Oh please be true, this has been a dream of mine since (before) the first launched. I LOVE Alan Wake.

Jeff Grubb: I have heard Remedy is going to make Alan Wake 2 with Epic

That would be incredible, if true. Alan Wake is still one of my all time favorite games.
Hopefully, if this is true, they aren't just starting into it right now, or it will be a LONG wait. lol

I never really got the hype behind Alan Wake but i remember when that Blair Witch game got revealed at the Xbox showcase a while ago..folks were into the idea. Curious to see what happens with this.
It's April Fools tomorrow. Not believing any news anyone says today or tomorrow. But with that being said, you should all play the Control DLC. It's happening either way.
It launched the same day as Red Dead Redemption and shortly before Super Mario Galaxy 2, all the air was sucked out of the room by those titles.
Because having games segregated on PC is a huge pain in the ass with different platforms that don't even have the feature support and massive convenience that STEAM has... hell STEAM even actually allows some people like be to actually buy the game due to its community market place run by a user made economy and it has a Wallet system which can be funded through wallet codes and it having many payment methods that other platforms don't support.
There's also the fact that Valve is the most least likely to shut down or close steam in the near future because they have a rich private company that are not in any danger and don't seem to handle their platform with a hands on approach but a hands OFF approach. people feel 'secure' with their games on steam because steam hasn't f***ed with their games in more than a decade...
PC isn't anything simple like console. There are different practical ground realities when it comes to the user experience and them being a pain in the ass for the user.
Epic Publishing is going to be a powerhouse soon enough.
Such a sweet deal.
Why is that?
Didnt like Alan Wake and Control?
I loved Alan wake but have yet to play control however my reasoning is because its EGS exclusive and if you wanna still wanna why? then i just replied to another poster why its not possible for me to buy it just above. I'll just quote myself from that post.Epic Publishing is going to be a powerhouse soon enough.

Hahah i WISH but i doubt it and find it unlikely since its not a moneyhat but Epic publishing it and funding it.
This isn't related to EGS deals, though. It's a publishing branch from Epic. I know we should expect the game to be exclusive to EGS on PC but if you're not comfortable with using their launcher for whatever reason, it'll be on consoles as well.
Epic is funding 100% of the game (including marketing) and developers are still getting at least 50% after costs are recouped. And they still get the IP and complete creative freedom.
If, however, your stance is to never support Epic no matter what they do because of their stance on Steam, there's nothing that can be done. Just a heads-up, though: both Valve and Epic are private companies. The only difference (I think) is that Gabe Newell owns 100% of Valve and Tim Sweeney doesn't own all of Epic, but still the majority.
Really? Thats crazy. I thought Alan Wake came out way before Read Dead.
Alan Wake also still holds up. A really fun game to play still. The difficult level on the default difficulty is also sublime. And obviously some amazing atmosphere.
I dont think the publishing deal means perpetual exclusivity.
Ill have to check the docs but a Steam version should show up eventually.
Yes, but then again we can put stipulations to anything before we decide to purchase/play them.
PS5, Series X?
Its probably 2 years out so youve got time to get a console.
True. There was a rumor Sony is interested. Guess that rumor is now dead.
This was the EGS endgame. Had to get their foot in the door and build up business relationships (not-UE-related) first.
So? You know what isn't exclusive to PC/EGS? A little game called Fortnite. I don't think they care about keeping their games off of consoles, as much as they don't want to give a cut of their sales on PC to their competitors in that space? This game is 100% coming to every platform that can run it/also has Fortnite on it.
Why bummer for Xbox? Also, while it's been years (sometime after the QB release), wasn't there some sort of falling out between MS and Remedy?
I have a Series S!
So .. should I just be happy?
Great
Right. Well i only own a PC from 2003 and have upgraded it slowly throughout the decades... console price and their game prices are through the roof here touching 10K PKR and console prices are like 70K PKR or 90K PKR so its impossible for me where i live.
As for the company aspect which you just explained. Yeah its a reality which you described but i have confidence in the STEAM service since Valve had a handoff approach with it for a long time. Through their works you can see options for the customer being a priority whether its making games for multiple platforms, STEAM VR supporting any PC VR device or not paying developers to not put other games on competing software platforms... Epic have a nasty history with PC gaming which they abandoned the PC market when they weren't making much money, calling us PC customers as pirates and PC not a gaming platform thats profitable anymore.
Anyways iam not saying that Epic are entitled to put it on STEAM or anything like that but with their actions surrounding the current PC gaming space and the lack of my ability to secure my game for the near future and not experience headache with it. I'll have to sadly pass this opportunity to support the game there..
You deserve to be happy. Go get it!
EPIC is not in the business of selling PC hardware. That is not their M.O. They just want you to, if you are playing on PC, buy your games on EGS, but they are just happy taking your money on XBOX, Playstation, Switch, Android...wherever.
Can't imagine how good it will look and what crazy scenarios they come up with. Also, please remaster the 360 version or at least bump it up in BC!
I'm unaware of the falling out, but I meant just a bummer that they're losing the exclusive
Not really surprised, it was the obvious course after the AWE DLC. Personally kinda whatever about an AW2, as the first was always just kinda eh in the gameplay department.
Hopefully a second would be a lot more enjoyable to play gameplay mechanic wise.

MS only had the publishing rights to the first Alan Wake. Remedy owns the IP. MS didn't lose anything since they didn't have it in the first place.
Remedy own the IP.
MS hasnt lost shit.....hell they specifically didnt want to publish Alan Wake 2.
So we got AA and then Quantum Break.
