The allegedly viral blog for the next game Alan Wake series has a new update today, which could be confirmed even on the Alan Wake 2 and also some parts of its plot.
With path-traced diffuse lighting and reflections even the mighty RTX 4090 can't hit 60 FPS at 4K without frame generation.
Alan Wake 2 is set in 2023, yet in Bright Falls and the Dark Place, there's a recurring element that feels somewhat anachronistic.
A haunted 4k OLED doesn't quite hit the same. Analog horror is a genre for a reason, they matry much better than digital and horror. Like which sounds better, a haunted VHS or a haunted PDF
You're spot on. Plus, having old technology is world-building. It immediately makes you question (even subconsciously) why an old television still exists there. It adds character and background in a subtle way. It is unsettling for the player, and attracts their attention in the best possible way because something about it isn't right.
Remedy revealed that Alan Wake 2 has recouped most of the investment made by Epic. They also talked about more regular sequels for their IPs.
Damn. I was hoping this would happen faster. Control were both fantastic, albeit flawed. Hoping for more. I know he said they are planning sequels, but its hard to get investors and publishers on board when they don't see quick returns.
For how much people talk about this title you would think it was a much bigger success. Popularity doesn't equal quality and vice versa tho
Nothing "alleged" about it. Sam Lake has quoted the blog before.
That would be great if they announce Alan Wake 2.
Going to be announced as an Xbox 720 launch game in my opinion. Cannot wait until next years E3, maybe it will get the terrible taste out of my mouth from this past E3 (Aside from Ubisoft).
Patiently waiting for Alan Wake 2......
Despite the seemingly poor PC optimization (I have a high-end PC, yet can't hit 60 frames on medium settings?), the game was very much a good game. I'd love to see a sequel.
