‘Alan Wake: The Signal’ adds some much-needed clarity for the main game

The 90-minute DLC continues immediately after where the main game ends, offering a chance to beef up that abrupt “conclusion”

Whatever happen to Remedy? Are they still an independent developer

NovusTerminus2357d ago

Yes, after Alan Wake they moved on to launch Quantum Break, and currently are working on a new game with no systems announced for it.

They went multiplatform so as a PlayStation 4 owner I'm looking forward to what they bring out.

@solidsnake while you are entitled to your opinion, Alan wake was one of the best games of last gen.

DrumBeat2356d ago

Maybe it's just a physical game they play in the studio. Like tag or hide and seek.

should be an opinion piece as this dlc came out like 7 years ago

DeadManMMX2357d ago

The Signal and The Writer don't just offer clarity they are the continuation and true ending of the game. I love that game but I'm not a fan of the practice of DLC conclusions. This game, Dead Space 3, Dead Rising 4 others I can't quite remember.

I think this game was an example of something with a full blown sequel planned but MS dictated that they'd only be willing to fund dlc and a smaller game.

Had the game been more successful I think we'd have seen an Alan Wake 2 by now.

Loved this game... ms had so many great games last gen and gen before that, sadly i could only imagine what it would of been like with the 1x with sequels like this game and perfect dark, brute force, ninja Gaige now would be insane! Crimson skies, kameo...

Damn ms why you gave up on so many great franchises? I’m sure I’m missing many more games!

Kirby Wii on the way

CVG: Kirby looks set to make his return in a Wii game in the next 12 months as Hoshi No Kirby (Kirby Of The Stars) has appeared on Nintendo's latest release schedule.

The new schedule was released as part of Nintendo's Financial Results Briefing and Hoshi No Kirby appears alongside the Legend Of Zelda (Temp) in the list.

However, the release dates for both games are listed as TBA and neither appears in the Europe or US sections of the schedule. It's also worth pointing out that Hoshi No Kirby also appeared in last year's Financial Results Briefing.

These are standalone right? We don't need Alan wake for them?

Gazondaily2940d ago

Yeah I wonder if this is the case too. If so, that's amazing.

spicelicka2940d ago

I think they do require Alan wake. On the Xbox site it says "This add-on works with Alan wake".

American nightmare is the only one that's independent.

TheCommentator2939d ago

You are correct, Spicelicka, both free episodes are add ons to Alan Wake. American Nightmare is the only stand alone. Interesting thing I noticed while looking the content up though... There's a 6 episode, live action prequel called Bright Falls on the marketplace I didn't know they made. I'm thinking about ckecking it out but I want to read into it a bit more.

crazychris41242940d ago

Just picked up Alan Wake yesterday, I have perfect timing

ghostface92940d ago

Cool does anyone know when they will send codes out for those who preordered quantum break I still havent got mine and want to play american nightmare after I am done with it. Quantum break has been great so far

illtownNJONE2940d ago

american nightmare took 2weeks after I preorderd QB and Alan Wake is 7-10 days after release of QB

EazyC2940d ago

Did that game do well? I remember playing it at a friends and being so surprised that it doesn't have more recognition.

Blue Sun Games - Alan Wake: The Signal and The Writer Review

The Signal and The Writer add to an already rich game: a surreal, poetic journey through a barely sane dreamscape, while giving the story a little more of a conclusion, and providing a stepping stone into a potential sequel. Many will find the ending unsatisfying, though just as many will be delighted at the opportunity to piece together the puzzle themselves. The final moments will either be a contrived cop-out or emotional crescendo depending on the player. Alan Wake is a story to be read on multiple levels, to be dissected and considered. The Signal and The Writer are great value for money, great fun and are essential for Alan Wake fans.
