First thought on meeting Estevez: "ugh, another hardass government type who will make life difficult for us" After Dark Ocean Summoning: "Estevez is a treasure and must be protected"
I'm so happy to see Janina talk about Kiran. I feel like she REALLY understands the story of this game and understand what the FBC is. Then I continue to watch the video and see that she's a fan of Remedy and it all makes sense. I'm so happy for her to land this role, I love Kiran and hope to see more of her maybe in Control 2.
i love that kiran is not only extremely talented at her role, but she’s also a super fan of remedy just like the rest of us. it’s great to see such amazing artists work together and how much they care for the stuff they’re working on :) thank you remedy and all the wonderful people on the inside 💝💝
I just finished Alan Wake II Final Draft last night. I can't say how much the Remedy Universe, and specifically Alan Wake 2, mean to me. Remedy has made not only one of my favorite wild and weird interconnected universe, it also has told one of the most beautifully written stories about depression I've ever seen. As an artist and a writer who has struggled with their own addictions, anxieties, fears, and creative block, Alan Wake 2 is a special game for me. I can't wait for Control 2, and I hope to see Kiran Estevez "Return".
I love when the people who work on the project are also huge fans of the project. Both Janina and Kiran are excellent additions to Remedy and the narrative universe of the RCU.
Between the main game and the Lake House I want to see more of Kiran Estevez. I want to see how Estevez and Jesse Faden interact. She hasn’t met the new director yet given the lockdown at The Oldest House still being in effect. I think that Jesse still needs a Head of Investigations. Maybe her injuries from Alan Wake II pull her out of the field, and she’s able to use her experiences to make a great Head of Investigations.
Least I expect are some audiologs in FBC Firebreak by Estevez. Since „The Old House has gone dark“, she probably won’t be there. But Remedy have gone back to their actor collaborators since Max Payne and the interview makes it look like a healthy creative relationship
I love how they just went and uploaded the video instead of reshooting it for when Sam felt better. I hope he fells better after almost a year after :p
must've been like a scheduling thing, both of them only had time this one time and one of them traveled to film it, and then he got sick 😅 it's really unfortunate
Enjoyed Gavankar's appearances in everything back to Sleepy Hollow, and even Battlefront. Glad to see her getting much more interesting character here. Estevez and Faden need to have a sit down during Control 2 where they both go on at length about how messed up and stupid all this supernatural stuff is. Oh and with Emily Pope randomly bursting in screaming, "MORE TESTS!"
I was so excited to see her in Alan Wake, she's absolutely one of my favorite actors in gaming. Can't wait to see the continued adventures of Agent Kiran Estevez!
I recognized Janina the second she appeared: "No way!!! That's Ren from Big Sky! She's definitely going to kick some Taken tail in this game!" Of course, that didn't happen, until the DLC lol. I hope we see more of her and play as both her and Saga in Control 2 DLC.
Remedy stated that Control 2 is one of their most ambitious titles to date. I'm expecting it to blow the original out of the water and surpass AW2 as well. I couldn't be more excited!
I'd enjoy a "low-level" FBC agent game, with Estevez as the lead. It was nice playing the Lake House DLC with a character who wasn't superpowered but also had a decent grasp at what was going on, giving her a nice perspective to the supernatural nonsense.
I just love her contagious passion, the way in the end she is excited to look for the connections in the Remedy Universe and even imagines it for a moment!
Definitely hoping that Agent Estevez scores some cool superpowers and we get to play as her again in Control 2. Love Janina Gavankar, she's always such a sweetheart who gives it her all.
Janina was pulling a great Solo in Lake House. Refreshing to watch a Professional, Non-Parautilitarian standing against the dark presence and all the awful stuff in the facility.
Estevez and Casey discussing wife troubles must have been one of the funniest, most relaxing moments in AW2 in all the craziness happening. Would love seeing a cameo of Sam Lake and Dale Cooper talking over a dinner table about what a "damn fine cup of coffee" should be like :))
Yeah she can be very good with an actual good writing team behind her. Then again they also did her very dirty with that bait n switch story Trailer where EA sold an "Imperial Campaign" and did a 180 after Mission 2
James McCaffrey, i will always be sad about your passing, but at least we have your awesome performances in the incredible body of work that Remedy hass created to remember your legacy. RIP
I just played the first three or so hours of The Lake House. It's so scary. Janina is a great actress, awesome choice to let us play as Estevez. Also the writer in the cell is so well acted it kind of blew me away.
I think that acting for videogames or motion capture if you will is very different she might be one of the best videogame actors. I think that her dialog in Lake House was really organic I it felt right given she was tier 1 agent for the FBC. Where Saga and Alan commented in narative voice she was expresing her emotion out loud which was awesome I think. Few times I had exactly the same reaction to the gameworld as she did. Anyway I hope we are going to see more of her in future remedy games.
RIP, i will always follow and promote the great work you all put your whole beings into, its not unnoticed. Extremely sad we probably wont get that dlc focused around casey but look forward to the future of remedy.
So great to see Sam being in this interview even with a hoarse voice. Things developers can go through just for the sake of TRANSPERENCY of their LOVED FRANCHISE🥰🥰🥰
I hope remedy can stay alive in our current climate with the game’s industry. If we lose them we’ll never get another developer studio like them. There are too many people that don’t appreciate their games.
Janina's passion and enthusiasm for the Remedyverse is so refreshing. I wasn't aware she was so involved in the back-end of production. It makes me feel better about what's to come from the next core titles. I'm still a bit wary of how Firebreak will fit into the tone of the Remedyverse, but I'm exited nonetheless, and will give it an honest go when it's available.
It would be awesome to have a game starring Agent Estevez! We got experience playing as the Director of the FBC, parautlitarians, and FBI agents. I would like the play as Estevez leading my own team, being able to decide their weapons, abilities, and traits. It would so so cool to get and AWE alert at HQ and have to activate your team and the choices you make durning the event having consequences.
If they interview Shawn Ashmore and Courtney Hope I hope they have them do the interview together instead of separately, because of having still worked together here and there since Quantum Break I feel like they're friends
Lake House is amazing. Despite it being a short one, the overall care and details make it like a little gem worth absolutely the prise. Also I wanna point out that Lake House runs much better than the main game, did u get experianced how to optimize the levels or are they really small and light for the hardware? :D
I LOVE ESTEVEZ … as a character that is, Strong Female character Greta Latino representation and not honed it she deserves all the praise for AW2 and the Lake House DLC. CROSSING MY FINGERS WE SEE HER IN CONTROL 2
Poor Sam. I've had laryngitis, and it's frustrating and painful. Janina is such a fan. Estevez is such a good addition to the RU. I love in the Lake House how matterl of fact she is when weird shit happens. Looping hallways? Just spacial recursion. Talking panting? It's just Tuesday at the FBC.😂
Don't let the darkness reach your voice Sam.
Now he is scratch 😂
@@Bocharov10literally lmao
@@Bocharov10 Good one!
@@Bocharov10 hahahah made my day

Rest in peace James. You will be missed sir
This was a great interview. Love hearing the fan in her about games and ofcourse Time Knife, so cool
Give my man Sam a cough drop 😩
nah he is goner
Give him a cup of Cauldron Lake Blend
I like how Sam was just nodding and smiling towards the end. Probably trying to save what little voice he had left.
First thought on meeting Estevez: "ugh, another hardass government type who will make life difficult for us"

She wanted a t-shirt, so did I
exactly!
She's literally me
@@tacticaljunk1608 It was such a Remedy move to have her first hide in a closet and then reveal she has an ex-wife
I love Janina's passion for story-driven games. She plays Kiran very well.
I'm so happy to see Janina talk about Kiran. I feel like she REALLY understands the story of this game and understand what the FBC is.

The "I can't wait" in the end is a perfect encapsulation of all Remedy fans :D
I love when the people who work on the project are also huge fans of the project. Both Janina and Kiran are excellent additions to Remedy and the narrative universe of the RCU.
I love Janina's enthusiasm in working for Remedy but also games, in general. It's great to see women represented in the gaming community as well. 💜

Yaaaay, she is a Remedy nerd, now I love her even more❤❤❤
Love how passionate she is about the remedyverse and she really knows her stuff !
Kiran is the best!❤❤❤❤
Get well soon, Sam Lake, and stay healthy ❤
As mentioned in the beginning, this was filmed in December 2022, so I'm pretty sure he should be good now.:D
@ hope so 🤞🏻
She was awesome man
I was so excited to see her in Alan Wake, she's absolutely one of my favorite actors in gaming. Can't wait to see the continued adventures of Agent Kiran Estevez!
RIP James.
i really liked her performance in Battlefront 2’s campaign, and she really nailed it here!! what a badass woman.
0:16 WHY IS HE POSING LIKE THAT, HE LOOKS LIKE A MODEL 😂
I like to imagine the FBC and Monarch in the Life Is Strange Universe. Perfect place to have them both in.
I recognized Janina the second she appeared: "No way!!! That's Ren from Big Sky! She's definitely going to kick some Taken tail in this game!" Of course, that didn't happen, until the DLC lol.
I hope we see more of her and play as both her and Saga in Control 2 DLC.
This game is crazy, I hope the control sequel remains the same or better
Remedy stated that Control 2 is one of their most ambitious titles to date. I'm expecting it to blow the original out of the water and surpass AW2 as well. I couldn't be more excited!
She is so cool. I loved playing as her in the dlc :)
I'd enjoy a "low-level" FBC agent game, with Estevez as the lead. It was nice playing the Lake House DLC with a character who wasn't superpowered but also had a decent grasp at what was going on, giving her a nice perspective to the supernatural nonsense.
GOD i would love a full game with her!!!
I am so glad that you guys made a physical!!!!! I got 3 to show my support. I waited 14 years to hear the end of Alan wake.
Great actor and character. I hope shes in Control 2
Wow, Janina has really put a lot of thought and passion into the role. Here's hoping we get to see a lot more Kiran moving forward!
She was wonderful in this role!
I love Janina's passion for the game, and she's so talented. I hope Remedy will write more roles for her.
I like when the actors are actually fans of the games. Also loved the Control 2 teaser in the DLC
Lakehouse was awesome, love this game and am blown away by the effort you guys put into it.
I just love her contagious passion, the way in the end she is excited to look for the connections in the Remedy Universe and even imagines it for a moment!
love Sam's twin peaks t shirt
Definitely hoping that Agent Estevez scores some cool superpowers and we get to play as her again in Control 2. Love Janina Gavankar, she's always such a sweetheart who gives it her all.
What an incredibly wholesome thing. Thank you for posting this today, it made me feel so much better.
Janina was pulling a great Solo in Lake House. Refreshing to watch a Professional, Non-Parautilitarian standing against the dark presence and all the awful stuff in the facility.
The Control / Alan Wake crossover lore is darkly fantastic. Loved the Lake House expansion. Thank you Sam & Remedy for giving the fans a wild ride.
Estevez and Casey discussing wife troubles must have been one of the funniest, most relaxing moments in AW2 in all the craziness happening. Would love seeing a cameo of Sam Lake and Dale Cooper talking over a dinner table about what a "damn fine cup of coffee" should be like :))
I'm soo happy to see Janina working on good video game project after her very forgettable role in Star Wars Battlefront 2.
Yeah she can be very good with an actual good writing team behind her. Then again they also did her very dirty with that bait n switch story Trailer where EA sold an "Imperial Campaign" and did a 180 after Mission 2
@@raveshaw6161 Yeah, EA didn't do any justice to her career.
It's unfortunate, because I actually loved her Iden performance.
She was just done dirty by the writers, especially with the bait 'n' switch story.
Her role in this game wasn't equally forgettable?
@@kodybuffettwilson Not for me
She is awesome! So is Sam! Love em.

God damn Sam’s voice like that is way fucking scarier then any of the actual lines from the Taken 😂
Sam actually sounds badass, he could voice Ahti's grandfather in Control 2

Possibly my favorite character now
You did wonderfully for Kiran Estevez, especially in the DLC :)
Sam, I hope your voice is better since that interview was recorded !
"how do I get to the room with the gun" I loved that line and the way she delivered it.

i already love janinas work as an actor but its awesome to now know her legit passion for the industry and the lore of remedy
Sam is going to need a remedy for that cough 😅
Janina is an amazing addition to the RCU! I hope we see the her in Control 2!
YES Janina ! as always doing a incredible work and getting invested in the story and characters
She's also starred in season 2 of Tv show Big Sky. Great show, great actress
I hope she is featured in Control 2. Board knows we need all the Staff we can get.
If they interview Shawn Ashmore and Courtney Hope I hope they have them do the interview together instead of separately, because of having still worked together here and there since Quantum Break I feel like they're friends
I really love Alan Wake and hope the series continue :D
I love her, ever since I seen her on stage promoting battlefront 2

I cant tell exactly if she's acting but she is reeeeally engaged! And I think Sam and the team really should appreciate hiring her :D
hope we get to see estevez in Control 2 to help jesse in the oldest house
We can't wait either, Esteves...
We can't wait either...
The face mo cap is wild.
Estevez is cool, hope to see her in Control 2
Its such a good game will replay for sure on next gen after few years

she does a better job at promoting your game than your actual community manager who has only been know for trash talking on social media
