From Ballblazer to The Witcher 3: unlock the hidden potential of visuals through the best video game soundtracks of all time.
A good list that covers a good variation of different types of video game music needs to have at least a minimum of 25 different games.
There in the list are just 9. And only one of them is from a game older than 10 years. Most of them were released in the last 3 years I think.
Its a shitty list actually..with a shitty headline and a shitty image with zelda, god of war and street fighter while none of them is discussed in the list.
esportdriven.com is now on my list..the list of shitty vg sites.
Remedy Entertianment has revealed that Alan Wake Remastered has broke even, recouping both cost of development and marketing after two years.
Breaks Even!? No profit yet, Is this normal?
Literally started playing it last night in anticipation of starting 2, still gives me the heebie jeebies, super fun game, can't wait to play through Control & AW2 in anticipation of Control 2.
I'm not actually shocked by this news, I think I was more shocked they assumed there was enough demand to even think about making a remaster in the first place, I know there was fans of the original but it definitely wasn't that big of a fan base imo.
The original game was released in 2010 and still looks fine today so a remaster/remake is unnecessary.
I bought mine cause it was made available for ps5. I did have it back in the day for 360 and liked it.
If it took two years for this to break even how long will it take for Alan Wake 2?
Remedy has unfortunately taken a loss on most of their games outside of the first two Max Payne titles. There's been a couple times they've almost completely gone under in the past 15 years. A big part was the original Alan Wake and it's protracted development cycle. Microsoft had to swoop in and fund the completion of Alan Wake which is why for years it was an Xbox 360 exclusive.
Alan Wake 1 is one of my favorite games to comb over and analyze because of its redirect during development. I enjoy seeing the reduction of these once large play areas into semi-open and linear spaces. I'm grateful that things worked out the way they did.
I remember when Control came out a lot of people reported the low sales, but it went on to do very well through sales and word of mouth. I imagine Alan Wake 2 will perform similarly as a continuation of Control and the cult fanbase of the original will also eat it up.
It'll do better than the remaster sure but the first game was niche, so niche it's remaster took two years to break even, it's a game that seems to rely pretty heavily off of previous knowledge, doesn't have a physical copy, out in a busy period surrounded by other great games, and is likely the highest budget remedy game yet (outside of maybe quantum break). No disrespect I'm glad they were able to make this but it's got a lot against it
@BanginTunes - well not everyone re-bought the game when the remaster came out. I know I did, but I'm a diehard AW fan.
I'm surprised AW2 even came to fruition. God knows they had been wanting to make it since the first released but timing and development costs were always an issue until they found a publisher that would help fund it.
And this is why big corporations are after the Gaas money. They make one game and milk it for a decade (at least).
Here are some great PC games that are even better with a controller. In fact, one can say that they're meant to be played with a controller.
That's why I don't mess with PC gaming for the most part. When I game I'm relaxing. Hard to do that with a keyboard and mouse. That's just my thought on it.
I'm still hoping bethesada adds real controller support to the og fallout or re release them on xbox like what was done with wasteland 1

What exactly is so hard about using a keyboard and mouse compared to a controller when subjectively relaxing? Do you game upside down on a crossbar?
At least in my opinion, with a controller I can lay back comfortably in my couch however I want. Keyboard + mouse would require a table and chair, and requires investing in ergonomics not to completely mess up my back (not saying the couch is good for my back either but achieving comfortability is easier). Again, emphasizing that I'm speaking out of opinion, and I agree with you that concepts of relaxing and which is better are both very subjective matters. All in all I don't think it's a particularly good article since it really boils down to personal preference.
My old ass Xbox 360 Rock Candy controller still works fine today "For the Players"
