Gamespot : In an exclusive in-depth look at Remedy's horror sequel, we got to meet the game's new star.

I hope Jessi make a cameo in this game.

[Magog]

It should have just been Jessi. I don't know why they wouldn't go for that synergy.

[toxic-inferno]

I suppose they'd then have to give the player Jessi's usual abilities (or come up with a convuluted reason why she didn't have her abilities), which would make the game feel more like a Control game.

And it's likely Saga will have some link to the Bureau - it's the most obvious way to tie the world of Control into the world of Alan Wake.

Watching her in the FBI jacket, makes it feel much cooler for some reason. Like a True Detective tv show or something. Very excited for this

[RaidenBlack]

Shame, very few people are talking about this game. AWII is mostly in the spotlight becoz of the digital only fiasco.
But the game itself looks soo good and interesting. Easily the best looking game at the showcase.
Can't wait for summer game fest's full length gameplay demo.

I felt Spidey had better graphical fidelity, but animation wise, Phantom Blade -0- stole the show for me.

[SullysCigar]

Reminds me a little bit of Heavy Rain, scouring the crime scene as a cop in the middle of a downpour - it felt cool. I'm liking what I see so far of AW2.

[BehindTheRows]

Ironically, back in the 2008-2010 period, the original Alan Wake was often compared with Heavy Rain as well!

[hotnickles]

Can’t wait I’m a fan of that universe in general

[Crows90]

Finally. A developer that doesnt do tokenism and is creating actually interesting characters. This is how it is done.

[Flewid638]

The woke police on this thread disagree heavy lol

[RedDevils]

Should start watching the New little mermaid and the Cleopatra documentary lol

[Crows90]

My brain might explode. Not even because of the ridiculousness but mostly because modern tv is just so bad.

[Auron]

First one wasnt that good. I'll Pass or wait for it on gamepass.

[Crows90]

Yes. I agree. It was a solid 8/10 for me or 3/5

However, since then they've made some good games. Control being a prime example. I think it looks like a vast improvement from back then.

[BehindTheRows]

So a solid 80/100 or 60/100? Which is it? XD

[Crows90]

@behind

An /10 score is not the same as an /5

An /10 has a bunch of silly numbers that don't mean much or differentiate from each other.
Think of numbers 1-5. From an outside perspective all those numbers mean bad, broken, not enjoyable, etc. There's only weak arguments that can try to defend a game being a 2/10 vs. 3/10...therefore in an /10 rating there's a massive curve towards the higher ratings.

Huge difference between a 7/10 and an 8/10.

However with the /5 rating method you don't have filler scores. There's a big difference between a 1/5, 2/5 , 3/5, 4/5 and 5/5

So yes. Depending on your preference ..if you like to get a score out of /10 then I'd give a 8 since many of the lower numbers don't mean anything and a 7 is much worse because all the others don't really exist. If you prefer the out of /5 method then I'd say it's 3...a good average game. Okay if missed but nothing broken about it.

So woke. Love it. BLM all the way! But is it optional or you can play for Alan Wake and not for an american female black cop?
