This game was made by Swedish developers. It's almost unbelievable to think that not that long ago they were able to create a genuinely good game.

They're Finnished if Control bombs
Sweden has plenty of good developers though. Starbreeze, Dice, Mojang, Avalanche, Konjak, Paradox,
Microsoft will buy them
Cultural trends shifted from film noir to Marlel capeshit.
Noir was never mainstream
>Starbreeze
are they still alive though?
what cultural trends dumb ass
film noir was never close to the popularity of capeshit
>Dice
literal has-been
Noir was recognizable and had cultural impact despite its niche status.
Now everything has to have mandatory quips, trashy plots and other capeshit-induced trends. Just look at Gamescon trailers last night.
Swedes make a lot of fucking games, user. I know the cuckholds get all the spotlights, but for every joke of a studio you see there's at least 2 that are just in the background working.
id play a mona sax prequel.
yep, it was a masterpiece in every way. too bad zoomers on Yea Forums will never know how it feels to play a true labor of love vidya
What hes trying to say is that culture shifts from dark being cool, to people getting tired of it and wanting something lighter, to back again. Like in the late 2000s, darker stuff like GTA IV and the Dark Knight were fresh and suberversive, what people wanted, but people got tired of the grimness and wanted something that felt more colorful and cartoonish. I think we're getting to the point where people are tired of everything feeling toy like and going back to dark again
Starbreeze is fucking dead and my love for them has dried up into a shriveled corpse. They used to be the ONE developer that put legs and full body model for first person shooters, that was their charm. But as soon as I saw the Walking Dead, I knew they were far gone.
they're Finns, idiot
Game developers need to have sex again and no tranny and homosexual fucking doesn't count.
Man and woman like God intended.

they probably just went for the quick money, doesn't mean this is their main direction now
it's cancelled anyway
what's the difference
Finns are actually white.
Someone spouting insane babble. I couldn't make sense of it.
Finns are Mongolians
But user, they basically own Payday 2 and propagated most of the shit that went down. At least that had full body models I suppose
Max Payne 2 was a great noir story, but it was so disconnected from the original Max Payne which was like a drug-fueled fan letter to the Punisher.
Max Payne 4 when?
Just culture and language, nothing more major.
Who would you trust with the development of that game?
The shooting in RDR2 was fucking garbage.
>Who would you trust with the development of that game?
Unironically Remedy
Fucking retard.
Sony is already waiting to buy them up after that
heresy
explain yourself
who do I listen to???
fins are depressed alcoholics and swedes are on antidepressants
MP2 wasnt good though.
However, MP1 is a fantastic video game
the one who actually shows interest
i don't recognize any of these guys other than sam lake so I assume that's microsoft?
thats remedy's staff and Sam is standing next to the president of Playstation
boring basedboys make shit games
both ms and sony are incompetent these days so ya buying remedy is plausible
Guy on his right was on max payne too he was alex.
What about Dennaton?
Max is done, let him rest
Mixing up Scandis, that I can get, but Finns?
That's just you being retarded
stfu nerd they are the same shit both 100% cucked and nordic
Why the fuck people here act like it's imposibble now to play video games way after their release?
It was because they had a proper writer, Sam Lake who is finnish
Alan wake was good too
Let's just say only the Finnish Soul could have created something like Max Payne
You do realize MS funded Quantum break? Why Sony is interested in Remedy after QB is a mystery.
MP2 was a step down from 1.
nice bait, Remedy are finnjävlar though
This.

nope it's different in themes but the same quality
Sweden also has loads of indie devs. they also have King, but they make skinner boxes rather than games
not with all those escort missions it isn't
Sw*distan should be nuked
t. sw*de
>Mojang
Notch is a horrible programmer and what he hired were even more horrible programmers. I especially hate Microsoft for not firing everyone at Mojang and getting a serious actual team of programmers. You'd think when people commit tax evasion they'd put more soul into it.
Hiring competent people is expensive
Mojang more like hoes bang LOL
>not with all those escort missions it isn't
Isn't there a single escort mission in the entire game
perkele
Iji was pretty good. Probably the best Swedish game, all things considered.
I love Mona Sax lads
MP3 was okay but it could have been much better.
The change in setting was not the problem. Writing,story and characters were weak uncharacteristically weak for a MP game. It didn't go anywhere really by the end of the game. It was just a vidya version of Man on Fire because some producer thought it would be the right direction but it wasn't well thought through in the context of MP.
Finns are culturally semi-russian and their mongrel language isn't even European, nothing nordic about them.
They're basically just a swedish province that was ceded to russia in a peace deal. It's like saying hong kong is european.
>some producer
It's Dan Houser. The guy is a fucking hack. Everything he comes up with is just stolen from movies and TV. He is the most prolific plagiarizer in the games industry. And because the games industry is full of morons instead of being roundly condemned for this he's incredibly successful and routinely praised.
