EG: " As the title intimates, the story ends with question marks lingering over the nature of Wake's experience. But even if it really is his nightmare, our troubled writer is arguably better company asleep than awake."
Welcome back Link Cable Gaming fans, by far one of my favourite surprises of the Game Awards was the surprise announcement of Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake developed by Remedy Entertainment, and released in May 2010 on the Xbox 360, Alan Wake 2 will finally be brought back. While we were treated just this year to the surprise Alan Wake Remastered earlier in October 2021, or Alan Wake’s American Nightmare in February 2012, fans never got a true sequel. What will the future of the Alan Wake franchise look like?
Perfect! a sequel that will remind me of the smell of mildew and damp coffee grounds with a side of deadly premonition.
Where else would the franchise go? Seems like a sure thing. American Nightmare should be in the remake though.
You know I was thinking alternatives right?
For all it could have been, you know how the sequel market is sometimes, weird spin - offs, spiritual successors, reimagining, a VR walking simulator (bleh) and all that.
I like the idea of an evolved sequel way more
Epic Games Store is giving away two free games this week. Alan Wake’s American Nightmare and Observer are free until October 24. Once you claim them, you get to keep them.
Epic Games has announced that Surviving Mars is currently free on its store. As such, PC gamers can acquire their free copy today, and until October 17th, by visiting its Epic Games Store page.
I love Alan Wake. Good Atmosphere. Thought it was one of the BEST exclusives on the 360 to date. Can't wait for this one. I suspect it will be far better then what Eurogamer gives it credit for.
Review reads like an 8 or 9. Sounds good.
The full Alan Wake game was given a 7 by Eurogamer also, for what its worth.
