Digital Foundry has the full lowdown on the quality of the Xbox Series X and Series S ports of Alan Wake 2.
Remedy has released its financial statement for the first quarter of 2024, and despite strong sales, Alan Wake 2 has yet to recoup its development costs.
Lol. I imagine there's still alot of people that buy physicals. Or atleast see what kind of new games are out by what they see in real stores. This is on them. Idda paid 70 day one physical. Now I won't pay more then 15 for it
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.
IMPRESSIVE!!! O.o
This video is a hard punch in the face of all Series S haters and lazy developers!
The most demanding current gen game to date runs GREAT on the Series S!
The Series X version has the superior performance over the PS5 version! The Series X on performance mode maintain consistent 60fps while the PS5 will run at the 50´s most of the time.
But we heard that the Series S was supposed to hold back the Series X version!
So how the Series X version is the superior port compared to the PS5? XD
Congrats Remedy! You guys did a remarkable work!
Only issue I’m having with the ps5 version currently is the per pixel shimmering that they had with Control albeit to a lesser extent.
It’s far worse in Alan Wake 2. What’s strange is they put that issue down to the way ray path tracing works with Control but Alan Wake 2 has no ray tracing on PS5. Kind of wish I’d bought it on PC though, however I probably would have needed to buy a new graphics card along with it.
Unless developers are lazy or incompetent, a multiplat game will run better on the more powerful console.
Question should be, why don't all mutiplat games run better on the most powerful console? Incompetence, laziness or something else $$$...
Gonna be honest, the only person I've seen play the game on Xbox had a bunch of bugs. Either the game is poorly optimized for the Xbox or the Xbox is just not as good at running it, not sure but I had no bugs on the PS5 for what it's worth.
