Alan Wake 2 Will Be the ‘Most Beautiful Remedy Game Ever'

Remedy's Sam Lake promises Alan Wake 2 will be the most beautiful Remedy game ever made thanks to Northlight.

Alan Wake was a great game and I have no doubt this will be even better. Can’t wait!

[darthv72]

I have been spoiled by the 60fps of the remaster so i hope the followup retains that. MS were stupid to have passed on this so long ago but it is nice Remedy kept tinkering with the notion of one day making it happen. It makes me hopeful for a Quantum Break 2 at some point.

[bouzebbal]

Lol is their first next gen game so why this kind of very expected announcement

[autobotdan]

Well they were not about the say- 'Remedy's Sam Lake promises Alan Wake 2 will be the 3rd most beautiful Remedy game ever made' lol

[RaidenBlack]

Well no doubt.
The Northlight is a powerhouse of an engine.

I loved Alan Wake but I'd prefer Quantum Break 2.

[Concertoine]

I liked QB and enjoyed that gameplay over AW but it doesnt lend itself to sequels v well. I think it was perfect as a stand alone game.

[TheDoomedGuy]

Well you must not have been listening or reading the lore in the game.

QB has a tremendous amount of sequel content.

[Michiel1989]

@thedoomedguy also depends on what kind of ending you like (didnt play QB so cant comment on that), but for last of us and to some extent horizon zero dawn didnt need a sequel for me. I like open endings, where the main plotline is ended but the future (of the world) is left to my imagination and I think Last of Us and Horizon are perfect examples of that.

[pietro1212]

QB needs a sequel too the lore is expansive and now it’s all connected.

[babadivad]

The ending literally set it self up as a to be continued.

[TheDoomedGuy]

Depends on what kind of changes are made in this sequel. Could be really great but I agree I'd lilove a QB2 Just like I'd love a Ryse 2 but....fat chance.

[babadivad]

Holding out hope for QB2. As for Ryze, I think the technology is good enough to have an do a Mongol Empire and call it "Ryze son of the Steppe".

It would be extremely cool to traverse the Eurasian Steppe with an army behind you.

[Ninver]

Relax with the hype without gameplay.

[Prubar]

They don’t need to show gameplay if they have the pedigree. Which they do.

[pietro1212]

Remedy has an amazing track record though.

[Ninver]

Yeah so did CD Project Red and Rockstar.

[TheDoomedGuy]

@ninver
Rockstar and cdprojekt don't have amazing track records.
CD project only ever made witcher and rockstar has maybe 3 IP under their belt.

[pietro1212]

ninver

Rockstar has been known to release duds and CD Project Red had one great title under their belt.

[My_Name_is_Earl]

One would hope!

[Pyrofire95]

Well it'd be a bit odd if it was worse.

[ProjectVulcan]

I hope it runs better than Control did on PS4 and Xbox One. Remedy have a bad habit of producing games that performance wise are sub par and beyond the ability of the console hardware to run them smoothly.

[Ashunderfire86]

Alan Wake 2 is next gen only so you don't have to worry about the shortcomings of last gen. 2023 will be the year of many games going next gen or current gen only. PS4 and X1 Jaguar CPU just can't handle the pressure. Alan Wake 2 is now my most anticipated game of 2023 next to Spiderman 2!!! Control Ultimate Edition for PS5 was a great free download for me thru PS Plus! That game is worth the $60 bucks and its featured packed like crazy!!!

[ProjectVulcan]

It doesn't matter what console hardware Remedy have they overstretch it and have a history of that. Max Payne ran badly on PS2, Alan Wake had very poor image quality (low resolution) and it ran badly on Xbox 360. Quantum Break was very blurry with very low resolution, performance was about acceptable however Control ran badly on the previous generation machines.

Each time more performance was available they overdid it and delivered shonky framerates or image quality. They have never nailed it. It took another generation of hardware to fix it by simply overpowering their idea of optimisation on all these titles.

[TheDoomedGuy]

It's kinda funny how devs that always made games for one platform are now multiplat....and devs that used to be mutliplat are now exclusive. The back and forth is ridiculous.

[plmkoh]

They can say whatever they want but they need to fix their awful action/shooting mechanics. Was awful in the original Alan Wake and I've seen zero improvements over a decade later with Control.
