Max Payne remakes are going to be a huge undertaking, according to Remedy

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

Remedy, the original developers for Max Payne, entered an agreement with Rockstar Games to help bring its remakes alive. However, it's not as simple as you may think. 

Remedy first announced the remakes back in April 2022, promising 'AAA-game production'. While we're still unsure of any specific release date, we do know that this third-person shooter will be available to play on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. 

In an interview with Remedy's creative director, Sam Lake, it was revealed that the work behind the scenes to ensure the remakes of Max Payne and Max Payne 2 see the light of day is immense (via VCG). No one doubts that this project is going to be a large one; it's been 20 years since we last saw Max Payne 2 release for PC on October 14, 2003. 

“It is a significant undertaking in the sense that even if they are old games, just thinking about bringing them up to modern standards and combining them into one, you can see that it’s a big, big project,” Lake said. 

On top of remaking Max Payne, Remedy is also in the process of developing the much-anticipated survival horror game Alan Wake 2. However, we're much closer to the release date of this terrifying title, as it's set to become available for fans to play on October 27, 2023. 

Both of these titles will use Remedy's Northlight game engine, the same one that was also used for Quantum Break and Control. We can't wait to see what these new games have in store for us and how they'll look after two massive gaps in production. Hopefully, all the planning and struggling for the better part of a couple of decades will all be worth it for Remedy.

Want to store 1PB of data in the cloud? This startup can do it for you for as little as $10,000 a month — Qumulo says it can scale to Exabytes off premise and wants to eradicate tapes once and for all

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Qumulo has launched Azure Native Qumulo Cold (ANQ Cold), which it claims is the first truly cloud-native, fully managed SaaS solution for storing and retrieving infrequently accessed “cold” file data. Fully POSIX-compliant and positioned as an on-premises alternative to tape storage, ANQ Cold can be used as a standalone file service, a backup target for any file store, including on-premises legacy scale-out NAS, and it can be integrated into a hybrid storage infrastructure, enabling access to remote data as if it were local. It can also scale to an exabyte-level file system in a single namespace. “ANQ Cold is an industry game changer for economically storing and retrieving cold file data,” said Ryan Farris, VP of Product at Qumulo. “To put this in perspective with a common use case, hospital IT administrators in charge of PACS archival data can use ANQ Cold for the long-term retention of DICOM images at a fraction of their current on-premises leg

No light without dark : making the most of ‘shadow IT’

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support In the last few decades, technology has created a modern digital workforce that is technically skilled and adept at finding innovative solutions that would help them succeed at work. However, with 95% of employees struggling with digital friction in the workplace - including a lack of access to the right tools - ambitious employees who are hungry for results have often needed to explore fixes outside the scope of existing systems provided by their employers. On top of that, the popularity of cloud-based apps has resulted in business processes often ending up fragmented across various systems, requiring workers to devote time to manual maintenance. This has accelerated the spread of (the unnecessarily ominous sounding) ‘shadow IT’, or applications that savvy workers use without official authorization to help them bypass limitations and get work done. In a perfect world, a balance can be struck between giving these technically skilled workers freed
