alan wake did not try to be deep. whaaat?
It knew what it wanted to be from the beginning to end.
A cliche thriller. Just like Mp1 and Mp2 knew what they wanted to be from the beginning.
If you had no idea about max payne or its roots... you'd think max payne tried to be deep w/ the comic cover voice overs and shit.

oh leave it alone, it was an entertaining story with a cool approach to its narrative.. it went a little overboard with it, but i think thats what they intended to do - a pulpy novel style scenario, full of over the top, contrived sequences. By at least acknowledging them, its more about poking fun at how most horror novels (and movies) are written... the game essentially turned them into law - guidelines that must be adhered to, so that he could write his way out the other side...

yeah.. i really liked it and its approach. was a solid, fun game. Yeah the shooting mechanics were a bit of an afterthought, but i think remedy has shown (like they did with quantum break) that while their gameplay mechanics are still functional and work well, they feel they get in the way of their main focus which is characters, story and atmosphere.

how far theyve come from max payne, which was definitely gameplay-focused, eh Very Happy

The game was definitely one of their best ones. I still havent played Quantum Break but I don't think it's is good as AW was. I have to admit that I was very sceptical about AW due to Xbox exclusive and the fuckups around 'Intel Dual Core Technology demo' but the game turn out to be very very good. The ambient was very solid regardless of some fustraiting fighting scenes.

Must be a polarizing character. I spent the whole game wishing the ugly, annoying bitch would die. Evil or Very Mad

We are looking into relicensing the music for Alan Wake, but have no timeframe for this.

I figured as much, it really didn't make sense for this to be perminant... It's just music ffs.. Sure it's important, but nothing that a suitable replacement can't be found for if relicensing is not possible.

Remedy was able to convince Microsoft to re-license the problematic music so the game is back on digital platforms for sale (and on sale currently).

edit Erm "convinced" is probably the wrong word. They negotiated. Who paid what to whom is not details that we have, and it doesn't really matter.

I just started a new playthrough couple of hours ago Very Happy

I loved Alan Wake when it first came out, I loved the story, the atmosphere and the Twin Peaks inspired setting.

Hopefully we finally get a sequel soon.

Also it's 10 years today since the game came out on Xbox360 back in 2010, Remedy are doing some cool things this week, so if anyone is interested go and check them out.

The remaster doesn't feel necessary on PC, though I imagine it could make some sense if they properly update their Northlight tech and add bells and whistles to it. They'll probably use the remustard as a means to garner the attention of younger consoleros, right before pushing the sequel that's been hinted at over the past few years - AWE's ending, various allusions, Sweeneyian rumours, etc.

I enjoyed Alan Wake (but only on Nightmare mode) so another entry would make me a happy panda, assuming that we'll get Alan Wake and not Alan Woke.

Considering Alan Wake has one of the worst lip sync/facial performances ever made in a modern video game, if they redo that, that would be worth the remaster alone. Considering it's a story heavy single player game. But I'm not holding my breath because that would take quite a bit of work, maybe even brand new performances recorded.

I absolutely loved the mind fuckery vibe of the story and locales combined with the narration in Alan Wake. I can't put my finger on exactly why, but that game just did it for me. Hopefully they do it justice on the remaster.

I just hate that they did not really end the story in a conclusive manner, including DLCs that sort of side-stepped the expected ending? Same as with Control. Remedy can't seem to accept having to properly end a story.

They concluded Max's story arc with Max Payne 2 in a satisfying manner before R* flushed it down. Can't comment on QB's ending because I didn't finish that movie. Laughing
