This game sounds interesting and gives me a kind of silent hill vibe. i can't find any in-game footage but this game may be worth getting

hehehe you won't be seeing this game in 2 weeks :p

Been watching this game for what feels like years trust you will be lucky to see this game b4 xmas ;)
 
some quick editing :p its kind of weird i have only just really heard about this game does sound good though.
 
Cant wait for it. Hopefully it will have the same feel as Max Payne and as an indepth storyline that Max Payne had too.
 
When I saw one of the trailers where the bad boys come out at night I instantly thought of an 'I am legend' style scenario. Either way looks quite good - I'm a sucker for good horror games.
 
The first trailers were from around the same time as the Xbox360 launched weren't they?
I haven't heard/seen too much since then...
 
That was my thought but I don't think Remedy will do that considering their production levels on Max Payne 1 and 2. I think 8 or 9/10 game come review time.

It's no slight on Remedy as a studio when I say it might not turn out great. As a concept it looks awesome, but that's really all it is so far. It's already been in development longer than might have been expected, but on top of that very little (If anything) of the actual game has been shown, that's just not normal. At the very least these are two big signs that development isn't turning out as planned.

Hopefully it will all come together eventually, but a hope is really all it is for me rather than an expectation.
 
This game is so frustrating, I remember reading about it about 2 years ago and then hearing not much at all about it. Why release a load of hype sooo far before release? It got my all psyched up for it only to make me wait and wait and wait.

Alas I do hope it's worth it in the end, Max Payne was real good so my hopes are certainly high :)

I was talking in terms that Max Payne was hyped to the rafters and delayed numerous times, it had its place in 3D Mark long before it was released, yet it still delivered better than most expected. After doing it once, Remedy are one of the few companies I have high expectations of a game before release, normally I'm the opposite... dubious until I've played it.
 
I too can't wait for this game. The trailer's ive seen look excellent and as has been stated, Max Payne 1 and 2 were very enjoyable games.
