Alan Wake 2

Sam Lake:

Shoots ongoing with our stellar cast of actors. We’ve written a ton of pages with
@yourpalclay, more than ever, I think (this story is a monster). More to come still after a short summer break from this dark place called the writers’ room.

Gridknac1328d ago

Well to be honest, the story was the "monster" in the first one! LOL

ShadowWolf7121328d ago

More a conduit for it, really.

RaidenBlack1328d ago

This gen is doing the AAA horror resurgence just fine.
Keep 'em coming.

sourOG1328d ago

Condemned criminal orgins remaster would be sick. I don’t even remember who made that game lol. But Xbox should fund that exclusive again. I would prefer multi platform but a Publisher is going to have to kickstart that dead franchise or it won’t happen at all. MS did it for 360, I don’t even think that launched on PC but I could be wrong. I know bloodshot was multi

RaidenBlack1328d ago

Monolith. And their iconic lithtech engine.
Criminal Origins was on PC. Not knowing what I was getting into, I got pretty scared whilst playing the game.
The dumbed down sequel, Bloodshot was console exclusive.
Sadly they've moved on. No more games from the iconic FEAR, NOLF or Condemned franchises.
Now they're doing strictly WB licensed games. Mordor and now the upcoming Wonder Woman title.

The creepiest game I've ever played. Literally the only game that had me legitimately "scared" while playing.

What they did with audio and visual to amplify the atmosphere of insanity was superb.

sourOG1328d ago (Edited 1328d ago )

Monolith that’s right. Condemned and fear to Wonder Woman lol… explains why I forgot. Well now we know who Ms needs to buy next. Pick up netherrealm and save rocksteady while your at it.

@baba
Same here. My favorite horror game easily.

@Raidenblack
And even worse, no good sequel to Blood.

They have a great catalog, a shame it's going to waste.

More pages = better story? Have I just awaken from a 20yr coma?

FlavorLav011327d ago

Have some faith in Sam Lake. What game has he failed to deliver on an amazing an original experience. He’s one of the few with an untarnished resume.

A Late Look: Alan Wake 2

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "In retrospect it’s not hard to see why some people were insistently raving about this game at the end of a year as star-packed as 2023, because even among that pack it stands out as, if perhaps not the best, then certainly the boldest. Its gameplay is what it is - sometimes great, sometimes a bit underwhelming compared to everything else - but its writing and atmosphere (and soundtrack) are simply exceptional, and it’s certainly a game that has to be experienced by any longtime fans of storytelling in games."

Yeah a game without Alan Wake….for the most part

Coincidentally, I finished my play through and got the platinum trophy last night in Wake 2. Personally, I thought it was a fantastic game. Spooky at times, made me jump a bunch of times, intriguing story and such a weird but fun sense of humour. I loved it, among my favourite games I have played this year.

Storm2383d ago

It's on my list of games to play (which is way too big). Might need to play it soon. Sounds awesome.

KwietStorm_BLM83d ago

All the people who passed on this masterpiece are lost.

repsahj83d ago

This is what I am playing on my PS5 right now. Great game but I still prefer RE series.

LoveSpuds83d ago

Modern Resi games in particular have been pretty incredible, amazing how consistent the quality has been since Resi 7 really.

repsahj83d ago

Agreed, that is why I am so excited for Requiem. But this time, I will play it on Switch 2.

Dark-soul83d ago

Legendary game, if not buldurs gate 3 this would have won game of the year

Cool, Alan Wake2 I still need to try out the first one. GOAT Simulator didn’t know they even made more after the first one, I’ll give it a go for a few minutes I guess. Not sure what Cocoon is, will have to look it up. Regardless they all will be added to my library.

SonyStyled148d ago

You mean you missed GOAT 2 after the massive success of GOAT 1 and it’s DLC stories 😱

Just jump into GOAT 3 and it’ll make sense (or not, up to you as a goat).

Storm23148d ago

Alan Wake 2 and Cocoon were on my list of games to play so this month is awesome for me.

jznrpg148d ago

Pretty good month. I never played a goat simulator game. I would try it if I didn’t always have a massive backlog of games I really want to play. Maybe someday.
