I've seen some scrrenshots, it's a remaster and not a remake, so this is not true. Same engine with updated lighting, textures and models.

 

[LimanimaPT]

How about new games?
It's remaster this remaster that, director cut this director cut that, remake this remake that...

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Ugh, more 30fps.

That's what I think when I see raytracing on a spec sheet now.

 

[Kenpachii]

This game needs RT because of lights and shadows. Its a no brainer. Absolute zero point to remake it without it.

Yes, everyone hated it before.

Ugh, more frame rate snobs.

That's what I think when I see comments like yours.

 

[El Pistolero]

Was the first one any good?

I have read mostly positive reviews/opinions on the game.

 

[Tg89]

Was the first one any good?

Nah, not really. Wasn't bad, but absolutely forgettable. We've certainly reached the point where most games worth remastered have been remastered.

Not the Infamous series

 

[mckmas8808]

So this is a remake, not a remaster?

Sounds like it.

 

[sinnergy]

I bought it on ebay when it was on sale for an actual dollar and felt like I wanted my money back

The story while it had potential was super tedious, game is repetitive as all hell, generic enemies,
crap camera and just BORING overall which was a shame because its not a 'bad' game halfway decent rental I guess replay value is next to nill even if someone did enjoy it...IMO

Alan Wake getting a remake feels like scraping the bottom of the barrel

Right .. to bad you played it 13 years to late controls weren’t that different fro. Other games in that era .

 

[sublimit]

A crappy game is still a crappy game.

 

[bender]

Was the first one any good?

The game play is dull and the battery mechanic is not only annoying but one of the worst product advertisements of all time. Luckily the game is short and the narrative should carry you through. Barry was way too good for this game.

 

[GymWolf]

This one is gonna benefit a lot from raytraced lights\shadows.

 

[Fake]

Sounds like it.

People are always getting confused about what is a remake and what is not.


This still a remaster.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

This should of been Max Payne. Why did the sell Payne! God dammit.

 

[Great Hair]

Average - atmosphere was great and some of the scenes in game were amazing but main gimmick of using flashlight got old really quickly.
Not even close to remedy best times with Max Payne 1&2.

Still better than Cristofer Walt´s weird biogame ...

 

[M1chl]

Praise the sun.

But next Control pls.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Was the first one any good?

If you like games where you run out of ammo a lot and the protagonist is so out of shape he can't run 10m without being totally fucked, then this is the game for you!

 

[Dr.Morris79]

is so out of shape he can't run 10m without being totally fucked

...Thats me. Although I normally fluster out at 7.

 

[Jack Uzi]

Where’s the guy that said this would be graphically the same as control if not better?

 

[Andodalf]

Ugh, more frame rate snobs.

That's what I think when I see comments like yours.

So it's snobby to want playable games, but not for a game to look a bit nicer.

30fps isn't playable now? News to me.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

Ha! That's fine, I don't mean to upset anyone, I just can't be doing with 30fps now, it's been something I've wanted to see the back of for ages, I'd much rather they sacrificed any other feature to keep the framerate at 60fps.
TBH, higher than 60fps doesn't do much for me so I might have to hand my framerate snob card in!

I played Control's raytracing mode for a couple of minutes and had to put it back to 60fps, it doesn't matter how shiny it is to me, if it's 30fps it's too smeary and blurred for me to feel like it's worth the trade off.

 

[nikolino840]

Seems american nightmare...so no rt or cool features

 

[Mister Wolf]

It needs raytraced emissive lighting and GI.

 

[Danknugz]

would be nice to have a proper full fledged sequel because the first was good but the whole david lunch twin peaks ode was a little underwhelming and always wished to see that fleshed out more.

 

[pqueue]

despite all its flaws, still better than Death Stranding.

To be fair though, Control is a very blurry and smeary game at 30fps. Something with the motion blur and the reconstruction technique they're using for ray tracing makes everything look ultra smeary. Rift Apart wasn't nearly as bad as that.
