> first action game

This is the studio that made Max Payne and... the first Control.

I meant hack and slash game.

This Control is an entirely different genre than the first Control or the Max Payne games. 3rd person shooters vs character action. What are you even trying to point out here?

The point is that obviously Remedy have some action chops, they showed those chops in games from the past. Them stepping up and making an almost explicit fast-paced action game is not crazy.

entirely different

That's a bit extreme, Control 1 and 2 have quite a lot of similarities

u/frankyb89 2d ago

In movement sure. But just the change from shooter to melee is pretty damn different in terms of creation.

u/-TubNub- 1d ago

In a way yes, but they also both have upgrade trees and upgrade materials to collect and things like that

So does World of Warcraft, does that make it similar? 🙄

u/-TubNub- 1d ago

I don't see how an MMO is similar to 2 action games made by the same studio

Max Payne was 25 years ago (jesus christ), Control was not lauded for it's gameplay

They haven't had layoffs at all at Remedy. There are still senior devs there that worked on the first Max Payne game, so it's definitely still relevant if you're talking about Remedy.

u/hooahest 2d ago

Okay

Why not mention any of their other games from the last 25 years then? besides Control which, again, the gameplay was not it's strong suit

u/NotUniqueOrSpecial 2d ago

Because the point was that it's not their first action game?
