Hey Dad,
Today, I'd like to take a look at Remedy's Shared Universe. I'll be looking at all of the games involved, Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control. Let's see how these games hold up, and more importantly how they connect.

Update: I'd like to note here that August of 2023, Sam Lake noted in an Entertainment Weekly interview that Quantum Break was officially NOT a part of the larger Connected Universe. Just in case you wondered after watching the video, it has been confirmed by the man himself. This is most likely due to IP issues and Microsoft owning the property.

Alan Wake 2 basically connects Max Payne (owned by Rockstar) dulogy, simply they use other names. 100% QB is connected as well.

Quantum Break may not be "connected" by name because of IP rights, but it is absolutely connected in a multiverse capacity.

The funniest thing about Alan Wake is what happened with Energizer batteries. Energizer paid to have the batteries in the have be their brand but got angry because the short life of the in game batteries made them look bad so they withdrew the deal when the dlc came out. This backfired on them because the genetic no name batteries in the dlc were just as good as the Energizer ones so it made them look bad all over again.

@b1thearchitect401

Max Payne 2 is my favourite Remedy game, I think it's one of the most tragic and perfectly written stories in gaming; but I also do very much appreciate Control. I'd argue Control is a bit more uneven as I found some of the side missions and open area stuff to be a little questionably designed, probably just due to it being their first time making a larger, more open game world. But with that said, Control has some of the highest high points of any game in recent memory. The Ashtray Maze with the pumping soundtrack is one of the most memorable set pieces in any game of all time IMO! Also just the combat in general once you're near the end of the game with a near maxed out character is just pure bliss. The environmental destruction is also super underrated in Control, not nearly enough action games lean into letting you annihilate your immediate environment! Story wise Control is filled with really cool atmosphere and ideas, but really failed to get me emotionally involved like the Max Payne games. If I could level 1 complaint about recent Remedy titles (Alan Wake, Quantum Break, Control) it would be that they seem to get very bogged down by plot details, abstractions and big ideas, without taking the time do develop emotionally powerful character arcs. That's something Max Payne 1 & 2 did extremely well and why those stories hit so much harder IMO. I think if you could combine the emotional heart and soul of something like Max Payne 2 with the surrealism and mystery of Control you'd have the perfect Remedy game. Either way though, they're still one of my favourite developers in the industry. Even if their games have some flaws, they're always ambitious as hell and very interesting from both an artistic/story perspective and a technology pushing perspective.

Love how remedy keeps using the same voice actors and music artists over different games (Vinnie gognitti and Barry, Alan Wake and Dr Darling, Beth Wilder and Jesse Faden and James McCaffrey for example and poets of the falls recurrence in max Payne 2, Alan Wake and control). Remedy's games just oozes that sense of familiarity , it's like the games are bound to each other by the soul.

The other night, as I stood at the bus stop, some traffic lights spilled into the leftover rain on the pavement, causing a rainbow like gleam across the street. "Doesn't that look Lynchian?" I heard a man ask his friend at the bus stop. "Why the f- does everything have to be 'Lynchian'?" I heard the friend reply, as I stood by the bus stop the other night. "That's just some oil on the road, Dave". This. This entire story right here is, ironically enough, the most 'Lynchian' thing I've ever heard.

I'm glad he brought up that he didn't cover a lot of the content in Control. There was a LOT of story that was in the game. But unlike the other two IPs, they played the story differently. Opting to give you the feel of knowing what the character knows. If you wanted to know why things were happening and the world around you, You had to seek out that information on your own. So much was there, from the affects of these AWEs on the wider world, potential new IPs, the link to their being other versions of the Board as hinted at in that motel, the janitors connection to the house, and the connection of the house to the board, the world, and even the other dimensions beyond. I've played Control several times, and it is by far a loremasters dream. Even a chunk of the redactions in the files you collect can be uncovered through some sleuthing and comparing of other, seemingly unrelated, documents. It even begins to hint at what causes these AWEs to happen and how they develop based on their history and the items traumas. Including investigations into Cauldron Lake, that my son here mentioned. I'll agree that the surface level story is more basic than the other games. But it doesn't mean there's not a whole lot more going on that you can't figure out. You just need to be far more inquisitive and open-minded to very subtle clues hidden throughout the old house
@HeatherHolt
@HeatherHolt 6 місяців тому
I absolutely loved reading about the different AWEs and I loved the videos of the dr and the info about the two assistants and their little love triangle I think?? My favorite awe was probably the refrigerator the guy wasn’t supposed to stop staring at and then… well… he did stop. The duck was the most annoying. It’s funny bc I think SCP Foundation is overly filled with silly “monsters” but the awes in control were quite well done. The idea about an fbi-like entity cataloguing these awes is just so interesting.

In Quantum Break, Monarch seems to be a double entendre, taken from Doctor Who. Monarch = Butterfly effect. Monarch = King, ruler. Monarch = Time Lord. Also, the black hole running the time machine hails to the Eye of Harmony in Doctor Who, a black hole that allows their time travel technology to function. The Panopticon in Control is also known from Doctor Who, from the same episode where we learn about the Eye of Harmony.

Son, I really appreciate all the time you put into this video. It is comprehensive and entertaining all the way through. I would like to add a cool detail to your analysis. American Nightmare's song, Balance Slays the Demon, ties into Control with some hidden lyrics. "It will happen again, in another town. A town....called Ordinary." Jesse had her AWE experience in Ordinary which I think is very cool. Otherwise, well done Son.

Valhalla I think where that guy uses the name of an elder god and that’s such a round about reference you might as well go hunt fallout 4 for new Vegas references.

I really enjoy how you feel Alan's block In every aspect of this experience. How his struggle with it isn't just the manifestation of the enemies, but the town itself, the people in it, how Alan deals with these forces of evil, and their motivations. My take is that Alan is not a very good writer, not really, just going through the motions and playing to tropes with minor subversions in a mirror to say, JJ Abrhams for about 80 percent of the game. But at some point in the adventure he has a rebirth and the dam of creativity bursts. The entire experience becomes far more compelling, far more complex, far more interesting, and far more subversive. It retroactively also makes everything better because his creative block is an intrigal part to the story itself (as well as the creative process). Whilst I played it the first time I didn't get this, but as I've slowly digested this story over the years I've grown more and more fond of it. I can't wait to see what happens in a few hours, and how remedy continues their story.

The harnesses in Quantum Break may have been taken from the 2010 Warehouse 13 episode, Time Will Tell, with H. G. Wells showing her Imperceptor Vest, allowing her to move so fast that time seems to stop or slow around her. This also fits in with the next game, Control, and it's Warehouse 13 atmosphere.

Oh mate, I _loved_ that show. It was sorely underrated, and I love that it has QB's lead's brother in it, heh. H.G. is prolly my favourite sci-fi character out of any show, she was a truly flawed character who had a core of goodness inside her. I would _love_ a _Warehouse 13_ game, but it'll sadly never happen. Could you imagine ziplining around that thing with Saul Rubinek going "WOAH WOAH WOAH, BACKTRACK A SEC! There's something wrong here" then looking for the missing artifact as the trigger for the missions, which I guess could be literally done in any order? The set-up alone has so much potential.

I have just gotten to the quantum break part of this video after deciding to watch it(it appeared on my feed after I decided to replay the Remedy games, go figure lol) and I'm not sure it's mentioned here but I would love to hear thoughts on it. There is actually a blog that started posting Feb 22nd, 2012(the same day American Nightmare was released) that I don't hear people talk about very often. It's called "This House of Dreams" and involves a person buying a home to renovate where they end up finding a box full of pictures of "a man in a wetsuit" and poems by Thomas Zane. Later there are even mentions of a dream with a creepy FBI agent whose badge reads AWE instead, the box disappearing and reappearing with a version of the clicker in it, and while exploring says "Nothing out of the ordinary in the town of Ordinary." It's fascinating to me to read so many threads connecting Wake to Control YEARS before the game came out. Even before Quantum when we first started to see AWE appear and things. Needless to say, I'm more than excited for the upcoming release.

I love the junctions. You know Paul has tried an infinite number of options in an infinite number of combinations. Thats why you get these choices. He's in a loop and keeps going back again and again to try something different. Im sure at the 3rd junction he probably just executed Jack and that caused everyone to die. Maybe he's tried actually just working with Jack. I think the thing this game is trying to tell us is that everything is predetermined. Also Jesse is a vibe.

Little thing most people probably missed. The island from Alan Wake is clearly marked Bird's Leg Island in the re-release. This is important because Barbara Jagger's name would be pronounced differently by the local Finnish population. The clue as to what I'm getting at is on the movie posters for Tom's movie. She is the Baba Yaga. Living on a hut on a bird's leg.

I have a lot of thoughts regarding the AWE DLC. I actually really enjoyed the story of Control, and the links to Alan Wake that were existing in the game prior to the DLC were tantalizing. Since you played it a little later; the Containment Center always had the Alan Wake references, even prior to the DLC. Seemed more of a wink/nod, I think the Object of Power is "the" typewriter. However, I didn't really like that Jesse became a character that Alan had written. Knowing more about the Remedy library/shared universe helps to ease that a bit frustration a bit, but it still felt kinda cheap. Alan just created this superhero woman to save him from the lake. I think him sending Max Payne to the FBC was him testing the boundaries of his ability to influence or interact with the world. He was able to write an authority figure like a detective, but could he write a new director that would have access to all of the secrets and power needed to break him free? This also makes me care a bit less about saving Dylan. Instead of a character, he ends up as an objective to be conquered. If he doesn't show up alongside Jesse in Alan Wake/whatever is next, I bet he just gets written out and we never see him again; unimportant to Alan Wake's escape. Final thought about Control as a whole. I didn't realize until the AWE DLC that all of the audio logs with Trench had *SIGNIFICANTLY* more information than they played in the snippets during the game. I was a little mad when I got all the way to the end only to realize I missed a chunk of the story while it was relevant.

Unfortunately Quantum Break can not be part of the Remedyverse since they don't own the IP. They will have to work a deal with MS, but on top of that ...since QB is not in PS they can't add it to the universe cause Sony users knows nothing about that game.

Ah, fuck, I'd forgotten that Lance Riddick had died. I was always hoping they'd give his character some pay-off from the end of _Quantum Break._ :/ The Ashtray Maze in _Control_ might just be the best 10 minutes of gameplay I've _ever_ played, that game is _fantastic._ I can't wait for the follow-up.

Max Payne could be linked in this universe as he has some interesting events tied to that slow motion effect could Max have hold of a object of power and not be aware of its ability's effecting his life this could be great if it were and make for a blockbusting reason to revisit in new installments!

nah I feel like Max's story is done he's had his arc he deserves to rest although I like the object of power idea cause he eats painkillers like candy and should've died a few thousand times over by now lol

Portal and Half Life I believe were hinting at sharing a connected universe but yeah most examples I can think of where games shared a universe but weren't necessarily the same series don't go that far beyond hinting at it with small details and maybe potentially having cameos for characters between series.

If you look at Alan wake character naming theirs another layer. The two main characters Alan & barry can make up the name of the hero Flash( Barry Allen) who, in his universe, represents hope and light

I feel like Alex Casey is Max Payne. With the limited amount of info I have especially after the Alan Wake 2 gameplay trailer it makes sense. In universe it could just be the Max faked his death and changed his name to his friend Alex who was killed in Max Payne 1 to honor his memory but out of universe it's of course because Rockstar owns the ip. It really does seem the only difference between them is a name and that's it. I love Remedy man

2:31:25 thats actually scientifically accurate, as far as we know. You cant travel back further than the moment of the first time travel. Which is why it could be possible for us. Cuz its the reason why we havent been bombarded with time tourists, AND its the reason we will know the moment someone figures it out. Cuz that moment WILL be bombarded with time tourist. Even if the inventor keeps it hidden for a thousands years, it doesnt matter. Cuz eventually ppl will find out, itll eventually have public access, and a shit ton of ppl will wanna go back as far as they can.
