Alan Wake: masterpiece

Alan Wake Remaster: same masterpiece game but Alan has a weird face and the screen space reflections don't look placed properly compared to the original planar reflections

Quantum Break: brilliant game, I don't care what anyone thinks.

Control: brilliant game. Only half way through. Can't wait to see what else this game throws as me, DLC included.

I'm glad they announced it, but I would have prefered at least an in-engine trailer, especially considering the game should come out in less than two full years (my prediction is end of October 2023, just in time for Halloween). I am cautiously optimistic for the new trailer next summer.

Good that there will be Alan Wake 2 but I'm not sure if I want it to be survival horror. I liked how the first game had horror elements but it wasn't very scary. I don't remember many jump scares.

Alan Wake 2 announced, releasing in 2023

Announced at The Game Awards, Remedy Entertainment is now working on the sequel to their 2010 horror thriller.
www.cnet.com www.cnet.com

So Sam Lake has said the game is going to be more of a Survival Horror game than the first game.

Man I hope that means a nonlinear level design with key items/exploration is on the table. If it plays like a combination of the first game and a classic RE/SH game I’ll be very happy.

. . .as opposed to the first one? I mean the first one was for sure campy as all hell, but it definitely had a touch of survival horror to it.

This is amazing news. I loved, and still love, Alan Wake. Got the remaster (despite feeling it was a bit unnecessary) and played it to the end. I'm excited for a scarier Alan Wake. The original had an amazing atmosphere but it wasn't really scary. I wonder if Barry can do comeback if the game is much darker, though...

I've lost count of how many PC games I've had to pass on because of EGS. It goes like this:

1. Oh, new PC game that looks great!
2. Shit EGS exclusive
3. Is it on Game Pass? Yes = Yay. No = Well, I suppose I'll be waiting 3/6/9/12 months to buy it on Steam

This one might never come to Steam. Epic is publishing it.

Remedy with current gen hardware making AW2, got a feeling this game will take some beating in the visual department.

Alan Wake 2 Will Be the ‘Most Beautiful Remedy Game Ever' - IGN

Remedy's Sam Lake promises Alan Wake 2 will be the most beautiful Remedy game ever made thanks to Northlight.
www.ign.com www.ign.com
For years Remedy has been developing games on a proprietary game engine called Northlight. And Remedy creative director Sam Lake says that Alan Wake 2 will set a new bar for Remedy in terms of visual quality.

“Alan Wake 2 will, by far, be the best-looking, most beautiful Remedy game ever,” Lake says during a sit-down interview with IGN (which you can watch below). Given that Northlight is the engine powering graphically-rich games like Control and Quantum Break, this is a bold and exciting claim. IGN asked if the partnership between Remedy and Epic Games on Alan Wake 2, where Epic Games is publishing the title, means the Alan Wake sequel could be developed on Epic’s Unreal Engine 5. But Lake says that it’s sticking with Northlight because it has tech best-suited for the experience Remedy is trying to create for the next Alan Wake game.

“[Alan Wake 2] is on Northlight. We feel that especially for this kind of experience where atmosphere and stylization are more important than ever before, is that we know Northlight so well we can focus on certain things and push certain things forward.” The Northlight engine was designed to push forward storytelling elements Remedy Entertainment favors when developing games. This includes an emphasis on cinematic realism, photorealistic characters, large-scale destruction and physics, and more. Alongside Alan Wake 2, Northlight is being used for the upcoming CrossfireX story campaign which Remedy is developing for Smilegate.

Alan Wake 2 was officially announced at The Game Awards as Remedy’s first-ever survival-horror game. And Lake says that Remedy is taking advantage of the creative freedom to design a truly scary game.

Or Bradley Cooper if you ignore the hair colour.

Still need to play that original, good time for it I guess. Is it good on PS5, performance and IQ-wise? Or should I stick with PC?

The first one was a pretty big let down in my opinion but still the universe was interesting, and I think Remedy has progressed immensely as a game dev since, so I am really eager to learn more about AW2

Wow this is the first am hearing about the seq2. Totally missed the announcement. I loved the atmosphere and storyline in Alan Wake. I hope they improve the gameplay.

Idk, unless Control (which I’m playing right now) has a part where an Asian chick dies and her soul gets trapped in a dresser drawer knob, I don’t really see it. Their games seem more Stephen King/ Xfiles to me.

Overlook hotel, the maze, the narrative style and presentation as well as the written lore and stories you find in the game are lynchian af. Maybe it's just me.

I have written a detailed summary but it's in greek, if I find time I may state my observations.
