Game Informer's Ben Reeves asks Quantum Break's creative director Sam Lake as many questions as he can about Max Payne, Alan Wake, and the time-travelling action-game Quantum Break.

"Will we ever get to play Alan Wake 2?

"Yes"

He kept his promise.

[Lametastic]

"Could you have written a better Max Payne movie?"
*cringes*
"Yeeesss."
No kidding. As its original creator, that atrocity must have been payneful to watch.

[RiskE]

"whats your favorite Xbox One game"

"LEGO Marvel Superheroes"

he was so real for that

[psychedeliccarrie]

"Are you aging backwards"
"No"
Everyday I feel more and more that that was a lie.

[Mikeoneus]

Sam Lake always seems like a pretty cool guy.

[alexguerrero]

Indeed, the first twilight zone episode...
"What happen in the end of Alan Wake?"
-"The end"
Truly and philosophical answer

[cowabungaFC]

Sam Lake is a genious. Anything that has his touch is special somehow.

[zippo]

"What year would you like to go back to?"

"This year...?"

"Can you take me there now?"

"Here we are."

[spbart]

"- Could you make a better Max Payne movie?
- Yes"
Forthright :D
Do it! Please :)

[Shamino]

Bless your heart Sam Lake. You haven't been giving me enough opportunities to give you my money.

[iliaPayne]

Coming back from having played Control and I gotta say, no matter what Sam and Remedy do - it's always special.
I may like some games less than others, but each and every one of them is fresh, unique and full of passion.
These guys can do no wrong.

[agploo]

Are you aging backwards? -No. And yet he still looks exactly like 20 years ago.

[DevilMaster]

It's not Sam Lake. It's Sam Ocean.

[gaborhollywood]

Sam's answers are either savage, cool, or funny. 10/10 Youtube material.

[TP-rszl]

Sam is so dead pan funny, I love videos like this, not many big name game directors would be into this.
Nice to see Sam setting the example of being one of the coolest game directors out there.

[Spooky_Sunday]

"Which word wasn't in the Quantum Break script?"
"rosebud"
Clever.

[zippo]

0:07 dunno why you're all surprised he literally confirmed it over six years ago

[Pyke]

As a matter of fact... Why didn't Sam Lake write the Max Payne movie ?

I'm sure he can write a better movie than most of the hacks that tried writting movies out of game plots.
