No Sam, thank YOU
thank you for being you
Thank you for giving us these stories, stories that stick with us for so long. Characters that make us hold our breath when we hear them again.
Thank you for making the world a better place with your and your team's art.
Thank you Sam... From all of us, Thank you.
👌👌
Characters like the squeaky piano man from Max Payne 2.
I wanted to say Thank You to Sam - but this comment has already done that. Speaks volumes about the love and respect he and his team have come to command! And rightfully so!
I'm still processing the fact that Alan Wake 2 is official. I can't wait to play it! Thank you guys for making it a reality!
It is so hard to believe. Most anticipated game ever for me forsure.
Im still processing that Max Payne is real!
@@MrEp5 now if they would only make a remake of the games and if the somehow pushed rockstar into remastering Max Payne 3 while we wait the next two years….
Now THAT would be AWESOME
@@locdogsgg9135 remaster of max payne 3?! ugh no please no.. they butchered the original. But whatever..
@@locdogsgg9135 Does Remedy even hold rights on Max Payne brand anymore?
Man, you can tell these guys really care about Alan Wake a lot. I mean you can see the care in all their games. But I feel like Alan Wake is their baby. It's crazy it's taken us this long to get a new one but. I'm just thrilled to see it happening. Control with the AW tie ins got me so hyped.
One of the few game development teams that still has that old school approach.... amazing team of developers. One of the best in the world really.
100% one of the best 👌
Let’s just take good care of them
@@DeepDarkBoys you guys work with remedy
@@alokkumar5123 dude I wish!!!! I just make vids about Alan Wake because I love this developer. My goal is to grow my channel enough by the time the sequel launches to maybe get an advance copy for review and early impressions 😄
@@DeepDarkBoys don't you do voice acting ,you told that in one of the qna video,did you ever tried asking them if there is a job for voice acting.I think it will be very cool
I legit screamed when I saw Bright Falls a bit during the trailer. I knew what it was. I knew what was coming. Then all I needed was the title card. “ALAN WAKE II” popped up and I cried and screamed.
My favorite Xbox 360 game and still my favorite game of all time, one of the first few games I 100% on is now getting the sequel it deserves. Thank you Remedy and thank you Sam Lake. I cannot wait to play the next chapter of Alan Wake and see what is in store for both the character and now franchise.
I immediately recognized Alan's voice and wanted to scream! i was jumping from the chair
i feel the same way
I screamed so loud during the announcement my roommate came into my room to see if I was okay. This has been my most anticipated sequel since I was 16 years old, I can't express the amount of joy the first game has brought me.
Fr bro I was blown away by the interesting and unique story of Alan Wake 1 can’t wait to see how this plays out.
So excited for this, Control was my GOTY of 2019, an extension of everything Remedy had developed before and learnt from and I just know with the same vision, passion and excitement they brought to that, that this too will be a continued evolution of that. So excited to hear more and finally get my hands on it. Thank you Remedy for existing
Alan Wake is in Control. There’s even a DLC dedicated to him
@@scuppo more that that, we can also see AWE graffiti in Quantum Break. It's all connected somehow, that's insane. Control is just phenomenal as Twin Peaks S3
@@ek2who oh yeah, it's a whole Remedyverse
I honestly love every game you guys have made since max Payne. So, if you have a chance one day, and you think you will be able to do it, will you buy rights from Microsoft and continue the quantum break story? It was more like a film to me consisting of several episodes, and I want the second season.
control was pretty good, but not phenomenal
whoa, just connected that "monsters wear many faces" with the core mechanic of shining light on things, and the "stay in the light" catchphrase. and ... suddenly convinced we'll shine flashlights on people to reveal a different face, and super hyped.
Alan Wake is one of those rare games you can go back to years after beating it and still get sucked right back into it. There's a charm to it , tihe setting, the great GREAT writing, the nods to Twin Peaks and Twilight Zone Alan Wake has its own flavor just like Silent Hill and Resident Evil do. I'm so glad to be able to enjoy looking forward to this, if this sequel weren't being made it would've been a bunch of fans or community much like the Silent Hill community a devout and loyale fanbase that would be replaying the old games until the end of time, loving them but always wondering what could have been. Glad we will finally be able to enjoy Alan Wake 2. P.s so happy to hear they're going balls deep into survival horror with this one!
I'm so happy i could cry
Best game news this year. When I saw the trailer, I was so happy that I cried, keep up the good work 💜
I'm absolutely sure that Alan Wake 2 will be a masterpiece that will never be repeated...
Thank you, Sam Lake, and the crew for your great work... Keep up excellent work and quality...
I can see how much care is going into Alan Wake 2. These guys care and respect their games and fans. That is rare these days. Bring out the best version of Alan Wake 2. Take all the time you guys need. We'll be waiting patiently.
As soon as I heard Alan voice I was like HOLY SHIT IT'S ALAN WAKE 2!!!!
I can't stress how much I love Alan Wake but also Remedy. I've kept up to date with them ever since I played Alan Wake in 2011. After they announced Alan Wake 2 about 40 minutes after I got a reply to an old tweet I made in 2016 asking for a sequel, Remedy replied with the announce trailer and I couldn't stop smiling. I adore this company so much and cannot wait to see where the story goes from here. 🖤🔦☕ Also bringing back my boy Ilkka Villi 💙
Thank You Remedy for making great games, interacting with the fans and keeping us updated.
Alan wake will always be one of my all time favourites, I played it with my grandad when it first released, he loved the story.. then I re brought the remastered edition and got the plat. Just want say thank you for giving me some of the happiest memories with my late grandad. Can’t wait for Alan wake 2!
Sam, I can't say enough about thanking you. All Remedy games are TOP for me, but Alan Wake touched my soul. A sequel to me is one of the biggest dreams in the video game universe. I look forward to the sequel very happy and of course to know more about Control in the future, as it seems like a masterpiece to me as well.
This is the love and care most game companies seem to lack. Take your time Remedy. I can’t wait to play out your vision fully realized.
this is so beautiful to watch. i have tears in my eyes... again. thank you so much
I actually teared up a little at Sam's comments in the last shot! The world of Alan Wake and the character himself means a lot to me and I'm absolutely thrilled we're finally getting a sequel.
Good job Remedy, making me cry again :) I rarely being so excited about something. But you guys always deliver, so I can sleep soundly knowing professionals are at work here. Good luck and can't wait for more info next summer!
Over the last years many veteran game studios, once great and loved, have become a disappointment: BioWare, Blizzard, CD Projekt Red, Rockstar and so on...
I really do hope it will never happen to you, because you're one of these few studios that I still respect and have all the best wishes for. I grew up with Max Payne, became a bit more adult with Alan Wake and thoroughly enjoyed Control. Thank you for all these experiences and good luck, Remedy! May AW2 be a truly great and memorable game!
Whos here after beating Alan Wake 2? Thank you Sam! You are a treasure
I almost ended up crying watching this. Guys, you're really something special! I can feel how grateful you are and how much you care about making this art called videogames. Love you all!
Man, the passion you guys put into your projects is admirable. It is really heart warming to see the sheer joy on Sam talking about Alan Wake 2. And I couldn't be happier! Will be buying day one. In Remedy we trust!
So emotional. What a journey and what a dream remedy get to make this sequel after all these years. You can tell from the massive reaction that Alan Wake fans would honestly wait a century for a sequel!
Hope the Old Gods of Asgard write the soundtrack for Alan Wake 2
I’m a big fan of Max Payne since 2001. My parent’s bought me a PC that time, and that was my first game.
NOW, I’m 25, played all the big Remedy games and can’t wait for AW2.
Sam, Good Luck with the project. Can’t believe that I have been knowing your face for 19 years!
Thank you Sam and everyone at Remedy for everything you have done and for not giving up all these years
Still in shock Alan Wake 2 is real.
I had a feeling when the remaster came out that Remedy was testing the waters and getting others caught up. I myself played this for the first time finally with the remaster and loved it. Went back and played American Nightmare, than platinum’d Control, then played Quantum Break which I also loved. Was really looking forward to whatever Remedy did next and was stunned and hyped to see it actually was Alan Wake 2. Could not be more excited for this. I grew up with and loved Max Payne. And you guys have won over a fan for life for sure.
This really made me emotional. Remedy is one of my favorite developers of all time and I'm so glad you appreciate the passion of your fans. There were times I thought this sequel would never happen due to silly legal shenanigans, so this still feels unreal. Just knowing that you're officially working on this makes me feel I could gladly wait for as long as it needs. Thank you Sam and everyone else in the team for being so passionate and continuing to push the envelope in interactive storytelling.
Love you guys. Always making masterpieces
One of the many reasons to love Remedy, videos like this one. I basically replay all of Remedy's games like every year, but Alan Wake is my absolute favorite, the remaster is great, and hopefully you guys have a lot of fun making the sequel as good as it should be, which I have no doubt it'll be.
I still can't believe it has passed over 10 years. My life and I have changed a lot since I played the last game. The way it impacted me, and the story I watched changed me, as if the story you guys wrote changed my reality like Alan changed his. After 10 years, I can't feel like a sequel is coming, but more like a new thing is been born. I don't what to come back to 10 years ago, and it feels like I can't anymore.
Alan Wake was a cult classic and has stood the test of time. Meanwhile, you as a studio has evolved and explored new grounds with Quantum Break, Control or even Crossfire X. All this great experience along with the fantastic Northlight engine will make this turn out amazing. Remedy's games always has this thing that I can't quite put my finger on, but it makes them so engaging, memorable and unique, which puts you in a standout spotlight from the rest, because you know something the others don't.
Big respects to all of you and you are the game developer pride of Scandinavia! Good luck, I can't wait!
Imagine being the person in 2012 saying, “please don’t make me wait another 2 years”. And then finding out you’ll actually be waiting another 10.
Oh boy, another dev diary. The one for Control was fun. I hope this one is even more in depth. The way you guys make games is special and I love seeing how things went on the road to release!
Thanks Sam! It is nice that we have you and Remedy. Show everyone else how games are done, how stories are told and how the game experience is presented. I lost faith in many other companies but I have and will never lose that in you.
It s a one of best new ever
We love Alan Wake
Thank you Sam💝
I am so happy that Alan Wake 2 id really being made. Remedy games are a one of kind experience. Trully great games.
The look of pure joy on Sam Lake's face after he says "we're about to announce Alan Wake II" is absolutely priceless. Control was my first Remedy Game, was excited when Alan Wake Remastered happened, and am dreading that I have to wait until 2023 to play Alan Wake II, but I know that I can trust all of the amazing talent at Remedy and that the wait for the game will be well worth it. Keep up the great work, stay happy, stay healthy, and know that your community loves you.
Well having just finished Alan Wake 2, Sam you guys did indeed make it truly special. It absolutely blew me away, a remarkable achievement. So thank you Remedy it was worth the wait. Get ready to go back to the VGAs in a few months, have a feeling you guys will be winning a few.
The news of Alan Wake 2 got me so hyped and I'm even more hyped knowing the direction they're taking the franchise in.
I'm so excited about this game. Alan Wake and Alan Wake: American Nightmare were two of my favorite games, and when I played Control's new DLC and heard Alan's voice for the first time, I knew we had something amazing coming. Cannot wait to enjoy Alan's journey once more.
This comment section is filled with fans and I freaking love it
How endearing it is to see the love and care they have for their work and characters, as well as for their fans! Seeing Sam thank all towards the end has me tearing up! How much we love to see Max Payne talk about his other creations! Love, respect, and appreciation for you Sam Lake for being you and creating what you do!
Thank you and you’re team for making this a reality.
I have my coffee, my flashlight and my flare gun ready to step in to an ocean of darkness.
Ready to bring back Alan in to the light.
We can't wait! You guys are one of the most inspiring devs!
I'm not even sure if it was intentional, but I so appreciate Sam dressing like Dale Cooper during the TGA announcement. Alan Wake is what introduced me to Twin Peaks, and I'm forever grateful for that.
Sam's excitement is contagious! This was great, thanks for filming this :D
Alan wake, QB, Control - All in the same LORE! Thank you Sam Lake and Remedy for creating those fascinating stories! ESPECIALLY ALAN WAKE! Take as much time as you need to perfect the game! Please don't rush! The fanbase is patient and excited! thank you
They don't have the rights to QB so just these two for now
12 years and one of my dreams has become true. 🥺
I started playing Alan Wake Remastered like 2 days before the announcement by chance. It was the greatest surprise. Thank you for continuing one of my favorite games of all time!
i spit out my black coffee when i saw the announcement trailer posted on the subreddit
I have been waiting for this game for 11 years. I can't believe this is finally happening. My favourite game of all time is getting a sequel. Remedy, take all the time you need.
Big fan of Alan wake. Looking forward to changes from first game .
I’m from Russia, Alan wake was my great childhood, I’m so excited for it!!! Thanks remedy for your great work! Thanks Sam)
I'm replaying the remaster of og Alan Wake what a game man 😭 lol Can't wait for the next one!
Congratulations on your achievement! This announcement made my year!
Devs with real passion and wanting quality of quantity. These are the people who should be getting our money.
I am waiting for Alan Wake 2 since 2010 and now the time has finally come!!! Take my money!!! ❤️
Seeing how much has Remedy progressed, both in terms of technology and storytelling, especially the kind which is open to analysis... It feel kinda wrong to say I'm glad that Alan Wake 2 took so long to arrive, but I really think that making the sequel now instead of 8 years ago is almost a blessing. The expectations are high, especially after Control, but I'm confident Remedy will be able to do more than just live up to them.
A Remedy Matrix game would be amazing. Please make after Alan Wake 2.
I just finished the game and it was absolutely awesome. Thank you.
It was Alan wake that finally pushed to start writing a story of my own. It’s got ways to go but it’s a true joy to do it. Thank you remedy!
I used to love writing stories myself. Wanted to be a writer when I was younger, being inspired by Stephen King and even Alan Wake lol. Been a while though since I've written. Just an old dream of mine I had, to be a writer someday, but still love great stories. :)
@@_chemicalbeat_ that’s awesome! God bless you and your loved ones!
Only recently found your channel on here but I absolutely love Alan wake and control so thanks for all the hours of fun you have given me and the other fans.
A couple years ago, I happened to find Control on PS Now, ever since then I've been obsessed with the Remedyverse. I've since played control 3 times across 3 different platforms (PS4, PS5 and PC), Quantum Break, and I just finished the Alan Wake remaster on PS5. Now, I absolutely can't wait for the sequels!
It was all worth it. The trailer rolled with no introduction and I was only half paying attention thinking 'It's just another game'. And then after about five seconds, I realised just what I was watching and my heart was suddenly beating like a drum and I was trying to stop myself from jumping up in the air (because it was 2am in the UK). I couldn't believe it. I am incredibly excited. Thank you.
Played your games since 2001. You remain one of my favorite developers and keep my love of single player narrative alive and well. Sam Lake is a big inspiration for me. Love you all thank you for what you do.
I have so much faith that you guys will knock this out of the park! Alan wake is my favorite game of all time and I love the world you guys have built, quantum break and control are just as good, so excited to see what you guys have up your sleeves
We can see all the love that, not only the community but also Remedy and Sam itself have for this game. I couldn't be happier about this! thanks guys for such incredible and passionate games!
0:28 "Departure" I see what you did there.
I’m so happy Alan Wake 2 is finally happening! I’ve been quietly enjoying your games, and brand of storytelling, since Max Payne. Alan Wake has always been a personal favorite. Over all these years I’ve been taking any opportunity to expose friends and loved-ones to the story of Alan Wake in the hopes that they too will understand what makes it so special. Maybe now I will seem less crazy talking up a decade old game now that a sequel is in the works lol.
Thank you for all your hard work. Also thank you for sharing your stories with us all.
This is the last man in the business that takes any pride and joy in his work. I'll follow him to the end of the Earth.
My favorite game dev studio and Sam Lake is probably my favorite game writer. So glad you guys finally get to make a sequel to AW, and I'm glad I get a chance to play it.
when they released the remastered alan wake game i FUCKING KNEW THEY ARE PREPARING US FOR A SEQUEL!!!! They reminded us about the first game to prepare for a second. Its a shame its going to be only in 2023 but better later than never, i cant wait for it !!!! And from trailer it looks like Alan is going to be like John Wick from nightmares thats fucking epic :D
It is so refreshing to see devs love their project this much! I’m so excited!
Day 1 purchase from me. Just going through everything Alan Wake right now with my family. Good job guys.
Dude I loved Control so much, I actually used my own gameplay footage for school presentation.
To Sam, & the entire Remedy/Alan Wake 2 team, I say Happy Holidays & good wishes into the new year. Can't wait to get my hands on this new adventure in 2023!
We must protect this man at all costs. Thank you Sam!
Sam Lake is undeniably the GOATED creative director in my heart and him saying how he's happy with the way Alan Wake 2 has played out so far thematically and artistically and also casually claiming it would be the best looking Remedy game to have released after making the gorgeously harrowing experience that is Control two years prior has made my entire freaking year tbh. So excited to see what the team brings to the table yet another time!
I absolutely LOVE the atmosphere you can feel amongst all the Remedy team. No wonder you get these AMAZING games as a product. It's made with love on EVERY level, to the tiniest details. Please never stop making games, you guys. And Sam: I admire you very much. You inspire me to be a better person. Thanks a lot for your work 💙 I can barely wait to see the result of all these years🤩🎮
Awww! 🥺 Sam's passion and love for Alan Wake is amazing. We love you Sam, and Remedy! Thank you!!! I cannot wait for Alan Wake 2, I've been waiting faithfully for 10 years for a sequel, so so excited it's finally coming! ❤️❤️❤️🔦
I loved the original game so much, I can't wait to see it, take all the time in the world you need to make this and make it the fantastic sequel we all know it can be
Passion goes a long way when making any art form, especially, video games. Passion is exactly what many AAA developers are lacking in this modern era of gaming. Thank you Remedy, for loving what you do, and fulfilling the dreams of many of us fans.
im so excited! Thank you Sam and all the team at Remedy for creating one of my favorite games to date!
That is the best news of the decade!
Love you with all my heart! ~ ❤
Alan Wake is my favorite game from the 360 generation. Been wishing for this announcement every year since 2010.
Awesome to see Sam so happy about this, I guess sometimes things happen for a reason looks like all the stars are aligned for this game to be really something special. Take your time, we'll be waiting patiently.
It's so great to see the excitement on Sam Lake's face after the visible disappointment from his previous announcement of having to put Alan Wake on hold.
Love Remedy and Sam Lake! I just replayed AW remastered again. AW 2 !!!! After so many years it is finally happening. 23 cannot come fast enough so let's skip 22 for ALAN WAKE 2.
thank you so much!! I cried when it was announced. Alan Wake is such a special game to me, I've replayed it over and over and over again. I love it so much and I cannot wait for Alan Wake 2
I love and respect you guys so much. You always do your absolute best and craft games with wonderfully wild and interesting stories and unique gameplay, and you love the fans so much. I'm so excited this is actually happening, for a long time I lost hope. Thank you so, so much Remedy.
By the way, I heard this is gonna be survival horror. I always looked at the original Alan Wake as being a horror game so this is probably gonna be terrifying and I'm all for it.
Love this! Thanks Remedy!
Fantastic. Truly a dream come true. I and many people are extremely excited to see what masterful creation you guys make I only wish my brother and all of the other fans who are not here, could be here to witness this moment. I’ll never forget speeding back after getting gas station coffee and breakfast after a long night of gaming so me and my brother could get back to the house to keep playing Alan wake and being caught up in the virtual world and the story. Those moments will eternally be with me and I cannot thank you all enough for that. I hope you know your hard work is appreciated by many people, and the work you’ve done has touched people’s lives and I think that is a wonderful thing indeed.
Unbelievably ecstatic for this next chapter in the Alan Wake story. As a writer, reader, and fan, I cannot wait to dive back in Cauldron Lake once more. I will be following every development update that makes its way to the interwebs.
My most anticipated game for the last 11 years. Thank you, Sam & Remedy
