Wake
Trash game and the only reason it didn't kill the studio was because Epic paid for it. So instead it cost them 1000 jobs.
Those motherfuckers creep me the fuck out. Great game, glad I gave it a second chance
>>750147486Remedy’s stronger than ever
>>750148141>no Old Gods in Control ResonantNah, they're in clear decline. This is a recession indicator.
I hope Remedy is able to make AW3 before they're shut down.
>>750148427That’s because Sam Lake wasn’t in Control of that game
I started playing AW2 after finishing Control 2, and it's kinda rough. Max Payne being her partner is funny but the writing is really awkward/weird which leads me to believe Saga and her partner were created by Alan Wake. since they don't seem really put-off by how weird the situation is.
>>750148670He didn't direct Control either.
>>750148834The Alan chapters are better than almost anything with Saga.>spoilerNot quite, but you're on the right track.
Honestly the game is atmosphere ludo even with all the woke nonsense. The Dark Place is so well done
>>750149028I liked the Coffee World chapter
>>750149156Name one thing that’s woke about it. And no, Saga being black is not woke.
>>750149243Anon I equally praised the game and criticised it, stop zeroing in on the one no-no word you don't like
>>750149550Don’t use woke where it doesn’t apply
>>750147153Nigger
Alan Woke 2
>>750149243>Saga being black is not wokeIt's a literal contract-mandated Sweet Baby alteration by literally Sweet Baby itself. The fact that Remedy managed to somewhat salvage it so it doesn't completely break their lore doesn't change that.
>>750147153This is the only console exclusive I want on PC.
>>750148427>no Old GodsGenuinely what the fuck. Not even just a repeat of a song?
>>750150254Still waiting to hear where the woke is
>>750150498She's a nigger
>>750150315Why does Aiden Gillian have a permanent smirk on his face?
>>750150573There it is. It was racism all along.
>>750150315No. They worked too hard on AW2 and couldn't be arsed this time.
>>750150257it's on PC bro
>>750148834Alan Wake 2 has a problem all around where every character acts like Neil Breen
>>750150718Only Alan Wake 1 is on GoG and Steam.
>>750150665She was a white woman turned into a nigger because Epic added a diversity consultancy firm as a condition to fund the game.>>750150257The game is on PC as a permanent Epic exclusive.You should just pirate it. It's what I did, and I bought every other Remedy game that ever came to PC.
>>750150853Stop saying nigger, Mulligan
>>750147153>tfw you figure out the shadows are all Alan
ALAN WAKE, THE WRITER
>>750151060no wonder he tries to kill him after fucking up his novel and replace him with a niggres
Alan Wake 1 Sam Lake hits different
>>750150665Yes
>>750147153
Why didn’t Alan just write a good escape plan sooner, is he stupid?
>>750151903Were they chuds?
>>750151913>And then scratch died with no way to come back and Alan escaped. The end.
>>750151980I dont remember
Do you read Sutter Cane?
>>750151913Because the game series operates on twilight zone logic and unless it doesn't contain a pseudophilosophic 50s noir spoop dilemma one will materialise from thin air.
>>750152186Doesn’t Door say Wake pulled the “muh rules” thing out of his ass?
>>750151913For fun.Lore wise it's because he's a retard who thinks writing needs to follow rules, and also doesn't want to accidentally fuck up and let Scratch out after he starts stalking Alice again.
>finished it a few hours ago>ITS NOT A LOOP ITS A SPIN>just play the whole game again to see the real ending browow, thanks sam lake, how exciting that i spent 30 hours where nothing actually got resolved and i have to do it again if i want to see a change
>>750152328New game plus has Doctor Darling tho
>>750150254I was expecting saga to start shitting on wake during the last part of the game, when he said to her shes the hero of the story. Honestly, was pleasantly surprised when she started cheering him up and hyping him.
>>750152284They changed how cauldron lake works at least 3 times till aw2 released and another 5 during aw2. It's not important why alan is retarded because it's self fullfilling retardation
What the fuck was up with that whole zane storyline? I feel like it got dropped halfway through and we barely got any info about it.Seems like its another Wake schizo episode, but it was kinda ignored after the cinema
>>750152632Zane is proto alan wake and wrote alan into existence because alan wrote zane writing alan into existence.
>>750150254>racist cops>redneck grandparent chased away my black father>throwaway line how the white people are keeping me downThat shit was so out of place and you can see how forced it was.
>>750152632New game plus implies Zane isn’t dead and he teams up with Darling
>>750147486Good game your post is stupid
>>750152328The changes are pretty minor until the actual ending so if you don't want to do a NG+ run just watch it on Youtube or something.Funny how people complain about that but call Yoko Taro a genius when you need to do 5 NG cycles to get a true ending in one of his joints.>>750152975Nobody wrote anybody into existence, the Dark Presence can't create new people or concepts out of nowhere, the only thing it can directly do to people is Take them.People who were saying back when Control came out that Alan wrote the Hiss into being or even Jesse/the FBC itself are vastly overestimating how much he can do, specially without the Clicker.
>>750150315The director said they didnt fit the tone of Dylan's more thoughtful story. There's still a lot of good music in it
>>750150726That's just them trying to copy Twin Peaks vibes where everyone is awkward and weird
Is American Nightmare considered canon? Why does Scratch go from an evil doppelgänger to a generic spooky cloud that can possess anyone?
>>750151913>>750152186According to Warlin Door Alan just makes all the dark place rules up because he's a retard. Saga just waltzed through the place. Tim Breaker didnt struggle as much either.
>>750153263Zane wrote a page of alan wake having the clicker in the early 70s and left it with the lamplady in the dam.
>>750152632It seems that Seine (the filmmaker) isn't the same Zane (the poet) that Alan met. Basically:>Seine meets Alan in the Dark Place, tries to work with him to write them both an escape that he can direct, combining their arts together so they both get out>Alan doesn't think either of them should get out, so Seine works with Scratch instead to write it, but Scratch betrays him and only writes himself outIt wouldn't shock me if Seine isn't actually Zane and is instead something akin to Scratch for Zane.
>>750153362Sam Lake tweeted that it was canon
>>750153213>Thornton and Mulligan are "racists" in one manuscript page, never brought up again>Saga complains about le evil whites in one line, never brought up again, in context it's not even her saying it>the Andersons hated Door because he's a power-hungry dimension hopperIt's kind of why I gave the game a pass despite the Sweet Baby connection. It was clearly forced on them and they went out of their way to underplay or recontextualize the race grifting at every step.Pretty telling that this is the only Remedy game so completely beholden to Epic Games and also, coincidentally, the only one that hired a consultancy firm and the only one where race-baiting bullshit is present in any way.
>>750153451It’s gonna be so good ten years from now when Remedy gets the Quantum Break license back and Tim can go back to being Jack Joyce.
>>750153362The Dark Presence puppeted Barbara Jaggers corpse around too. But according to AW2 Scratch is just a possessed Alan, so the version of Scratch Alan sees in American Nightmare is just his own psychological projection
>>750153362>Why does Scratch go from an evil doppelgänger to a generic spooky cloud that can possess anyone?American Nightmare has Alan destroy Scratch's physical form, so he's back into being this primordial Dark Place energy being without actual form.
>>750153461That doesn't mean he wrote Alan himself into being. Alan didn't write Casey the FBI agent into being either, despite having been writing about Casey the character long before he even came close to Cauldron Lake.
>>750153232>he missed the tape
>Finally get to make your Alan Wake sequel after 13 years>End it the exact same way as the first gameSam Lake you hack
>>750153661Zane vanished in the early 70s and handed the page to the lamp lady before he did for safekeeping. I remember they tried to somewhat retcon it but the retcon makes even less sense that's why I call it now that aw3 will be about alan being a self fullfilling paradox.
SHOW ME THE CLICKER
>>750153735Why retcon Tom from a wise mentor figure into Finnish Ozzy Osbourne?
>>750155035Idk it's weird, but it's a in-story retcon. Jesse and Cynthia Weaver both remember the original poet Zane instead of this one which means, just like Saga, they keep their original memories after Alan rewrites something.
You think if Matthew Poretta dies, they’ll let Ilkka take over as Alan’s va?
>>750155662He already voices Tom, wouldn't make much sense. Or would it make too much sense?
>>750153735>Wipes off the gunshot woundFucking kino. This whole scene was awesome. How Tom and Alan were fighting over who is tied to the chair and who is holding the gun.
>>750155804Live action Tom and Alan are both Ilkka, and I’m fucky expecting a revelation that both characters are the same person in the future.
>>750153735what the fuck indeed. alans wild schizo ride was pure kino, but sagas story really dragged, especially if you were hunting down collectibles.
>>750156192>When you hunt down all the charms to aid in combat but you haven’t seen an enemy for the last 3 hours
>>750156046>and I’m fucky expecting a revelation that both characters are the same person in the futureIn the 3rd night spring episode theres a brief comic panel where alan, scratch and zane are all standing next to each other implying they're the same person, so im pretty sure that was confirmed by the game itself. i was sure from the start scratch was just schizo alan, but that whole its a double chapters threw me for a loop
these guys literally havent made a good game since max payne 2
>>750156693That sounds like something Mr Scratch would say
>Appears>Aura farms>Dies>Appears again>Aura farms again>Dies againWhat the fuck was his problem?
>>750158551Don't answer that.A rhetorical question.
>>750159404I didn’t like the way the show started
>>750158551>>750159404Going from Max Payne 1 to Alan Wake 2 and hearing the decline in McCaffrey’s voice is sad
>>750148938He didn't direct it, but he was the main writer for Control.
>>750159824>didn’t direct No wonder Control cutscenes are so boring
Why did they completely assassinate him in Resonant?
>>750148494>Alan is so retarded that Alice had to go back to the Dark Place to bail him out
>>750161076>he trusted Underhill's boyfriendtsk tsk
>>750162392How could I not trust a man that buff?
