They also worked on American Nightmare as well.

Maybe I'm alone in this, but I would actually prefer to see them on something entirely new, as I respect Remedy as a developer but the love for Alan Wake never clicked for me.
Regardless, even if it's a new Alan Wake game, I'd like it to be closer to the original vision for the first one: some sort of open world survival horror/adventure game, instead of a linear third person shooter with the flashlight.

that was just a very small team. the game started as a combat test demo, which evolved to american nightmare.
Bit of truth to that unfortunately =(
Glad they are making a second one, really enjoyed the 1st game and american nightmare, dont know what it was but there was something I really like about american nightmare.

Just finished the original. Wtf at the ending ? DLC worth something ? are they epilogues are separate story line ?
AA is stand alone, worth it ?

Nope I prefer them to do something new too as the AW1 that we got was extremely sub par and very boring. Maybe the original version would have been better but they had their shot to sell me on the series and failed so hopefully they do something new.
After the first encounters, I could predict almost every enemy that appeared. As well as other stuff. So I lost interest quite fast.

DLC are continuing the story [1st one is very combat oriented, 2nd one has more story]. AA also continues the story.

American Nightmare was pretty good. I'd play another.

I enjoyed the DLC a lot: The Signal is good, The Writer is phenomenal.
They pick up right where the ending left off, but... things are different.
American Nightmare is fantastic as well: The combat still has the same solid core, but is much more varied. The story is pretty neat too; Mr. Scratch is what makes it.
The new tracks by the "Old Gods" are awesome as well.

I should bite the bullet and get the first game on PC, I was waiting to see if it would ever be on PS3, but Remedy pretty much says no way would it ever be.
Ideally this, but I'm perfectly happy with Alan Wake 2 or something new too.

I love Remedy so this news interests me greatly.
I just hope that they skip the platform exclusivity nonsense.
Alan Wake ended up being a 360 exclusive, and here's the public reasoning made at that time:
Thankfully it came to PC later.

Looking forward to it. It took 2 tries to get into Alan Wake but I was completely pulled in on my second attempt. Let's just hope they can release the PC version out of the gate.

Actually, it originally started as a PC game and it was supposed to be the first game showing off what multicore processors were capable of.
Then Microsoft came in and moneyhatted the game into an Xbox exclusive.
Also, as I already said in my previous post, the game was originally described as a mix of open world survival+adventure game. Some sort of "Gabriel Knight 3 meets third person action games".
Then ambitions were vastly scaled down when they realized the hardware wasn't on par with their vision (but the PR statement was more like "We realized strong narrative needs more focus so now the game will be more linear").
if its really a nextgen launch title, there wont be a pc version at the same time. but alan wake is remedys ip, so there will be a pc version later.
fixed.

I would love Alan Wake 2. Loved the first one but i hope they don`t make it as crazy as the two download episodes. I really prefered the more grounded feel from the main game.
That being that, i would lose all my interest if this is a current gen game, but i think "finally" is a very clear indicator that they had to wait until next gen got the green light from MS.

Right, they fucked Remedy up the ass by sticking with them through the agonizingly long development process, funding a promo live action mini-series (only to be totally screwed when Rockstar decided to push the RDR release date forward), letting them release the game on PC not long after its initial Xbox 360 release, and making it a part of the holiday console bundle. Besides, Remedy themselves said that they couldn't handle multiple versions at the same time, being a small team, and the game wouldn't get even that much exposure (not to mention Micorosft's funding) by launching as a PC-only title. They stuck with Microsoft for American Nightmare, so it doesn't seem like they feel they've been "fucked up the ass" after all.
You know, being a huge Max Payne fan, I expected Alan Wake to be good, but I didn't expect it to be that good. GotG for me so far (granted, I still have plenty of current gen games to play).

NAO!
they better make something new instead, Alan Wake got ridiculous, don't care about it and the character itself isn't interesting. Mr. Scratch was actually good though. I very much prefer to see a new IP, seems to be a better idea for financial success for Remedy than a AW sequel could.
Of course having both would be best, problem is Remedy is/was? pretty small. They've been hiring this year and now are moving to a new bigger building, maybe they have two teams now.

Nah thats Alan Wake 1, Alan Wake 2 will be Max Payne 4.

I know that it started out as a computer game (much like Halo!) before the moneyhats or whatever happened. I remember the tech demo videos showing off the multicore processor stuff. Didn't it feature a tornado or something?
people forget that only 20-25 people at remedy worked on alan wake 1 (plus the studio that handled the cutscenes). of course they couldnt handle 2 versions at the same time.

Don't they have a viral site going for Alan Wake 2 (or at least something AW related)? A Wordpress blog or something.
