[RJMacready73]

looks great, definitely up for more Alan Wake after replaying the remastered version again

 

[Kataploom]

I need a console, damn...

 

[LectureMaster]

Looks kinda mid to me.

 

[rofif]

Not feeling it

 

[FearlessBelgian]

Epic games store exclusive

 

[Flabagast]

a little disappointing tbh

 

[rapid32.5]

They don't use the flashlight mechanic anymore to stun the enemies?

 

[\m/etalStorm]

Gives me RE2 Remake vibes. Looks good so far!

 

[01011001]

They don't use the flashlight mechanic anymore to stun the enemies?

well apparently you do, but differently, it seems like you do some special attacks with it... weird, but that gameplay was super non-telling.

 

[SALMORE]

Good thing that they kept the flashlight mechanic can't wait to play it

 

[Kikorin]

I can't wait to see the Alan Wake gameplay, but since is Remedy, I'm completely sure I'll love it. Alan Wake, Control, Max Payne are some of my favourite games ever and are all from Remedy, only time I've been a little bit disappointed has been Quantum Break, but is still a game I enjoyed a lot.

Epic is the publisher, so it's fair

 

[Elginer]

Gimme

 

[Moses85]

Only digital….

 

[The Infectious Paradox]

I liked it. I'd like to see more. I like how it gave the dingy crime ridden area vibe. Kinda reminded me of Condemned in that way. Boy I miss that game.

 

[Freeman76]

I thought the first one was pretty overrated, but I did like the setting. This looks alright but its a wait for gamepass job for me

 

[Bartski]

I was hoping for a more extended showing, looks great regardless easily game of the show for me

 

[EddieVanHelgen]

Does free to switch mean you can just play the full game as Alan?

 

[balls of snow]

They don't use the flashlight mechanic anymore to stun the enemies?

They do right. She only does damage after the flahlight high beamed the darkness away.

 

[Skitso]

Sam seemed really nervous on stage. Poor guy was shaking.

Anyways... did you guys notice the really nice bullet impact wounds on the deer dude? This game might have some Dead Island 2 style gore tech too...

in general, looked really promising and a clear high point of the show. Will be there day 0 like always with Remedy.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

This is current gen only right?

 

[Fbh]

Looks good but I was hoping to see something besides that cabin sequence which they already showed (in trailer format)

 

[Diddy X]

Looks like RE remakes but worse, maybe they need to show more.

 

[semiconscious]

I was hoping for a more extended showing, looks great regardless easily game of the show for me

we are dozens!...

 

[Ywap]

Looking good! Alan 1 nailed the atmosphere but the combat were lacking imo. If they can improve in that area it could be a great game

 

[Darsxx82]

It looks great, but I think it's too REvil for my taste.

That being said, it's Alan Wake, I'll definitely be playing It on Day One.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Looking forward to it.

 

[Fools idol]

is the DLC for the first game worth going back for?

 

[The Cockatrice]

Prolly day one. Will see.

 

[Saber]

A bit dissapointing to be honest... but ok.

 

[SegaManAU]

I told you last time! NO PHYSICAL, NO BUY!

Looked ok to me, not sure I'll jump in right away.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I think graphically it looks damn good. On the level of Callisto Protocol. Hopefully better than Callisto when its seen in person. Better than the Resi Evil remakes. Probably won't look this good in performance mode tho which sucks. There might be some survival horror/3rd person up-close camera burnout tho amongst gamers tho.

 

[simpatico]

Bummer they shoehorned in a new player character.

 

[A Most Virtuous Cat]

Bummer they shoehorned in a new player character.

My complaint as well.

 

[Flabagast]

Not really. It hace nice gameplay ideas but it is all over the place and they barely advance the story

 

[FoxMcChief]

I'm in.

 

[GymWolf]

It looks ok.

 

[Dr. Claus]

Give me a physical and I will be in day one. Until then, piss off.

 

[Insane Metal]

Looks awesome. Love the way the leaves flew with the wind.

 

[Apocryphon]

Character models look pretty good. Her hair looks great. Animations are hugely better than the original/remastered.

Environment looks ok. I like the art direction, but it doesn't seem any more detailed than something like TLOU Part 2. It certainly doesn't look much better than RE2R. That said, it depends what they do with it and how much physics interaction there is. Lighting looks good.

Dialogue is meh. I love Remedy but I hate the writing in their games

Sam made it sound like you start as the FBI chick, then part way in you can switch between her and Alan. I don't think it's freely switchable like GTA 5 because he talked about interaction points… but it also sounded like once you get to a certain point you can switch to Alan and play his story through to almost the end. I'm guessing if you don't keep switching the story still progresses for both characters and you just miss out on the other side of the events.

Need to see more. They haven't really shown us anything interesting yet… but I do appreciate the lack of post processing in her gameplay. Hopefully it isn't horrendous while playing as Alan in the Dark Place… but I bet it will be.

 

[K' Dash]

I'll buy anything Remedy makes.

Day one.

 

[Ozriel]

Remedy makes these games for much cheaper than other AAA titles. Control had a 30 million euro budget, for example.

Feels like a smart way to run a studio, so a bit surreal seeing people complain about the visuals here. Especially when it's $60

 

[VeganElduderino]

looks fucking good , I'm in

 

[abstract alien]

Never got around to the first, but is it an actual survival horror, or a survival action with a ton of ammo like RE4?

 

[TheZink]

I'm not an expert on the genre but Alan Wakes ammo is pretty limited.

 

[Crispy Gamer]

Wasn't impressive at all hopefully we can see a more extended demo before release

 

[abstract alien]

I'm not an expert on the genre but Alan Wakes ammo is pretty limited.

Thanks. That's more interesting than the ammo filled variants.

 

[Represent.]

No 4K trailer? The quality is awful
