Nag Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 It's official... Quote It's an announcement fans have been eagerly anticipating for more than a decade now, but Alan Wake 2 is finally official - and will be coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and the Epic Games Store in 2023. Details are limited right now, but Remedy's Sam Lake took to the stage during this year's Game Awards to reveal a first, appropriately moody, and extremely wet teaser trailer, before describing the sequel as the studio's "first-ever survival horror game".

one-armed dwarf Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Yeah, so the Control DLC was building up to this I think. Unfortunately I havent played the first one so couldn't really guess at what it was going for, but I think it contained hints as to the location and what might be going down The DLC sucked btw, it's not worth playing. Maybe watch some clips from it online. AW1 is not a game I'll ever go and check out cause every time I do it just feels a bit safe and boring, but I'm interested enough in this world via Control. I liked its style, just has this whole syfy channel or 90s TV miniseries Stephen King vibe so I'm down for more of that. They seem to even acknowledge the 'safe and boring' a little in their announcement as they say this is a survival horror while the last one was action (that generation was terrible for having a proper survival horror game) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I quite liked both the Control dlc, one of them isn't the most inspired looking thing though (in the caverns) I never played Alan Wake, I started it earlier in the year, maybe I'll make a concerted effort soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellow Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 I'm still not sure how AW wasn't a survival horror. You definitely had to survive being attacked by supernatural enemies with (admittedly still generous) limited ammo. I loved it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 Can't wait for this. Remedy's first Survival Horror game, should be a banger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyKurosaki Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Bit bollocks that it’s digital only. I won’t be paying day 1 price for that. One to wait for a decent sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I still need to play the first one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Sign of an oncoming trend I think, going digital only. Won't be the last AAA to do so Gamestop shut up shop the other week in Ireland. I think CEX is the last place that you can actually buy physical games here now, and Smyths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Personally, they can fuck off with that nonsense. Digital day one game prices take the absolute piss. No box, nothing physical, yet a ludicrous price. I’ll play it, but when it hits the sales. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggletooth Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Ditto, No physical release day 1 it wont get my support, shame it looks excellent, hopefully people vote with their wallet and dont support it out the gate, Publishers taking away more and more choice from gamers without passing on any of the benefits they reap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one-armed dwarf Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 I don't mean to play corp defense force, Blakey usually has that position covered. But they are saying that because it's a digital only title that it can release at a 'reduced' cost (or at least, that it won't cost 70 smackers) But yeah, no resale possibility. Reading between the lines and they are taking more money from people if that's how you buy and play games For me it doesn't affect much, the only physical system I have left is Switch. My other systems are digital ps5, pc, deck and oculus. For me it's more an issue of space and I don't have anywhere near me to trade stuff in anyway, or even buy physical games in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 This is coming out the exact same day I arrive in Japan and all my money is being saved for that, I would've been emphatically Day 1 if not, game looks phenomenal. If you use gift cards it'll probably come to the same price if not a little cheaper than the set price on PSN, usually ShopTo have some good deals on, others like CDKeys too. Just for an example I paid £20 less for my digital copy of Jedi Survivor Deluxe compared to if I'd of bought it physically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 EGS exclusive with it being Published by Epic unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Ok, so it is at a “reduced” price of £50, where most AAA digital games are £70+. I’m still not paying that for it though. Once it’s half that, then I’m interested. I typically get my games from Shopto, as I can pay it off in instalments. Something you can’t do with this.

DisturbedSwan Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 You can buy gift cards on ShopTo and then pay them off in instalments though, done it a couple of times myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
