I think its about that time for the sequel to be announced. especially since quantum break is pretty much ready for launch this year. and xbox gamers have been requesting it for some time now.

TheCommentator3014d ago

Agreed. They had some really cool concepts in Alan Wake and it was a great first outing I loved pplaying through. Just like some other franchises start off a bit rough, like Assasin's Creed, the potential for A. Wake 2 is significant.

Khaotic3014d ago

You never know with remedy. They know there are alot of people that want alan wake 2 but they like making new ips. I dont care either way i trust them to bring a good experience.

Paytaa3014d ago

Very true. Sam Lake did blatantly confirm Alan Wake 2 though.

AngelicIceDiamond3014d ago

Alan Wake 2 but don't be surprised if its something totally new.

jb2273014d ago

Hoping for a multiplat release from them for the next game. Remedy owns the Alan Wake ip don't they? I know that MS owns Quantum Break but I haven't played a Remedy game since Max Payne...love their work and would love to have a shot at their next game if they could keep their quality levels up for a multiplat I see no reason why they shouldn't test the waters out.

Either way I can't wait to hear word on QB...that game is the one that will push me to grab an XBO if it turns out as good as it is sounding...then hopefully Alan Wake will be BC compatible then and I can finally check that game out.

I would love for Remedy to try their hand at another Max Payne.

-Foxtrot3014d ago

Yeah...but if they do it has to be Max Payne 3 and ignore Rockstars

Good game but it wasn't Max Payne at all.

The majority of stuff which made the game Max Payne was gone in Max Payne 3.

Atmosphere, the setting, location, the designs (excluding flashbacks), the music, Mona and the like were gone.

Kyosuke_Sanada3014d ago (Edited 3014d ago )

I wholeheartedly agree, the gameplay was impressive however the story was disappointing and they tried way too hard to make Max Payne edgy. My angriest moment was when how they wrote off Mona as just a "fling" after everything that happened. I really hope the series gets the ending it truly deserves someday.

Also Rute, I already know that Rockstar has the rights but it doesn't hurt to dream a little. :]

Paytaa3014d ago

Yeah Max Payne 3 didn't give the noir and atmospheric experience the first 2 did. Probably because Remedy just develops games differently than Rockstar.

Max Payne was one of my favorite games on the original Xbox.

-Foxtrot3014d ago

@Kyosuke_Sanada

I know right.

It feels Rockstar were making a new IP set in Brazil and thought "Shit, we've got Max Payne 3....I KNOW lets just turn this new IP into Max Payne and add flashback parts so it feels more like the old game"

Youngindy213014d ago

Max Payne 3 was a good game. You guys are idiots. NOT EVERY GAME has to be exactly like it's predecessors. That's the problem with gamers. Stop complaining every time a developer decides to switch things up, esp. when the product turns out as good as Max Payne 3.

You guys are like, it's not dark like the other ones. WHO GIVES A SH_T. Is the game any good? That is the only thing that should matter. I don't know why you guys want the same games over and over anyway.

-Foxtrot3014d ago (Edited 3014d ago )

"Max Payne 3 was a good game"

No one is saying it wasn't...it was a shit Max Payne game

"NOT EVERY GAME has to be exactly like it's predecessors"

Urm...yeah it does when it comes to style, tone, themes, characters development etc

Max Payne 3 felt like a new game, not a sequel.

If you are fine with this happening to franchises then you are part of the problem of why developers don't risk more new IPs these days but change franchises into something they aren't.

"WHO GIVES A S***"

Us..actual bloody fans who fell in love with a series because of what made the game so special.

Rute3014d ago

I think that's not going to happen as Rockstar owns the rights to the Max payne franchise these days.

Kribwalker3014d ago

Been waiting years for Alan wake 2

AudioEppa3014d ago (Edited 3014d ago )

Now you gotta wonder, is this new AAA already contracted under Microsoft, or, will Sony's platform be graced with its presence.

I'll give them credit, they do make interesting looking games, but with that with regard, they're not interesting enough to buy another system for, so I welcome any game from them on PS4.

Hope they have much success with Quantum Break this year.

Edit: 9+ gamers don't want QB to have success it seems, that's unfortunate.

KiwiViper853014d ago

Or they think a remedy game is worth buying a console for... maybe?

but continue on your fanboy ways

AudioEppa3014d ago

I guess they forgot how to post a comment..

Some people would lose their mind if websites got rid of the disagree button LMAO

ScorpiusX3014d ago

They want QB to be an amazing hit

Its this part that they don't want to ever see happen as long that Remedy & MS are partners ........

will Sony's platform be graced with its presence.

Personally i agree with those gamers...

Gamer buys 4,000 copies of Alan Wake, none of them work

Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran88d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto7d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia8d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger7d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie7d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos7d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie7d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh7d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

Alan Wake 2 Benchmark & PC Optimized Settings

With path-traced diffuse lighting and reflections even the mighty RTX 4090 can't hit 60 FPS at 4K without frame generation.

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

isarai29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

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

toxic-inferno28d ago

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.
