Talks are underway between Microsoft and Remedy Entertainment to bring the original Alan Wake to the Xbox One, Remedy's chief creative officer Sam Lake told Polygon.
"I would love that to happen," Lake said. "Nothing has happened yet, but we are discussing this possibility with Microsoft.
ScribbleCat said: Media is certainly no stranger to connecting all their properties together. Comic books have been doing this for generations, and TV is also known for special crossover episodes, which confirm the notion that they take place in the same fictional world. Video games, which can be barely called a new medium at this point, also have some interesting overlaps with connecting different games. For example, Valve’s Portal and Half-Life show how subtle hints can give players more theories to chew on. Old classics like DOOM and Wolfenstein also share similarities. But my favorite connection between games is the Remedy Connected Universe. While only a connection between Alan Wake and Control have been confirmed, there is SO much more to explore with Remedy’s crazy take on this old formula. And, according to Sam Lake, this is only the beginning.
They really should release the full Quantum Break experience on the PS5. Sure, it's a middle-of-the-road third-person shooter and a perfect example of self-indulgence, but why not? It was fun in short burst and it completes the Remedy set until Max Payne 1+2 Remakes get released later on.
Do it, Microsawft. Don't be cowards.
Remedy says there's always a big challenge trying to match creative ambition with realistic budgets, and how many units you can sell.
I wish they had released a Steam version on launch. I feel that should have been part of their focus right away from announcing the game.
Would have made up alot of ground had they have released a physical version at the same time as the digital release.
I think thats where it bit them in the bum to be honest.
Weren't they whining over not breaking even a few weeks ago? No all-of-a-sudden they're talking about overspending on the budget?
Remedy Entertainment has announced that Alan Wake 2 has finally recouped its development costs and has been profitable since the end of 2024.
Should have been a physical release as well at launch. That would have changed the numbers. Hopefully they and others learn from this digital is great but so many out there like physical too.
Yup. I'd like to know how many physical copies it sold. I still haven't bought it yet, but I plan to.
I bought it right away but I’m sure it recieved less sales than it would have. I the end I’d rather wait to have dlc and game on disc, but you never know if that’s going to happen or not.
Next Alan Wake will come to PS4, I doubt though for Wii U release.
If they actually want to sell their game they'd release it on PS4.
My favorite game on the 360! Loved the story, gameplay and the awesome soundtrack, was really disappointing that most of xbox owners were all over Halo\Gears at the time... This game deserves more attention\sales than it got.
Nah Remedy is THE best 2nd party MS has imo. I think Phil will give AW2 the green light, providing they increase their productivity. 5 years a game is a tough sell for any publisher unless its GTA.
That would be so good, I have it on steam such an awesome game. Bring it back to Xbox Microsoft, do the smart thing!
I'll never forget when I played it on 360 in 2010, blew me away back then, so moody and atmospheric-still makes me jump now haha.
