I really hope this is thoroughly good! I consider myself a Remedy fan, but I think it's been a long time since Remedy hasn't released a good but flawed experience. Wasn't the biggest fan of Quantum Break, and I didn't enjoy Alan Wake nearly as much as some others. Looks like this one is squarely focused on the gameplay, which is great to see.
Yeah... that looks very bad to me... all round actually.
For an opening it's just flat and uninteresting. Should've had it be a normal day, with office employee's milling about so you can look forward to when shit goes down, instead it just starts weird and doesn't change at all.
The tutorial world that looks ripped out of Assassin's Creed also didn't impress.
And the plot still doesn't inspire confidence, and using real-life footage again? C'mon.

I'm not convinced by the mise-en-scène. It looks... flat.
And the gameplay looks like generic TPS stuff :/ Been there, done that.
Edit: I'm not a fan of the main character literally telling me the story instead of having the game showing it to me.

Game looks good but holy crap talk about reused assets from quantum break. Literally every character animation seems like it was just copy and pasted over. The way she runs, the way she aims, carries her gun, even when just standing still. It's literally identical to quantum break. Kind of worrying because quantum breaks biggest letdown was the animation it never felt smooth it was sluggish 99% of the time. Just constantly had the exact animation over and over and over again.
Looks great. Can't wait to play it slow and soak up the atmosphere.
Loving the janitor. Uyy perkele.

Ten mins is not long to get the action started. I would say that's pretty short for an action/adventure type game.
It's crazy that this is what they were able to do with a lower budget. The visuals are insane. That shot at 10:17 especially is amazing.
Still on the fence about this one. Saw some things I liked about the game and a handful of others that reminded me of the things I didn't like about their previous games.
I guess but the payoff gameplay isn't great which is why I'm disappointed. They need to show the powers.
I played an hour at E3 and came away pretty...mixed. It's Remedy, so I'm anticipating playing it regardless, but I dunno. It has loot? It has loot.
I'm just not into this narration, stressing this poster thing, it's like something the writer thought was "super cool" but is the lamest way to get at that topic.
The game looks really rough, the voice over even seemed rough. All I could think about the entire video was "rough".
I did LOVE Quantum Break, so I'm sure this comes around nicely though. Hmmm, maybe I should replay Quantum Break, I don't remember if it was great or ok.

I need it in the gameplay not some cutscene. It looks like a very typical tps otherwise.
Mixed in what regards? I don't remember seeing anything on Vice about it. Did you talk about it on one of the E3 podcasts?
There are videos of you flying around freely and also with telekinetic powers. I think that is not typical of TPS.

I know what she does later. I'm specifically talking about the beginning of the game(this video). There's no hook other than the story itself in the video.
Look at the first post I had. I said I knew it's only the start.
Sadly, I agree. I have not been impressed with what was shown since the beginning. It looks like a lower budget and less varied Quantum Break.
Same here. Not only QB but all of Remedy's games. The early gameplay of Control I've seen last year was already enough. I will have my own impressions in August.
I believe I talked about it with Rob for a bit on the last day of the show? I'm still optimistic about it, I'm just not as excited as I was hoping.
Day one.
Give me more Remedy madness.
Coming from soneone who liked Quantum Break, specially towards the mid-end game with soldiers who can also use time powers.
Im sold as shit already.
If they have tightened the gun play and the powers are.....err powerful im in.
Every video ive seen makes the actual shooting seem trivial and secondary to her powers....I wonder how they balance that, a stamina bar?
Cuz right now using the powers seems like the best way to defeat everything they have shown so far.

I guess I just disagree that you need game mechanic hooks like that at the beginning. Some of the best action adventure games just start with a story hook (e.g. HL1, HL2, TLOU, Uncharted, and so on).
the writing, & the lead vocal, are just horrifically bad, with the potential of hopefully being so bad (resident evil) that they're good. the bit with the janitor, especially, creates a kinda weak silent hill vibe...
conclusion: i was more excited about the game before watching this than i am now...

Remedy has always done the noir-type narrator thing with their noir-type games. It's like their staple.
I'm getting worried with these mixed impressions but hopefully it delivers because it's probably one of the few AAA games that I'm excited this year.
