Remedy is back with a brand new concept, simply called CONTROL.
And this time it's gonna be multi-platform unlike Quantum Break.
A brand new original IP from them. But also, the game seems to have a bit of all their past titles in its DNA, pretty close to their last game Quantum Break on the surface, but also the same shadow-y aspect as Alan Wake, and the gunplay from Max Payne.
We got a gritty and a noir cop murder mystery, horror, time travel and now aliens! UFOs! Area 51!!
CONTROL is scheduled to release in 2019 for PS4/PS4 Pro, Xbox One/Xbox One X, PC (digital only)

#Gamescom NEWS! Quantum Break - Time is Power Trailer
Here's a new proper trailer for Remedy's Quantum Break, which is only expected for next year on April 5, 2016.
I would have preferred a new Max Payne from them (suck it Rockstar!) or Alan Wake 2, but this is starting to look pretty neat. The "time" effect looks great. I see they also got a ton of TV actors in there, impessive!
Should I think about getting an Xbox One now or will this be coming to PC as well?

I was still alive, my loved ones were still dead. It wasn't over.

#DeletedScenes - Alan Wake 2
Since Remedy's too busy with Quantum Break these days, they've released a lot of information from the scrapped Alan Wake 2 project through polygon.
The following prototype trailer doesn't spoil much beside the engine and gameplay, since apparently creator Sam Lake still hopes they're able to make the game at one point or another, possibly episodically:

Alan Wake opening - Twin Peaks style
Haha :P
This is pretty fun!
Someone made a Twin Peaks-styled opening credits for Remedy's videogame Alan Wake!
Itself a pretty good Stephen King/Twin Peaks tribute. (well, more King than Twin Peaks, it's not Deadly Premonitions!)
It's pretty good!
Check it out.
(the music is, of course, Angelo Badalamenti's original "Twin Peaks Theme")

Gamin' NEWS! VGA Awards - various new trailers
So, once more Spike TV hosted their famous VGA Awards.
The Spike Video Game Awards 2011 to be precise. (but people tend to repeat Awards after VGA for some reason...)
Besides the random events due to their annoucements, silly announcers, star power hosting the show and whatnot, they also had a bunch of new trailers for many of the upcoming games.
(I mean...That's why I only check the latest game trailers instead of the whole event-thingie.)
Amongst those of interest to me, there was some news regarding my most expected titles of 2012. Like Mass Effect, Bioshock and many others!
Let's check 'em out, okay? :)

Blog entry02 Somebody stop Rockstar Games!!
The internet's an hate machine, you know...
I usually try to stay positive, enjoy the stuff I enjoy, and the stuff I don't like simply not try nor do them.
I'm sorry guys and gals, but this time you'll have to endure my rambling a bit...
(well, technically no, just skip or don't read this article : P)
Ah.. Rockstar Games. One of the modern most loved studios/productions.
I find them a bit overrated.
*ducks hate mails from Rockstar fanboys*

What did ya do this weekend?
Hey gang!
Another week, another "What did you do this weekend?"-thing!
I didn't play that much thins weekend...
Mostly read stuff.
Like Bande dessinée and some comics. : P
'Been reading the Brave and the Bold current comic series lately, by Mark Waid.
It's a really fun team-up comic series with bits of sci-fi and adventure all over.
This weekend's I've been on the volume 3 of the paperbacks, called "Demons and Dragons".
It was Mark Waid's last issues, sad news :(
I hope this series will not lose its pulp-fun-adventurous atmosphere for a more serious, dark and big-event-crossovers aspect!
This last volume was probably the best story-arc so far! You don't need too much DC Comics knowledge to enjoy this!
Fun read!
On the gaming part, I've started playing Alan Wake with my bro!
Very original and interesting game! It's from an European developer I love, Remedy Software.
The game looks and feels like a mix of Max Payne with Survival horrors - gameplay wise.
The game really shines in its originality and story.
What Max Payne was to Noir Love stories, Alan Wake does the same and then some to thrillers/drama TV shows.
Max Payne was constructed like and told through a comic book approach.
Alan Wake use the TV drama construction. Many questions thrown at you, a well thought plot revealed bit by bit and it chapters is an episode in itself with everything it implies. Theme, mini-arc, tension culminating with a cliffhanger and even a recap at the beginning of each chapter!
It looks, feels and plays great!
I much prefer a game like this, playable, with a cinematic feel than something, say, like Heavy Rain which is pretty similar in an opposite way, cinematic with a gaming aspect.
To each their own, I guess!
Plus it's nice to see a "blockbuster game" from Europe for once! It's like all games are either American (or rather Canadian) or Japanese now! -__-
Other than that?
I only played Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena.
For a while now, I've really wanted to go back to Vin Diesel's Scifi media-franchise Chronicles of Riddick.
I already watched again Pitch Black, a great horror scifi movie, not unlike the first Alien.
I wanted to play again Escape from Butcher Bay, a cult classic Xbox game that really shined when it was released back then, for it's great immersive universe, fun gameplay and great visuals!
But my Xbox re-died lately ("she" does that once in a while...Yeah. Weird stuff...)
So I took this as an opportunity to finally buy Dark Athena on the Xbox360, which contains a remake of Butcher Bay as well.
I love this game!!
Incredible!
It almost feels adventur-y! The game isn't 100% free open world but neither uses levels for the progression.
You're in a certain space with people to talk to, objectives and stuff to do and collect.
But it uses a FPS engine and view. Plus there's combat, weapons and lots of enemies, but you better be ready to sneak up on enemies one by one, with a clever infiltration/stealth gameplay.
It's quite unique!
Finally, I've been able to watch the Yatterman movie, thanks to the French dvd release!
One word: YATTAAAAA!!
It's a pretty amazing and faithful adaptation of the old Time Bokan anime series from Tatsunoko studios!
By Takashi Miike, nonetheless!
(recommanded watch: Zebraman, epic, heroic and aliens against a Zebra costumed middle aged hero, what could you ask more?!?)
Loved it! Takashi Miike said himsel, Americans are doing now Dragon Ball and many future adaptations. He had to show everybody how you really do an anime live!
Anyway, that's it for now!
Some reviews coming this week finally, if I stop being lazy : P
News in a sec'
Stay tuned for moooaaar-
