No joke, this game is the primary reason I got an Xbone.

Looks like Max Payne (which is a good thing).

We've got a mix of combat, story and adventuring - with some areas bleeding into one another. I'd say we sit in-between Max Payne and Alan Wake. We'd like players to discover secondary narrative components (world and character building for example) via a bit of exploration, but the levels aren't as vast as Alan Wake.
The two demos we've shown (GC 2014 and GC 2015) give a good indication of pacing / gameplay variety.

ARRRG, I love that he does that little boxer (Read: Muhammad Ali) shuffle when he grabs the rifle out of the air. Reminds me so much of Grimmjow's little shuffle here
It's the little details like this that get me. Just like when Marius in Ryse would stab a homie, he'd grit his teeth and his face takes on noticeable tension.

How many episodes?

Nice. I figured it had to have a decent length to get the cast that they have to sign on.
This is the game I specifically purchased my XB1 for, Remedy is amazing.

No one asked, but you have to imagine as many as chapters in the game. Alan Wake is 6 not including DLC, so probably close to there.

Did I miss this in the interview?

That's the number listed on the IMDB page for the show.

Oh, got it.
That's trippy.
Is that part of the weird time flashback we saw in the gameplay footage?
I utterly love the weird ripple effect that happens when times starts and stops.

I love the color pallette in the game.

I don't believe so, this is from that one casting video that was posted on the last page showing a game to TV transition or how the game effects the show.
Yeah i'm loving everything they show about this game.

Game looks great, and remedy has never let me down.
Those dashing enemies though... They look like they might not be that fun.

I agree. I think that the game looks uber-impressive graphically, but the gameplay just seems so derivative... it is a third-person shooter where you can play with time.

Remedy is the big daddy of narrative-heavy cinematic third person shooters. They created this goddamn genre.

Its pretty easy to describe just about any game today as derivative in a negative sense by saying "it is a [insert game genre] where you [insert differentiation here]".

Throw in a good story (Remedy is pretty good at these btw), and it completely changes things. 1886 was just a complete shower of shit.
No shit. Remedy are pretty much first party in all but name anyway. I don't think they could find the same deal anywhere else. They get bankrolled for 4~ years per project and get to make the criticially acclaimed games they want to make with seemingly unrestricted creative license.
I don't know why Microsoft doesn't just buy them out, but then Microsoft doesn't seem to even buy out studios they help create, fund and allow to work on their IP using their technology (see: Mistwalker, feelplus and Ruffian Games).
Just completely bizarre dealings imo.

Nice write-up from Destructoid detailing the show integration.

Didn't know we had Remedy devs here on GAF. Cool to hear! And yeah, I'm not expecting Alan Wake vastness, so that's no biggie. I friggin' love how Remedy (and Starbreeze/Machinegames) do world and character building in-game, rewarding exploration and patience like an adventure game even if they're missable optional story rather than cutscenes.

Teal orange colorgrading is back bitches!
My only worry right now is the prevalence of cover. I barely ever took cover in Max Payne and never in Alan Wake. For me, Remedy games have always been about moving around. Cover is, like, the opposite of that. D:
Otherwise, day one.
um, that's super cool of them, and it's awesome they do that. Buying devs and forcing them first-party sucks.

Yup, same concern. But that whole thing of staying in cover as stealth, slowing time down and zipping around to flank, seems like a cool feeling. Could be like Vanquish, hopefully.
