VG24/7: Alan Wake’s debut on Xbox Live Arcade is more than you think, according to VGA boss and GameTrailers TV host Geoff Keighley, who’s said it’s “effectively” 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?
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
Kind of a goody story...
On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.
Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.
Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.
Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.
Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄
So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I was just managing to take it in that they were going to do a spin off before a sequel but now......THIS is the sequel.
So much for people going on saying things like "There just getting ready for AW2" or "There just seeing if it's worth AW2"
Sorry but it's pretty obvious now.....Microsoft had this amazing franchise which was a nice change from all the FPS/TPS you see on the console and just like the first one...they just don't give a crap about it
Wake sold over 1.5 million copies, most of them digitally. Of course they'll take the chance to turn it into a digital series. It's where the majority (five times more people got it digitally) of the fans are.
And the best game i've played this year was digital (Crysis 1). Stop acting like this means the game will be any worse.
Knew it, this means they're essentially making Alan Wake 'Season 2'. WTF is wrong with some of you? This works in respect to the gameplay they're trying to accomplish: episodic content released on a predetermined schedule (like the TV show it alludes itself to being). I think they'll keep to this formula, then give it a retail release once the "TV season" is through.
Just so happy to hear that We are going to be getting more Alan Wake and the fact it's not dlc but a proper stand alone title makes the news even better.
