Remedy gets Alan Wake publishing rights from Microsoft
- Thread starter Hamster Plugin
- Start date
Ps crowd wanting Alan wake is not surprising due to the genre and how 3rd person action adventure is extremely popular on PS.
But yeah wanting next one as excluisves is weird .let everyone enjoy it since first one was on another platform to begin with
that's great. I'm hoping for a sequel. I'm always in favor of the developer getting the rights instead of a publisher who usually doesn't care.
I agree, Remedy deserve all the support and success they can get. They are such an amazing Dev team and push technology. I love their quirky games and Ive had to play every one of their games until completion. I cannot wait for Control! RTX on baybee!
But wanting Alan Wake 2 stuck to the playstation platform is an insult to the original fans of the game, very strange posts in here mentioning that. Even exclusive content would be wack!
I have to agree. Alan Wake was great, but I'm not sure what a sequel could bring to the table that wouldn't be better handled with a new IP, unless they literally just made more of the same game which is also not a great option
I feel like a sequel has a ton of sales potential due to it becoming somewhat of a cult classic, with a fanbase that didn't stop asking for a sequel even after all those years.
This seems to be exactly the same trajectory that Nier went through, with the exception that the first Alan Wake is already quite polished, so a remaster could make even more people interested in the sequel, and the advantage that Alan Wake was a bigger commercial success than Nier, even if it still didn't do huge numbers at launch.
Seeing how many Playstation only players still want to play it even after such a long time reinforces that.
I hope Control does really well, because I feel like 505 would be a great business partner going forward, but I don't know any behind the scenes info, so that may be just an impression.

The word "reverted" in the official press release makes me believe the publishing rights for the IP had some sort of clause that said if MS publishes an Alan Wake title, it will extend those right out and that time frame has now come and passed.
I'm really interested to see who Remedy shops an Alan Wake 2 around to see if it ultimately ends up multiplatform. The first game remade using ray tracing would be pretty awesome.

Please, no!
I don't want to wait 5 years from the Kickstarter announcement to see some lower budget version. If they are doing it, release it on everything and treat it as a proper triple A. PC version with an amazing RTX next gen version please.
Alan wake was a great game.
I think it could sell decently if multiple platform,
Ray tracing with a next gen Alan wake, yes please.

I have something important to tell you. It goes like this:
For he did not know, that beyond the lake he called home, lies a deeper, darker ocean green;
where waves are both wilder and more serene.
To its ports I've been. To its ports I've been.
Do you understand?
Can't fault Remedy for trying new IP's and it's not like MS have been asking for a sequel or even a remaster, despite owning it.
Why are you struggling with this so much? He wants to get into Alan Wake and is hoping he can play the first game along with anything else to come along. It's not very hard to grasp.
I'd be into it just because of how much I like the setting, but I prefer Control's approach to level design than full blown open world.
As someone who preferred Xbox since the 360 and considers himself a Remedy fan: I'd be fine with a PS exclusive Alan Wake Remaster/sequel or Remedy game in general because Sony handles these story heavy single player games much better than Microsoft.
Somewhere in The Oldest House, in a secret area that is very hard to find, we'll find Mr. Scratch, contained.
Do it, Remedy, you have full Control over the IP now, the voice actor is already working on the game, just take a few of his lines and throw there randomly, who cares.
Reboot what? They don't have any AW game in development right now.
What I mean is, if a new Alan Wake gets announced it can be a sequel or a reboot. I'm reminded of the old footage of a version of Alan Wake that was scrapped, and I'm wondering if Remedy feels like they could make that original version come true.
For that price there has to be a remaster or sequel on the way. I adored Alan Wake on the 360 so I'm in either way.
It can be a sequel set in an open world, doesn't have to be a reboot.
I'm so excited for this, when I read the title I almost jumped out of my seat.
Alan Wake is in my top ten games, the story, the setting, the atmosphere, it's just perfect for me.
Been hangin' on that cliff for a reeeeeeeal long time now, Remedy... Let's do this. It's not a lake, it's an ocean.

Things seemed to have turned sour between the two, at least on Remedy's end, so I doubt there was much chance of this. Maybe even to the point they wouldn't want Sony either but they do seem to be interacting more openly with PS people as of late.
