Remedy's Sam Lake Has Some Things to Say About Quantum Break and... Gamescom?

Yes, father?

This game is suffering from the exact thing that is happening to Destiny. I have no idea what it is. The gameplay seems like the same old 3rd action game, but they are promising all the live action TV stuff without explaining any of it. They are banking on the idea that this is a "Remedy" game just like Destiny is a "Bungie" game but that does absolutely nothing for me when the actual game looks generic as hell.

Monarch? Really? The butterfly is even yellow! I look forward to the boss battle against 21 and "The Fluttering Horde"! Originally the main charecter was Brock Samson but... Brock kicks too much ass which made the game really easy!

And another current-gen only game slips out of 2014, so that leaves Assassin's Creed Unity, Sunset Overdrive, The Witness, Drive Club, Batman: Arkham Knight and Below. Maybe Deep Down but I bet not.

Kind of disappointed that this game is coming in 2015, but, I would rather have a great game that got delayed than a rushed game that is poor. I have faith in Remedy so here is hoping this is great, I loved Alan Wake.

@xyzygy: I do like dev diaries (or whatever you want to call them). Knowing how a game is coming along is helpful to the consumers, that I don't have a problem with. Waiting to announce a game one year prior to it's release is better than two or three years prior to release, in my opinion. Just because we may not hear about a game doesn't mean it isn't coming along great.

Given Remedy's history, if Quantum Break looks good it'll be the other game to sell me on an Xbox One (along with Halo 5).

Just announce Alan Wake 2 already. A game that well written deserves a sequel.

I can't believe the attitude here...come one guys. It looks phenomenal.

NOBODY DOUBLECROSSES THE MONARCH!

Did anyone see the live action stuff they showed last year? I thought it looked pretty bad :( I will trust remedy to get the game right tho

still bummed we aren't getting Alan Wake 2. I really liked that game. So far haven't seen enough Quantum Break to be interested in it yet but I have a feeling when its all over I'll probably be playing it. Not sure what to think of the live-action stuff. There is a lot of potential there for it to be really god-aweful.

@benmo316: I'd rather know a game is coming and then possibly buy the console it's on after it's had a long, healthy development and thus higher quality. The other option is having a game unveiled late and possibly be unfinished or rushed from needing to be out when they said it would be.

Super psyched for this game! I also love how Remedy does these little videos from time to time to let us know what they're doing and when they'll be able to show the game off next.

Everytime I see him I think he's Max Payne. Then I'm reminded that Max Payne is modelled after him. Mind bending realities!

Also: I fking love Remedy!

If Sam Lake does the VO for every character in the game I'm in, otherwise... eh.

I don't know about everyone else but I'm getting annoyed and burned out on these games being announced 2 years before they release along with the inevitable delay announcement. Imagine how great this E3 would be with first-time announcements like Quantum Break, The Order, The Division, and Witcher 3. And we would only be waiting a year and the hype could continue all year instead of fizzling out.

He makes me uneasy

... did they do a bunch of ADR for this? The lip-sync seems really off.

I'm pretty sure the TV show will be terrible but full of effort, I'm so down for this.

YEAH SAM LAKE

@angethedude: Hell yes! He will also always remain real Max Payne.

Man, I need to go play Alan Wake again.

I guess MS will at least mention this at E3 seeing as it's their own big exclusive. Probably see a lot of it in the opening press montage.

@flacracker: High budget but only on Xbox.

The episodes are on the game disc, you watch them like chapter breaks between chapters of the game, they change based on your actions in the game a bit and inform the action you play in the next gameplay chapter. I don't know if they are going to air it outside of the game, it's only been announced for the Xbox One I think so far unless the show gets packaged up and sold to a network or something.

Budget has little to do with quality, Remedy has basically been making tv shows since Max Payne and this is exactly the same thing that they've been doing, just amplified a bit so it's a proper tv length, they do great stuff. Whether it's on just the Xbox One or elsewhere has zero bearing on it's quality, is what I'm saying... TV lives outside the actual TV these days with lots of it being only streamable via netflix or youtube or in some form or another).

Man, I'm glad Sam Lake only sells Remedy Games 'cause I would buy EVERYTHING from the guy.

Is the TV show going to a low budget thing you watch through the Xbox or is it going to be on an actual TV station?

If Sam Lake speaks, I listen. Simple as that.

Oh, hi Max.

Edit: Wait, the corporation's name is Monarch? Godzilla confirmed!

I fucking love Sam Lake's accent.
