Alan Wake 2 hands-on preview

Whats that eye emoji is for? Hopefully DF already has the console versions and its actually good

They are covering PS5 version then doing platform comparisons later, per DF weekly agenda.

I wonder if that's a good or bad thing. For now, Sony has one console so devs can focus on it in stead of a lower entry sku.

Tbh I'm guessing not so good for Series console. It's virtually a given Series S version will not look very good at all. Who knows what negative impact the SS may have had on SX during development. Wouldn't be the first time, unfortunately.
 


Very few RTX off vs on comparisons though. Not sure if this is a good or a bad thing, but still doesn't help me decide where to pick the game up.
 
I'll wait to play this one, maybe December, for now I'm invested in Spider-Man 2 and I still have to finish Baldur's Gate 3 and Super Mario Wonder.
 
I have faith in Remedy.
Remedy makes beautiful and solid games. I think all versions will look good, and this is a really good looking game. Very atmospheric.
 
I really wanna root for this game but I'm baffled at the decision to go with dual protagonists. Remedy should give the female FBI agent her own game if they are confident in the character. That way we get twice as much Alan Wake in Alan Wake 2. What is it with developers today gerrymandering single protagonist, single perspective franchises with ensemble casts? It's particularly egregious when the main character has to split screen time down the middle in their own franchise.

Seriously,

When I play Spider-Man 2 I wanna play as Peter Parker…
When I play Alan Wake 2 I wanna play as Alan Wake…

Who cares about Saga Anderson or Miles Morales? Give them their own games if you think they will sell.

If its done well then I dont mind that at all....I enjoyed it in Nier Automata and in Vanillaware games like Odin Sphere, Muramasa and 13 Sentinels.

Maybe play the game first and see how it is before making final judgment.

Can ask something out of curiosity, why do you guys care so much what resetera does? Who care about them or any other gaming forums.

I see too many people linking their stuff here.....why?
 
Seems AW2 will have pretty great dualsense implementation (Control was already good at this), plus it will function on PC as well.



Way to go! It's always baffling to me when devs support the DualSense features on PS5 but somehow don't support it on PC. You already did the work on the PS5 version, just port that shit to PC for heaven's sake! So good on Remedy here. I was already going to buy the game but I'm really happy to see they supporting the DualSense on PC.

That's the first time I've ever been on that website. But you're missing the point:

We usually have a "Review Prediction" thread by now

I'd argue Spiderman 2 it makes sense to do what they did after Miles has had his own game. I think it's cool actually.

With Spiderman 2 it's obvious how much they want to appeal to black gamers. Nothing wrong with that until they start going woke with the spanglish and beating MJ's face in with a stick.

I'm annoyed by Alan Wake 2 tho.

Because all converstaion towards this game is all about graphics ever since people saw the PC requirements.

Normally I can't wait for the game

In this case, I can't wait for the reviews. Because I need to know if this is going to be great on day one on a PS five.

I guess its time to bring out that USB-C cable cuz all I want is the haptics.......when is Sony gonna unleash haptics over bluetooth for PC!!!!

If adding full DualSense support for PC via Bluetooth isn't technically possible Sony should release a USB dongle. They've released one for DS4 and it wasn't even necessary so they should make one for the DualSense. I would buy it in a heartbeat. I love the DualSense features but using a controller wired in 2023 really sucks.

AW2 review + prediction thread is up! :D

 
I legitimately buy more of my games for consoles than i do on my PC even when they're available on both. I prefer console gaming but for certain types of titles I do enjoy a PC experience.
I used too , but my pc is more powerful then my ps5 and having the choice to play games at a higher resolution and higher frame rate is a no brainer for me !
 
So lower price for the game, better graphic, better res, better framerate vs an immersive dildo?

If this was the movie sophie's choice, it would end in 30 sec.
Dualsense adds a lot.
In AW1, you have a stop half way on the left trigger before flashlight battery usage triggers.
Not to mention all the amazing haptics.

Yes. I take immersion and playing the game over selling my souls for 4$ less on fucking epic.

Better resolution and framerate on pc? Sure but I don't care. Not sure my pc is up to the task anyway
