@XG247: We've spent the past few nights stuck in a nightmare written by Alan Wake, he's a writer don't you know.
When we did finally manage to wake up we had to gather our thoughts and work out if the dream made any sense or if we'd wet the bed. Turns out we did both.
Alas, our review.
Welcome back Link Cable Gaming fans, by far one of my favourite surprises of the Game Awards was the surprise announcement of Alan Wake 2. Alan Wake developed by Remedy Entertainment, and released in May 2010 on the Xbox 360, Alan Wake 2 will finally be brought back. While we were treated just this year to the surprise Alan Wake Remastered earlier in October 2021, or Alan Wake’s American Nightmare in February 2012, fans never got a true sequel. What will the future of the Alan Wake franchise look like?
Perfect! a sequel that will remind me of the smell of mildew and damp coffee grounds with a side of deadly premonition.
Where else would the franchise go? Seems like a sure thing. American Nightmare should be in the remake though.
You know I was thinking alternatives right?
For all it could have been, you know how the sequel market is sometimes, weird spin - offs, spiritual successors, reimagining, a VR walking simulator (bleh) and all that.
I like the idea of an evolved sequel way more
Epic Games Store is giving away two free games this week. Alan Wake’s American Nightmare and Observer are free until October 24. Once you claim them, you get to keep them.
Epic Games has announced that Surviving Mars is currently free on its store. As such, PC gamers can acquire their free copy today, and until October 17th, by visiting its Epic Games Store page.
Remedy hasn't released a huge hit since Max Payne 1&2.
This is what happens when you add over the top action to a game which dosen't suit it.
They should of just stuck to AW2 and if it is going to release this gen, they could of gotten it out by the end of this year.
I even would of prefered them continuing doing DLC for AW, I don't understand why they stopped if they were going to make American Nightmare which is basicaly equal to one very big DLC for a game
Overall the game is getting good to great reviews. People are trying to review it like a full sequel to Alan Wake and it's not.
This is an arcade title to try to get some support up so they can possibly do a full on Alan Wake 2 game in the future.
They have a size limit on XBL and so of course a lot of the cutscenes and therefore story elements were left out. I'm really looking forward to playing anything to do with new Alan Wake.
3/5 is still good.
I loved the first AW, the "media" did not. I am ready for more Alan Wake!
