This looks amazing. Holy fuck am I excited. So cool, you have to be 18+ to view the trailer.


I just replayed Quantum Break, had a great time. I love Remedy's games. I love Alan Wake so much. I can't wait for Alan Wake 2.
You get a very cool look at Alan Wake's Alex Casey in the trailer, very very nice.

Releases for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series on October 27th, 2023.

[M.W.]

Looks good. October is packed.

 

[amigastar]

Yeah, i'm looking forward to Alan Wake 2.
It already looks better than the first one.

 

[kikkis]

Have they confirmed framerate target?

 

[amigastar]

Have they confirmed framerate target?

For console? yeah that would be interesting, my guess is 30 fps.

Sam Lake is like the white Kojima at this point, he put himself in this game too.

can't wait, day 1.

When I played Death Stranding, my friend told me that I, specifically, needed to see the Veteran Porter. Sam Lake's likeness is in a Kojima game too!

 

[Salmon Snake]

This will be definitely be a day 1 for me.

I'm not watching any Alan Wake 2 trailers/videos after this.

 

[SJRB]

O my god that looks amazing.

I'm a huge bitch when it comes to spoopy games but I have to play this.

I'm the same, usually i don't play horror games (I'm a sissy) but this one i have to play.

 

[TheSHEEEP]

Hell yeah.
It's about time that series gets continued.

 

[mxbison]

Looks great.

I hope they improved the combat. The whole light->shoot thing got old pretty fast in the first game.

 

[L*][*N*K]

I know, how cool it would be if Kojima was in Alan Wake 2, who knows maybe he is?

 

[acm2000]

Already pre-ordered, the first game made me funny in my naughty bits

 

[gela94]

Amazing trailer, it got me hyped up but why are they telling me already half the story ?

 

[balls of snow]

Cannot wait for the mind fuckery.

 

[GymWolf]

Hopefully combat is gonna be as good as control (and a lot of it) because i really don't give a fuck about the plot.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Genuine fucking tingles! God damn I love remedy and Alan Wake.

What a year!

 

[Bartski]

Honestly remarks about "seemless integration" of live action into the game kills a lot of my hype.
AW1 had those TV shots but it seems it will have a much larger role here, I just hope they don't overdo it

 

[Big Baller]

Yeah not feeling the live action

 

[Merkades]

I reasonably liked the first one (not the dlc though, that sucked), but for now this is a hard no for me. I really hate when people do artsy shit. I guess I will wait 'til it releases and I see more to see whether that is common or not.

 

[CGNoire]

I think there just referring to the tvs and monitors etc... not full screen...I think thats just for the trailer.

 

[Rien]

That live action is shit tho.

 

[Lupin3]

That live action is shit tho.

It's perfect!

 

[Robb]

Meh, live action does nothing for me. Not feeling this one.

Looking forward to the game though.

 

[VolticArchangel]

Not into these cinematic games, but holy shit, Remedy makes some of the most prettiest games for the timeframe of when they're out. Their proprietary Northlight engine, and it's particle physics model, is just insane, as it was in Control.

This is one of the best looking currentgen games without a doubt. The testament to the game's presentation is the fact that the trailer has a mixture of live action FMV's + in-engine cinematics + gameplay direct feed, all looking really close to each other.

Shame that this is getting sandwiched among the heavy hitters later this year though. I get that they're aiming for that Halloween timeframe for PR reasons, but they should have released this in Jan or Feb 2024, when it isn't crowded.

 

[Giallo Corsa]

That's a Remedy game alright, looks absolutely beautiful - the live action I could do without but it's not a deal breaker in the grand scheme of things.

This will be another 30fps title though on consoles which means that I'll have to wait 1+ year as to play it on the rumored PS5 Pro as to have a better experience...

 

[Rien]

It's perfect!

Meh. I rather not have it. Hated it in QB, it dragged the game down by quite a lot if you ask me. But I am willing to give it a try

 

[Husky]

I really liked the live-action cutscenes in Alan Wake's American Nightmare
There might be a chance that Alan's story is animated, but Mr. Scratch's scenes (witnessed by Alan on TV) are live-action.

 

[Punished Miku]

Thats one of the main things increasing my hype.

 

[hlm666]

I wonder if the trailer is using the ray traced mode.

Alan Wake 2: RTX ON-OFF Comparison

NVIDIA DLSS Accelerates This Fall’s Biggest Games, Including Alan Wake 2, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III & PAYDAY 3

www.nvidia.com

we should find out here in 2 hours I guess.

 

[Hugare]

I love Alan Wake, but yeah, the live action is pretty bad.

Always have been cheesy on past Remedy games, but now that they are making a survivor horror game, that cheesiness can get in the way.

 

[Hudo]

Sam Lake is like the white Kojima at this point, he put himself in this game too.

can't wait, day 1.

Sam Lake has worked on games with awesome gunplay, though.

 

[Luipadre]

My most anticipated game after starfield. Cannot wait

Funny, Skyrim's my favorite game, and Alan Wake is my second favorite, so I'm pretty much in the same boat.
Maybe things are looking up Husky... maybe they'll re-announce Prey 2 soon.

 

[Represent.]

Will easily be my GOTY

 

[Husky]

A Thomas Zane film! Maybe its story will be detailed in the game

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I mean the window dressing sure looks great but I need to see proper gameplay to be convinced. The first game plays like shit and so far the only Remedy game I think is truly great has been Control. That's specifically because it isn't a corridor funnel spectacle with nonstop cutscenes and other bullshit story gimmicks.

I don't really "get" story trailers like this, I already know it's a surreal Horror game. I need to see how it actually plays and what the level design is like, it's a video game.

 

[SportsFan581]

Trailer looks fantastic. Good to see them return to this one.

Now where is Quantum Break 2?

 

[3liteDragon]

[Husky]

I was wondering whether Alan Wake's mentions in Quantum Break were merely easter eggs. There's a lecture hall in the chemistry wing of Riverport University with a series of notes on Alan Wake, including connections between the Dark Place and the Dark Presence with dark matter and dark energy (noting that these combined make up 95% of the known universe—a very ominous note if Alan Wake's enemy really does relate to these). The Alex Casey novels are also shown to exist, but the one thing that made these feel the most like easter eggs, rather than shared universe connections, was that the End of Time would be a very confusing inclusion in Alan Wake's universe

 

[adamsapple]

Day 1, babay !

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Holy crap at the DLSS 3.5 implementation.

 

[hlm666]

Holy crap at the DLSS 3.5 implementation.

I had no idea this game was coming in with full raytracing, it's why the screenshots above look so good. Really good early xmas present With UE5 dropping turds all over the place we need more custom/inhouse engines.

 

[Musilla]

 

[EverydayBeast]

Gonna hear about reviews first, Alan wake was a solid third person poltergeist shooter my guess is people will take their time and wait for it to arrive on ps plus.

 

[balls of snow]

They are showing gameplay on ign livestream. Probably scroll back an hour or so for the segment. Looks Re2remake as fuck.

 

[oji-san]

I like the more closer camera angle than the first game, atmosphere looks perfect.

 

[Dacvak]

Are those live action cutscenes or just insane offline renders? I’m watching compressed on a phone, but the animations look like real actors. (Is this an Alan wake thing?)

Edit: Oh literally everyone in this thread already answered my question. Maybe I should just read first.
