Control was a dumpster fire. Worst Remedy game.

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 died

Alan Wake Remastered was leaked recently through a retailer listing and it has been rumored to be announced next week.
Alan Wake fans should be excited to know that a remaster of the game is in development. It was leaked through a Taiwanese retailer with a date of October 5. We have some new information to share on this, courtesy of our own source.
- Alan Wake Remastered will use the Northlight Engine by Remedy Entertainment, previously used in Control.
- The game supports ray-tracing for reflections on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC, but not on last-generation consoles.
- There is no Nintendo Switch version. While we haven’t heard from our source about it, maybe a Cloud version can happen like Control.
- Last-generation consoles will benefit from higher resolution and QoL changes but no ray-tracing.
- The remaster will support 60 FPS.
Alan Wake Remastered will be announced next week according to analyst Daniel Ahmed. Nintendo is also rumored to host a Nintendo Direct on September 8th.
7th September 2021 <br> Announcing Alan Wake Remastered: An Open Letter from Sam Lake
This is for you. I’m beyond happy to tell you that at the time of writing this, Alan Wake Remastered is nearing its completion. Confirmed, a...
I REALLY hope this does come out as soon as October 5th (or sooner). If there's a fancy physical version, I'll be tempted to pick it up to put it on a shelf as a display. This is one of my favorite games of all time.
Looks like it's $30 USD if you use their preorder link. I'll be happy to buy it, but hoping GamePass grabs it for old time's sake!
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. Also appears to have a bunch of arbitrary changes when you check the side by side comparison pictures on their site. Many, particularly trees and foliage, look like a downgrade to me.
I went from being insanely hyped for this to being mildly disappointed.

No HDR support is crazy at this point.

Wait, 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 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
It looks good enough. Remedy know it's not going to sell 5m+ so they aren't going to spend fortunes on it and they haven't been backed by a big publisher for it.
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.
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.
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 resolution
I know I have told DriedMangoes that I refused to buy any remakes/remasters of games that I have already played. And I never have. But this will be my first (and hopefully last). Alan Wake is one of my top 5 all time games, ever.
