They had better not be Raidening us with this. I've not waited a decade to not play as Alan.

It's two stories. Maybe equal in length. It's not Raidening if they announce the characters you play as i guess.

The lighting is great, nice spooky vibe. Enjoyed the first on 360 so looking forward to this.

It's the beginning of the end of Physical games.

This actually kills my hype a bit. Digital only and there's no Steam version. You either fully commit to a digital PS5 version which you can't sell later, or you support Epic's dogshit storefront. What a choice...

I don't know... I'm a huge Remedy fan and got excited seeing Sam in it, but...it looks so... I don't know. It doesn't carry the same haunting tone of the original, and the graphics look a bit...dated. Is it me, or does Quantum Break look better than Alan Wake II?
I'm sure the story is going to be epic though, as is always the case with Sam's writing.

so Alan isn't actually playable, that's interesting
seems like Agent Anderson is the playable protagonist while Alan is still obviously the central, most important/titular character?

I'm guessing same way some RE games you play as multiple characters though out the story.
Edit: Also nice to see we getting more creepy looking enemies instead of just normal people and objects covered in shadow like in original game.

So not having a physical version kills hype for a video game? Not having a physical version someohow degrades gameplay or changes the mechanics of the game or makes the visuals looks worse? This has to be a joke right?
And you giving money to Epic somehow makes the game worse?
Wow.

Where did I say anything about it degrading gameplay or visuals?
I buy everything physical where I can on PS5. If I was to buy a game on PC, where physical all but doesn't exist any more, it needs to be on Steam at the very least. A huge number of people hold that viewpoint.
I said a couple of posts above that it was the best game at the show. But as a consumer, the game is not going to be available in either of the avenues that I usually buy games.
Of course that's going to affect hype.
When you put it that way:
Fuck Epic Games and fuck their Chinese money.

You literally see gameplay where you play as Alan. Probably split 50/50.

So hype is deflated because it's only available in a certain store and missing a physical release? And why do you give a shit if Epic Games gets or doesn't get money? How does that affect you and your enjoyment of the game? THE GAME IS STILL THE SAME regardless of where its available and who gives the money to Epic. LOL. No offense, but this is some amusing mental gymnastics. The fact that you let a company dictate your enjoyment of a game is kind of insane.Where did I say anything about it degrading gameplay or visuals?

You do realize that people have boycotted doing business with companies they don't like for decades, right?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Xbox pre order page has details about the story
Weird that they're calling the FBI, not FBC.
I thought Control would have more influence on this game.

Graphics look great, worried about the scale of the game, as it’s digital only, surly if this is a full fledged AAA game, they are going to miss out on a large number of sales, going digital only.

What a shame, no physical no buy. Hopefully it drops on PS+ after a year or so.

Yes, which is very dumb at the end of the day. It accomplishes nothing and the companies still get money from others. I had a friend who refused to pay an extra $10 dollars or something to get a PS5 at Walmart because he did not want them to have the extra $10 when he could have finally had the PS5 during the shortage. It's just childish and silly and the whole "it's the principle" excuse doesn't make sense to me imo.
The person boycotting is the one who ends up suffering in the end anyways. Look at what happened with Hogwarts Legacy, what a great boycott that was for them. Sure damaged their finances!

Both Xbox and PS versions of Alan Wake 1 Remastered (incl. DLC episodes) are currently on sale for only $12.
Excellent price to jump in for new folks who saw and liked this trailer.

If Alan is the one influencing the outside world with his writing it makes sense, he wouldn't really know about the FBC so he'd write in that someone from the FBI comes down to investigate.

That's a great point.
