This man one of the greatest minds in video games
Big fax
Yessir
Im not saying one bit he shouldn’t do games. But if he is the brain behind the story telling, his brain would do far better in writing ( novel, movie, series ) everything this man had hands on is fantastic.
Max Payne ,Max Payne 2 , Quantum break , Alan wake American Nightmare,control, and now Alan Wake 2. One of the best writers of all time.
@@chrismaple779I’d love to see a Sam lake novel if the day ever comes he decided to step away from games. Maybe my dream project
They need to put his face in the remake. He is Max Payne.
Yes but young Sam Lake model like in the original 🙏
He is Alex Casey in Alan Wake 2 too
@@p4li12 Max Payne = Alex Casey ;)
Never liked the smug face in the 1st Max Payne game
He IS back, actually. Rockstar owns the rights to Max Payne so they renamed him to "Alex Casey" and yes, he appears in Alan Wake 2.
Sam is a legend. cant wait for Alan Wake 2. and the Max Payne 1 and 2 remake.
and Control 2 !!!
Control 2 is the next project
And Quantum Break 2!

Are they actually remaking max Payne or just doing what a GTA did
Love the praise for Matthew Porretta. His range, between Alan Wake and Dr. Darling, is truly astonishing! In general, all actors Remedy re-uses over their games have some incredible talent
Remedy games have so much love poured into them, and it shows. You always can feel the creators behind the curtain, having fun with it. Feels llike very few other studios have that.
Agreed!
Agreed! Remedy 100x times better than Activision
@@Frostecywithout a question
@@Frostecy better than rockstar too
Love the profile picture
Sam Lake is the Christopher Nolan of video games
no thats kojima
@@Kappppppppp they both are
@@Kappppppppp Kojima is the M. Night Shyamalan of video games
But Sami can do actual art, not just explaining you smart, semi-scientific stuff for 2.5 hours.
Kojima is closer to Lynch. Lake is 100% Nolan
This is what happens when a director is a creative
Control deserved more attention in my opinion when it was released. The gameplay is great, but it’s concepts and zaniness, bizarre comedy and creepy pasta taken to an amazing level is just so unique in mainstream gaming.
It’s like if you’ve put David Lynch, Nicolas Refn and Denis Villeneuve making a videogame together.
The David Lynch aspect is wildly apparent in the town of Bright Falls.
@@Chimchimchu Yes, it feels like an homage definitely :)
@@ChimchimchuI mean there are many direct references to Twin Peaks in Alan Wake 1 & 2. Just look at the Diner, it's almost a replica. Or the parallels between Log Lady and Cynthia Weaver with her lamp in Alan Wake. You can find whole articles and videos pointing out all the references to Twin Peaks.
@user-yt6bj5hz7c exactly. It does take some patience and a capacity to cross all the references and pieces of lore though, which is not for everyone. It just requires more attention and absorbing the lore more than most mainstream games and most people will not have such patience.
It's by far my favorite game, all the environmental storytelling, helping you unravel the mysteries of what happened in events of the game, but never actually showing exactly what happened, leaving it up to you, the player, to come to your own theories, and how there's all these nonsense paranatural scientific explanations that somehow make perfect sense, and the badass jedi-like powers are a huge bonus
This dude is 53? He's aging wonderfully.
lots of fun in the bedroom, no drugs, workout routine, and eating healthy, daily vitamins
All that running and jumping and bullet time is a great work out
@@draco2xx
Fun in the bedroom? What does it have to do with anything?
@@ThaBotmonGood sexual health does many things for your skin

Based on what source(s)?
My favorite line is "Don't answer that, it's a rethorical question."
sam lake and his writing has always been a treat, the way remedy makes those things come to life is breathtaking
Control Ashtray Maze was unreal, i'll never forget that experience !
Such a great moment! Right up there with the Old Gods of Asgard stage fight as far as kick-assery but on a whole different level of trippy.
Same! The music made it epic!
TAKE. CONTROL.
fkin love that part.
@@shady4071 gaming memories made right there !
There's a similar part in Alan Wake 2
"Make that face, Sam" - Everyone that runs into him
The man who single handedly defined an entire genre of great storytelling in games, and elevated them to an art form
Alan Wake 2 is a mind blowing game. It’s a MUST PLAY , congrats to everyone at Remedy for delivering this masterpiece.
It’s even more of a masterpiece than Quantum Break???
Absolutely.
@@robert779yup of course!
I’m halfway through. The gameplay has flaws, but the atmosphere is incredible.
Seriously! It truly is a masterpiece, and a sober reminder of how video games very much can be - and are - art.
*"IT'S PAYNE!!! WHACK 'IM!!!!"*
max payne was a damn masterpiece. The nightmare level where you are in your house and follow the trail and the sound of your crying baby...that will stay with me forever.
3:30 Picking Poets of the Fall to do the Music and Original songs for Alan Wake - and making them an alter ego band in-game world - was BEYOND brilliant and incredible!

Alan Wake 2 coming after 13 years is unbelievable, thank you 😊
Love Sam's writing and his vision for Remedy games.
Dude you can just tell how much love and affection this guy puts into his games. Remedy is phenomenal. Very few studios have this level of passion poured into their games.
This guy is a legend and he deserve more recognition for his work.
Quantum Break is so underrated. Love that game
Totally agree! People gloss over it mostly because it was so hardware demanding on release. If you want to fully understand the lore of Alan Wake, Control etc the most interesting aspects can be found in Quantum Break.
Tem pontes altas, se jogue delas, faça bugie jump sem o elástico
Quantum was incredible at launch and the most next Gen at the time. Alan Wake 2 is recreating that awesome moment in time. Remedy belongs on the Mt Rushmore of game developers
@@dylankurtz8423 Remedy, Rockstar, Bethesda, Valve
@@crooster1Problem with Quantum Break is it acted more like a television show than a video game.
I’m willing to bet his favorite Alan Wake 2 moment has gotta be Herald of Darkness
Alan Wake 2: It's gotta be the dance segment. Bro was getting sturdy asf.
Max Payne is ♥. Cult classics fr.
Max Payne isn't just a cult classic. Max Payne games are very popular, but they came out when pirated games was the most common way to play games.
Max Payne is the greatest 3rd person shooter series.
And was well optimized!!
And no one could argue with you 👌
Uh army of 2?
Max payne: IGN 9/10,
Army of two: IGN 7.9/10@@johnsavage2083
@@johnsavage2083definitely doesn't come close 😂😂😂😂
"Sam Lake you hack!" Bricky, 2023
I’m gonna go ahead and guess that “Herald of Darkness” was his favorite moment in Alan Wake 2. Just gonna guess, lol
Watching Sam and Marko mess around as various characters in the MP2 TV shows always makes me smile.
Max Payne 2 is always going to be one of my favorite games.
Unpopular opinion but Max Payne 3 was as great as previous games. Yeah, it was more Hollywood'ish, there was no more of the personal drama, yet it felt so natural as final point of the series.
max payne 2 is my all time favorite remedy game
Most underrated game director ever , this guy is a genius thank you mr sam for all your hard work through the years , this man put remedy on the map , it was just a small dev now its a big triple a dev he is the western version of kojima
He’s like the underrated hideo Kojima but what differs him to Kojima is that he always doesn’t let his remedy team feel left out since he always says “we” and refers to specific people who helped out so basically he is a humble person another thing that differs him from Kojima is that he has a loving personality and always cares and really appreciates fans who play remedy games.
Rest in Peace James McCaffrey
Waiting for max payne 1 % 2 remake
Doesn’t Rockstar hold the rights now, though?
@@zachm2331 Yes. It's a collab between Rockstar and Remedy. Remedy develop the remake, Rockstar publish it.
Yea Rockstar ummm wait isn't Rockstar bad with remakes
@@powerfulshammy there is a big difference between Remedy and Grove Street Games lmao. No need to worry, the remakes will look great
Max Payne remake is my most anticipated game in this generation.
Quantum Break such an underrated gem of a game.
Max Payne is one of my favorite games and gaming franchises. Please consider a reboot or remake
Max Payne 1+2 remakes have already been announced, mate.
Love Sam, love Remedy and love Poets of the Fall!
Looking forward to those Max Payne remakes and wish, that somehow, Remedy will get the opportunity to one day create another Max Payne title. Only Remedy understands what makes Max Payne, Max Payne.
The way that Quantum Break is underrated is almost criminial. Easily up the with Control. And the story and specially the visuals are top notch.
I'm pretty sure it woul've received better, if it was not exclusive to Xbox but rather to PlayStation. 2015 was a rough time for Xbox One (rightfully so, but that doesn't make this Remedy game bad).
It has a great story and still some of the best graphics ever...the problem is the short gameplay time, too many cutscenes + clunky combat feel.
The problem wasn't the xbox console itself the problem was it was fighting against uncharted 4 at the time of release
@@rcadenow7543 all things praised in PS exclusives, yet it is bad in Quantum Break? Strange.
No need to bring the console war nonsense into this. The gameplay was quite average and the TV series format was inefficient and gets in the way of pacing. The review score was around 7 which is not that bad, but it was justified.
Nah it felt rushed and meh
Sam Lake is not a Lake, he’s an Ocean. Truely one of the best game directors of all time
He's like a Finnish version of Hideo Kojima.
Remedy is exactly the type of developers we need in 2023. They're not afraid to be experimental and to have fun with games and story telling. Quality wise, they are beyond any other developer in the industry. Looking forward to diving into Alan Wake 2 and reliving the moments in Max Payne when the remake releases.
they also continue to push graphics technology in creative and artistic ways. Their games are absolutely gorgeous but never generic and always dripping with atmosphere
"Quality wise, they are beyond any other developer in the industry" - Even Rockstar Games?!?
Yes, even Rockstar. Quality is more than details and graphics. Look at the unique way that we play AW2, Control and Max Payne versus RDR and GTA.@@TecraX2
@@bnthewildernessMax Payne 1 a legend of gaming but they are not better than Rockstar
@@bnthewildernessso tell me in what way are they better than GTA lol. GTA games are way harder to make
Sam Lake really is such a cool guy.
Remedy games are by far my favorites in terms of story telling. Now if only we could get Remedy and Hideo Kojima together on a project, just a thought
Kojima actually did voice acting for a side quest in control
And Sam's face scan was used in Death Stranding
there is a BB easter egg as well
So passionate about the creative process and proud/ excited of his work. Easy to see why Sam Lake is such a gaming icon
And meanwhile everybody knows the best moment ever in Alan Wake 2
Imagine Sam Lake and Hideo Kojima would decide to do a project together
This is some Chistopher Nolan type stuff. And Sam Lake is a OG.
Yeah it reminds me of Nolan style plots but less pretentious
Sam Lake is a visionary auteur just like Kojima! Just less full of himself 👏
Phenomenal comment.
Unironically this
And less insane, at least a lot of Remedy games are zany as hell but by the end it all makes sense at least.
Kojima is overrated
And funnier
Quantum Break is criminally underrated in Remedy's admittedly stellar library of games.
Quantum Break is sooooo underrated. So many amazing gunfights!
My guess his favorite from AW2 is the concert bit around a quarter way through the game. That was so out of no where and it just made me smile.
“M’ Lord! M’Lady!”
Best Remedy games imo
1-Max Payne 1
2- Max Payne 2
3- Control
4- Alan Wake
5- Quantum Break
And death rally? Lol
Played them and love them ❤️
Death Rally 😂😂
what about Crossfire tho lol. they made the single player version of it
Quantum break was one of the best from remedy. wish it got a sequel. PS rest in peace Lance Reddick.
Alan wake 2 is a MASTERPIECE. Anybody on the edge of buying should 1000% do it. Sam Lake is an absolute genius and needs to be protected at all costs
Walking simulator. Boring pretentious slop
@@AMan-vs4vsur a clown
@@AMan-vs4vsyeah, just like your everyday life.
@@AMan-vs4vsOh honey, do you need 10 tiktoks playing simultaneously on the side of your screen with Subway Surfers and a Reddit story on top of a cooking video to keep you entertained?
Best scene from Control? Ashtray Maze. Nothing else even comes close.
You're goddamn right! But also, for me Control is the best Remedy Game.
The Dynamite music video is a close second
@@PaulXPZ yup. Despite being funny and silly, it thematically fit because you see it shortly before the end, as if Daring was giving a pep talk to Jesse right before the final boss.
To me, the Swift Platform mission from Control is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in the past decade. The lead up, the music, the setting, all great!
Remedy low key IS the master of storytelling
It's so inspiring that Sam has such energy and interest in every project after so many years! Max Payne was one of the first PC games in my life, and it was ideal for that time even for a 12 years old boy who obviously wasn't able to fully uppreciate this masterpiece. And Sam still brings his passion and vision to us in different ways, this man deserves respect.
It's clear Sam WANTED to talk about We Sing for Alan Wake 2.
His favorite moment in Alan Wake 2 was definitely Harold of Darkness or the Zane film.
Can't wait for Control 2 + both Max Paynes being remade and combined into 1
The Finish Hideo Kojima just a lovable goofball
Finnish hideo Kojima but with lovable characteristics , passionate and very humble ( he always don’t leave his team out when talking about the projects that he is directing or writing and likes his team).
Max 2 was one of his finest works and he doesn't even know about it ! The story telling is still unmatched in video games industry
I'd be down for Sam Lake to return as Max Payne.
Sam Lake and Remedy is one of the greatest national treasures Finland has given to the world! It's amazing how long Remedy has been in business and how they have developed their craft. I've been kinda overlooking Remedy for too long, but in recent years I've gained a new appreciation for their games.
He's basically Kojima without the pretentiousness.
The Ash tray maze will forever be one of my favorites moments in gaming, it was an spectacle
Max Payne series deserves a remake!
They're making it. Both the games.
Sam Lake is a fuken genius, all Remedy games are jewels.
Quantum break is such an underrated gem, gets shadowed by the heavyweight titles like Control, Alan Wake and Max Payne.
Max Payne changed my life
Sam Lake having Max Paynes face talking about Max Payne the video game. Doesn’t get more meta that that 😅
Control and Quantum Break are not just games. Pure art.
Remedy and Sam Lake are cultural treasures!!
Max Payne 1, 2, & 3, Lifetime classic's. I look forward to the Max Payne remake's, if the developers commit to it as well.😎
Remedy was not involved in Max Payne 3
@@jithinperayil7899 I'm referring to the games itself not just the development team
One of the coolest game grown up playing this.
Without a doubt Järvi is referring to Alan Wake 2 musical scene. It was indeed hands down the best gaming scene I've ever experienced since 90's 🙂
Imagine if Sam Lake and Kojima collaborated on a game
The stage battle in Alan Wake is one of my favorite scenes in a videogame. Just pure crazy, over-the-top fun
Sam Lake Icon Legend. Thank you for countless jawdrop moments while playing your games and pushing boundaries what this media can do to entertain us
This is the kind of guy that hollywood needs, a great writer making great stories
Fenomenal game so far. What a genius.
Alan Wake 2 is their best game by a mile! Love to see their artistic and technical growth
Control's Ash Tray maze is one of my all time favorite moments !!
Love how weird and interesting Remedy games are. Can't wait for Alan Wake 2
The airport shootout in Max Payne 3 is in my top 3 favorite moments in remedy games. The music is paced so well to that action, the lyrics being tied to Max’s character is poetic.
Really proud of this man. Absolute legend.
Just finished Alan Wake 2, it's a MASTERPIECE!
100%
The passion of this man is unbreakable!
This dude is the equivalent of david lynch gaming double
first things first Controls Ashtray Maze is truly one of the greatest level designs in gaming in my opinion from music, Gameplay to level design per perfection. secondly wish Quantum break was apart of the same universe as AW & Control. that being said truly happy Remedy getting the opportunity to do remake of max payne and sequels to AW & Control.
If you love Quantum Break, you're gonna be VERY happy in a few years... 👍
Please, do tell us more@@Beavernator !
wasn't the fbc referenced in Quantum break?
Imagine if there was a collaboration with the writers from the show "Dark" and "Remedy" to make a video game with an unbelievable story.
Remedy making an game adaptation of Inception or TENET is my dream
alan wake 2 is masterpiece
Everybody knows his favorite part was the musical
We are lucky to have Sam Lake
Max Payne is the best game of all time. Replaying several times in Android phone was amazing!
he just names all my favorite scenes effortlessly :"D
Darling is one of the highlights in any game ever.
Sam Lake is a genius. Alan Wake 2 will be yet another amazing 90+ metacritic game. My personal game of the year is coming!
