The long delayed and little anticipated Project Condor PvE Left 4 Dead-like shooter in the Control universe has just released as FBC: Firebreak, after a long slapfight between Remedy and 505 Games. Apparently isn't great, as industry and player reviews start rolling in. Why Remedy thought to try multiplayer I have no clue.
It's not worth a thread, and the Alan Wake II thread is dead, so have a thread to discuss anything Remedy.

Steam link.

Haven't played it yet but with the amounts of reused environmental assets from Control in images, this feels like a side project. The Max Payne 1/2 remasters are still in development, so they're probably focused there.
Control 2 when????
 
I don't understand why this company is called Remedy Entertainment when their games are not entertaining and do not appear to work as a remedy for anything either?
 
After seeing the Alan Woke2, i dont think the Max Payne remakes will be good at all, Remedy is done.

I saw this game advertised a week or two ago and was confused. I'd never heard anything about it. It's clearly not some phone loot box game, or some indie game, but I never heard any of the usual astroturfed hype and mockery from YouTubers like is normal.

Hearing it's a Remedy game makes sense, but it's still strange because I have friends who are Remedy fans and they never mentioned it. And even more bizzare is this kind of SCP / Backrooms style supernatural stuff is right up my ally, but again, never heard of it and only passively know of Control's existence.


As for Remedy themselves. It's clear they want to make TV shows at this point. They should just team up with Hideo Kojima and make a Netflix show full of wokeshit already.

Having a nigger as a main character didn’t help.

And control having a generic looking buff female in the age of girlboss "strong female characters" didn't help that game either.

If you can get past Fayden looking like a Bog, Control isn't all that bad. There's definitely some cringe but I enjoyed it enough to finish it.
I do think a lot of its supposed popularity came from it coming out at around the peak of SCP popularity though.

Quantum Break Season 2 lets go :cuck:
 
Remedy owns. I haven't played Alan Wake 2 yet because it's locked behind EGS exclusivity and I refuse to install that cancer. but Max Payne, the original Alan Wake and its expansion, and Control are all lit. tbh Control is one of the few AAA games I genuinely like.

FBC Firebreak is a cool idea on paper - a team extraction shooter in the middle of an SCP-style outbreak - but this one really feels phoned in. Remedy themselves have not seemed excited about it since it was announced. maybe it will get better with patches, but I suspect Control 2 is going to be the thing to look forward to, if it ever materializes.

Releasing it at noon on a Tuesday definitely doesn't inspire much excitement. Communication about it from Remedy's end is very weird.

I don't want to assume subtext that may not be there, it could just be cultural Finnish autism, but who knows what happens behind closed doors.

They sold their soul to Timmy Tencent and Alan Woke 2 was a failure.

By their own financial reports, the game recouped its cost in late 2024 and was profitable in the end. The problem wasn't that it didn't sell well, it sold more than their other games, but it cost an ungodly amount of money to develop, even if Tim Fortnite was covering some of that tab.

Remedy made Max Payne? I'm genuinely shocked.

The first two, published by Rockstar. Then they sold the rights to Rockstar/Take-Two in 2002 in one of the many times when Remedy went near bankrupt, as is the style for them, who then made Max Payne 3 without Remedy's involvement.
