Can we acknowledge that this game pulled off the impossible: all the chapter songs were bangers
Only Ahti's yötön yö was a banger. They should've hired Paavoharju and such instead of this wishy washy pop stuff. "I follow you into the dark", jesus, no stomach to it.
Fo real! Great job team 👏 literally on my gym playlist
@@huhummmmmmm LMAO
Yeah, they're all lovely.
I like all of them so I ended up buying the whole album on iTunes.
Every time I see Sam Lake, I instantly smile, no matter how shit my day has been. Never change man, never change!
This is so accurate, I don't even know why at this point :D
@@zheydhan665 it is so nostalgic to see his face, and it increases by the fact that they haven't done a bad game yet
Hes just got good vibes. Absolutely loves what he does
@@c1borgencrossfirex single player campaign exists but we can just chalk it up to them just being forced to do it and Sam lake not being on the project. I’ll forgive it.
If He and David Lynch ever collaborate it might break the internet. It would be incredible to see their ideas mesh in a work of art.
Hearing the "Wide Awake" song after Wake emerges back into the real world was genuinely emotional for me. A great song.
I cried with that masterpiece, "nightmares finally over, now I'm wide awake".
Yea that scene hit hard.
Yep it brought me to tears aswell, from both a sense of excitement and joy that Alan was finally free from the Darkplace
Just finished my second playthrough on Final Draft and yes, again, I felt quite emotional at this very moment. Been listening to the song and the rest of them quite a bit after my first playthrough, so knew it was coming, but man - it fits so well in that exact moment!
Lol how? It's just generic pop music. Follow you into the dark was the only good song I thought
It is impossible to dislike Sam Lake. He truly is an artist in an industry that is completely forgetting about the art aspect of video games.
I like how much attention Remedy pay to art in their games. And it's very cool to see them choose Scandinavian musicians to relay Scandinavian vibes of their games. Authenticity matters.
Nordic, not Scandinavian. Finland is not part of Scandinavia.
Also, nordic music has nothing to do with pacific northwest, so choice of music might be right for aesthetics and mood but has nothing to do with authenticity.
@@fixxer47 a large part of AW2 story happens in Watery - a town founded by Finnish immigrants. So nordic music has everything to do with it.
@@LuxintN7 wow, I did not know that! Thanks for explanation
Avoid useless talks with this simple trick: never say scandinavian, always say fennoscandia.
i just wanna hug this f*cking guy. i've never been so happy for someone i don't even know, but you can see his eyes light up EVERY time he talks about this project, even years ago.
Relax
So proud to be part of this epic video game. And to have three of my songs selected for the Soundtrack is an absolute honor.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Really? Sweet, I can't wait to hear them on my first playthrough, great to hear from the people who work on amazing projects like this. Remedy's always had great taste in their soundtracks, I'm sure you made it in for a reason. Keep on keepin' on!
Oh, I didn't realize until I saw this comment that you wrote for Wide Awake and Night Springs as well!
This project really enhanced my experience with the game. Finishing a chapter and reflecting on what just happened is such a different experience when you can listen to the song, read the lyrics and the words you're absorbing are actually about what you're trying to process.
Listening to Superhero really made me connect more to Saga and what was going through her mind. The dialogue in the game made me understand what was troubling her. But the song made me actually feel what she was feeling and that made the experience way more emotional and almost brought me to tears.
thanks to alan wake i found you and now one more artist is part of my favorite playlists my favorite one is superhero. very delicate voice with powerful lyrics Regards from Honduras
I know superhero, which of the other songs are also your songs?
@@mcsisawesome Apparently she contributed to writing/producing Wide Awake and Night Springs as well. If you pause the video at 7:10 you can see the songs that have "Yasmeen Semaan" in the credits
It continues to blow my mind the amount of passion being put into this game. It literally leaves me speechless. Every time I’ve watched Sam or any of developers talk about this project you can see the amount of love they have for it. I came to Remedy games late and was introduced to them via Control but they’ve since skyrocketed to be my favorite developer simply because of the love they have for their projects. I can’t wait for the future and see what else Remedy has in store for us.
Right !! Beautiful game and it shows 💪🏽
Same here, I had never payed attention until control and then became an instant fan after that game, watched the playthroughs for all their other games and am currently playing Alan Wake 2, one of the best games I've played in the last decade, no exaggeration, the lack of battle passes and micro transactions, with just focus and passion for a fun experience and great story is extremely refreshing and respectable
Props to Remedy as the only large studio that puts art and creativity before business!
Remedy and Sucker Punch
ZU/UM with Disco Elysium and Larian studios with Baldurs Gate 3 or Divinity Original Sin series?
They are not really large, more like medium size.
Вот это точно сказано!
@@Malirohwasn't ZU/UM stolen from the original founders?
Nah these songs are crazy good. Every single one of them. Remedy is truly a magical group. I wish I could work with them in the future.
We must support them at all costs!
You can really feel Sam's passion. There needs to be more like him in the industry. It's sad they've had to take a loan to carry on. I hope they can get to pay it back so they stay independent. Alan Wake 2 certainly needs more recognition!
What a Genius Sam Lake is. I remember with Alan Wake they had some licensing issues since they only last so long when you *rent* the songs out. This way they will never have that issue since its tailor made for the game.
"Follow you into the dark" gave me incredible feeling of the game atmosphere! And others too! Can't wait to have all the songs on RUclips music!
My Wife and I danced to Wide Awake at our wedding earlier this month. Such a beautiful song!
My favorite studio. Stay weird, Remedy.
Cure this industry.
I had no idea the chapter songs were composed specifically for Alan Wake 2. They’re so good they should be topping charts.
With how much I loved Poe - Haunted in the first Alan Wake, I was so happy they got her back to record an original song for Alan Wake II, let alone for it to be Alan's recurring chapter song. She is a part of this franchise IMO.
Took me a few chapters to realize what was going on! 😂 so good
Hearing Haunted by Poe in AW1 was such a wonderful moment, and it looks like the sequel is ready to blow us away.
That album was one of my favorites when it first came out, so when I heard her songs in the game I was so ecstatic!
Especially considering that House of Leaves was a source of inspo for Sam Lake! Having Poe in the games is such a nice full circle moment
Sam even got Poe to return for an absolute banger of a track in Alan Wake 2. In fact it’s the one song that works on so many different levels in the game it’s staggering. Pity they didn’t include it on the Chapter Songs album. It’s called “This Road”. You can find it in RUclips. The 9min version.
God, I miss Poe! I really hope This Road is just a teaser for new music to come! 🙏
Remedy, thank you for all you do. You helped me get through a really bad depressive episode in my life. Can't wait to see our boy Alan again! Love all of you.
Glad you found your way. Depression is a deep dark well to fall into.
"Wide Awake" is incredible. The first time I heard it I fell in love with it. Great job by remedy and friedmusic.
Same! Such a beautiful song with powerful lyrics. Vocals are amazing too!
I felt the same way. I'm 63 and I cried when I first heard Wide Awake.
You can see the love that Sam have for his work and for this franchise.
He definitly looks like he works so much because it's his pation. He is invisted/commited with love for his work like it's pure art. The game is probably the best 70$ investissement i did in videogames in the last 5 years.
This song, Follow you into the dark, is so gorgeous... it gave me shivers as soon as I have started listening to it and now every time I hear it, I am soooo moved. I will live on beyond the story. The entire soundtrack is incredible!
Continues to look (and sound) absolutely wonderful! Remedy, you absolute maniacs.
It's very rare that a game or any piece of media gets such a giant, giant leap for a sequel. Y'all really went all guns ablaze with Alan Wake 2.
I don’t know if you guys really REALLY know what kind of masterpiece you created, I enjoyed every single moment I spent in the game! Recently I’m obsessed with “Herald of Darkness” and yesterday, during my breakfast, I started the song on my tv, singing and dancing it 😂 thank you very much for what you all did, you are amazing ❤️
follow you into the dark has been one of my top favorite songs since i heard it. it’s honestly so amazing and just beautiful
The journey the player takes in this game is absolutely spectacular. Thank you Remedy for all your hard work in shaping this game into what it has become! The songs were HITS, not just music accompanying the game.
Man this is the full multi media experience. The game, live action and music all in one cohesive unit
These chapter songs really went in. I still listen to them all the time.
These songs are all top notch, this shouldn't be allowed. What a masterpiece of a videogame. Congrats to each and everyone who contributed to its creation. This was really special.
The soundtrack was so epic. I hope more people experience this masterpiece of art!
I love that Remedy is getting the opportunity to put the love and attention into their games that they deserve
3:28 that woman on the right side of the screen gets jumpscared by the game's teaser trailer haha
This is... so in-depth!! Cannot wait to listen to all these songs! Just from this, they sound pretty varied in their sound and tone. Exciting stuff!
I sure hope Poets of the Fall got a track or 2 in the game. One of the most memorable parts in any video game I've ever played was Alan fighting off waves of taken on the Old Gods of Asgard Stage in the first game.
Also when Jesse has to go through the Ashtray Maze was pretty epic.
I've been waiting for this game for sooooo long... You guys know how to take games to an whole new level. Thank you for your years or hard work to everyone involved.
Old Gods of Asgard is in the game. They are releasing a greatest hits album called "Rebirth - Greatest Hits" on December 8 this year. It will include four new songs from which three of them are from Alan Wake 2 (eight songs altogether)..
they have 3 songs in it, and they're all amazing, especially Herald of darkness and dark ocean summoning
They returned with a vengeance.
It's incredible how remedy is treating this game with such special care, something that is lacking in the gaming industry nowadays. The passion and effort they're putting into it truly shine through, making it seem like they're taking care of it as if it were their own child.
2:32 That gave me goosebumps. Can't wait for this incoming masterpiece.
The best game of 2023 by far, this game is a piece of art. Congrats, I am a big fan now. Love it
It is an immense joy to see all you guys' work and passion across the years finally come out. I love how happy Sam Lake is about all this, it is as much a memory for us as it is for you. I will carry this experience and the ones led up to it as long as I am around.
I can't wait to hear the epic rock hymns of Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard. I love music, I love Remedy games, this is the perfect blend for me. Much love to you, Sam Lake and everyone at Remedy. ❤
Thank you Remedy for not giving up on us or skimping on quality. I'm just beyond excited that Alan Wake 2 is even happening! I had almost lost hope I'd ever see a sequel, and then I came across the "This House of Dreams" ARG years ago and my hope was rekindled. I was just listening to "No I don't Remember" by (Anna Turnheim?) and "Haunted" by Poe and just thinking how much love was put into the soundtrack. This is gonna be epic!
Never has a game affected me in a way that Alan Wake 2 has. Everything about it shows passion for art and all the mediums it comes in. Gives me tears of joy.
I've been playing games for almost 30 years and I don't remember another game that uses music in such a deep way. Hats off to everyone involved.
Thanks Remedy for this masterpiece, I got sadness and happyness at same time, in the same game... some tears droped in both stages, but, its the part of the show, get involved, the meaning of ART! I cant thank enought for this experience.
"nightmares finally over, now I'm wide awake".
I cried witth that masterpiece, thank you guys.
The music in this game is awesome, it all fits really well. I think the most powerful music I have ever experienced in life is the music produced in concert with a story, that has real meaning and connection to the themes and events of the story it’s linked with.
beautiful game and beautiful music 10/10
You guys absolutely killed this one. I love the music. I love how it's actually ABOUT the story and isn't just a needle drop of some popular song.
every time I hear "Superhero" stong start, I just tear up...
I am in love with the songs "Follow You Into The Dark" and "Wide Awake". So good!
This is gonna be a beautiful experience
Guys, I love you SO MUCH for all the amazing songs/music you always included in your worlds. For me the music is something really important as a part in my live, so once again THANK YOU :3
Loved the episode credits music in the first Alan Wake, especially the episode two ending song Haunted by Poe. So epic! Can not wait for more of those moments in the new game!
If this game doesn't win best music at the game awards it'll be a crime.
The entire OST has been on repeat ever since. Keep it up Remedy!!
I've been listening to the Chapter Songs album on loop. I hope the full soundtrack can be released soon!
The whole game is a masterpiece of art, I really enjoyed it to play it through (for the first time, more to follow) and I definitely recognised the love, patience and dedication that went into this piece of art! A must-be candidate for the Game of the Year nominees! taiteen mestariteos !! kiitosta joukkueelle!
My personal GOTY. Thank you for this experience.
I haven’t stopped looping this album. Thanks for letting me spiral into madness listening to all of these fantastic tracks. Amazing job! 💯
All the songs from AW and Control are amazing! You have done an amazing work!
For me what makes the entire Alan’s and Alice’s story arch is Wide Awake and No One Left To Love
Thank you for pulling Poe into making a song--a fantastic one, too
Best game I"ve ever played.
Easily!
I was inspired to come watch this video after hearing a few of the tracks on my first playthrough of the game. What a fantastic idea to do this collaboration, it really elevates the experience and finishing a chapter to hear one of the tracks is a real highlight. Well done everyone, I'm absolutely loving the game 🤩
And you guys did a great job! All the songs are 100% certified bangers!
I loved all the music between chapters! Always stopped and listened
Follow you into the Dark - Hands down one of the most epic OTS from a game. It instantly captivate and haunt you the moment the music strike your ear drums
This is how you make a memorable game
This soundtrack is absolutly awsome❤❤❤
Awsome soundtrack and a awsome Game❤❤❤
Remedy is definately a giant. when it comes to game experiences and immersion they always blew my mind, I simply cannot tell another game studio like this except Rockstar, its always great to hear what Sam Lake have to say about his games, it's always great to listen to him, and I do have a special connection to Finland, it's hard to explain, but it makes me feel so proud of Remedy... 💜
The soundtrack of this game is just so good. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 phenomenal work
Alan Wake 2 is the real Game Of The Year for 2023
I love that Remedy has so many behind the scenes videos, and it wasnt just there for false hype; the game lives up to the words they say in the videos. That makes you realize they made all these videos to document something they knew they were proud of and the gane was going to be great.
Music in this game is on another level
I'm here Just to say thanks to sam lake for going against the people who said to remove from the game,the part with poets of the fall in Allan's wake part,with the musical in giant screens!!! It was the best part/ the most fan and enjoyable part and also very unique, i haven't seen again something like this in any other game, i loved it!! Thanx again Sam for not letting them remove that part and thanx poets of the fall for that great song!!!!! Its just amazing and love the electric guitar in it!!!! and also the other one with saga, the summoning was great too!!! Thumbs-up!!!!! 👍👍👍
Hyped to play this! Thanks Remedy, Sam Lake and Team!
The chapter songs are masterpieces. Follow you into the Dark is amazing. Night Springs is an absolute bop.
The Music and songs in this game are incredible, Herald of Darkness, Wide awake, This Road, Follow you into the Dark
Alan wake 2 is a masterpiece
This thing they've made can't be classified as a game but a work of art. Remedy never disappoints.
Some of the best music i have ever heard in a game. Incredible work by Remedy and these talented artists. Very powerful and the perfect way to end the individual chapters.
Придумать и реализовать Alan Wake 2 - это гениально! Команде Ремеди респект!
I’m playing Alan Wake 2 and am loving all the songs. The Alan Wake games and Control have great music in them. Listening to them is definitely helping with my own song writing and producing. Really great stuff!
Beautifully made game and music. Loved every second I spent in these games.
The music was so good, it ended up making me excited to get to the end of chapters, and hear the next song. Loved the touch of sagas chapters having different songs, while wakes were all parts of the same song. My favorite chapter transition had to be the police station to "Dark, Twisted, and Cruel."
Glad music is being incorporated with the art and context of the game. Kinda reminds me of the movie the master. All the music and songs are so interwoven with the plot it’s remarkable.
I cannot wait to see this game in all its glory
Thank you Sam for everything, for so many wonderful experiences. And thanks to all the artists who make it possible. Love for everyone.
Masterpiece of the video games ever! Alan Wake!
Yup
The concept of chapter songs is soooo amazing!!
This man's enthusiasm and smile is breathtaking every time. He has this weird effect on me i can't help but smile and feel the good vibes.
Incredible ost, absolutely amazing
Remedy's created something really special here with the amount of media tied to AW2, and I feel there are very few game OSTs that I can listen to as songs as part of my daily playlist. Lost as Sea is one of those songs and is easily my favorite.
I absolutely fucking love Sam Lake. What a sincere, talented and humble man he is. I always feel inspired after hearing him speak. Such brilliant music. I listen to all the songs regularly since hearing them in-game.
Yesterday I just started playing the Alan Wake soundtrack when I went to sleep, and today we get this. I know this isn't necessarily synchronicity, but it feels like it, you know.
Syncronicity happening. I don't even know why I am here. I don't even play games and music style is not my cup of tea. But somehow I am here. go figure
Loving the music samples shown here. This game is going to be truly something special. Excited to FEAST!!! :D
BROOO this game was too good. Masterpiece.
Just finished the game a few hours ago. You guys made something special. Truly.
Just bought Alan Wake Remastered, Control and Alan Wake 2 ready to experience the RCU because I'm feeling passion in these people
Congratulations to the entire team. I'm playing a work of art with this incredible soundtrack. Thank you for leaving the obvious and elevating creativity to the maximum. The industry needs this!
Can we just appreciate the creative genius that is Sam Lake. This man has been entertaining us with their games since 1996 with Death Rally. Later in 2001 with the amazing Max Payne franchise and from 2016 and on with Quantum Break, Control and Alan Wake!
Ahh I love how it's still episodic with music at the end just perfect
One day, i hope, Remedy takes all these seasoned ingredients and creates a swan song for a silver haired Max. One last glorious, monolouging note of Payne.
