What the hell, Max Payne remake - in northlight? 
Oh interesting I did not know that a sequel is in the works. Maybe then will be a better time to jump on that.
Remedy are spread too thin. Remedy + Rockstar + side project almost guarantees they will sell exclusivity rounds as well.
Won't even think about it until we know details

But the question is for Rockstar Games Launcher only?. Because GTA remaster was RGL exclusive.
Rockstar was doing Steam users a favor.

That is correct, no mention, safe to say PC version of Deadly Premonition 2 is dead.
For what is worth, GTA Remasters are hosted on Steam and EGS as they do have active packages in both places so I think it's a matter of when not if.
Doubt, if anything RGL exclusive but I can see a multistore release.
They're a fairly large studio. I don't think they'd sign up for so many projects if they didn't need them to keep their people employed. Also, Control 2 and Alan Wake 2 are unlikely to enter full production for at least a year or two whereas something like this wouldn't require a large team or (presumably, depending on their intentions) much pre-production or preliminary design work.
Likely exclusive, but I don't care. I will be playing it.
Speaking about Max Payne remakes, I really look forward to what Remedy will do with the great soap operas and TV episodes you could watch during the games:
Really? For some reason I thought it was a super early "now in development" kind of announcement. I'll be shocked if it doesn't get delayed out of 2023.
I wonder if the remake will have them play like Max Payne 3 or just look better but maintain the original feel with QOL/smoothness/visual improvements. I think I'd prefer if they play like the simpler action games they were, down to the old school third person camera. At most upgrade 1 to how 2 feels rather than go all out making it all like 3 which to me wasn't the best iteration of the series, even if they don't have all its issues like the constant story interruptions (but maybe that + not bumping on every little thing affecting Max is enough). Edit: ah, these are kinda crappy plays on the hardest difficulty cheesing the AI/game.

I kinda really feel like Max Payne doesn't need a reboot. I guess that's true for almost all games. I literally still play the game, and its still so moody and IMO looks fantastic.
Since they're already doing this, I hope they lay heavily into moodyness. Thinking tech, I hope they go wild with Global Illumination. I think they'll need to push hard in that direction. Control had a mood and the tech so there's hope.
I just really don't feel it is necessary...

I'm glad for once Rockstar proved me wrong. Now fingers crossed it won't be stuck in Rockstar launcher/EGS hell.
I have so many good childhood memories from playing Max Payne 1 on Cyber Cafes back in the day when I didn't have my own PC. I'll be mad if it's Egsclusive since I truly wanna play those games.
PS: Not related to Max Payne, but I need to get it off my chest. The Godskin Duo in Elden Ring is probably the worst designed boss fight in the entire soul series. Fuck those guys lmao

Since it's Rockstar that owns the games, it's definitely time to buy the originals, before Rockstar nukes them from history.
Behind the script of the canceled Deus Ex movie
Back in 2012, movie director Scott Derrickson and his Sinister collaborator C. Robert Cargill were working on the script for a movie adaptation of

Next game from them should be that Control MP game if I remember correctly and/or their F2P game. Then AW2, Control 2 and MP Remakes somewhere in 3-5 years.
But it is sad that they still can't stand on their own and they need to rely on signing deals like this where they work for others. Epic is fully paying for AW2, Rockstar is fully paying for MP Remeakes, those Control related things are at least partially funded if not fully by 505 Games. Only thing that Remedy is funding is their F2P game and I can bet that it will have some kind of exclusivity attached to it.
It's Remedy. They will find something to piss off PC gamers one way or the other.
Rather than a party, I suspect there will be significant use of the toucan emoji.
Toucans can party.
But on a more serious note, I am curious about it. I can see me getting some enjoyment out of it.
Would like to know what AV to use in our office. Currently we are using Kaspersky >.<
Windows built in AV?
Complement with MalwareBytes?

Also, had a read of this, quite interesting. Historian academics trying to understand the influx of students of history based around games. Paradox one’s in particular. Not particularly negative, with the general takeaway being they are happy people are bing inspired to look at history.

I forget that MS has an inbuilt AV software. Will check it out.

More students are being exposed to historical narratives through game play—but what exactly are they being taught?

I am using Avast for past 15+ years and I have no issues.
Stop using Kaspersky ASAP.
Windows inbuilt AV is good enough in most cases.
Yeah, unless it's a PC on which you have to expect potentially-self-sabotaging users (i.e. "let's run this random exe even despite the warning popups"), you really don't need an extra AV program.
This is the right answer. Most of the time its even the right answer if you love pirated software, click stuff without giving a shit and are an all-round fucking idiot.
I'm glad I already own them. I actually bought Max Payne 1 in the last sale to replay it.
Put my OLED back on the wall. Way too big to be my monitor 
Least I'm back to a 2 monitor setup!

I don't feel any reboots are a full replacement for the original even if they are fun on their own terms. With the exception of those that that still include the option to play the original as it was.
Anyone whos a fan of MP1&2 who doesnt already own them digitally I would suggest looking to pick them up as after the GTA mess you certainly can't trust Rockstar to keep them up for sale once these remakes are ready.
I'm curious what sort of Steam numbers it will get.
Due to the feedback I have heard on the game I will probably wait until it is $10 or so, I love loot games so it will be a buy at some point.

Alan Wake must have really done a number on them, as theyve bounced between publishing deals like a pinball ever since to some degree or another. At least they havent been bought out yet.
As for the actual announcement, I own both games digital and hardcopy for pc, but i'm intrigued and would just as easily take the first game with a working installer that doesnt require patches and mods for sound, etc; and leave it at that. Both are still great as is.
James McCaffrey needs to be the voice or it just wont work for me. And constipated Sam Lake for the face as well. Let's do this right.
This so much.
Remakes/Redux's are fine in-themselves, but games industry's over-reliance means new ideas never see light-of-day. Remedy shines best when they try something new.
Even more concerning is publishers delisting original releases.
Godfall is out today, will get it if the price is good for me.
So it's mostly a Rockstar thing, but clearly precedence is set to worry about their actions on these
