Max Payne Developers Go Next-Gen
Remedy Entertainment gives bullet-time a miss and heads off into something decidedly more suspenseful. First next-gen screens!
Finnish developer Remedy Entertainment out-Matrixed the Matrix when it introduced bullet-time in Max Payne but for its next title the company is taking a break from the adventures of the impeccably coiffed gunslinger.
Remedy's new game, Alan Wake, seems from the limited information available to be a brooding mystery-slash-action title filled with the sort of psychological drama we've come to expect from games like Silent Hill.
What's more interesting though is that the game is destined for PC and next-generation consoles. And while Remedy is keeping exposure to a minimum ahead of the game's official debut at E3 later this month, the company has released the first screenshots that show off what we can expect.
There's no story or gameplay information available yet and it's not clear which console the screenshots are taken from, so all that's left is to sit and wait.
