Metro- Someone has obviously taken a long hard look at the original Alan Wake game before contemplating this download-only follow-up. Developer Remedy, best known for creating the Max Payne franchise (although they have nothing to do with the forthcoming third game), spent five years making the original but the end result was a disappointingly limp and repetitive action adventure.
If you're going to make your main character a novelist, you're asking for trouble when you fill the game with wooden dialogue and a paper thin plot. But the original Alan Wake game (which is just about to be released on PC for the first time) had more problems than just a bad script. Beneath the pretension it was nothing more than a simple third person action game, where the setting and combat never changed from the first minutes of the game to the last.
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.
Accurate.
I agree it`s not perfect, but the reviewer comes off as so pretentious that he acts like anything NOT a masterpiece deserves to be whipped with the extension cord while it cowers in fetal position. By his standards, %99 of the games out there should be buried in the desert next to Atari's ET.
The Metro is my favourite tabloid as far as tabloids go, but 5/10? wtf was the reviewer smoking?
This is obviously a guy who only plays CoD and thinks everything else is considered garbage..
