You would be boosting a 540p game to 60fps assuming they can even figure out how to boost 360 games. This game actually needs a remaster.
it needs a remake, especially on textures, model level of detail, and to take advantage of ray tracing.

There's something about this game that just didn't click with me. Which is unfortunate, as I really wanted to like the game as the atmosphere is great.
If there's a free PC update, I'll probably try it out, but if not I don't see the point of paying for it when it's been free or cheap for a long time now. Unless of course there's ray tracing, graphics have been overhauled, etc. (i.e. a remaster on par with the quality of Saints Row 3 remaster).

I loved it when it came out on the 360....but playing it now on Series X via BC it is just way too low resolution....so while we don't have details, I am hoping for Native 4k/60fps. I also agree with others that a full remake would be preferred, but with Covid and all the other shit, I think that is way too much that Remedy would want to invest into. Still looking forward to this...love this game.

Yeah, I've played it several times. I'm fine with the image produced by the temporal reconstruction in Alan Wake.

I really liked the premise of the game.
The gameplay was some of the worst ever though.

That’s actually a really good point.Remaster? I hoped for a remake
Remasters dont do much for a PC.

Ehh I disagree. I think Control was a ton of fun and I liked the protagonist.

I've somehow never played this before. Count me in. Hopefully it's a precursor to the many times asked for sequel.

Nice! I own the backward compatible version in series x, but i dont feel like playing that game at 540p 30 fps. Great game though, one of my faves on the 360

Playing this in 1080p 60fps after initially playing through it on 360 was a revolution at the time (2013 was when I built my first PC). I would play it all over again with a 4K facelift and remastered textures.

Is Remedy doing the remaster or was it contracted out to someone else? (Remaster companies can be hit or miss)

Cool and creepy atmosphere, and it had a different idea for a game. But as I recall, the gameplay was kind of tedious and often frustrating to me, with some bad boss fights and some super annoying birds for example.
Would be interesting to try it again though to see if I'd enjoy the gameplay more today.

I agree completely.
For the time, the graphics were very good. But gameplay and combat was bad.
It also had a decent atmosphere to it.
I didn't find the story particularly engaging.
I never managed to finish it.

Finally!
Been watching Twin Peaks with my partner as we do almost every autumn, so October will be perfect for this.

I think it's 100% certain they are doing Alan Wake 2 but not sure we will see it this coming week. Hope I'm wrong though!

It's shockingly not terrible considering how low that resolution actually is .

I hope the October date is real. Haven’t played this since 2011, really looking forward to going through it again.

Wonder if this’ll be on GamePass. Have the original sat in my library.

Wouldn’t this work with smart delivery?
If the publisher makes it in a sub-product in the current xbox sku, I don't think they will in this case.

Always been interested to play this! Will definitely pick up a PS5 version.

Bought the game for less than $1 a few months and barely touched it.
Is it really that good?

For $1 why don’t you see for yourself instead of being loaded with mixed opinions on here?

I’ll wishlist it and wait for a sale.
Never had a high opinion of the original game, but I appreciate its existence and would be open to a return by Remedy given how good Control turned out.
An X-Files like paranormal survival horror set in the PNW? I can only get so erect.
