too
[Sad News] It still isn't profitable.
in other words it sold more than control
Was that even enough to pay for the massive industry wide shilling campaign they had last year at launch? I mean it's amazing how literally no one besides the industry's parasites ever talked about this game

I guess anything can be true when you're a schizo.
it looks kino at least
chuds malding hard
Fake news. Only 2 people even played Alan Wake 1. Who would buy the crappy sequel?
>not 70$
>sells more
wow so hard to follow
Joseph anderson liked it
>on bargain bin after just two months
>still in need of shill bots on Twatter
Yeah, Im sure its selling like hot cakes
shit game, only praised by shills
paid shill thread
>Epic exclusive
>the same launcher that buys copies of games en masse in exchange for exclusivity
>selling millions
Uh huh
Epic doesn't literally buy a bunch of CD Keys to repay the devs for exclusivity, are you moronic? They buy CD Keys when they give a game out for free.
Still can't bring myself to read the "opinion" of a paid shill. Sorry but not sorry.
You post like a leftist.
trump lost
I'm either sorry or happy for you. Not reading what you posted but I just noticed that you replied.

And now imagine those numbers if it was actually released on a storefront people used on PC. What a waste.
Considering the insane marketing campaign it got, that's not a lot
Alan Wake 2 SUCKED! There I said it.
It's the best FMV game I've seen since Night Trap
