I’ve been waiting my whole life for an action game with a shillelagh 😝
Show threadNOT_RICKDec 12
I see they’re following in Hades two’s footsteps and making the protagonist the original game’s sibling. Looking forward to this! Leaving the Oldest House certainly opens up some possibilities. I hope there are still unaffected Bureau personnel to interact with still.
Show threadElvith Ma'forDec 12
I mean, the sibling you’re now playing as had a pretty big role in the first game, so it’s not that surprising. And considering that a shift in style and genre would be awkward as a direct sequel where you play the same protagonist again, so there was an obvious choice to mix things up a bit.
Show threadDavel23Dec 12
This could be a rare day-1 buy for me, assuming they're not doing the Epic exclusive bullshit.
Show threadBenchamonehDec 12

To be fair to Remedy they only partnered with Epic to get them to fund AW2, it was either a GameStore exclusive or no game to release.

Glad to see this on steam though.

Show threadCoelacanthDec 12

I wish more people realised this. Alan Wake 1 sold really poorly, but Sam Lake and Remedy had really really wanted to make a sequel forever and literally no other publisher would touch the franchise. They tried to talk Microsoft into it but got funding refused and had to make Quantum Break instead.

Epic was their only chance to get to do their passion project, it’s not like I can blame them.

Show threadcøreDec 12
Exactly this. I didn’t like it but I held my nose for it and it was worth it.
Show threadMinnesotaGoddamDec 12
Wait they were quantum break? Neat ⊂(^◔ܫ◔^)⊃
Show threadCoelacanthDec 12

There are 2 pretty massive Alan Wake easter eggs in Quantum Break actually! Sam Lake and co were working on ideas for the sequel in the background even when the publisher weren’t interested.

Also I think the integrated TV show in Quantum Break taught Remedy a lot of valuable lessons for live-action work, that you can say they then perfected in Control and (especially) Alan Wake 2.

Show threadDamageDec 12
Same, as long as it’s not 70 eurodollars
Show threadmohabDec 12

Damn, is this an action game?! Only reason I didn’t like the first game is I hated the shooting. If this is truly an action RPG, like it says on Steam, with no shooting, I’m down.

I hope there are launchers and air combos and shit.

Show threadsigmaklimgrindsetDec 12
Thank you Remedy for not Epic-jailing this like with Alan Wake 2! That game is such a masterpiece that more people need to play 😭
Show threadP03 LockeDec 13

I’m still patiently waiting for it to get released on Steam.

All things land on Steam eventually.

Show threadCoelacanthDec 13

It’s not happening. Alan Wake 2 was not just a regular Epic exclusivity deal. Literally every other publisher refused to touch the franchise. Epic didn’t just publish it, they fully funded its development. Given these circumstances, I can’t imagine it ending up on Steam in the foreseeable future - if ever.

If you can’t allow yourself to hold your nose and make an Epic account just pirate it at this point. It’s an absolutely phenomenal game and not worth missing out on over attempting to show Todd Sweeney the middle finger.

Show threadDe LancreDec 14

just pirate

Second that. Also, I’m sure everyone at Remedy perfectly knew that there will be close to zero profit from sales on EGS. Things like that planned beforehand.

Show threadAnarchoEngineerDec 12
Let’s fucking goooooooo!!!
Show threadplasma_stimulantDec 12

I was not expecting a hack’n’slash, but this surprise is very welcome.

I love the Remedyverse and where it is going. So hyped!

Show threadEchDec 12
I missed the news about a sequel and was popping off when this started. Hoping it’s not as resource hungry as AW2 was, but excited either way. Control was amazing.
Show threadlime!Dec 12
man, i was hoping for less action more puzzles. the setting lends itself so well to that.
Show threadmoopetDec 12
Trailers gonna trail though. Explosions sell, the game could be 99% puzzle for all we know :)
Show threadlime!Dec 12
considering the previous entry, who knows.
Show threadHal-5700XDec 12
Please be good. 🙏
Show threadnithouDec 12
Big Inception vibes, really looking forward to this one as I loved Control but didn’t like Alan Wake 2 that much
Show threadmoopetDec 12
Same. I loved control, gave up on the AW “games” after about 30 minutes each.

Show threadpopcar2Dec 12
I guess we’re DMC now. I loved Control and AW2, but the gameplay for both was so-so. Glad to see they’re branching out.
Show threadMinnesotaGoddamDec 12
I love control’s gameplay, (didn’t like aw so skipped aw2 until my library has a free copy) I’m excited for everything about this. It is my favorite video game universe
Show threadpopcar2Dec 12

Alan Wake 2 has a DLC that ties in pretty heavily with Control, so you’ll definitely want to play that before the new game comes out.

Show threadCoelacanthDec 13

If gameplay is your concern then AW2 is miles ahead of the first game. It’s a very competent survival horror game in its own right, on top of all the Remedy stuff.

If you didn’t like the story then, well I dunno. It’s not like it gets less convoluted.

Show threadMinnesotaGoddamDec 13

If you didn’t like the story then

excuse me i have taste. i just couldn’t get into the batteries dying after 30 seconds mechanic i kept screaming at the television every time i lost one. not Oh No screaming, When’s The Last Time Some Dipshit Replaced These Emergency Batteries Why Are There Emergency Batteries That Can’t Hold A Godsdamned Charge screaming.

Show threadP03 LockeDec 13
Control was fun, but let’s be real, it’s Smack Enemy with Chair Simulator with a little bit of gunplay mixed in.
Show threadDon_alFornoDec 12
I just want 20 hours of that heavy metal ashtray labyrinth sequence.
Show threadsamus12345Dec 12
I see a vision rising, dreary
Show threadNightmareQueenJuneDec 13
Yeees. This section was just amazing. I’ve rarely felt as badass in a game as in the ashtray Labyrinth.
Show threadsamus12345Dec 12
I really loved the ambience of the Oldest House. Wonder if this is a genre shift from 3D Metroidvania to linear action game?
Show threadP03 LockeDec 13
The first 30 minutes was one of the greatest world-building hooks ever made for a video game.
Show threadNightmareQueenJuneDec 13
The first game was a fever dream in the best way possible. I’m quite hyped.
Show threadRizzRustboltDec 14
Ooo Remedy, you sly dogs. I was wondering when you were going to make that pay off.
