I liked the first AW. Well it could have been much better. But the american nightmare not so much.

My legs when I saw this thread title.
This will never get old.
I think I read somewhere that Remedy sees AW as a Microsoft property and vice-versa. Maybe I'm just making stuff up, but I think it was Sam Lake himself who said it.

Real life QWOP.
He isn't going to save Alice, because he saved her in the original game. AN was about him getting back to her.
Beat it twice. Second time on Nightmare difficulty, which is where the game sings.
Anyone NOT utilizing the game's obscenely good combat makes me sad. Yes, burning away darkness and then shooting might seem boring, but it's all about movement and area control.
Couldn't help but notice the author is in the GAF steam group.
Thanks! Yep, it was Oskari who said it then.

I really liked the original. Very nice story telling and atmosphere. Will happily buy a sequel

I know the ending implies he saved alice by stopping scratch, but didn't they qualify it by saying this one possible outcome or something to that effect? it's been a while since I last played the cmpaign in AN, I usually just play arcade mode due to how awesome is it.
the combat is pretty much why I play the arcade mode so much in AN. it really is a brilliant and very nuanced system and the new weapons complement it so much.
Is that their new building they recently move to? looks like a nice work place.
360 controllers everywhere.
yeah, that map can certainly be from something like Alan Wake. mountains and stuff
I used to picture Remedy as a 50 person small studio, here looks like they have mocap, all kind of sound recording and everything in house? o_o

That mapeditor. Could be AW2
Looks like it's from their making of video, but who knows
Nice video, I would love to work for a company like Remedy.
edit: 0:39 - blurred sreen. *enhance.
edit2: closing with the Alan Wake remedy logo. (I am desperate...)

How many are they now? Weren't they like 50 when they did Alan Wake?
They were around 32 when AW started development and around 45 when they finished I think.

Ah cool.
Also, the car dropping very much looks like one of those Taken poltergeists' work.
Remedy sauce even in their pr videos, astonishing.

AW on a new hardware will be sex.
The pc version is so good it's unfair. In 3D it's unbelievable.
Bring it on, Remedy.
And while you're at it, add Oculus Rift support on the old pc version, thanks.

Isn't oculus rift meant for first person games only?

Not really.
It could very well work with 3rd person games. Head tracking could be tricky, but still I don't see why it can't work.
Remedy moved to that building in the beginning of AW's development, they were pretty proud of having an in-house mocap studio back then.Is that their new building they recently move to? looks like a nice work place.

Color me excited. I loved Alan Wake. I was on a Twin Praks watching marathon when it came out and it fit so well.

I stopped playing the first one because it wasnt doing anything for me. The combat was a pain in the ass. The narration was horrible.
So does it get better? Does it open up at any point? I was just being told to go somewhere, watch a cutscene, go somewhere else, watch a cutscene, and fight annoying enemies with a torch along the way.

Have you witnessed daylight? Been into a town? How far are you into it? It's not an open world game, but it does "open up" when you're driving around.
I never felt like "watch a cutscene, go somewhere else, watch a cutscene", can you point out those segments? Maybe I just need to be reminded because I remember most of the storytelling to be in-game or to be at the end of levels.

I loved both games. I can see people being annoyed at American Nightmare's repetition but it wasn't a sequel so much as a side story. To me, American Nightmare's true worth was in seeing how much they improved the combat. If they use that system (or a further improved one) in addition to a new full fledged story ala AW1 then AW2 is a certain buy for me.
Though I hope they don't time delay the PC version. Especially if the goal is for a release on the next Xbox.
Edit: Also.. there was This site that seemed like a little bit of ARG story to perhaps set up the sequel? It was original linked in Twitter by one of the Remedy devs.

If they release in 2013 they should start showing footage early. . . that'll get ppl riled up.
AW2 is a next-gen game, I don't see the PC version (if there is one) releasing alongside the 720 version. Probably a bit later.

You're going to make me cry. Manly gaming man man-tears. But tears nonetheless.

I'm not really an Alan Wake fan. I wish Remedy went back to something like Max Payne.

Agreed, it all felt very organic to me. I wouldn't say it gets better, since it doesn't really change all that much, but I found it amazing from the get-go.
God, I love Remedy.
This is Remedy, they won't do that.
edit: about the map editor, that could very well be for AW1, but those tools surely evolve over time.

remedy got significantly bigger (as a team), production costs are much higher and ms is the publisher/pays the bills.
i am just a bit pessimistic after dead space 3, tomb raider and so on.
I know what you mean, but they don't pay them to make a dull game, they pay them to make Alan Wake
I am optimistic about it.
MS will need exclusives at the beginning of the generation and AW2 is a serious option for that. Still, a PC version is likely but not published by MS (cf Alan Wake one) and frankly I can't see MS allowing them to release it near the 720 launch window. 3-6 months later probably.

lets hope for the best. i hope we get some glimpses/teasers soon.
It will be a quantum leap according to Remedy themselves.
A quantum leap compared to 2005 hardware...I'm not sure what I'm supposed to make out of that but I'm optimistic by nature.

so it'll finally be running @ 720p? ;p
