Alan Wake Remastered coming to Nintendo Switch

I thought Alan Wake sucked big time. Was thrilled to play it after reading nothing but praise over the years, but what a let down.
 
Only saw vids of the game. All I remember is a dark game where you flashlight enemies over and over again. Not sure if there is more to the game, but thats all I remember.
 
Since it has a lot of dark scenes it will probably look really nice on the OLED.


I wonder if the remaster version on switch will look worse than the original.

I don't see why it would. Most Ps3/360 era games that have been ported to Switch run better on it (at least in docked mode)
 
The short clip Remedy showed of Alan Wake on the Switch looked like it was running at 12fps. I'm going to assume it's a native port they're working on.
 
One of the biggest letdowns I've experienced in gaming... after spending years hearing of how good it was I finally got the remaster on Playstation and it's mediocre at best.
 
Control is the best game they ever made

I enjoyed Alan Wake on 360 but I wasn't much of fan of remaster when I played it on my PS5. To me combat didn't age well and I'm not fan of Alan's new face.

Original game on 360 already didn't have good facial expression and animation but this time try make the face more realistic without improving expression which made things much worse in my opinion.

It was my favorite MS game on Xbox 360. It was repetitive and flawed but despite that it nailed the atmosphere. I could never get into another Remedy game after that.

Resident Evil 5 and 6 looks and runs better on Xbox 360.

I'm sure it can "run" the game.
But that's about the extent of it.
No they didn't re6 is more stable on switch
re5 in 360 runs at 30 pretty well with that super narrow field of view, put switch in that fov and it runs better
And both run at 2.2 times the resolution of the 360

Maybe so but is still quite jarring compared to other versions.
It'd be better if it was optimized for and less ported to.

If they could get it to run 60fps at 1080p without scaling the resolution giving it a Vaseline look it'd be much more acceptable.
 
At least they didn't play Quantum Break.
The time mechanics are pretty cool but the movement and controls are pretty clunky. Also the PC port sucks. In general it needs a lot more polish.

Alan wake, the original and the dlc, I enjoy quite a bit. "Remaster" should be avoided.

I think it would've been more fair had I mentioned the pc version.
Like is the remastered version better optimized than the earlier released pc version?
