As someone who has never played Alan Wake, played maybe a couple of hours of Quantum Break, and all of the base game of Control but not the DLC, I feel I am qualified to give my assessment on the plausible quality of Alan Wake 2!

Quantum Break and Control felt similar to me in how much they gestured at higher aspirations but weren’t able to translate any of their high concepts into the gameplay or encounter designer. For both games, for all of the super powered hi-jinks they’re themed around, I recall spending most of my time just alternating between the same two different columns or equivalent cover spots while I shot guys with the most basic gun. And the enemy AI rarely pushed me out of comfort, making the environments feel more like setdressing than level design.

I’m probably also one of the only weirdos who found the feel of the guns in Control bad (can’t recall Quantum Break but I don’t recall liking it either).

Now, if someone were to make a kung-fu mod for any of these newer Remedy games…

Hm, this and that author’s “Walthros: Renewal” look interesting.

EDIT: Oh hey they have demos. Well then.

there’s a City Connection event in Tokyo (9/17-9/18) where you can see an orange Honda City but equally as important they will be showing off a new Mega Drive port of City Connection

https://www.4gamer.net/games/564/G056485/20230828055/

unclear to me at this moment how one would purchase the new port

edit: ah, the pre-order site: シティコネクションMD - GAMEIMPACT

“an overseas person can’t buy it”

but…but…

oh, maybe this site will let me. no idea about this place’s legitimacy but i’d say it looks like 80% you won’t lose your money: Preorder 30/09/2023 - City Connection - Sega MD MegaDrive – The Emporium RetroGames and Toys

oh no

wait, at current exchange rates, this is less than £60 i think. i guess that’s not too crazy for a new cartridge game.
