UPDATE 7/2/19: Apparently Alan Wake is back on the market and the publishing rights are back with Remedy. Still, this game is worth remembering.
Alan Wake is off the market, and with Alan Wake 2 lost to the aether, it's time to see how this big-budget horror thriller became such a cult classic, and how its themes are carried throughout its story and gameplay.

Alan wake showed me as a kid that video games could be something more. Before Wake all I played were madden and LEGO games and I’m so glad Alan Wake showed me that video games can make me feel more than instant gratification. It really affected me and has stuck with me my entire life shaping who I am. I hope Remedy will be able to come back to Alan Wake in the future so I can feel the wonder I had playing the game for the first time.

@GreedAndSelfishness 6 лет назад

Why does everyone keep saying that Alan Wake will never get a sequel? Sam Lake himself said that they will continue Alan Wake when the time is right. Theyre not abandoning it, Alan Wake is very dear to them. I think theyre doing a very fitting, Twin Peaks thing. Twin peaks season 2 ended on a massive cliffhanger, and on very similiar situation as in Alan Wake. Both trapped in some darkness. Twin Peaks came back after many, many years and I believe Alan Wake will as well.

I hope so. I really think this is an amazing series.

PostMesmeric having just watched close encounters again I would love Stephen Spielberg would create an Alan Wake movie. He could very accurately create that night time feel as he nails in ET and Close Encounters. I wish someone could pitch his studio Alan Wake or send over a bunch of videos with the "other places bright falls" or poets of the fall "war" video. Id think he would get the concept as a film maker how this game could translate to film. I recently went to Washington state (Im British) and walking in the woods made me instantly think of Alam Wake. Its amazing how not having played it in years I can still think of that game. Thats how well it entrenches in my mind.

It's an absolute shame this masterpiece never got a sequel but on the other hand look at how water down every franchise becomes with each following sequel As much as I would love to see you franchise a one part masterpiece is acceptable

Alan Wake was one of my favorites of that console generation. I played through the whole game in one sitting on release day because it hooked me so hard.

@PleasantLeech 6 лет назад

Alan wake is still one of my favorite games of all times. I still remember the lyrics for the song poets of the fall sang, children of the elder gods, so catchy. Alan wake was just full of character. And I don't know if you've ever watched the concept trailer for alan wake 2 that came out a long time ago, but there was so much potential. Ill never give up hope for a sequel.

@GoldPhoenix99 6 лет назад

I mean, we got a second game, Alan Wake's American Nightmare. I really loved these games, to be honest. I didn't realize that Alan Wake was no longer being sold. That's really fucked up, since it's such a great goddamn game. I can't believe that devs are letting this die, all over music IP. It's nuts how music is licensed in games. Seriously, how the fuck did this happen? I'm so glad I bought both Alan Wake games.

It's nice to see someone give Alan Wake some love. I really enjoyed this game, and certainly would have taken a follow up to this over what Quantum Break. Your videos are actually pretty well put together. It reminds me of editorial youtube channels like Super Bunnyhop, Writing on Games, and Game Maker's Toolkit. Hopefully your channel will grow. I'm subscribing.

@DeadPalette 6 лет назад

The manuscript mechanic really worked for Alan Wake but I'm not sure how it could fit into games not playing with meta in some form or fashion. The discovery of pages explaining future events is, as you've mention, a perfect marriage of gameplay and story. It's memorable because such a mechanic is unique to Alan Wake.

@xgrandchampx8916 5 лет назад

I really really hope for a sequel someday. It had so much story, heart and love in it. The controls were a bit clunky but it more than made up for it. Please make it happen. The light vs the darkness theme, I love it.

@jameslyddall 5 лет назад

MoonSpirit one of those games I totally got sucked into the world and atmosphere. Bought it without seeing any of the hype when it came out and loved how it played how it felt. I played it first time around in a cabin in north wales snowdonia which was very close to the woods you found yourself in. I’ve had a soft spot for Alan wake as much as I have for sonic or metal gear solid. Just something loved about how the forest felt, the swaying trees and ambient music.

@MalpasDan 4 года назад

I’m still hopeful for the sequel, no doubt the recent bump of people playing again thanks to game pass and the 10th anniversary won’t go unnoticed by remedy. I’m sure they know it will be a hit for them, and we’ve waited longer than 10 years for sequels before, it’s still very possible.

i'm only 2 minutes in but it really pisses me off that games like this master piece get forgotten while micro transaction filled games obtain mainstream recognition , based on the way the industry is going, it's a much safer bet to go backwards and enjoy what came before rather then the garbage that's being put out now , and if you haven't noticed by my opinion , thats what im doing

Alan Wake has a great story but not a fan of its action gameplay. When i finished it about 7 years ago, the ending's not very satisfying either. If only it followed Quantic Dream's... now that i've heard a live action adaptation's likely gonna come, i'm gonna just remember this in my memory.

PostMesmeric 5 months late to reply but when you look at the bs we as gamers go through with fallout and how Bethesda handled 76 or battlefield 5 I love remedy entertainment even more. Played quantum break and loved it then replayed Alan wake and I miss his story and wish I had more of that world to explore. It’s one of those few games I have ever wanted to invest my time in buying the soundtrack and the art book. I’m even doing a project 350z with the game in mind. Everything about this game sticks in my head as what a game should make you feel long after you played it. Bravo remedy bravo.

I'm not sure if Alan wake was trying to be scary, but at the same time giving health food tips and how to properly use ranger facilities. Good game otherwise. In moments that were supposed to be scary, an enemy would say random stuff,. I'd laugh at how random some things being said.
