    This game is one of the biggest reasons I wanted a Xbox. I absolutely cannot wait.

    I'm a huge fan of the Max Payne series (Remedy made Max Payne 1/2, with 3 being made by Rockstar), and this looks like they've more or less brought that concept into 2016 -- with some major and important differences.

    If you pre-order the digital version (this may be true for boxed copies as well, but last I heard was digital) for Xbox One, you will get a free copy for PC as well. Both versions come out on the same day.

    If you pre-order for Xbox One, you will also get Alan Wake for backwards compatibility. (Alan Wake was a 360 game, it's good as well.)

    The game also has cross platform saves on Xbox One / Windows 10, which I would say is quite uncommon. Might get me to start playing games on my PC a bit more again.

    [Edit] Confirmed: Digital pre-orders for Xbox One will get the Windows 10 PC version for free. ALL Xbox One purchases get Alan Wake for backwards compatibility. Xbox One pre-orders get Alan Wake's DLC for backwards compatibility as well.

    I believe the video is the Xbox version if that helps. By all accounts it looks outstanding visually.

    Hope it delivers.

    Like the idea of intelligent enemies using time travel against me, and if some of that is AI time travel attacks that would be interesting.

    Shooters are fun, but they do seem lack story telling and drama more often than not.

    I thought the Tomb Raider game was a lot of fun, but the shooter aspect seemed to lack control. While the Puzzles and exploration shined.

    I don't think Tomb Raider is really a shooter. It's more action adventure, but yeah I see what you're saying. That's one of the things I truly enjoyed about Max Payne and even Alan Wake -- I think Remedy does a great job at telling stories. The noir aspect of Max Payne was one of my favorite things about it. (I'm not normally into that, either)

    I think you might like this one, but it's definitely going to be a lot more heavy on the shooting than something like Tomb Raider.

    I'm not very far in so it would be hard for me to judge (act 1 scene 4 or some such). With that said it has some of the best effects I've ever seen in a video game. I've really enjoyed all the mocap and so on.

    The biggest complaints I've heard is the length of the game (around 10 hours or so on normal), there is some replay value in that things you do in the game can change how cinematics play out. (though the game ending will never change)

    Remains to be seen? I'm enjoying it though.

    You are in act 1 and you say there is some replay value.. finished it and I don't see how there is any replay value what so ever. The bad writing and acting episodes smashed between each act did not help.
