Remedy Teases Potential FPS Game After Crossfire X - RespawnFirst

Remedy devs talked about working on an FPS game of its own in the future once Crossfire X comes out. This is what you need to know.

With Crossfire X, Remedy has leaned into the first-person perspective and has figured out plenty of things in that space. When asked about whether Remedy would be interested in making an FPS game in the future Remedy’s Head of Communications Thomas Puha mentioned the following:

We spent a lot of time on the first-person animations early on, and I think it’s been done well. How does the gun look? How does it feel? If we don’t get that feel right then, you know, that’s everything in an FPS.
All of us play a lot of first-person shooters, and it is about how it feels when you aim and get that shot off. That was super-critical. It’s stating the obvious but it’s hard to get that stuff right.

Furthermore, Executive Producer Tuuka Taipalvesi mentioned the following regarding Remedy working on an FPS game of its own after Crossfire X:

Never say never. Because we’ve spent a lot of time crafting all the tools and tech to do this first-person game, and if you think of all the differences between third and first-person, like environment scaling and everything else, now that we have built this toolbox, why not find other uses for it?

Feeling cute. Might make another game. Maybe an FPS. I dunno

Are they running Crossfire X or merely developing it for someone else to take the reigns?

If they are running it then this is just stupid. A GaaS needs full long term commitment. You don't just pump it out, leave it to die, then move onto the next project.

Smilegate the owner is handling multiplayer and Remedy is contracted out by Smilegate to do the single player campaign.

Ah fair enough then.

Although third person instead of first person, Remedy made very fun shooters with Max Payne and its sequel. It will be interesting to see if the single-player for Crossfire X is enjoyable enough that you would want to replay it.

As for new games though, they did say they were working on expanding the Remedy universe so I hope we see Alan Wake 2 first.

Remedy is good at third person games. Not saying they shouldn't do it, but the FPS genre is so over saturated it would detract from the game for me.
