One of the best games of last year was Alan Wake 2 from Remedy, directed and created by Sam Lake. This talented developer reacted to the post about the Summer Game Fest; this could mean that the studio is preparing something for this big event that will introduce many new games, trailers, and other updates on several projects.
The company is working on a sequel to Control, the remake of Max Payne 1 and 2, two undisclosed IPs, and more content regarding the title from last year. This is not the first time the director has worked with Geoff Keighley, the host of this event.

Remedy is a popular developer that pushes the boundaries between narrative and gameplay a bit closer. In the first Alan Wake game, this studio included an Easter egg on the game’s cover, a feature that few players noticed until today.
X user RuleTime posted a full picture of the cover, showing how a very important character of the game was also part of the cover, which no one had noticed until now. The comments even show how this was on the cover of only certain versions of the game, which have more space to add that detail.

The recent earnings report from Remedy Entertainment studio has revealed that Alan Wake 2 has yet to turn a profit. Despite a substantial budget and sales exceeding 1 million digital copies, the game has not yet generated a profit. This financial loss places the studio in a precarious situation, potentially impacting the production of other games such as the Max Payne Remake.
However, Remedy remains optimistic, anticipating that Alan Wake 2 will most likely follow the trend of their previous titles like Alan Wake Remastered, which also took some time (2 years) to become greatly profitable.

Alan Wake 2 was a major recent release and has garnered numerous awards and widespread love from players. Despite this, Remedy Entertainment Studio has yet to recoup the game’s production costs. The game’s captivating narrative and engaging gameplay have contributed to its popularity, but it has not been without controversy.
The decision to only sell the game as a digital-only release has been a significant point of conflict among players. Recent earnings reports suggest that these controversies may have impacted the game’s profitability, as it has yet to break even on its budget.

The Max Payne remake is one of the most anticipated games because it belongs to a franchise that is very close to our hearts. It has been 12 years since there has been any installment from this neo-noir third-person shooter series. The last one was the Max Payne 3, which was released back in 2012.
Now the tables might have turned. As things stand, Remedy has recently announced the new Max Payne project. However, this is not a new sequel to the last game; instead, it is going to be the highly anticipated Max Payne 1 and 2 remake.

Given how great 2023 was for game releases, there are undoubtedly some games that you missed. Looking past the major releases like Spider-Man 2, Alan Wake 2, Starfield, and Resident Evil 4, there were many titles released within the AA and indie space that may have flown under your radar. Below, we will highlight four titles that we reckon are well worth a second look if they passed you by the first time.
The Gap: The Best of the Mindf**k Games That You Missed Last Year

An indie action game akin to Max Payne, El Paso, Elsewhere is to become a film, with Lakeith Stanfield in talks to star.
Developed by indie studio Strange Scaffold – headed up by designer Xalavier Nelson Jr – third-person action videogame El Paso, Elsewhere was released to glowing reviews in 2023. Less than a year later, the Max Payne-esque shooter is to be adapted into a movie, it’s been announced.
Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura has picked up the rights to the game though his company – the logically-named Di Bonaventura Pictures – meaning it’ll share a figurative stable with such properties as Transformers and GI Joe.
According to Variety, Lakeith Stanfield – whose latest film, the irreverent comedy The Book Of Clarence, is in UK cinemas now – is to star in the adaptation.
El Paso, Elsewhere is about a vampire hunter named James Savage, whose ex-girlfriend – named Draculae – is rather awkwardly a vampire herself.

It’s undeniable. Fallout is an absolute hit, and the age of terrible TV adaptations and low expectations is behind us (Halo notwithstanding). After years of sub-standard, terrible adaptations like Resident Evil, Max Payne, and countless others, we gamers thought we were in for the long haul while waiting for good quality TV and movies. Well, that wait is certainly over.
First, we got The Last of Us, then the critically panned but as-equally fun The Super Mario Bros. Movie which was an incredible Mario experience, if a terrible film, and now we have the excellent Prime Video Fallout. And this wealth of good gaming content on the big screen means a few knock-on effects in the actual gaming space.

Alan Wake 2 is an incredibly good-looking game. It shows how much work developer Remedy Entertainment put into this title. One thing that fans appreciated even more than its visuals was its story. This game is a prime example of how a narrative survival horror game should be presented to gamers. Juggling with two separate characters and still maintaining that fear factor can definitely be challenging.
Maybe that’s why it received universal critical acclaim upon its launch. It even ended up winning a bunch of awards. Remedy is pretty well known for making these kinds of games. Well-written, fun to play, and insanely good to look at, they have been leaders in making such complete packages. Now, it appears they are leading the way in yet another manner.

Developer Strange Scaffold has an impressive variety of games in their catalog. Last year, they published the excellent monster-hunting Max Payne-like El Paso, Elsewhere, which I consider to be one of my favorite games of 2023, but that doesn’t mean all their games are third person shooters.
They’ve got a sci-fi body horror economy game (Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator), a cutesy story-based poker game (Sunshine Shuffle), and even an adventure game where you talk to stock photos of dogs (An Airport for Aliens Currently Run by Dogs). Even knowing the variety of both theme and gameplay they’ve worked in, I don’t think I was prepared for them to announce Life Eater, which they describe as a “horror fantasy kidnapping simulator,” which simultaneously ended up being exactly what it says and nothing like I expected.

Alan Wake 2 had been one of the better titles to release in 2023. While faring very well in the eyes of various critics, the game could not make a considerable impact commercially. As per the studio’s financial reports captured between January and December 2023, revenue declined by 22%.
Remedy Entertainment is an independent studio; taking that into account, along with the studio’s latest $75 million budget, which has still not been recuperated, is most certainly bad news. However, the studio suffered another big blow due to a rebranded project that set the company back by another $7.8 million.

A new financial report released today by Remedy Entertainment revealed interesting details about Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake.
Rockstar Games, publisher of the original Max Payne games and owner of the IP, is fully funding the entire remake project. The report mentions:
“Max Payne 1&2 remake is going to be a major new game with great potential, enabled by a similar development budget as Alan Wake 2.”
Alan Wake 2 is said to be made on a budget of around $75 million, and that game looks visually stunning. Since Remedy will most likely use its own Northlight game engine to develop the Max Payne remakes, this budget should be more than enough to deliver the same level of quality as its most recent release.
The report also says that the remake project “made considerable progress throughout the year” and will enter the next stage of development in the coming months. While the company suffered a revenue...

Alan Wake 2 is, according to many, the Game of the Year for 2023; this is without a doubt the best game that Remedy Entertainment has made. This title perfectly mixes the survival horror genre with a deep meta-narrative that has an amazing mystery style. Praised by critics and players equally, this title has left a path for future games to follow.
One famous streamer may not agree with this fact and did not want to play this again, Dr. Disrespect. The popular streamer falls victim to one of the main features of Alan Wake 2, the jump scares.

Max Payne’s remakes may be in development, but who said that doesn’t give other developers to cook up their own bullet time experiences? On that note, there’s a new exciting project in the works that looks like a serious combination of Max Payne, My Friend Pedro, and John Wick making the most of the cinematic gameplay experience you could hope for.
The game is called The Hong Kong Massacre and is being crafted by two individuals, working in a studio called Vreski that is based in Malmö, Sweden. Even though the game’s press kit shows a trailer of a game that looks very different, the narrative seems to have stayed unchanged over the course of its development.
Max Payne’s remakes will take a while, until then, have a taste of The Hong Kong Massacre This one is really looking like a first-person version of Max Payne!

Alan Wake 2 developer Remedy Entertainment might not have succeeded in releasing a blockbuster game, but they released a very well-made title. This game looks excellent and has been loved by every gamer who has tried their hands at it. The best part is that they improved significantly over the prequel in terms of gameplay. It wears its Resident Evil influence on its sleeves.
Its story, too, was something else; it features a parallel narrative simultaneously telling the story of two different characters at the same time. To add to everything else, its ending was such that fans are still wondering if this game will get a sequel or not. A lot of signs from the developer and its latest game suggest that there will indeed be a sequel.

Snake? Snake!? Snaaake! Stop me if you heard this one, folks. The long-gestating Metal Gear Solid movie may have hit another snag. According to industry insider Daniel Richtman, Oscar Isaac will no longer play Solid Snake in the Jordan Vogt-Roberts-directed adaptation of Hideo Kojima’s beloved video game fever dream.
It’s been a dog’s age since we heard any updates about Vogt-Roberts’ Metal Gear film project, with the last word coming from the director in 2021. Speaking with Entertainment Weekly, Roberts said the road to bringing Metal Gear Solid to theaters is long and winding.
“Metal Gear is something I’ve been trying to Sisyphus push up the hill for seven-plus years,” Jordan Vogt-Roberts told Entertainment Weekly. “That game and Kojima-san’s world mean the world to me, and that’s something that I’m very proud of what we’re doing. I think it’s very Kojima,...

Remedy’s remaster of Max Payne 1 and 2 is still a ways off, but a modder has taken the opportunity to do a little “What if?” in regards to the original game, throwing in some of that Rtx sweetness. If you head over to ModDB, modder Slasks Psykbunker has a demo of Max Payne Remixed, which takes the original Max Payne, and adds some modern-day graphical enhancements, including updated models, textures and most notably, ray tracing.
The mod is still in early development, and as such, only showcases the first level of Max Payne, the Roscoe Street Station. Nevertheless, thanks to the mod, the graphical enhancements add that little something extra to the game’s neo-noir look. It’s not perfect, but it does give you an idea of what things could look like with the remaster. And if things are a little too shiny for your liking, Psykbunker had included...

John Woo, one of the true maestros of action cinema, has returned to U.S. shores after 20 years to make another Hollywood movie. He left to make movies in Asia after the 2003 dud "Paycheck," but two decades later, he's at the helm of the Christmas-set thriller "Silent Night," starring "For All Mankind" actor Joel Kinnaman. "Those who have been missing Woo's masterful touch on action will likely find plenty to embrace here," /Film's review states, and even if the film never reaches the highs of his previous work, it's exciting to have him back in this mode again at 77 years old.

He left to make movies in Asia after the 2003 dud "Paycheck," but two decades later, he's at the helm of the Christmas-set thriller "Silent Night," starring "For All Mankind" actor Joel Kinnaman. "Those who have been missing Woo's masterful touch on action will likely find plenty to embrace here," /Film's review states, and even if the film never reaches the highs of his previous work, it's exciting to have him back in this mode again at 77 years old.
After all, we're talking about one of the most influential directors of the 20th century, here.

Some might say they don’t want a lot for Christmas, but who’s going to turn down a Christmas movie starring rapper-actor Chris “Ludacris” Bridges and comedian Lil Rel Howery?
Directed by Tim Story, and produced by Will Packer’s Will Packer Productions, comes the comedic fantasy film “Dashing Through the Snow,” which carries the title of the classic Christmas jingle “Dashing Through the Snow (Jingle Bells).”
In the lighthearted tale, Bridges stars as Eddie Garrick, a social worker who no longer believes in the magic of Christmas due to a traumatic childhood experience. But, with the help of his Christmas-loving daughter Charlotte (Madison Skye Validum) and good ol’ Saint Nick — who just goes by Nick (Lil Rel Howery) — the group is on a mission to restore Eddie’s faith in Christmas while evading wicked politician Conrad Harf (Oscar Nuñez).

Chris “Ludacris” Bridges never planned on being an actor when he started his rap career during the late ’90s. He attributes his successful transition from music to acting to late writer-director John Singleton, who gave him his breakout role as Tej Parker in the “The Fast and the Furious” (2001) sequel “2 Fast 2 Furious” (2003).
During a discussion about his new role as Eddie Garrick in Disney+’s new Christmas movie “Dashing Through the Snow,” Bridges discussed his more than 20-year career as an actor, and how acting initially was never “part of the plan.”
While his debut role was playing an unsatisfied customer in record producer and filmmaker DJ Pooh’s comedy “The Wash” (2001), it wasn’t until Singleton cast him as a former street racer and mechanic that his acting career went full speed ahead.
“No, it was not part of the plan. I always give credit to John Singleton,...
