Alan Wake 2 vs. Alan Wake Bright Falls Comparison

Part of Alan Wake 2's intro takes place in the same small town that the first game did, so we thought we'd make a comparison! Keep in mind to be as spoiler free as possible, all footage of Alan Wake 2 has been taken in the first one or two hours.
Alan Wake II takes place many years after the story of the first game, and features two playable characters: Alan Wake himself, and an FBI profiler named Saga Anderson. Saga must reconstruct clues in her head to understand the secret of what's happening as Alan continues to try and write his way out of the Dark Place since the end of the first game. The story now ties in with Control, Remedy's previous game, as well.

Alan Wake 2 looks absolutely stunning, but it's important not to forget that the original Alan Wake, to this day, remains a fantastic experience. Its unique gameplay still holds up brilliantly

[@priyanshusharma1812]

Not the gunplay, that is objectively bad by today's standards

[@MichaelDoesLife]

Alan Wake 1 looks better

Apart from graphics is the missions are different or same , or is it completely different ?

[@Sikanda.]

Bright Falls looks like a real place to visit in the sequel. They really pushed the visual fidelity to a whole new level.

[@russmawson6744]

The first one still holds up really well. Character model's look dated but atmosphere and environment are still great

[@adriantrusca1245]

The remastered version doesn't really look dated at all.

yeah, except those are new "remastered" models that look way worse than originals, lmao.

2:50 lmao somebody got really sick of hearing Coconut

[@adrnacad3434]

Remedy is secretly flexing that they can remake Max Payne 1 and 2.

[@smitty8310]

The massive improvements in character animation is what visually elevates the sequel over the original.

[@Da1UP]

Great! But where's the bridge?😢

[@ThePreciseClimber]

Unfortunately, Alan Wake 2 can't be a 10/10 because you can't play the Coconut.

[@capnsteele3365]

thats a graphical upgrade

[@abhishekarulswamy4261]

Night Level and Day Level to compare - are you serious? 😂

[@Syncro_esm]

Well, if you played the original, you'd know you could only explore bright falls in a certain level where it is night time.

[@cameronpavelic500]

@@Syncro_esmexactly. not sure how this has so many thumbs up? There wouldn’t be any comparison video if they didn’t include the night version of bright falls, since that’s literally the only time you can explore it outside the diner.

[@CrossplatformGamerMasterRace]

Why not compare to the remaster? 🙄

Cool, but hideo kojima was not involved in making either of these games. He has his own studio kojima productions. These games were developed by the studio Remedy.

[@abbazaba]

@@huukkeli22 Yes, but Hideo did some voicework for Control. MAYBE in the future they do more substantial collaboration.

[@Faded.Visuals]

he was a side character in a side quest. You should be saying Sam Lake and the people at Remedy are your heroes, since they made Alan Wake 2, Control, Quantum Break, Alan Wake 1, Max Payne 2 and 1
