Alan Wake 2 to use Windows Phone 7?

EG: The way Remedy's talking, Alan Wake 2 could have some nifty Windows Phone 7 crossover going on.That's assuming of course that the studio's next big console project is Alan Wake 2, and that Microsoft dictates that Windows Phone 7 be used and not iPhone.

I am happy to hear that they are making a second Alan Wake. I still need to finish playing the first one!

darthv725619d ago

There have been a few other games with console-portable connectivity but just not at the ratio I would expect. I actually like it if there is some special interaction between the console version of a game and its handheld counterpart.

More games need the type of link like windwaker had with the gba and resistance for the psp had with the ps3. Those are just a couple but I wish there really were more.

DS and wii were supposed to get cross play games or at least be able to unlock bonus stuff in one from having played the other. If MS is making AW2 and will have some type of link up to a WP7 then count me in. Need to get a WP7 first.

DarkBlood5619d ago

no indication of a ps3 version looks like it will go alongside my 360 collection along with the first, such a good game with a looping ending twist

Acquiescence5619d ago

I enjoyed the game, but it's not exactly associated with success is it, at least from a commercial standpoint. If Microsoft are willing to give Remedy a second chance on the series though, that's good I guess.

Can't help but wish Remedy would buy the rights to Max Payne back from Rockstar though, and give us the proper third game we all crave.

Thats what I thought... :/

Still. A sequel would bring so much joy.

One more achievement to get argggg

Kran5619d ago

which one is that? I have all 1500G :D

Workshyskiver5619d ago

The second round of dlc achievements drove me crazy, the one where you couldn't die- It would come to the jumping from Household appliances part and I just couldn't make it through without falling into the abyss. Eventually got it though.

TheCagyDies5619d ago

This is the achievement that I am taking about.

Alan Wake 2's Upgraded PSSR Delivers A Vast Improvement

DF: "Alan Wake 2 is one of our games of the generation - a proper technical showcase - but with the arrival of Sony's upgraded PSSR upscaler, it's also a key proving ground for the capabilities of the revised technology. In its 60fps performance mode, the game's complex foliage, dense geometry and demanding lighting are paired with an internal 864p resolution, upscaled to 4K. It's a challenge that the original PSSR couldn't handle, sometimes comparing unfavourably with the original FSR2. However, the upgraded PSSR is a revelation by comparison."

I've already completed this game and everything else there is to do in it sadly, so I have no need to go back and enjoy the added enhancements that the new PSSR brings to this game. But I definitely want to go back and check out Control as I still haven't finished up all the DLC for that yet.

Ashunderfire8674d ago

O definitely do Control is a longer game than Alan Wake 2! Plus there is an Alan Wake tie in with Control, plus you face off against a scary boss! That guy was hard asf man.

Jesse Faden the main character, has so many upgrades to her movesets, and object of power gun. Playing this game now to prepare for Control Resonant.

Cacabunga73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

It’s a terrible and boring game.
No way I will ever go back to it . I really do not like Remedy’s touch

Kornholic74d ago

Sadly? You mean you can't replay a game just for the fun of it?

Neonridr73d ago

I've played through the game numerous times. It was my favorite game of 2023. I have so many other games to play. Could I go back and play it for a few minutes to appreciate some extra clarity in the distance? Sure. Would I rather play a game I haven't finished or played yet and enjoy the PSSR updates brought to those titles instead? Yes.

isarai_lee73d ago

I mean im kinda with Neonridr on this, like when i game is so good you get everything you can out of it, a slightly shaper image is cool but not worth the hassle of install/update etc

andy8574d ago (Edited 74d ago )

It's mad they can take a 864p image and make it close to a 4K image. This tech is gonna do so much for console gaming

fr0sty73d ago (Edited 73d ago )

the crazier part is, sometimes enabling this kind of AI upscaling tech actually produces a BETTER image than natively rendering at 4K (and to be clear, I'm not talking about DLSS5's AI slop that takes creativity away from the game developers).

isarai_lee73d ago

That's just outright not true

andy8573d ago

Dunno why you're getting downvotes there is actually instances of this happening. Stellar Blade being one of them. DF reported the PSSR mode looks better than the native 4K mode. Im assuming its PSSR from 1440p or higher. So imagine with the 2.0 update

__y2jb73d ago

Strange that the other story on the frontpage with AI upscaling involved is receiving a hugely negative response in the comments but a Playstation AI upscaler story...well that's just great!

isarai_lee73d ago

No it's still bad, just not nearly as egregious, but there's definitely a sizeable (and growing) group of gamers who dislike any TAA/DLSS/AI upscale in general, myself included. Every time there's some update to one of these upscaling methods I roll my eyes because only when we improve from the issues can we address the issues, but when talking outside of an improvement or update suddenly there's no issues and we're The crazy ones for criticizing AI upscaling

andy8573d ago

That's because one is changing the art (characters faces) and one is making things look sharper. Isnt because it's PlayStation.

Explore the Oldest House and Bright Falls with a new level of visual fidelity.

mkis00779d ago

Such a weird post by them. Apparently they just mean the system wide toggle. Which is perfectly fine. This is based off a post they made after this post.

Eonjay79d ago

Not sure what's weird about that. The update being system wide is basically free marketing for any game using the tech. I assume they already have access to the update and are happy with the results.

mkis00779d ago

Its Just the wording, as they didnt have to do any work for it to be supported.

jznrpg79d ago

Why is it weird for a dev to let people know their game runs better now? If they didn’t mention it that would be weird

mkis00779d ago

I just mean they worded it like they did a custom thing...which they could do by tweaking base resolution if the upgraded pssr allows it with no image drawbacks. I'd be down for that.
