Quantum Break's Sam Lake On The Future Of Interactive Storytelling
Game Informer's cover story for December is Remedy Entertainment's Quantum Break. We've been rolling out features that highlight different aspects of the game, but we wanted to focus in on the game's creative director Sam Lake and speak about his perception of the state of interactive storytelling. Known for his work on Max Payne and Alan Wake, Sam Lake has been a strong proponent of the storytelling potential of the medium and is tackling a new challenge with Quantum Break's embedded television show.
We speak with Lake about weighing the value of interactivity, the power of using storytelling cliches, and what he sees as the future of interactive storytelling.
Watch the video interview below to learn more from Remedy Entertainment's Sam Lake about the challenges of modern storytelling.

Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
