In Between with Mr Door Talk Show Scenes - Alan Wake 2 PS5

[@senwod75104]

What really struck me in this scene is how David Harewood who plays Mr Door suffered episodes of psychosis - hearing other voices and believing in another reality etc. There's a documentary he did called Psychosis and Me where he talks about his experiences. Anyway it is super apt that he was chosen for this role where he is able to discuss these things with Alan Wake - another really cool element of how meta this game can get.

[@dylanbyrne9597]

@@senwod75104 that's interesting but that's not the reason he was picked the role for Mr door was written for Lance Reddick but he unfortunately passed away so he auditioned and got the part

[@Alucard-gt1zf]

David harewood really stepped into some big shoes filling after lance reddick, but he definitely elevates the role of Mr. door

[@shlapmaster]

I loved Lance in Fringe, RIP.

[@kmhowells2]

That lady scene with Door stepping out of the darkness is so menacing. Harewood really nailed it.

[@WillemDafuq69]

these scenes BLOW MY MIND. What a masterclass from Remedy

[@rickyray2794]

This game is so amazing. The live action cutscenes are so great.

[@WillemDafuq69]

Dude, this is actually the most meta thing ever Door is the player, Alan is the writer. Door is merely a fan askin what's up with the story. This is insanely smart writing.

[@superwhizz114]

I really need to watch everything David Harewood is in. I hope he becomes a permanent member of the Remedy family

[@SamsarasArt]

That last scene gives me chills. Mr Door is so unsettling.

[@TheHi-NoteFunClub-BeatsByMike]

Is it just me, or during the musical number, the quick shot of Alan's face when he seems to be lip syncing the "Ahhhhhh" note - that's the picture Alice took, the one that showed up in Control, and initially resembled/seemed to capture a psychopath slasher in motion... Seems to me it actually captured an artist who needed to physically incorporate performance into his work to manifest a tangible quality beyond words on a page, in order to make his "story" real. Additionally, if it is tied to that photograph - and speaking as a musician who knows the balance/difference between manifesting, then processing/changing potent emotion into an "inspired" performance, and, choosing to just feel a certain way while playing (which leads to distraction, mistakes, etc...) - I'd guess that it was this, uh, collective moment, with Alice helping highlight that art is NOT feeling, it is a representation of feeling/of "internal" reality, that the "feeling" is only REAL in your mind, that it is only real externally if you choose to force your internal feeling into being on the world around you... That this is the moment where both seperation and integration meet, and Alan truly chooses the light as the correct, and only ending for his story (a story that would otherwise destroy OUR reality). Music... The true language of emotion since time immemorial... 🙂

Just a tiny detail, when Mr. Door asks if all of us is part of Alans story, there is a low bass, static effect fading in, building the tension after what he just said at 3:26. And then in that one moment of silence, it is the loudest as if something dark would just reveal itself right there. Such a tiny but effective detail. Man I love this game!! 😂

[@kuruptzZz]

This game is such a mindf***

[@winster32]

That’s Alan Wake for ya. A big mind fuck.

[@Cyynapse]

its absolutely insane to me that all of Alans lines are completely dubbed by the VA and i legit cannot tell

There's the theme of trilogy in both games, there's departure then initiation and return. Initiation is exactly the description of this very game.

[@minertitan9890]

Didn’t they have Matthew voice him during this while Ilkka is out there? How did they do this

[@redfield2308]

quite possible Ilkka and the actor playing Door just did the scene normally and Matthew dubbed over Ilkka in post

[@LovecraftianToenail]

@@redfield2308 still, it's pretty exceptional dubbing! not easy to do well in live action.

I could actually see the lip syncing go slightly off, pay very close attention to his lips

Ilkka does it first then his voice is dubbed after

This is a live action video or a cutscene made in the game engine? (Damn guys, i'm not saying that the in game graphics quality is similar or indistinguishable comparing to this clip, i just wanted to know if this was a pre rendered cutscene or a live action video lol)

[@kristofzsoldos4240]

its a live action video, that is used as a cutscene

[@pariahlord3540]

I love graphics have actually advanced so much it's becoming hard to tell the difference

[@eltarn5375]

@@soupl347I mean, yeah, alright, it is easy to tell the difference - but graphics in Alan Wake 2 are superb, and live action cutscenes do not look out of place in the game - they work together for better immersion. So it's both a testament of how graphics improved in the last years and to the skills of Remedy developers, who can create something so captivating.

[@lothair069]

it was fucking my brain too, i couldn't tell

[@thequietkid1548]

Wait so does this imply that Mr Door is Saga's father? 9:26

[@jeshegames]

Spoiler Saga is given manuscripts by Tim Breaker that details how Mr Door and the Family of Doors can navigate through realities and that’s how she escapes the Dark Place. Mr Door is mad that Alan wrote Saga into the story but he knows that now it’s done he has to help him too.

[@thegrimsleeper07]

What the comment above said. Basically, Mr. Door is Sagas father and is drawn to Alan Wake, as he wrote her into his story.

[@daveSUStaine31]

why is the acting of that actor of alan wake so bad? Is this intended?

nvm, his voice is dubbed by another guy, no wonder the delivery of this character looks so bad
