The Remedy Games Thread

I mean at the very least we got further elaboration on the various escape attempts Alan did before AW2. And some Mr Door lore.

I still havent gotten around to playing the DLC, even though they’d just be relatively unconnected standalone episodes from the main story, and I also have my Final Draft playthrough looming over me, but…

I think I can get two birds with one stone!
You can access the episodes from the Main Menu, but also, you can come across ways to get into them in the main game! (Final Draft only it seems)

Seems like the Lake House DLC might function similarly if we’re allowed to take a side-quest detour as Saga through the blocked-off-gate at Cauldron Lake later…

Pre-orders for the LRG Collector’s Edition are now open.

Seems the regular physical edition for the game is finally being posted on retailers sites for pre-order too.

Up here in Canada? 110$ :grimacing:

I love the game, I might get it, but wow, pricey.
I don’t need AW 1 Remastered bundled in, but I assume that might contribute to some of the higher price too

If anyone’s ever confused about the cyclical and time-twisty nature of Alan Wake 2, apparently a true fan made a full digital plot board explaining the series of events in “order”.

Spoilers for Final Draft inside

I’m like 90% sure the Shadows in the Dark Place are all Alan Wake’s echoes/his insane subsonscious from previous drafts left forgotten.

It was really tough to get a good angle because of their powerful shimmering effect, but I got these:


Plus, they all share dialogue from the “Drowning” Writer’s Video so there’s that.

“A. Wake. Alan Wake. [That sounds like a character’s name!]”
“You are in MY story!”
“Get out of my story!”
“I need the words!”
“I just wanna go home…”
“I’m drowning, drowning, drowning…”

Alan Wake 2 PS5 Pro details revealed

This version will feature actually working mirrors lol! :laughing:
(The original version on console only has unpolished sheets of metal as “mirrors”)

Old vs New.

They say “original versions did not have Ray Tracing”, but I SWEAR the quality mode mentioned minor ray tracing involved… dang…

Yeah I know, how does Hitman, (even the one from 2018 onwards) get it soooo right, but not even next gen ultra detailed Alan Wake 2??

Nice little DLC, short and simple. Also I get the feeling that Remedy aren’t going to be using AI in their future projects though…

Getting into the Lake House. About an hour in, taking it reeeeal slow (because spooks.)

Probably gonna stop real soon, (because late, also spook) but lmaoooo Sam Lake, he’sreally putting in an Anti-AI plot point with this DLC… A Machine that can replicate Alan Wake’s writing for the sake of playing God maybe? What could possibly go wrong?

A million Feds at a million typewriters could never replicate my style.

That Control 2 Teaser was heavy.

Yep, and I like how this time they’ve made the teaser clearer, even though they used almost the same method as in the AWE DLC for Control. Back then, you had to analyze each frame to understand something at least.

Anyway, I wasn’t surprised by this teaser. If I remember correctly, the things we saw were already, more or less, explained in the main game of Control. I’m probably going to replay the game a bit before Control 2 comes out.

Just finished The Lake House DLC. Felt like a really cool exit from Alan Wake and re-entry into Control for whenever the sequel comes out. But still straddled the line between both pretty damn well.

It was neat having Agent Estevez as the main protagonist, since she’s trained on types of Supernatural events and how to deal with them.
It was fun seeing some of her reactions to events not with confusion, but “oh this is a typical Recursion Loop. Should take me 3 tries.”
Or… “Hey, a talking painting. Totally normal thing to happen. Are you from another dimension or were you once a person?”

Later on though, and especially at the final boss, you can hear the fear in her lungs, it’s chilling as hell.

And man, this DLC brought the aesthetic of Control and made it really freaky in a Survival Horror way.
When I first got into the House, and all the lights turned off and an alarm started blaring, I thought “shiiiiit, this is really bad”.
The more you learn about how things broke apart in-game, the more ominous and chilling the events surrounding it get.

Ah yeah and that Control 2 teaser looks real neat and wild.
I’m a little confused on the whole "The Oldest House has gone dark (on lockdown) for 4 years. I feel like that wasn’t the case at the end of Cont. 1… but what do I know…
