The amount of things happening on screen, sounds. Mind blowing. There must be a hell of work to build this engine.

The change of the character was a big surprise. Came from nowhere.

April 2016. Awesome.

[VlaudTheImpaler]

This looked insane. The particle effects blew me away.

Weird that they changed the main character's face completely but it makes sense if he's going to be in the live action stuff.

Yeah, Phil Spencer is way to busy for that.

 

[GavinUK86]

 

[Haklong]

I prefer the look of the old character but that was great. I love Remedy so I'm there day one. The amount of effects going off at the same time was impressive.

 

[Vinterbird]

Aidan Gillen is playable during juncture points where the player gets to choose how events in the show play out.

Oh that's still a thing? Cool. Thought they had dropped that since they never spoke of it again.

 

[Dabanton]

For me the gunplay feel is going to be the real test.

The current king imo is Max Payne 3 say what you like about the story etc, but the gunplay in that game was phenomenal and still hasn't been topped. QB getting anywhere close to that and I'll be impressed.

AW:American Nightmare gunplay bodes well...

 

[Varjis]

I'm in. Hell, I think the TV show stuff looks great too. Really like Ashmore from the Following. Whole cast is top notch.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[K' Dash]

This just makes me want Alan Wake sequel even more :/

 

[pringles]

First time I've been really wowed by this game.

I can not get enough of Remedy's blend of storytelling and action gameplay.

 

[K.Sabot]

I liked the old character design more actually.

 

[solis74]

Visually it looks phenomenal. I really like that time-lapse story-telling in that warehouse.

Game looks phenomenal and casting Ashmore and some other well-known actors was a great decision if they're going for some kind of TV show tie-in. He makes a good video game protagonist.

Yea, that was one of the most impressive things i've seen in any game. Ever, it's insane what they're doing with the facial capture, the incredible destruction and contortion effects on the environment. Love it.

Looks stunning!! i prefer the new guy myself.

 

[GavinUK86]

 

[Sunset Samurai]

Wait they scrapped the original jack Joyce? Never been a fan of the ice man dude

 

[azure.]

The new guy looks just a little bit of Zedd to me.

 

[BleedOrange]

Generic white dude with X-men powers...yay? I don't see the allure of this game yet.

Racist as hell.

 

[solis74]

Amazing face captures!

 

[Vital Tundra]

It looks interesting, but I feel like it will be one of those games that shits itself half-way through.

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

I'm hopeful that this will turn out good. I hope they can get the right balance of puzzles and hopefully good traversal with the time mechanics to compliment the guaranteed craploads of combat and story segments.

 

[blastprocessor]

Colour me impressed, such a cool concept/idea

 

[jmizzal]

Coming April yes i'll grab this

 

[Sojgat]

Aaron > Shawn.

Game still looks great though.

 

[The Flash]

I liked that Phil Spencer look a like from last year but Ashmore is okay too.

I was kinda meh about the whole tv show idea but now I'm on board.

 

[solis74]

Coming April yes i'll grab this

ill grab 3

 

[pringles]

Awesome. Nice upgrade from Alan Wake.

 

[GavinUK86]

Aaron > Shawn.

Game still looks great though.

Shawn > Aaron.

Fixed it for ya.

Coming out April 5th 2016 - https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/628570072093593600

April 5th. Thats my birthday.

hmmm... will this be coming to PC? i am assuming eventually it will make it.

 

[shinobi602]

Lol at the complaints about guns. It's like everyone forgot Remedy created Max Payne, you know, their roots? (And one of the best shooters of all time)

 

[SpongyRug10]

Not entirely sure what people who say the gameplay looks boring mean. Can anyone suggest how they could have made shooting a gun, in addition to using time amplified powers any more fun?

I can understand statements about combat being boring after extended play; it's partly a shooter after all, but we've only seen a slice of the entire game. I'd withhold opinions until they've shown a much larger slice of the game & that would include possible unique powers of the other 2 protagonists & how well the live action series ties into the whole thing.

This is basically bullet time too.

 

[usp84]

Wait so the character was changed? And now looks like domijic Monaghan? Or am I mistaken?


anyway I loves the gameplay this will be my xbox one seller unless it comes too late

The player character is now Shawn Ashmore, so it connects to the live action counterpart. Dominic Monaghan is another character, his brother. Aidan Gillen is the antagonist in the game and TV show.

Can't wait for gamersyde to release some uncompressed download.

 

[BleedOrange]

Just got around to watching the GIFs. HOLY SHIT. This looks incredible. I'm loving the mix of gunplay and hand to hand combat.

Literally every game that involves shooting guns gets these complaints on GAF. Gameplay looks great. If they can combine the best parts of Max Payne and Alan Wake they've got something great here.

 

[Maleficence]

Graphics look good but I can imagine the gameplay could get extremely messy and yet doesn't look all that original.

 

[Dragon1893]

This has potential to be fantastic. Powers look fun to use.

 

[Acquiescence]

Ever since The Wire I've loved this guy. A consummate badass.

 

[Jobbs]

Very impressive presentation wise, and interesting -- But the gameplay itself looks kinda duill so far.

 

[EatChildren]

Time dilation mechanics look to encourage movement and speed during encounters, far more reminiscent of Max Payne's design over a standard third person shooter that heavily emphasises cover camping. The powers combined with the shooting almost looks like a game built around a Mass Effect 2/3 biotic+guns combo with some Max Payne in for good measure.

Pretty excited.

 

[Theorry]

Amen.

 

[speedomodel]

Game looks fantastic. Cannot wait to get my hands on it..

Need a deluxe edition as well.

 

[Mufc1427]

The facial capture in this game is insane.

Indeed it is. Will be tough not having an Xbone when this hits.

 

[GavinUK86]

 

[solis74]

The story looks great in this. I am excited.

Looks awesome. Highlight of the show.

Very interested in the story now too.

 

[DrakeNathan]

Hype,also has in-game show

More Shots

 

[VanWinkle]

Argh I can't wait for this game. I LOVED the whole scene when time was moving through to recount events that happened. I just astounds me.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

I believe they changed some story elements. Jack having a brother wasn't apart of the story originally.
