![]() I think Sam Lake always intended for his stories to web out in this manner, but I don't think Control was how he originally pictured it. I'm sure Max would have some issue about what Alan did to his family, for instance. Given that Alex Casey "is" Max Payne, I think it would be interesting to see them meet face to face. I agree about Quantum Break, but also (and even more so) Max Payne. Meanwhile, Sam Lake is creating this universe from scratch, and in the medium of games nothing like this has been done before to my knowledge. Don't get me wrong, love the MCU, but they took characters and stories that already co-existed in their universe and figured out a great way to put them on the big screen. I actually have more of a respect for what Sam Lake is doing than I do for The Avengers MCU thing. Just a shame that Microsoft owns Quantum Break, because if you brought all the games Sam has worked on, and you brought all these characters together for an Avengers type shared universe showdown with an ultimate bad guy, it would easily be one of the most legendary and ambitious games ever made. Lake is is having a blast writing a thought provoking and entertaining story, much like his idles King and Lynch, in the same way those idles wrote with influence from theirs. Or he just got really lucky coming up with the idea of Controls story, and found that he could easily connect all the other stories and characters, in the way King's Dark Tower series is allowed to do because the subject material is about alternate realities. I'm convinced that he set out to have a shared universe from the get go. Sam Lake being the avid Stephen King and David Lynch fan that he is, you're statement of Alan Wake being a passion project is slightly underselling it haha
