Quantum Break 2 where they give you control to travel in time to whenever you want! Haha jk. Hope this turns out well and they get the sales they deserve. I was extremely sad QB didn't sell well .

This should have been the first post. I think Remedy could have found a better publisher.

Sadly, I think you are wrong.

I'm intrigued because Remedy has a great history, but Quantum Break was ass. Going into this one pretty skeptical.

Regarding the bold part:
Can you post sources? I really doubt Halo 5 or Gears of War 4 were outperformed by Quantum Break. Damn, even Titanfall or any other Forza game for that matter.

That should be new MS studios IP*

Quantum Break was the #1 best-selling Xbox game around the world last week, and is now officially the biggest-selling new Microsoft Studios published IP this generation. In addition, last week Quantum Break was the #1 most played new game on Xbox, worldwide.

It did beat their internal expectations it should be noted.

To be fair, they probably adjusted expectations down when they saw pre order numbers. I doubt it beat what they expected it to sell when greenlighting the project/first showing it off. Without knowing what their expectations were it's hard to judge anything by it

That makes more sense. Thanks!

That's fantastic news!

I love every game Remedy has made so far, really looking forward to what they bring next.

More Remedy is great. Hope to see something on the same level as Max Payne.

Project 7? Northlight?

Connect the dots.

It's a 7-Up thirst-person shooter.

A++++ would read again.

Unrelated: Is DocSuess portraying himself as having inside information again? Don't be fooled, people.

So no Alan Wake sequel in the near future for X1?? 😭

 

[Calm Mind]

This will not end well for all parties involved.

 

[RoboPlato]

Good to hear. Haven't been able to play a Remedy game since Max Payne 2 so I'm looking forward to what they do next.

The magic of adjusting expectations.

Just a FYI, OP, that's roughly USD $8,439,034 via direct conversion as of today.

I think this is going to be their business model as a company, going forward. Investing a little from their pockets + a third party deal w/ separate marketing and publishing from the same entity, all while getting to own the IP and their in-house engine saves licencing costs.

A little off-topic, but I wish P+ does get to own their IP's instead of just outsourcing to work on third party IP's / direct second party exclusivity / annual licensed property work. Though Inaba hinted this last year in an interview, it's gonna be a while before we see a full fledged action game from them and owning the IP.

Nah, they've explicitly said they aren't working on Alan Wake.

Probably too hard to add micro transactions to it so it doesn't fit Microsoft business model.

I can't wait to see what they are working on. Quantum Break was flawed but I love pretty much everything else they have done.
