Hyped, looks awesome.

 

[Kvally]

Was let down. Needs Alan 100% of the time. No Barry shown. Graphics were meh.

Let’s hope it plays out better than what was shown. Alan Wake 1 was/is the King of Remedy.

4K version of the trailer from Remedy.

THIS GAME IS A MONSTER, AND IT’S COMING FOR YOU! — Alan Wake

Finally! Finally, we can start telling you what we have been creating. Finally, we can start showing what we have dreamed up. It has been a long time coming. I feel I’ve been making Alan Wake 2 for the last 13 years, ever since the first game came out in 2010. We always planned to […]

What changed your mind? lol

All my games are digital now, so I have no problem with this. The price being $50 is a bonus. $60 for consoles is good too.

PC being $10 cheaper than console versions for no reason at all though

Well they do get all the royalties from PC while having to give a percentage to MS/Sony.

 

[The Wolf King]

Digital only sucks but think this is still a lucky it's finally getting made type deal.

Graphically looks unimpressive imo, the trailers and actual gameplay graphics for Control (and even QB) looks better.

I think it looks pretty average overall, it's not bad but it's nothing special either. I have to disagree about control, this game looks like a step up from that but control wasn't a very good looking game either. I still think this is one of the most overrated devs in modern gaming.

"The Alan Wake 2 trailer in the PlayStation Showcase was 100% running on PlayStation 5. I want to really point that out. We did say in 2021 that we are gonna push the graphics hard on this one. I think we'll have the best looking game in 2023"

Based on that trailer, it's already behind a ton of games out now. Unless they are surprising us with a PC or Xbox version that looks leagues better (which they won't).

Alan Wake was so awesome. I can't NOT play more Alan Wake. I just hope they are showing us Barry later.

I ordered the Deluxe Edition.

[The Wolf King]

Looks mostly fine IMO. The town shots look like they just have the original a touch up but character models look fine.

Hard to really tell with it being mostly fast cuts.
My main hope is we spend more time playing as Wake than the cop.

 

[Kvally]

My main hope is we spend more time playing as Wake than the cop.

Agreed. If that isn't the case, it will lose points for my review.

 

[The Wolf King]

Noticed Sam lakes character has Max Paynes voice....

[Kvally]

Still no confirmation of Barry.

Remedy is a great dev and I hope it gets to be a worthy sequel to one of the most underrated games of the 360 era, game got cult status down the line but didn't get the praise it should've at release imo.

 

[PermanentSelfBan]

Digital only, sweet. Soon this will be the norm.

 

[Kvally]

I only buy vinyl records now. Bring back physical games.
