Alan Wake - Anniversary Update with Sam Lake, Ilkka Villi and Matthew Porretta

[@yellowbat79]

Sam openly talking about how the team wants to stay focused on the game rather than put time into a demo that will most likely change by the final product... Man it's so nice to hear someone in charge saying that. We need more like Sam and the Remedy team in the industry. Amazing work, and I hope to see you all when a presentable build of the game is ready😉

[@xCarnageV1]

Seriously, I don’t need a demo presentation to know damn well that I’m buying this on day one no matter what. I would much rather the developers come out and tell us that they think it would be a waste of time to put something together ahead of time as opposed to simply getting the game together and showing us some snippets when they’re fully baked.

[@saurabhpathakYT]

This is how every videogame companies should treat their audiences and fans. They don't want showcases every now and then, but Real updates on what is going on inside and what could we expect. Such a legend Sam Lake is and their teams to respect their fans. I expect no less than a masterpiece and can confirm they'll deliver. Can't wait to see lights ;)

Idea is so good and obvious for Remedy that I have a feeling we might actually see it in AW II :) "Write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN" - Sam Lake to his assistant right now probably

[@coolsenjoyer]

That would be so good. With Control being in same universe, if they did that, both actors would then have like four roles in the games

What makes Remedy games stand out is that each of them has a soul of its own. The characters and the atmosphere is unforgettable, the writing, the script, the storytelling is just flawless. Maybe their games are not incredibly successful commercially but they are pure gems of gaming industry to me. And of course Sam Lake is a great guy with a great smile =)

[@zombieslayer02gjustzombies85]

I think after Alan wake 2 they definitely are getting recognized more because it was an awesome experience of a game like Alan wake silent hill and resident evil all rolled into one in the best possible way without being too much of one of those games

[@ObiGynKenobi]

I hold a deep admiration for Sam Lake and the folks at Remedy because of their commitment to the art and story they want to tell. Because you're right, they're not smash hits commercially, and they could pivot to trend chasing and stuffing their games with live service micro-transaction garbage---literally selling the soul of Remedy---but they don't.

[@KAKOLOOKIYA]

Played it for the First time ever this week. It was a hell of a time, and I followed it with Control. Remedy is an awesome group of people, pouring there unique & episodic storytelling style into their games, and I'm here for it. Felt great to see, Wake, Darling & Max together.

[@dan12con]

Play Quantum Break

[@guitarzero1836]

What’s amazing to me is how Sam Ilkka and Matt all contribute to making Alan feel real. All 3 of their perspectives from different creative fields come together and there’s a real sense of it being a team effort. Sam obviously came up with Alan as the writer but there’s no ego in him, illkka and Matt are just as important and they offer each other material to work off which in turn fleshes Alan out. As a fan since 2010 I cannot wait to play the sequel.

[@wasusapsupan2643]

I really wanna see a character voiced by Ilkka Villi, with the likeness of Matt Poretta. And he should be named Mr.Wade Allain.

Such great casting for the look and sound of Alan. For the longest, I never knew they were different people who did both. Their look and voice go together so well in the game. Can't wait for the sequel!

[@jimmynyman]

Impossible to not completely light up seeing Sam Lake talk about his passions. No matter how completely dark your day might have been. Cannot wait to just absorb more of his writing into my being. Writing that has over the years playing games (1980s to now) become my favorite writing in video games ever. Nothing else really comes close anymore. With both Max Payne remasters and this on the horizon my Remedy-hype levels are back up at the all-time highs of waiting for Max Payne 1 again.

Alan Wake is one of my all-time favorite games and was my first introduction to Remedy. Since then every game of theirs has been a must buy. Can't wait for THE RETURN.

Playing control, I always thought the voice of Darling sounded somehow familiar, but couldn't put my finger on it. Only by scrolling through lore pages, looking up news on AW 2 did I find this and realize that it was because the voice actor of Alan Wake, was also playing Darling. Goddamn, this is getting meta. Love the two franchises, and the fact that they are not only linked in game, but also in terms of actors is amazing. Can't wait for the next chapter from Remedy.

[@BattleBladeWarrior]

Yea! Darling in the game was an actual darling. That character was awesome, and I love how they tie everything together. Also AW2 has some amazing crossover material, I'll say that. Having just finished it the other day, I highly recommend it.

[@xCarnageV1]

I’m convinced we’re getting Noir York City from Max Payne 2. John Mirra, who was a doppelgänger of the protagonist, would contact him through pay phones as he attempted to navigate Noir York City. Mirra was pretending to be John, after having kidnapped John’s girlfriend and starting a serial killing spree using his face. The landscape was said to shift and change with every murder Mirra committed, making it a nightmare for the protagonist to maneuver through with any semblance of direction. Sounds absolutely perfect for something like The Dark Place, a metaphysical space that can be altered through the act of creation. Especially taking into account that Alan Wake wrote a book called ‘Return to Sender’, which is exactly what the Address Unknown marathon is called in Max Payne 2 that details John Mirra’s antics in Noir York. 👀😱

[@Dub4Life]

@@xCarnageV1 damn that actually sounds somewhat interesting, the only issue is that Remedy is not in possession of the rights to Max Payne universe. Although I suppose something like this may happen because of Alex Casey books and this guy is basically Max Payne. Well, we'll have to just wait and see!

[@xCarnageV1]

@@Dub4Life Remedy just entered into an agreement with Rockstar to do full remakes of Max Payne 1 and 2 for next-gen consoles using the Northlight Engine, the same engine used for Control and Alan Wake 2. There is a very real possibility that Remedy will work new lore into those remakes that can permanently tie it back into the established Remedyverse, even if it’s only in vague ways. They can easily explain Max Payne’s world as a reality separate from Alan’s, one that he unknowingly was able to see in visions disguised as inspiration. These visions led him to create Alex Casey as a character for his books. The only catch is that Control confirmed Alex Casey is a real person, he exists, AND he’s looking for Alan. Dylan says of one of his dreams, ‘in one world, there was a writer who wrote a story about a cop. In another world, the cop was real.’ That implies that Alex Casey is either from another reality entirely, or that Alex Casey is a creation of Alan’s, inspired by the reality of Max Payne. But Control also confirmed that Alan can’t effectively ‘create’ people, he can only use things already tethered to our reality and force them into outcomes that he (or the story) finds desirable. So that makes me wonder if Alex Casey effectively IS Max Payne, pulled from his world and awakening as someone entirely different, and yet the same. Sorry for the unhinged rant, this sequel just has me unbelievably excited, lol.

[@Dub4Life]

@@xCarnageV1 dunno if it'd be necessary or even suitable to have Max connected to the Remedy universe, although your thoughts really make it sound exciting. I appreciate it, man. And if Casey is the real Max that would be just sad. Like, the man suffered enough, found his happy end after all, and then this, lol. Don't be sorry about anything, I probably cannot deliver the same amount of words in my replies, but I'm always up for sweet analysis or interesting thoughts. Same goes for me about excitement, this game is literally my most awaited one. The fans need to stick together, after all.

[@phillipeulee4441]

I feel like Alan wake 2 is going to be waaayyy scarier than the first one. But im so ready for that!

[@trcsonic]

I'm really happy with this. I'm a fan of Alan Wake and this guys deserves the best.

Take your time on the gameplay cycle. We all believe in you remedy. Now let’s get Alan out of the dark place! PS: thank you for the birthday gift :)

It's a real fact that Remedy really cures your mind, feelings and emotions.

This is so damn wholesome. I remember borrowing my friend's XBOX360 and playing through the original within one weekend when I was in my teens. A few years ago, me and my best friend came across Control, not knowing that it was made by the same studio, and we had an absolute blast with the game. And now there's Alan Wake 2, which is easily one of the best survival-horror games of all time, up there with the likes of Resident Evil 1,2,4 and Silent Hill 2,3. Thanks for doing what you do, guys. The game industry needs more studios like Remedy.
