Awesome. I wanted to play again sometime. Hopefully the remaster has some justice on new hardware.
You'd have to think that Epic is going to cover whatever revenue they may have gotten from other stores. Remedy seems like the big one for Epic.
This is sort of interesting. So sounds like no major gameplay changes. The character model bit is interesting so did only Alan's model get revamped or did other models as well? Cinematics looked like ass even when it released so hopefully Remedy can polish it to something on par with Quantum Break's (Control's cinematics were uh pretty bad).
I've seen literally 0 footage of this game before and have no idea what it is whatsoever, other than hearing people say it's good. So interested to see what it's like.
EGS exclusive again? Ugh, I hope I'll get a nice discount by the time it hits Steam/GOG not only for a year wait, but for owning both original AW and American Nightmare too.
When Remedy and Epic announced their partnership they stated that both projects are part of the same franchise, so Alan Wake 2 is basically confirmed as well.
I bet they're trying to make him look more like the actor who plays him in live action.
"Alan Wake Remastered is the original experience you fell in love with all those years ago. We did not want to change that. But the visuals all around, including the character model of Alan Wake himself and the cinematics, have been updated and improved with some choice next-generation upgrades."
Epic funded and is publishing this. The rumour is that Epic is funding and publishing Alan Wake 2 as well. They'll never go to Steam.
I think I own Alan Wake on like 3 platforms and still haven't played it lol. I'll probably get this also either on PS5 or if it's on GP I'll just check it out on my Series X.
Edit: Actually I guess I only own it on 2, Steam and Xbox, still, never played it even though I bought it twice. I gotta stop doing that shit.

People are really conditioned to not buying games anymore hmm?
Played this for the first time last year - I'd definitely be up for a replay if they improved the horrible gameplay. The only downside to a otherwise fantastic game.
If there are no improvements to that I might use this as a chance for checking out the two DLC as well as American Nightmare (if that's included).

I see, well, if it's a publishing deal then all's fair. If it's what it takes to make AW2 reality then I'm fine with it (it's still sucks but that's beside the point).
It did not, but there was support for auto HDR.
Even if there was a resolution enhancement though there'd still be the issue of the pre-rendered cutscenes. They already looked a bit rough and blowing up the resolution of the in-game visuals would make them stand out even more. Hopefully this remaster will be able to make some notable improvements there.
Considering that Epic funded the game, they are literally losing money by publishing in EGS only without Steam. Though they will get their money back from consoles.
I hope they just leave the icon like this on the storefronts and never actually add the words Alan Wake to it.
The gameplay is far too repetitive to want to play this again. But, I'll keep an eye out in case they make improvements.
There better be substantial additions to the game outside of graphics, cutscenes because the game's gameplay is shallow as fuck.
Because otherwise, hard pass.
