According to the first information released by the company, both games will be present in a single package, will have the same budget as a high quality AAA game from Remedy and are still in the conceptual development stage, that is: it has not yet come out of paper.
Despite being two amazing games from the 2000s and being relatively playable even today, it will be very interesting to see them redone from the ground up with next-gen graphics and big-budget quality from the Rockstar behind the projects. The first title pioneered the “bullet time” mechanic, which used slow-motion time to help players defeat bad guys while also seeing incredible moments on screen (something largely inspired by the first Matrix).
