Alan Wake Remastered and Crossfire still did not generate royalties
- Thread starter dex3108
- Start date
Was anyone expecting Crossfire to generate royalties (outside of Remedy who need the money lol).
The Alan Wake thing is a little surprising, but there isn't really a compelling reason to buy it if you already own the original on a platform you like. Sales for it will probably pick up once the hype for 2 starts to build.

As a big Alan Wake fan, I didn't feel any need to get AW Remaster tbh.
It doesn't come with the American Nightmare spin-off (which legit has a much better combat from what I can remember), the actual remaster effort didn't seem that drastic of an improvement to incentivize me to replay it (for the fourth time), and the price is just a tad bit higher than what I would feel comfortable with considering the previous points I made about it. It also rarely goes on a decent sale (on PSN at least).
And they've already announced AW2, so it's not one of those "I'm gonna buy the remaster in hope of it doing well so we'd get a sequel" situation. Even before the proper AW2 announcement we pretty much knew a new AW was coming anyway because of the stuff in Control.

I feel like Alan Wake just sort of came out of nowhere, while I enjoyed the game on 360 I had no real reason to revisit it but might at a discount eventually.
I don't even know what Crossfire is

It wouldn't help. Charging 30-40$ for minimal improvements on PC even on Steam wouldn't sell well.
It's published and funded by Epic. The game and the sequel showing up on Steam are about as likely as Half-Life and Team Fortress showing up on EGS.
Geforce leak had a Steam entry for Alan Wake Remastered with Epic Games as the publisher
I love Alan Wake but because I played the shit out of the original release I don't see much reason to buy the game again.
But I'll be there day 1 for Alan Wake 2.

They signed a contract with Rockstar earlier this year to remake Max Payne 1 & 2 as one game.
I was happy to pick up Alan Wake on PS5 finally but I doubt PC or Xbox players were as hyped for that launch. Was a pretty good game, can't wait to see what they do with the sequel
Edit: is the statement "... did not generate royalties" talking specifically about Q3 2022?

If it didn't generate royalties in Q3 it didn't generate them before. If Epic is failing to recoup costs from this smaller scope project released on 3 platforms (now with Switch on 4 platforms) then it will be interesting to see how will AW2 do.
Didn't see any worthwhile changes to pick up AW Remastered and Crossfire only being on Series while also one of the worst rated games of the year probably didn't help them to make money they wanted.
