I agree, it had a lot of map issues and difficulty spikes. However I did have a blast with Control after I turned on God mode. I really like that you still gained and lost health because it felt less like cheating and you still know where you would have diedControl was a dumpster fire. Worst Remedy game.

Does Alan Wake Remastered support ray tracing / HDR?
No.
As this is a remaster built on the existing Alan Wake engine and technology, adding in ray tracing / HDR support was deemed too time-consuming. This would have taken resources away from other critical areas.
We are confident the game looks great even without ray tracing / HDR support.

Not thrilled with some of this info. Seems like more of an upgrade to the PC version than a remaster. No HDR, no raytracing, appears to have a bunch of arbitrary changes when you check the side by side pictures on the site. Trees and foliage look like an artistic downgrade to me. No HDR support is crazy at this point.
I went from being insanely hyped for this to being mildly disappointed.

"Parity"Not thrilled with some of this info. Seems like the type of upgrade we should have received last gen. No HDR, no raytracing, and the game is actually rendering at 1440p and upscaling to 4K.
I saw that on neogaf a while back but don't remember where it originated from. It's a game that didn't sell all that well so I don't think people should have expected them to do a full on remake or anything. This looks like they've still done a decent job, I'll give it a shot and I'm glad my first time playing it and as has been the case with a few remasters/remakes over the past few years I'll be glad that my first time with it wasn't on the 360 or PS3Wait, I thought the Remastered version is running on a new engine featuring Ray-tracing
For what is a remaster and not a remake they seem to be doing a decent job here.
I never played the original but the remaster clearly looks better IMO especially the textures and faces, there is one shot where the lighting is odd on the guys face and his eyeline is lit up well but everything else is dark but in the old version his entire face is too bright for the scene.I might be alone in this, but I prefer the original look.
Don't get me wrong. I'm happy to see Alan Wake back. Hopefully, it paves a way for a new game.
Yeah it looks like some odd artistic choices with the graphics/lighting at times. I’m hoping picture quality gives off a wow factor with the increased FPS and resolutionI never played the original but the remaster clearly looks better IMO especially the textures and faces, there is one shot where the lighting is odd on the guys face and his eyeline is lit up well but everything else is dark but in the old version his entire face is too bright for the scene.
