From Remedy’s business review JANUARY–MARCH 2024

Codename Condor, a part of the Control franchise, moved to full production meaning it has reached the final development stage before a game is launched. Based on wide internal playtests, we can see that the core loop is engaging, and the game brings a unique Remedy angle to the genre.

Control 2 team has focused on finalizing the proof-of-concept stage, in which the game world, game mechanics and visual targets are proven. We expect the project to advance to the production readiness stage during the second quarter of 2024.

Max Payne 1&2 remake continued in the production readiness stage. The game is expected to move into full production during the second quarter of 2024.

Codename Kestrel continued in the concept stage. The team works to refine the game concept.

Hopefully! It can’t come soon enough… unless they rush it, I suppose. But that’s usually not Remedy’s style.

I think it’s simply a question of what are Google’s interests. Users doesn’t pay anything to Google for the service, so that’s not where Google’s interests are. Advertisers pay Google, so that’s where Google’s interests are. Google has no interests to make the search better for users, they want to make it better for advertisers.

I think it would be enough if other search providers would be required to give a portion of their profit from each search to Google.

Project Hail Mary might fit the bill. It’s a story of a person who finds himself inside a spaceship, traveling somewhere in space to some location in space. He has lost his memory, so he has no idea why he is there or where he is going. All he knows is, that while he survived, his crewmates did not, and so, he is alone in space with somewhat annoying artificial intelligence as his only companion. He needs to save earth from something, but he doesn’t know that yet.

I’m not 100% sure if it is what you are looking for, but it is very highly regarded sci-fi book. Also it’s a standalone book (500 pages), not part of any kind of series of books, so it’s less daunting to read than something like The Expanse series. There are some violence, but I don’t remember how graphic it is.

We need to write “join lemmy” on the canvas.
