Alan Wake 2 to use Windows Phone 7?

EG: The way Remedy's talking, Alan Wake 2 could have some nifty Windows Phone 7 crossover going on.That's assuming of course that the studio's next big console project is Alan Wake 2, and that Microsoft dictates that Windows Phone 7 be used and not iPhone.

I am happy to hear that they are making a second Alan Wake. I still need to finish playing the first one!

There have been a few other games with console-portable connectivity but just not at the ratio I would expect. I actually like it if there is some special interaction between the console version of a game and its handheld counterpart.

More games need the type of link like windwaker had with the gba and resistance for the psp had with the ps3. Those are just a couple but I wish there really were more.

DS and wii were supposed to get cross play games or at least be able to unlock bonus stuff in one from having played the other. If MS is making AW2 and will have some type of link up to a WP7 then count me in. Need to get a WP7 first.

no indication of a ps3 version looks like it will go alongside my 360 collection along with the first, such a good game with a looping ending twist

I enjoyed the game, but it's not exactly associated with success is it, at least from a commercial standpoint. If Microsoft are willing to give Remedy a second chance on the series though, that's good I guess.

Can't help but wish Remedy would buy the rights to Max Payne back from Rockstar though, and give us the proper third game we all crave.

Thats what I thought... :/

Still. A sequel would bring so much joy.

One more achievement to get argggg

Kran4851d ago

which one is that? I have all 1500G :D

The second round of dlc achievements drove me crazy, the one where you couldn't die- It would come to the jumping from Household appliances part and I just couldn't make it through without falling into the abyss. Eventually got it though.

TheCagyDies4850d ago

This is the achievement that I am taking about.

One Alan Wake 2 Detail Sticks Out Like a Sore Thumb

Alan Wake 2 is set in 2023, yet in Bright Falls and the Dark Place, there's a recurring element that feels somewhat anachronistic.

The thing that sticks out for me is no physical copy still

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.

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.

Friendlygamer33d ago (Edited 33d ago )

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

ravens5233d ago

Are they gonna keep their head up their ass and continue with the digital only bs

Jingsing33d ago

Probably, They've always been a greedy studio to the point of making bad decisions and losing money.
