Coming here after this recent Game Awards. So SO happy to see and hear that the sequel is happening, after initially believing it would never be made and seen again.
13 minutes of gameplay, and 13 years in development. The game we actually got has gone above and beyound what anyone could anticipate. Game of the Year for sure.
disagree, it was a let down. this looked waaaaaaaay cooler than what we got. for instance, instead of changing details to match the story, we have a stupid menu where we switch between "realities" (mind place / writer's room). i hate this, i think it's lazy, and i don't think it works. the original concept was so much better.
For 13 year of development everyone expect to be on the level of RDR2-GTA5 (exploring, freeroam etc). Instead we get a short story of plagiarized RE 2-4 and Silent Hill 1-4 gameplay mechanics...
@@harry-smith404 why? it's always important to see how things happened, that's why we study history, history of the planet, history of art, history of languague, history of games ♥
I'm with you in this one, we shouldn't forget this version of the game as it was almost the version of the game we were supposed to get, Not to mention I still think what they were going for would be absolutely perfect for a third game- Like what Deadly Premonition wanted to be being built on top of what Alan Wake already is
***** Which is why they showed this to other publishers as well and not only Microsoft. Alan Wake 2 might become a reality since this is now public, and it even might even be multi platform. Here's hoping.
***** Remedy already said to polygon they made this demo back then, and showed it to a bunch of different publishers including Microsoft. Remedy owns the rights to Alan Wake not Microsoft so it's very possible.
***** It's most definitely not the evolution of that franchise. Microsoft just liked those game mechanics from this demo and told them to use them in a new ip. Did you read the polygon interview with remedy and sam lake?
I wasn't aware that Alan Wake 2 had an internal prototype back then until now. I knew that Sam Lake wanted a sequel to happen, and the partnership with Microsoft led to the release of Quantum Break. The thirteen year wait for the sequel was worth every second.
“We all come to a story with hopes and expectations, looking for an answer.” 13 years of hopes and expectations and Remedy delivered something no Alan Wake fan could’ve predicted, a true masterpiece.
Now that Remedy Games has full control over the Alan Wake licensing, and there are sooo many Alan Wake easter eggs in Control & the AWE dlc. PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
It is SO interesting seeing the baby seeds of what was to come in the real Alan Wake II, like the changing of prompts for the levels and the "forcing reality to accept" what Alan is writing. Really interesting stuff.
penyuwan As long as they can get the games media to like them. A kickstarter wouldn't be a bad choice. Although, sites like Polygon along with others would shitpost about it because its main character is a straight white male with brown hair. And I bet a women will die in the game making the game misogynistic. Other than that the game should be fine with the media.
The Vicatorian : Women did die in their Max Payne series, but Remedy do create awesome femme fatale such the playable Mona Sax and upcoming QB. Which is a rarity these days.
13 minutes of gameplay and now Alan Wake 2 comes out 13 years after the first game. Now I know how the Kingdom hearts people felt having to wait for KH3
Are you kidding? This might have been just a gameplay-demo but it looks absolutely gorgeous to me. I love how they enlarged and developed the puzzle-gameplay and that music plays an important role again. :-) What a shame, that a lot of these puzzles and gameplay-ideas are now a part of "Quantum Break" and will probably never be a part of an "Alan Wake" game.
Charlie Zockt Yea i really love what they did here by changing up the mechanics! The graphics look almost the same as the PC version of Alan Wake tho, not that i'm complaining since its still gorgeous and this is a 2010 demo!
Yes the graphics are almost the same but I love the size of the demo. It looks quit big and open to me and I like that. And I guess that sSome type of open-world could work in "Alan Wake". :-)
Charlie Zockt I dont think its a shame. Quantum Break will be a groundbraking game for sure. They said with QB they were more open for ideias and inovation, with Alan Wake they were kind of limited. So Quantum Break will be everthing Remedy has ever wanted to make and even better. Alan wake 2 will be their next game for sure. :)
Pedro Hasser22 Maybe "shame" is the wrong word and I just ment something like "sad". All these ideas seamed so perfect for Alan Wake, but I don't want to judge Quantum Break, and I'm sure it will be a fun game to play! :-)
What was planned here felt too close to the original. You know, like an expansion pack, but not a true sequel that really expands and tries something new. Like American nightmare was but imagine it had plot. Im very happy they took the time and made the game they did in the end. Alan wake 2 is reminiscent of the original with the flashlight mechanics but it feels like an entirely new game set in the same universe. Still, cool to see some ideas did stick and stay, like with Mr scratch (although sad they scrapped the urban legend becoming true, that's a neat play on cauldron lake magic) and the writing things and them appearing. My only disappointment is the sequel-hooking ending. I expected part 2 to end conclusively. But I guess its an expanded universe franchise now.
The overlaps you did as saga was essentially the use of urban legends. Also I feel like the second game is usually the game that expands on what we already know. Explore them and so on. As like you said it’s a connected universe but also there’s just a lot for them to dive deeper into with these characters
It's crazy seeing this compared to what the game became- this just goes to show that sometimes a project just needs *time* to make it great. The best ideas will linger, and new ideas will develop, and other projects can help with that exploring and skill-development process. Remedy is a great games company, and that is of course from their writing and their technical skills but it's also from their decision-making and the how savvy they are on the creative and people side of things.
Whoever wrote the Alan Wake game(s) is a complete genius and should write more games and maybe even a television series or movies....they're just to good!
@@shodan1565 idk, Alan Wake probably? It's not out yet, they just confirmed that it's still in development. I guess it's in an early stage of pre production
I don't know why but this game... Ok there are a lot of games I play. Say skyrim. I'm a huge fan of the elder scrolls series. And mass effect. I've played the whole trilogy and I'm looking forward to mass effect andromeda. But Alan Wake is a game I played before say three years and for me it's number one on my list of favorite games. Why do I like it so much. Is it because it's been my first thriller game, or because I was always under pressure when playing it. Idk but it's just my favorite game.
+Stormcloak Shreds It has such a great horror atmosphere, unique gameplay, interesting characters, excellent story.... What's not to love? :) I also really dug how they made it feel like a TV show.
Scott Lee Clayton Between XBOX ONE and PS4, I choose the PS4. But for Alan Wake 2 I would definitely buy a XBOX ONE. Call me a freak, but I would still do it.
From the opening lyrics of Night Springs on the Alan Wake II soundtrack which features an easter egg for upcoming dlc... Space invader, looking cute in a human suit Secret agents with the down-down rays they shoot *puts on tinfoil hat* I want to believe
Looks good, come on Microsoft, put this into production. Alan Wake sold 4.5+ Million copies, thats damn good for a game which is new ip and less marketing.
I recently finished replaying the original Alan Wake game on PC. This makes my fifth or sixth play through. I have to resist replaying it again immediately as I'd like time for the memory of it to fade a bit before I plunge back into the story. The original Alan Wake may have had some awkward controls, but even that didn't detract from the game for me. The story and characters were absolutely gripping! That's what keeps me coming back for more. The visuals were also stunning. For my money you just can't beat Alan Wake. I would love to see something come from this demo. I'd even love to see other anthologies in the same universe. I still re-watch the Bright Falls series from time to time just to get that same feel. Alan Wake is a great game and I'm constantly watching for the next installment. All that said... I wasn't a big fan of Alan Wake's American Nightmare. It was a decent game. The story was interesting enough. But it lacked the same feel. I didn't get the same connection to the characters I felt from the original. So please, work on Alan Wake 2 or some other installment for the universe with the same (or similar) feel from the first game. As soon as it's available on PC I'll be there ready to shell out hard earned cash for it. If there's one thing I love, it's a good story.
Yes, there is a sprint key in all modes. In fact there are certain times when you need to sprint in the game to avoid taking damage. It's been a few months since my last play-through, but I believe on the PC it's the shift key. It should be the same key as your dodge anyway. By the way, anyone who enjoyed Alan Wake, they did a fantastic prequel web series called Bright Falls. It ends where the game begins. They did an incredible job on it. It's well worth watching. The whole show is about 30 minutes. I recently purchased Quantum Break, but haven't yet had time to play it. It looks incredible! I'm hoping now that they've finished work on that game they'll make another one for the Alan Wake universe.
Ahhh, where are the times when everyone was bitchin about the resolution and the uninspired collectibles... How does Destiny and Evolve feel right now boys and girls, hm? Alan Wake seems so sweet right? I'm still waiting for AW2 to appear and the talent of Sam Lake and Co to shine!
Everyone who is wishing for Alan Wake 2, keep in mind that Remedy has said already many times that they are most likely going to make it, when THEY think the time is right....also keep in mind that although the first game eventually sold 4.5 million copies or something like that, with 360 and PC sales combined, the sales during first weeks and months were not that impressive, the game barely sold little over 1 million during its first year, which was dissappointing for both Remedy and Microsoft. While you can argue that it was because of the game being Xbox 360 exclusive at first, the bigger reason was that the gamers went for Red Dead Redemption that was released during the same week as Alan Wake....for both MS and Remedy it very much seemed at that time that Alan Wake was not going to be succesfull enough to be worth to turn into bigger franchise, so propably at that point the decision was made for new IP instead.
Balnazzardi Although if Alan Wake get's ported to Xbox One as a pre-order bonus for Quantum Break as the rumors say, there's a very high chance we'll get a sequel within the next 4 years. And with Phil Spencer as the head of Xbox instead of that piece of shit Don Matrik the chances are higher than ever.
SureShotSav I wouldnt say so...during its 5 years in development Alan Wake got actually quite much publicity, it was featured on covers of quite many game magazines and (first) as Xbox 360 exclusive, Microsoft made sure the game was also in spotlight during E3. Again I think the main 3 main issues were that the game was released too close to Red Dead Redemption (and 2010 spring was quite busy overall in terms of big game launches), the biggest hype around the game had propably died by the time of its launch and lastly the game got mainly "only" good reviews, but not great ones.
will we ever see alan wake 2? i have a feeling that Remedy really love this IP and want to do alot more with it but have had a hard time getting investors on board because of alan wakes initial poor sales.......its so sad, Alan Wake is one of the most atmospheric games ive ever played, AND of course it has Barry and we all love Barry!........ Im gonna go cry now ,I miss you Barry and i miss your christmas tree lights too *sob*
Sadly American Nightmare, while a quality arcade game, was not a good follow up to Alan Wake. I really hope they produce another game in the Alan Wake universe that holds up to what they did in the first one. And yes, Barry and his Flaming Eye of Mordor is something that will live on in my heart regardless.
Actually the folks who made the game have said they're hoping to re-visit the franchise soon, and were just waiting until after they finished working on Quantum Break. So... there's hope. Hopefully better hope than there is for Valve to make a third game of... well, anything really. Portal, Left 4 Dead, Half Life... I have more faith in these folks. They seem genuinely passionate about their work.
qb to me was a 7 until i hit the final boss. then it dropped to a 6. i got so mad at the retarded arbitrary instakills of the final boss that i quit the game and never touched it again. yep i have a save game on the last boss of the game for 2 years now.
@@davidquezada50 I like in game cutscenes better than being forced to watch a TV series. It works in Alan Wake because main focus is still cutscenes but when something live action comes up it is on a in game screen and I feel like that makes it more natural. Tho QB wasn't a bad game by any means, I just am not a fan of how the story telling was handled in that one.
Alan wake was one of the best games ever for Xbox 360 and the best game of the genre for the past 5 years. Did what Silent hill or anything could do. Amazing setting an gameplay. All should vote to bring this back with a second alan wake.
I revisited this video when they released the Remaster this year, and here we are again. I really hope we get Mr. Scratch in the sequel, he was great in American Nightmare, but the possibilities now with the current technology....oh yeah, can't wait. I know the trailer they released is not actual gameplay but, considering how nice Control looks, especially with RT, oh...I mean, yes, all of it, need it. And it'll be a full Survival Horror game, I want to see Remedy's take on the genre, will they be influenced by the biggest survival horror games, will they make the game world more open and explorable, like the original intention with Alan Wake was? They wanted open world, originally but had to cut it down, and that actually made Alan Wake feel so special thanks to that. Hopefully they take what worked well for Alan Wake, and refine it, a huge empty world would be useless, so I hope it's packed with details, I'd be fine if the world was like Control's, or even the early Silent Hill games, really.
@@Sliver In Alan Wake 2? It's obvious the previous incarnation of Scratch was based off Alan's "wild side" personality, you know, the one the newspapers and paparazzi were always talking about, but tuned up to 11, absolutely crazier, so I liked American Nightmare's Scratch a lot for that, absolutely bonkers stuff there. But for Alan Wake 2 I don't mind that the Scratch "version" we got was just pure darkness, almost no personality just angry all the time, obsessed all the time with his one goal, etc. What fascinated me even more is the Thomas Zane we got, now that one I loved even more, I'd love to see more of that side of him. Not mentioning more details because spoilers, but there was a ton of cool stuff. Obviously there's still a ton of ambiguous stuff and non answered questions and the game still has two DLCs coming so, who knows, but I was satisfied with this "new Scratch" since I don't think it's supposed to be the exact same as in previous games. I don't think anything can beat the fun I had watching his scenes in American Nightmare though, so yeah I miss that side of him, but Alan Wake 2 in general was awesome, can't wait for the first DLC to come, specially with that title it has :P
@@Sholvacri I kinda missed the fun personality of AN Scratch, but I definitely thought what we got in 2 was still cool. I definitely wonder if they tried giving him more dialogue before they decided it conflicted with the horror tone probably
@@Sliver Yeah, I'm honestly hoping we get to see more of Zane in any of the upcoming DLCs, he could become the closest thing to AN's Scratch, especially seeing what happens with him and you know who in the Final Draft, lol, I need to see more of those two, together.
I only recently discovered this gameplay prototype, and I gotta say, even if nothing ever came of this, after years of silence, it was nice to finally hear Wake's voice again, and the poetic abstract way he explains the mechanics of the game and the rules of The Dark Place
An artist, of almost any medium (be it a painting or a book), who believes his work is finished will end it in the same medium it began with. We're not comfortable with an ending that leaves us in the Dark. And that very discomfort drives to find a way out. Its not Alan's purpose to find us a way out, nor even Sam Lake's. Its been Our Purpose since the moment we first opened the game and delved into the first page of a story that transcends between its reality and our own. The rest of the story is left to us to continue...or you could just stay in the dark and go through the shoulda, woulda, couldas of it all.
I'm so much happier with what we got. I love AW1 and AW:AN but the game play was always pretty flat for me. I love the atmosphere and game play that was refined for the sequel.
REJOICE my fellow fans! For Remedy has broken free of Microsoft's bullshit! Alan Wake is returning in Control, Alan Wake is to be remastered, and Alan Wake 2 is on the horizon once more. Glorious, glorious day.
This needs to happen. I seriously love everything that was shown here. Alan Wake is forever in my top 5 games. The only game that makes me want to work on my writing every time I play it.
Alan Wake: Remastered is announced and according to a one month old press release, Remedy is working on two games, one which is a smaller project and also a bigger one, both from the same IP. It essentially confirms that Alan Wake 2 is in development. It is the bigger project, while the remastered version of the first game is the smaller one.
All us die hard Alan wake fans that so desperately wanted the mainstream gamers to accept Alan wake 1 so we would get a sequel , and it never happened ... We never got this game... but what we did get, was worth the 13 year wait... still I would love to play even just this 1 demo level.
This is a bit of a long post but I have to get all this out of my head loll. This game was the definition of near perfect writing! The story was such a breath of fresh air for me! The dynamics the game used to tell the story was compelling: the TV series like presentation, the music whenever it was featured, the manuscripts, that both foretold and foreshadowed events in the game! The environment, the characters, and how all these elements stayed consent to the narration. The voice acting and dialogue was literally 10/10 too! And man this story! the plot and its various elements! This game actually has a deep lore! The way the plot thickens gradually...and how as you play along uncovering more clues, you start to both understand more and yet also somehow the more confused some things seem and the more curious you become. The more answers you get, the more questions you have! And yet it does not feel at all like the plot is overwhelming or "going away" from you. All dialogue set pieces were spot on, including whenever aspects such as humour was used in the game. Nothing ever felt forced! This was pure genius writing IMO! Finally how the game explores the fight between light vs the dark so literally...where you are literally shiny a light etc at these dark enemies to help destroy them! It was very cool combat mechanics! And it's sad that after the 1st game and it's two DLCS the series just stalled. AW is not a perfect game but had a lot of things done perfectly. It is honestly one of the best games ever made in the horror genre! Very original! Looking at this gameplay footage it is obvious how much passion was continued to be poured into it by the Devs and team. And all of this just makes me so sad that the series just stalled! It's mind boggling! What an absolute shame if this little gem is never explored further 😢
I really like how the enemy just grabbed the other guys thrown axe from the truck, that would have been an "oh shit" moment for me lmao love how developers just try to push the ai to the limits like with FEAR, every detail helps.
Alan Wake 2 100% confirmed and now watching this old gameplay i remember myself as a kid that was screaming when this demo was shown. Respect to Sam Lake for his hard work and his faith in Alan Wake game series
Really seems like this version of Alan Wake 2 would be similar to the original/AN. It makes me glad they were never able to make it until now. What they ended up making was in a whole other league than what this concept looks like. Really goes to show that sometimes waiting is the better choice than rushing to make the next game. Sometimes the technology just needs to catch up to what you truly want to make.
Edit: We got AW 2 and man it was worth the wait. This looks pretty damn good! Really hope they decide to go back and expand upon this at some point in the future. Either was I just hope we get another Alan Wake some day! Love their taste in music at 7:34 !
I have a feeling someone from Remedy will be looking at comments, so: For fuck's sake, run a Kickstarter to fund Alan Wake 2 as a PC release and think about consoles as a secondary platform. You'll be funded within 48 hours. I have no idea what the first game's Steam sales numbers look like but I'm *sure* they must have been higher than all console unit sales combined. (EDIT THIS IS WRONG SORRY) This is ridiculous, I find it absolutely criminal that you people are sitting on this awesome franchise, this awesome GAME, and not doing anything about it for lack of publisher interest. FUCK publishers. Publish it yourself. Remedy owns the Alan Wake IP last I checked, what are you waiting for?
fozzibab I am not a fan of Kickstarter, but hell yea I would donate the game full price $60 and then buy the game again for full price when it releases. The game that I enjoyed the most can't even find a publisher? Fuck that.
fozzibab according to Steam Spy Alan Wake sold 1.5 million on PC. Since the game sold a little more than 3 million it was 50% on PC an 50% on Xbox 360. So this " I'm sure they must have been higher than all console unit sales combined" it's a Nope.
Jonathan Elias Aw, lame. Can you provide a source link for the Steam sales numbers? I would be interested in seeing that so I can fact-check other stuff.
fozzibab it's true....steam spy is a website that collects players data on the steam servers and they accordingly calculate the number of owners of the game activated on their account.....they are reliable too.
Bullshit! This looks better than Quantum Break god damn it. I understand the money thing and that's why QB is being made instead of AW2 but come on! Look how good that looks, and it's an internal prototype using an old engine and assets and not even "playable". Ugh, AW2 better come after QB. In 2022 though...
I really hope that Remedy didn't forget or give up that concept of enemies constantly interacting with the environment. It's been 10+ years and still no game makes it look so impressive. Seeing this in the actual upcoming AW2 release would be amazing.
Yeah remember the Energizer batteries in AW1? Also I think Alan's cell phone was Verizon lol. Thankfully Remedy didn't have to do any of that since Epic financed the development of AW 2.
I consider Alan Wake very underrated, the game was truly excellent, dark gritty atmosphere with some solid shooting mechanics and some tense moments. It wasn't flashy like Uncharted and such but does it really need to be? I much prefer games with solid core mechanics, good atmosphere and interesting narrative.
Anyone else NEED to see that episode of Night Springs they teased or is it just me? Plus, super cool they already had Watery planned that far ahead. Like Ahti with his post card in Control.
Alan Wake 2 deserves a sequel. one of the best games of all time in my opinion.. and as fans what we got to do is start tweeting Phil Spencer head of Microsoft & tell them as Xbox console owners we want a sequel to Alan Wake remedy entertainment said in an interview a few months back they be willing to make it actually they want to make it but Microsoft has to give the okay. If we tweet & let them know we want it and maybe just maybe it gets made
Remedy owns Alan Wake I guess the name Microsoft owns the IP and remedy entertainment currently has a new game coming out called control which is scheduled to be released sometime soon usually the company develops two games simultaneously I'm just hoping Alan Wake gets in development regardless of what system I own them all
The thing is remedy actually said in an interview a couple months ago that they want to make Alan Wake 2 but they can't until Phil Spencer says they can they pitched him a few years back on Alen Wake 2 and he passed on it for Quantum break which I loved but Alan Wake is my favorite game of all time and it really does deserve a sequel the ending was such a cliffhanger it needs a conclusion
The only thing I'm hoping for is improved controllers from the previous "Alan Wake" games... The dude is about as easy to maneuver as a cow in a fucking shopping trolley!
It wasn't "scrapped" because they had the "balls," it was "scrapped" because Microsoft passed on funding the full-fledged sequel. Microsoft did, however, fund a smaller scale successor called American Nightmare, so they didn't "scrap" this at all. They took what they had and it was reconfigured into American Nightmare.
It's really cool seeing a few of the aspects from the demo, still in the sequel. (clearly one of the Koleko bros) is the intro/outro. But changed them to what they are. Honestly, I'm glad it sat cooking for so long, what we got was so friggin amazing. I feel it should have got GoTY. But i didn't play it till after the holidays.
Such an amazing demo. Almost everything in it feels like a perfect sequel. I especially love the enemies's interaction with the world. It doesn't feels like a small work just to test ideas, it feels like a true sequel and good one at that. Remedy, come on, please make Alan Wake 2...
Damn...and I mean damn this looks good. I can see the concepts that went from here to QB, but in my opinion I think the reason why Remedy shelved AW was to make the notion that he was stuck in darkness fighting (or typing) to write himself out while Scratch and Alice were free, all the more real...After QB is AW 2, by that time it will be at least 8 years (since AW 1 released in 2010).
so far it looks like sagas path in alan wake 2 will have the original idea for alan wake 1. an open world version of bright falls where you talk to locals in the day and hunt at night. while alans story is gonna be stuck inside an altered version of new york and be pure horror.. rewriting reality within the dark place. not 100% certain but Lakes interviews seem to point to that
That's basically how it plays out. I like Saga's chapters a bit more personally. Just better horror IMO. Of course Alan has the incredible "we sing it" chapter.
i really want to cry after watching this, Alan wake IS my no 1 game for me the game is a masterpiece, the gameplay, the story/narrative, the world, the universe, the horror and the pacing of the game is spot on all of the aspects are perfect. Alan Wake is the only game that i'm truly enjoy the narration all the voice actor, music and sound design is superb, this game makes me want to hear the Night Spring (in-game TV shows) until the TV shut it self, makes me want to hear the radio, and makes me want to read the scattered script and listen to the narration immedieatly. an amazing concept of a game. i wish there's some kind of an e-book for Alan Wake or simply the audio of the scatterd script of the narration will suffice my nostalgia. i absolutely love this game i hope Alan Wake 2 is a thing in not so distant future using this demo ideas and mechanics and added a lot new more since the technology is far more advance now
Step 1. Make this game.
Step 2. Take my money.

@@xXSilentAgent47Xx If you think they spent 13 years straight working on AW2 you're an idiot.
@@xXSilentAgent47Xx Honestly, it felt more like a clone of Twin Peaks season 3, and even that was awful.
Don’t let this video die now just because we have actual Alan Wake 2 gameplay now
No, let it die
@@harry-smith404 why? it's always important to see how things happened, that's why we study history, history of the planet, history of art, history of languague, history of games ♥
I'm with you in this one, we shouldn't forget this version of the game as it was almost the version of the game we were supposed to get, Not to mention I still think what they were going for would be absolutely perfect for a third game- Like what Deadly Premonition wanted to be being built on top of what Alan Wake already is
what you mean let this video die, who is killing it?
It honestly was way more interesting as a could have been.
Knowing Remedy they'll canonize this as another path down the spiral someday
Remedy please please please make this game!
***** Which is why they showed this to other publishers as well and not only Microsoft. Alan Wake 2 might become a reality since this is now public, and it even might even be multi platform. Here's hoping.
Phaidon Nicola I don't think, ms needs games to sell consoles and will never let remedy go with other publishers.
***** Remedy already said to polygon they made this demo back then, and showed it to a bunch of different publishers including Microsoft. Remedy owns the rights to Alan Wake not Microsoft so it's very possible.
XxSkyKni9htxX I don't have both consoles. Haha. Still waiting for that killer console exclusive to make me buy one.
***** It's most definitely not the evolution of that franchise. Microsoft just liked those game mechanics from this demo and told them to use them in a new ip. Did you read the polygon interview with remedy and sam lake?
Alan Wake is a piece of art, a sequel is a must
LOVE IT SO MUCH !!
Remember if you feel that way. Art generally never gets a sequel.
and now remedy the company that made alan wake said that microsoft is not intrested in doing a sequel to alan wake :(
the sequel is kinda american nightmare
Our wish is granted
I wasn't aware that Alan Wake 2 had an internal prototype back then until now. I knew that Sam Lake wanted a sequel to happen, and the partnership with Microsoft led to the release of Quantum Break.
The thirteen year wait for the sequel was worth every second.
“We all come to a story with hopes and expectations, looking for an answer.”
13 years of hopes and expectations and Remedy delivered something no Alan Wake fan could’ve predicted, a true masterpiece.
Alan wake was a great game!
Zayn K Can't argue with that. My favourite game actually!
Zayn K Tell us something we didn't know already!
Zayn K *ISAlan Wake IS a great game.
Zayn K One of the best horror games ever made IMO. Severely underrated!
Chubzdoomer "Maybe I overreacted, but this game is underrated" lol :)
Taht's true.
"it's not a lake, it's an ocean."
I NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED A 2nd part!
Alan Wake 2 with the graphics of Quantum Break, and a story mode with Mr. Scratch as the villain.
That would be heaven
alan wake 1 have same graphic as qb but don't need i7 to run it..
QB looks way better than Alan Wake
+Nikola Milosevic say wot?
wot
Now that Remedy Games has full control over the Alan Wake licensing, and there are sooo many Alan Wake easter eggs in Control & the AWE dlc. PLEASE MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
The ending of AWE almost entirely confirms a new game set in Bright Falls centered around Wake and the Federal Bureau of Control
Sequel coming soon :)
They aren't easter eggs, it's a shared universe, that's already been confirmed, both in game and in interview
@@rahul-qm9fi coming 2023
Congrats! Games out :)
I hate when they cancel awesome games!
Coming 2023
It is SO interesting seeing the baby seeds of what was to come in the real Alan Wake II, like the changing of prompts for the levels and the "forcing reality to accept" what Alan is writing. Really interesting stuff.

it's really sad that we never got to play this amazing game
Nick . Awesome It's still possible.
Nick . Awesome Perhaps Kickstarter could help them.
penyuwan As long as they can get the games media to like them. A kickstarter wouldn't be a bad choice. Although, sites like Polygon along with others would shitpost about it because its main character is a straight white male with brown hair. And I bet a women will die in the game making the game misogynistic. Other than that the game should be fine with the media.
The Vicatorian : Women did die in their Max Payne series, but Remedy do create awesome femme fatale such the playable Mona Sax and upcoming QB. Which is a rarity these days.
penyuwan I know, I was making fun of Polygon and other SJW sites.
Alan:Where is alice ?
Me:Wrong Alan,where is Barry ?!?!?!?!?!?

Just finish Alan Wake 2 and came here. What and absolute masterpiece
13 minutes of gameplay and now Alan Wake 2 comes out 13 years after the first game. Now I know how the Kingdom hearts people felt having to wait for KH3
Woah, it's gotta be a coincidence
They need to make this after QB.Holy Smokes enemy interaction is very smooth.
Are you kidding? This might have been just a gameplay-demo but it looks absolutely gorgeous to me. I love how they enlarged and developed the puzzle-gameplay and that music plays an important role again. :-)
What a shame, that a lot of these puzzles and gameplay-ideas are now a part of "Quantum Break" and will probably never be a part of an "Alan Wake" game.
Charlie Zockt Yea i really love what they did here by changing up the mechanics! The graphics look almost the same as the PC version of Alan Wake tho, not that i'm complaining since its still gorgeous and this is a 2010 demo!
Yes the graphics are almost the same but I love the size of the demo. It looks quit big and open to me and I like that. And I guess that sSome type of open-world could work in "Alan Wake". :-)
Charlie Zockt I dont think its a shame. Quantum Break will be a groundbraking game for sure. They said with QB they were more open for ideias and inovation, with Alan Wake they were kind of limited. So Quantum Break will be everthing Remedy has ever wanted to make and even better. Alan wake 2 will be their next game for sure. :)
Pedro Hasser22 Maybe "shame" is the wrong word and I just ment something like "sad". All these ideas seamed so perfect for Alan Wake, but I don't want to judge Quantum Break, and I'm sure it will be a fun game to play! :-)
Happy to say you were wrong
What was planned here felt too close to the original. You know, like an expansion pack, but not a true sequel that really expands and tries something new. Like American nightmare was but imagine it had plot.
Im very happy they took the time and made the game they did in the end. Alan wake 2 is reminiscent of the original with the flashlight mechanics but it feels like an entirely new game set in the same universe.
Still, cool to see some ideas did stick and stay, like with Mr scratch (although sad they scrapped the urban legend becoming true, that's a neat play on cauldron lake magic) and the writing things and them appearing.
My only disappointment is the sequel-hooking ending. I expected part 2 to end conclusively. But I guess its an expanded universe franchise now.
The overlaps you did as saga was essentially the use of urban legends. Also I feel like the second game is usually the game that expands on what we already know. Explore them and so on. As like you said it’s a connected universe but also there’s just a lot for them to dive deeper into with these characters
It's crazy seeing this compared to what the game became- this just goes to show that sometimes a project just needs *time* to make it great. The best ideas will linger, and new ideas will develop, and other projects can help with that exploring and skill-development process. Remedy is a great games company, and that is of course from their writing and their technical skills but it's also from their decision-making and the how savvy they are on the creative and people side of things.
Whoever wrote the Alan Wake game(s) is a complete genius and should write more games and maybe even a television series or movies....they're just to good!
Sam Lake
@Noah Foster he didnt it was a half hour miniseries
@@HyperrealisticLuigi They're working on a real tv show though. They confirmed it again just last december in a call to their investors.
@@SGSOnlineTV what's the show called?
@@shodan1565 idk, Alan Wake probably? It's not out yet, they just confirmed that it's still in development. I guess it's in an early stage of pre production
I don't know why but this game... Ok there are a lot of games I play. Say skyrim. I'm a huge fan of the elder scrolls series. And mass effect. I've played the whole trilogy and I'm looking forward to mass effect andromeda. But Alan Wake is a game I played before say three years and for me it's number one on my list of favorite games. Why do I like it so much. Is it because it's been my first thriller game, or because I was always under pressure when playing it. Idk but it's just my favorite game.
+Stormcloak Shreds It has such a great horror atmosphere, unique gameplay, interesting characters, excellent story.... What's not to love? :) I also really dug how they made it feel like a TV show.
Carl Frank Ikr. Too bad they didn't play two men and a half tho.
Uh... I don't understand your comment. Am I missing a joke?
+Carl Frank You know the tv's in the game with that night springs show. I was talking ab that.
Haha. So those TVs should play Two and a Half Men? Hey- Maybe Charlie Sheen as Alan Wake.... Yeah, uh... no. LOL.
Can you imagine this now being made for the XBOX ONE!?... come on Remedy please make that your next project!!.
Scott Lee Clayton I'm sure it will be.

We can hope aye...
Scott Lee Clayton Between XBOX ONE and PS4, I choose the PS4. But for Alan Wake 2 I would definitely buy a XBOX ONE. Call me a freak, but I would still do it.
Thomas Mauer Anyone who wouldn't hasn't played Alan Wake.

Looks good, come on Microsoft, put this into production. Alan Wake sold 4.5+ Million copies, thats damn good for a game which is new ip and less marketing.
I recently finished replaying the original Alan Wake game on PC. This makes my fifth or sixth play through. I have to resist replaying it again immediately as I'd like time for the memory of it to fade a bit before I plunge back into the story. The original Alan Wake may have had some awkward controls, but even that didn't detract from the game for me. The story and characters were absolutely gripping! That's what keeps me coming back for more. The visuals were also stunning. For my money you just can't beat Alan Wake.
I would love to see something come from this demo. I'd even love to see other anthologies in the same universe. I still re-watch the Bright Falls series from time to time just to get that same feel. Alan Wake is a great game and I'm constantly watching for the next installment.
All that said... I wasn't a big fan of Alan Wake's American Nightmare. It was a decent game. The story was interesting enough. But it lacked the same feel. I didn't get the same connection to the characters I felt from the original.
So please, work on Alan Wake 2 or some other installment for the universe with the same (or similar) feel from the first game. As soon as it's available on PC I'll be there ready to shell out hard earned cash for it. If there's one thing I love, it's a good story.
wait there is a sprint key? i thought they only introduced tht in nightmare!
Yes, there is a sprint key in all modes. In fact there are certain times when you need to sprint in the game to avoid taking damage. It's been a few months since my last play-through, but I believe on the PC it's the shift key. It should be the same key as your dodge anyway.
By the way, anyone who enjoyed Alan Wake, they did a fantastic prequel web series called Bright Falls. It ends where the game begins. They did an incredible job on it. It's well worth watching. The whole show is about 30 minutes.
I recently purchased Quantum Break, but haven't yet had time to play it. It looks incredible! I'm hoping now that they've finished work on that game they'll make another one for the Alan Wake universe.
Ahhh, where are the times when everyone was bitchin about the resolution and the uninspired collectibles...
How does Destiny and Evolve feel right now boys and girls, hm? Alan Wake seems so sweet right?
I'm still waiting for AW2 to appear and the talent of Sam Lake and Co to shine!
g4freeman Destiny is actually doing well... Despite all the hate it got it's still a popular game... Evolve however was awful.
AW2 = Advanced Warfare 2 Kappa
Interesting how they kept the changing the reality feature, but with changing the scenes in the actual Alan Wake 2
Everyone who is wishing for Alan Wake 2, keep in mind that Remedy has said already many times that they are most likely going to make it, when THEY think the time is right....also keep in mind that although the first game eventually sold 4.5 million copies or something like that, with 360 and PC sales combined, the sales during first weeks and months were not that impressive, the game barely sold little over 1 million during its first year, which was dissappointing for both Remedy and Microsoft.
While you can argue that it was because of the game being Xbox 360 exclusive at first, the bigger reason was that the gamers went for Red Dead Redemption that was released during the same week as Alan Wake....for both MS and Remedy it very much seemed at that time that Alan Wake was not going to be succesfull enough to be worth to turn into bigger franchise, so propably at that point the decision was made for new IP instead.
Balnazzardi Although if Alan Wake get's ported to Xbox One as a pre-order bonus for Quantum Break as the rumors say, there's a very high chance we'll get a sequel within the next 4 years. And with Phil Spencer as the head of Xbox instead of that piece of shit Don Matrik the chances are higher than ever.
***** Yes, Now he's in charge of all of xbox. Xbox is in the right hands and it has been showing the past year.
It didn't sold very well in the first weeks, because Alan Wake was the most pirated game on MS history.
SureShotSav I wouldnt say so...during its 5 years in development Alan Wake got actually quite much publicity, it was featured on covers of quite many game magazines and (first) as Xbox 360 exclusive, Microsoft made sure the game was also in spotlight during E3.
Again I think the main 3 main issues were that the game was released too close to Red Dead Redemption (and 2010 spring was quite busy overall in terms of big game launches), the biggest hype around the game had propably died by the time of its launch and lastly the game got mainly "only" good reviews, but not great ones.
@@Balnazzardi it's time now
will we ever see alan wake 2? i have a feeling that Remedy really love this IP and want to do alot more with it but have had a hard time getting investors on board because of alan wakes initial poor sales.......its so sad, Alan Wake is one of the most atmospheric games ive ever played, AND of course it has Barry and we all love Barry!........ Im gonna go cry now ,I miss you Barry and i miss your christmas tree lights too *sob*
he'll be here in our darkness filled dreams, saving us with his flaming eye of mordor
If you count American Nightmare as Alan Wake 2 just look it up I think it's on amazon :/
Sadly American Nightmare, while a quality arcade game, was not a good follow up to Alan Wake. I really hope they produce another game in the Alan Wake universe that holds up to what they did in the first one.
And yes, Barry and his Flaming Eye of Mordor is something that will live on in my heart regardless.
Sadly it won't happen unfortunately this world revolves around money...
Actually the folks who made the game have said they're hoping to re-visit the franchise soon, and were just waiting until after they finished working on Quantum Break. So... there's hope. Hopefully better hope than there is for Valve to make a third game of... well, anything really. Portal, Left 4 Dead, Half Life... I have more faith in these folks. They seem genuinely passionate about their work.
I would rather have this than Quantum Break
qb to me was a 7 until i hit the final boss. then it dropped to a 6. i got so mad at the retarded arbitrary instakills of the final boss that i quit the game and never touched it again. yep i have a save game on the last boss of the game for 2 years now.
@Sean Avery Both Max Payne games is a 10 out 10.
Both games are masterpiece!
How would you not like quantum break!?
early 2022 and alan wake 2 is gonna be a blast of a game
@@davidquezada50 I like in game cutscenes better than being forced to watch a TV series. It works in Alan Wake because main focus is still cutscenes but when something live action comes up it is on a in game screen and I feel like that makes it more natural. Tho QB wasn't a bad game by any means, I just am not a fan of how the story telling was handled in that one.
Alan wake was one of the best games ever for Xbox 360 and the best game of the genre for the past 5 years. Did what Silent hill or anything could do. Amazing setting an gameplay.
All should vote to bring this back with a second alan wake.
I revisited this video when they released the Remaster this year, and here we are again. I really hope we get Mr. Scratch in the sequel, he was great in American Nightmare, but the possibilities now with the current technology....oh yeah, can't wait.
I know the trailer they released is not actual gameplay but, considering how nice Control looks, especially with RT, oh...I mean, yes, all of it, need it. And it'll be a full Survival Horror game, I want to see Remedy's take on the genre, will they be influenced by the biggest survival horror games, will they make the game world more open and explorable, like the original intention with Alan Wake was? They wanted open world, originally but had to cut it down, and that actually made Alan Wake feel so special thanks to that. Hopefully they take what worked well for Alan Wake, and refine it, a huge empty world would be useless, so I hope it's packed with details, I'd be fine if the world was like Control's, or even the early Silent Hill games, really.
How do you feel about the version of Mr. Scratch that appeared in the game?
@@Sliver In Alan Wake 2? It's obvious the previous incarnation of Scratch was based off Alan's "wild side" personality, you know, the one the newspapers and paparazzi were always talking about, but tuned up to 11, absolutely crazier, so I liked American Nightmare's Scratch a lot for that, absolutely bonkers stuff there.
But for Alan Wake 2 I don't mind that the Scratch "version" we got was just pure darkness, almost no personality just angry all the time, obsessed all the time with his one goal, etc. What fascinated me even more is the Thomas Zane we got, now that one I loved even more, I'd love to see more of that side of him.
Not mentioning more details because spoilers, but there was a ton of cool stuff.
Obviously there's still a ton of ambiguous stuff and non answered questions and the game still has two DLCs coming so, who knows, but I was satisfied with this "new Scratch" since I don't think it's supposed to be the exact same as in previous games.
I don't think anything can beat the fun I had watching his scenes in American Nightmare though, so yeah I miss that side of him, but Alan Wake 2 in general was awesome, can't wait for the first DLC to come, specially with that title it has :P
@@Sholvacri I kinda missed the fun personality of AN Scratch, but I definitely thought what we got in 2 was still cool. I definitely wonder if they tried giving him more dialogue before they decided it conflicted with the horror tone probably
@@Sliver Yeah, I'm honestly hoping we get to see more of Zane in any of the upcoming DLCs, he could become the closest thing to AN's Scratch, especially seeing what happens with him and you know who in the Final Draft, lol, I need to see more of those two, together.
@@Sholvacri Yeah that seems exciting. On my first playthrough I burst out laughing at him getting drunk with Alan.
"It's Return because... we return."
This looks SO good, I'm so sad :(
Sequel soon :)
Crazy to come back to this and see how far above this concept the sequel flew. Grateful for Remedy and their work on projects like these
this game looks great but i am so happy with the alan wake 2 we got. dreams do come true
I only recently discovered this gameplay prototype, and I gotta say, even if nothing ever came of this, after years of silence, it was nice to finally hear Wake's voice again, and the poetic abstract way he explains the mechanics of the game and the rules of The Dark Place
:D
An artist, of almost any medium (be it a painting or a book), who believes his work is finished will end it in the same medium it began with.
We're not comfortable with an ending that leaves us in the Dark. And that very discomfort drives to find a way out.
Its not Alan's purpose to find us a way out, nor even Sam Lake's.
Its been Our Purpose since the moment we first opened the game and delved into the first page of a story that transcends between its reality and our own.
The rest of the story is left to us to continue...or you could just stay in the dark and go through the shoulda, woulda, couldas of it all.
I'm so much happier with what we got. I love AW1 and AW:AN but the game play was always pretty flat for me. I love the atmosphere and game play that was refined for the sequel.
no
@@AdiiSum, no, YES. 2 is miles better.
@@ronthorn3 🤡

@@ricardors11 Well Remedy has another project in the pipeline atm. Who knows? It might be AW2? 🤔
You were right
This needs to happen. I seriously love everything that was shown here. Alan Wake is forever in my top 5 games. The only game that makes me want to work on my writing every time I play it.
nobody could have predicted how far ahead AW2 would be in terms of development.
Wow! And this was 12 years ago? Imagine what the 2023 Alan Wake 2 will be like? 😭
I know. I'm so excited! It will be a drastic change, but I can't wait. And it's gone be full-on survival horror! Sooo hyped! 😭
Alan Wake: Remastered is announced and according to a one month old press release, Remedy is working on two games, one which is a smaller project and also a bigger one, both from the same IP. It essentially confirms that Alan Wake 2 is in development. It is the bigger project, while the remastered version of the first game is the smaller one.
This ended up being so much better than it looked here
They did it guys
All us die hard Alan wake fans that so desperately wanted the mainstream gamers to accept Alan wake 1 so we would get a sequel , and it never happened ... We never got this game... but what we did get, was worth the 13 year wait... still I would love to play even just this 1 demo level.
This definitely needs to happen.
I'm so angry right now
GavinGT Don't be, at least they're not saying they'll never make it.
The Vicatorian I can't be mad at Remedy or Microsoft. I understand the financial reality. I just wish things went differently.
They are still making it. In a interview with Game Informer Sam Lake said that after Quantum Break they will make Alan Wake 2.
Since Alan Wake 2 is out now, it'd be fun to play this as a night spring episode
This concept was confirmed to be used in quantum break
It's not a loop. It's a spiral.
This is a bit of a long post but I have to get all this out of my head loll.
This game was the definition of near perfect writing! The story was such a breath of fresh air for me! The dynamics the game used to tell the story was compelling: the TV series like presentation, the music whenever it was featured, the manuscripts, that both foretold and foreshadowed events in the game! The environment, the characters, and how all these elements stayed consent to the narration. The voice acting and dialogue was literally 10/10 too!
And man this story! the plot and its various elements! This game actually has a deep lore! The way the plot thickens gradually...and how as you play along uncovering more clues, you start to both understand more and yet also somehow the more confused some things seem and the more curious you become. The more answers you get, the more questions you have! And yet it does not feel at all like the plot is overwhelming or "going away" from you. All dialogue set pieces were spot on, including whenever aspects such as humour was used in the game. Nothing ever felt forced! This was pure genius writing IMO!
Finally how the game explores the fight between light vs the dark so literally...where you are literally shiny a light etc at these dark enemies to help destroy them! It was very cool combat mechanics! And it's sad that after the 1st game and it's two DLCS the series just stalled.
AW is not a perfect game but had a lot of things done perfectly. It is honestly one of the best games ever made in the horror genre! Very original!
Looking at this gameplay footage it is obvious how much passion was continued to be poured into it by the Devs and team. And all of this just makes me so sad that the series just stalled! It's mind boggling! What an absolute shame if this little gem is never explored further 😢
This game still needs to happen, I don't care how long remedy want to take but Alan wake 1 Is one of my favourite games.
yes !
Well your dreams have came true
@@jungsuhoohan641 legend!
I really like how the enemy just grabbed the other guys thrown axe from the truck, that would have been an "oh shit" moment for me lmao
love how developers just try to push the ai to the limits like with FEAR,
every detail helps.
Whatever they do with Alan Wake 2 in 2023, they need to include that The Verve track
Finally...after 11 years...our wish is granted
Alan Wake 2 100% confirmed and now watching this old gameplay i remember myself as a kid that was screaming when this demo was shown. Respect to Sam Lake for his hard work and his faith in Alan Wake game series
God damn it, it hurts me deep in the heart
Anyone else just see this show up on their feed?
I want this to be real :(
Really seems like this version of Alan Wake 2 would be similar to the original/AN. It makes me glad they were never able to make it until now. What they ended up making was in a whole other league than what this concept looks like. Really goes to show that sometimes waiting is the better choice than rushing to make the next game. Sometimes the technology just needs to catch up to what you truly want to make.
Who else wants this to be an exta in the game when it finally releases?
Edit: We got AW 2 and man it was worth the wait.
This looks pretty damn good! Really hope they decide to go back and expand upon this at some point in the future. Either was I just hope we get another Alan Wake some day! Love their taste in music at 7:34 !
I have a feeling someone from Remedy will be looking at comments, so: For fuck's sake, run a Kickstarter to fund Alan Wake 2 as a PC release and think about consoles as a secondary platform. You'll be funded within 48 hours. I have no idea what the first game's Steam sales numbers look like but I'm *sure* they must have been higher than all console unit sales combined. (EDIT THIS IS WRONG SORRY)
This is ridiculous, I find it absolutely criminal that you people are sitting on this awesome franchise, this awesome GAME, and not doing anything about it for lack of publisher interest.
FUCK publishers. Publish it yourself. Remedy owns the Alan Wake IP last I checked, what are you waiting for?
fozzibab I am not a fan of Kickstarter, but hell yea I would donate the game full price $60 and then buy the game again for full price when it releases. The game that I enjoyed the most can't even find a publisher? Fuck that.
fozzibab according to Steam Spy Alan Wake sold 1.5 million on PC. Since the game sold a little more than 3 million it was 50% on PC an 50% on Xbox 360. So this " I'm sure they must have been higher than all console unit sales combined" it's a Nope.
Jonathan Elias Aw, lame. Can you provide a source link for the Steam sales numbers? I would be interested in seeing that so I can fact-check other stuff.
fozzibab it's true....steam spy is a website that collects players data on the steam servers and they accordingly calculate the number of owners of the game activated on their account.....they are reliable too.
Duck Soccer Steam Spy! Awesome, thanks.
Dam man, this look mad fang tastic, watching this after finishing Alan wake remastered, no game ever comes close to how awesome that game is!
Bullshit! This looks better than Quantum Break god damn it. I understand the money thing and that's why QB is being made instead of AW2 but come on! Look how good that looks, and it's an internal prototype using an old engine and assets and not even "playable". Ugh, AW2 better come after QB. In 2022 though...
I really hope that Remedy didn't forget or give up that concept of enemies constantly interacting with the environment. It's been 10+ years and still no game makes it look so impressive. Seeing this in the actual upcoming AW2 release would be amazing.
the ford and shell Ads lol
Yeah remember the Energizer batteries in AW1? Also I think Alan's cell phone was Verizon lol. Thankfully Remedy didn't have to do any of that since Epic financed the development of AW 2.
I hope they implement these features into Alan Wake 2.
I can't believe the sales of this game were bad. It's a legendary game! I must have played about 6 times now, and I never tire of it.
I consider Alan Wake very underrated, the game was truly excellent, dark gritty atmosphere with some solid shooting mechanics and some tense moments. It wasn't flashy like Uncharted and such but does it really need to be? I much prefer games with solid core mechanics, good atmosphere and interesting narrative.
Anyone else NEED to see that episode of Night Springs they teased or is it just me? Plus, super cool they already had Watery planned that far ahead. Like Ahti with his post card in Control.
Why was this never made? I would play the hell out of it.
+Sean Gildersleeve 50% of it ended in the mini sequel Alan Wake American Nightmare.

According to rumors, Alan Wake 2 entered the production recently!
And it's out now .
Now I'm happy that it didn't happen back then
Alan Wake 2 deserves a sequel. one of the best games of all time in my opinion.. and as fans what we got to do is start tweeting Phil Spencer head of Microsoft & tell them as Xbox console owners we want a sequel to Alan Wake remedy entertainment said in an interview a few months back they be willing to make it actually they want to make it but Microsoft has to give the okay. If we tweet & let them know we want it and maybe just maybe it gets made
Remedy owns Alan Wake I guess the name Microsoft owns the IP and remedy entertainment currently has a new game coming out called control which is scheduled to be released sometime soon usually the company develops two games simultaneously I'm just hoping Alan Wake gets in development regardless of what system I own them all
The thing is remedy actually said in an interview a couple months ago that they want to make Alan Wake 2 but they can't until Phil Spencer says they can they pitched him a few years back on Alen Wake 2 and he passed on it for Quantum break which I loved but Alan Wake is my favorite game of all time and it really does deserve a sequel the ending was such a cliffhanger it needs a conclusion
2022 bright falls
8 years later, we got it.
Now that we are getting a sequel, I wonder how much it's going to differentiate from this original concept.

Thank god they scrapped this, they had the balls to know they needed to up their game. Looks literally like more of the same of the original.
It wasn't "scrapped" because they had the "balls," it was "scrapped" because Microsoft passed on funding the full-fledged sequel. Microsoft did, however, fund a smaller scale successor called American Nightmare, so they didn't "scrap" this at all. They took what they had and it was reconfigured into American Nightmare.
Same. I'm glad we ended up with what we got, worth the wait.
The actual game was so much better. The wait was worth it
It's really cool seeing a few of the aspects from the demo, still in the sequel. (clearly one of the Koleko bros) is the intro/outro. But changed them to what they are.
Honestly, I'm glad it sat cooking for so long, what we got was so friggin amazing. I feel it should have got GoTY. But i didn't play it till after the holidays.
I have a feeling they’re going to incorporate a lot of this in the upcoming AW2 DLCs.
This was actually so cool with all those mechanics back day
There is still a chance of this being a part of the Night Springs DLC
Such an amazing demo. Almost everything in it feels like a perfect sequel. I especially love the enemies's interaction with the world. It doesn't feels like a small work just to test ideas, it feels like a true sequel and good one at that. Remedy, come on, please make Alan Wake 2...
Thank God we got some real gem! Alan Wake 2 turned out to be one of the best games ever made!
Damn...and I mean damn this looks good. I can see the concepts that went from here to QB, but in my opinion I think the reason why Remedy shelved AW was to make the notion that he was stuck in darkness fighting (or typing) to write himself out while Scratch and Alice were free, all the more real...After QB is AW 2, by that time it will be at least 8 years (since AW 1 released in 2010).
so far it looks like sagas path in alan wake 2 will have the original idea for alan wake 1. an open world version of bright falls where you talk to locals in the day and hunt at night. while alans story is gonna be stuck inside an altered version of new york and be pure horror..
rewriting reality within the dark place. not 100% certain but Lakes interviews seem to point to that
That's basically how it plays out. I like Saga's chapters a bit more personally. Just better horror IMO. Of course Alan has the incredible "we sing it" chapter.
Saga is garbage
i really want to cry after watching this, Alan wake IS my no 1 game for me the game is a masterpiece, the gameplay, the story/narrative, the world, the universe, the horror and the pacing of the game is spot on all of the aspects are perfect. Alan Wake is the only game that i'm truly enjoy the narration all the voice actor, music and sound design is superb, this game makes me want to hear the Night Spring (in-game TV shows) until the TV shut it self, makes me want to hear the radio, and makes me want to read the scattered script and listen to the narration immedieatly. an amazing concept of a game. i wish there's some kind of an e-book for Alan Wake or simply the audio of the scatterd script of the narration will suffice my nostalgia. i absolutely love this game i hope Alan Wake 2 is a thing in not so distant future using this demo ideas and mechanics and added a lot new more since the technology is far more advance now
If anyone will wonder, "what's the title of this song at the end???", I'm already saying it's Tom Waits - Goin' out West
Thank you sir 👋🤘
Congratulations! It's on the way! 🍻
