GB: "Alan Wake 2 is reportedly hitting later this year and here are 14 things we don’t want Remedy to implement in it."
With path-traced diffuse lighting and reflections even the mighty RTX 4090 can't hit 60 FPS at 4K without frame generation.
Alan Wake 2 is set in 2023, yet in Bright Falls and the Dark Place, there's a recurring element that feels somewhat anachronistic.
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.
Remedy revealed that Alan Wake 2 has recouped most of the investment made by Epic. They also talked about more regular sequels for their IPs.
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.
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
I agree that I don't want this to be an over the top action game.
I didn't really like the focus on combat had with American Nightmare. Too many enemies and they ramped up the time to kill way to far. Playing the original game on nightmare difficulty really felt like survival horror. You were weighing fight or flight with almost every encounter, and it was tense and satisfying.
Either way, I'm glad we're getting a sequel in general. Wasn't sure it was ever going to actually happen.
How about "To not be exclusive to an unwanted additional games launcher on PC"?
I forgot Alan wake 2 comes out this year...and it's a remedy game, they don't miss.
Great year for horror games.
