VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Those that made it onto the Shortlist below are each special in their own way. Alan Wake 2, a long time in the making, dazzled players with its cutting-edge graphics and brilliant narrative. Baldur's Gate III wowed critics and consumers alike with an amazing cast of characters and dizzying gameplay freedom. Final Fantasy XVI impressed with its beautiful cut-scenes and fresh take on action combat. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, a game under the shadow of impossibly high expectations, invigorated its audience with endless opportunities for experimentation. And Resident Evil 4 riffed on an 18-year-old formula, in some instances improving on one of the best games of all time."
Two actors from Baldur's Gate 3 explain how they shot *that* scene with The Emperor, and how it broke the ice on the first day of filming.
Hanzala from eXputer: "A major reason of Alan Wake 2 underperforming was no physical release; I'm glad the game's finally considering one, alongside a fabulous DLC."
It seems though Xbox Series X owners are being shafted though

Well atleast all those Xbox fans who told me to go cry in a corner when I complained about cyberpunk on ps5 being like that for Playstation buyers will know how it feels.
I got Cyberpunk on PS5 and have come to accept the DLC isn't on disc, even though I really want it to be. What's more important to me though is the base game being preserved in both instances and this is where Remedy is dropping the ball on Xbox
This should have happened day 1.
I'm sure they'll get some buyers but nowhere near what they would have this came out day 1
In a way I'm kinda glad this happened like this.
I'd prefer the most complete game on the disc. I don't need the latest and greatest. I've got patience
Also, releasing this way will send a message to publishers about the future of physical media. AW2 has struggled to become profitable, but if the physical release makes it profitable, they will have to acknowledge that there is real demand for physical media.
Not that they'll necessarily listen...
I see both your points
Honestly, in a small way I hope it doesn't sell well as an F U to the physical buyers that were forced to wait over a year. But I also see how that could be counter productive.
On topic, for all those of you that say "it's going to happen anyway" or "get used to it", this whole ordeal exposes the point I made years ago. The industry goes where YOUR wallet allows it to go. If people stop buying digital, what do you think will happen?, They'll be forced to go physical. Need proof? Look here at AW2
''Alan Wake 2 Getting A Disc Edition Is A Massive Win For Gaming''
/FIXED
Again, it's Collectors Edition ONLY and it's $200. There's no standard edition at the standard price so, unless you pay $200, keep dreamin
You're mistaken. The announced deluxe version is to take the place of a standard version at retail.
Glad this is happening. Just a question cause I was trying to watch at work in the middle of a mold change lol. Is the dlc going to be on disc? It sounds like it.
It looks like the PS5 version will have the full game + DLC on disc. The Xbox version will require a download.
