Preview impressions have been quite positive so far. It won't appeal to everyone, but most of the people who have played it have at least liked it, and sone have loved it.
Might be fun in short bursts so a game like this will demo well. I'm worried it gets repetitive.
I won't be watching this because I want to go in fresh, but it's easily my most anticipated game releasing soon
Wasn't really that interested in the game so far and that video sorta made me lose even more interest. I like the "sneaking around an empty building" vibe, sorta feels like Deus Ex or Hitman, but then the astral plane stuff is the kind of stuff I hate and the combat doesn't look very good or fun. The FMV face animations look really good but when it transitions to gameplay the faces look wrong. The world being mostly empty isn't really giving me any hype.
This feels like a game I'll play on gamepass for "free" in six months. It being very Alan Wake-ish sounds spot on, but I didn't love that game either.

The MC seems a touch stilted in the delivery of her lines, but seems likeable enough and I'm a fan of her design. The narration from James McCaffrey fits in so well to the vibe of the FBC though - glad that's in there. Combat looks wild and varied and the previews have been positive so far, so I'm expecting something solid from the final product. I think this is one Remedy is holding close to their chest. Like Kojima with Death Stranding. Both mystery boxes that I don't mind paying full price to open on day one.
What's wrong with the comments? All I read are people excited to play the game.
The walking animation bothers me, as though she has a frozen right shoulder.
For me, not seeing anything that looks different from QB though - perhaps Remedy's way of getting that type of story onto the PS4?

These kind of gems
"Everytime theirs a female protagonist THAT IS HUGE RED PLAG FOR ME.....AND ALSO SHE'S NO EVEN THAT PRETTY ......WHAT IS UP THAT WITH THAT???????"
"PlayStation exclusive and a female protagonist Xbox gamers are jelly"

... what? Why? Strong Finnish accent makes sense when characters name is Louhi and drops in Finnish words and even sentences here and there.
I wonder if this Louhi is based on Louhi from Kalevala, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louhi
Looks like Quantum Break on a tight budget. I'm not feeling it. Hope it doesn't bomb, but I fully expect it will.
Yeah but most Finns don't even speak english like that.
That way of talking english was mainly popularized by formula and rally drivers, it's kind of a joke these days.
But it's fine, he's supposed to be an older dude so makes sense for him to have that accent, I just find it super silly sounding.
Rallienglanti is best englanti ;)
I think it works ok for Ahti, especially If there is story to him. Also afaik actor hasn't done English roles before.
Qurious how will this run on base PS4 because QB on base X1 was something like reconstructed 720p.

Showing internal monologue of the main character is probably Remedy's way of not having much faith in the player to piece the story together themselves. Lessons learnt from Quantum break i guess which I assume Remedy thought would blow people minds.
i am not much of a shooter guy so current gameplay is just good enough for me. I am mainly in for the story.
The combat music though...is horrible.

So you know how tough they are and how much health they hvae. You can customize/remove pretty much the entire HUD though.
He's done little bit of acting in English before, not a lot though. https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-10844311 They also wanted an actor who could sing. I assume they are intentionally hamming it up a bit, goes well with all the Finnish phrases directly translated to English.
But yeah, I'm really excited about having Suosalo in the game and about all the apparent Finnish influences. It's from a Finnish studio afterall, so let it show. As Sami Järvi (Sam Lake) says in the interview, there's a lot of rich culture in Finland and we are often way too modest about it. So I love it that they wanted to take a bit of distance from just US popculture, it gives something unique to the game and it's world. If most people can appreciate it, is still left to be seen. I'm thrilled atleast, I take it as representation we don't usually get.
I don't want this to sound petty but I really hope they change the subtitle font/this font is not final. The current choice is hideous and stands out very strongly.
Do you think it looks cheap because QB had all these nice actors? Or do you think it looks cheap because the setting is limited?
Hype as hell.
I wonder how long getting 100% would take.
In any game with side quests that have worthwhile prizes I end up attempting to 100% the game.
The problem I have with this is the same problem I had with Quantum Break: the character models and animation.
On one hand you have an amazing looking game visually, but then the character models, faces and their movement and animation is awful which totally breaks the experience. And I'm not expecting Naughty Dog level animation at all, as there are plenty of AA titles with decent enough animation. But it just looks off in this and QB.

As someone that loves low-budget sci-fi movies this is right up my street. I liked Quantum Break too.
I think this looks graphically brilliant, But then, effects is where it's at. The more stuff whizzing around a screen, the better.
