CG writes: Take a look at this video which showcases the just released Alan Wake 2 on PC offering one hour of opening gameplay. In the video, the game is running at pretty much max settings rendering at 4K with DLAA, and full RTX features enabled. This really does push the RTX 4090 to the limit with it running at full pelt and dipping below a desirable 60 fps on occasion. However, the game’s visuals look fantastic as expected from Sam Lake’s development team.
Remedy has made a couple of changes to its core management team with the goal to grow Alan Wake and Control into larger franchises.
Changes like not being anti consumer? putting out Alan Wake Remastered on disc but not the sequel?
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.
