yes. I played it 17 month's ago . I did a Remedy triathlon. Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control. And all Dlc's for Alan Wake and Control also...... They were all Great
I appreciate the recommendation, I never got to play this (though I wanted too) bk in the day, cuz I'm not a XBOX guy, I can't wait to fire this classic up on my PS5
Day 1 buy. Have to support this game, as it did not sell as it should have. Remastered at $30, and to inspire a sequel is the warranted thing to do. This game has such a special atmosphere. Glad to support this title.
Same here. Will be buying a copy again, although I had bought the first one after seeing a loading tip during my play-through of a cracked version saying "If you like the game, please support the developers by buying the game". Made me feel sad after seeing that it never got a sequel.
@@VagueNaming it's really good. A lot more people probably would have played it but it came out the same day as Red Dead Redemption. Don't know what Microsoft was thinking.
Truly pumped for this and the "Alan Wake 2" project or whatever it will be called. Dualsense is perfect for a game like this. My PS5 is primed and ready to rock on with the Children of the Elder Gods.
If you love twin peaks or basically stephen king novels, you need to get this one. It's the only one in the gaming scene that pays homage to it. The pacific northwest setting is just iconic.
A friend made me play it after I said I didn’t dig it initially. And I’m so glad I did. It’s become one of my favorite games ever. I’ve played it through multiple times now. It has a slowish start but ramps up. The collectibles are allot of fun to find too.
Wow, you're in for a treat. I wish I was playing this for the first time, completed like 50 times on my xbox 360, one of the only reasons I bought an xbox! Still pre-ordered, time to re-run again on my Ps4!!
Alan Wake is the one I’ve always wanted to play but unfortunately being a PlayStation only player it’s the game I’ve never been able to venture in to. I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally get my hands on it so thank you Remedy! Also at £25 it’s an absolute steal 👍
Classic game ,, we really need to go back to great games like this,,let’s move away from the open world stuff now. It’s been done to death. A good tight story with no fluff
I played it to death on the PS4 and then got the PS5 version free on PSplus. It’s a brilliant remaster of an already iconic title in my opinion. The lighting effects are superb and the sparks from the Mod boxes that are dotted about look incredibly realistic……Well worth another play through
Such a great game. Got 100% when it originally came out on 360. Hope my save file doesn't cross over so i can get stuck into it again. Actually regardless if my save crosses over ill be diving into this one again. Such a great game on all fronts.
One of my favorite horror games of all time. Going to pick up day 1 to support the devs and finally get a sequel !!! Very happy to see the Alan wake revival tie in with Control as well. !!
There are errors in the video, remedy has been around for about two decades and also the name of Alan's friend is Barry wheeler not Eric Barry, you guys clearly don't know much about the game.
I managed to buy a sealed copy of the limited edition steelbook with all dlc, notebook and collectors cards and audio cd with the soundtrack for £10 in CEX in Bolton was absolutely blown away with the bargain!!! If you've never played the game.....do it's absolutely brilliant and gripping.
I really hope this means Alan Wake 2 is coming because nr 1 was amazing it literally got me into horror games and honestly there hasn’t been a game like it, it’s very unique and that makes it even better! Just wish I had a PS5 so I could buy it:(
Played it back when it came out on 360. I’m not going to buy it again at launch but I highly recommend anyone who hasn’t played this to do so. It’s a really good game
Uh... I have to wonder if the person who wrote this video just instead tried to Wikipedia the information or something... Eric Barry? His name is Barry Wheeler and he's Alan's book agent. He didn't have the key to the lodge... He wasn't even in Bright Falls until episode 2...
I was in love with the original on 360 as soon as the opening narration began, and since then it even inspired me to write my own novel about the war between light and darkness, with a front cover of a lighthouse as an homage to the game, I even named the book (which is now a series) ‘Fyrtårn” which in Danish translates to Lighthouse. In the first book I also had a chapter called “Nightmare” (calling back to the hardest difficulty of the game) in which I have the main character run around a dark forest, finding pages and fighting off shadow people, again in an homage to Alan Wake. God I love this game and what it brought to gaming in terms of storytelling.
Missed this one on my 360, so bought this for my current PS4. Man!! I have not been hooked up to a game since Resident Evil 4 on PS2. This game has everything that I crave for in horror games.
1. It's good. 2. It's really good. 3. It's very good. 4. It's quite well done. 5. It's amazing. 6. It's fun. 7. It's a good time. 8. You will enjoy it. 9. Your friends will be happy. 10. You will be happy. 11. Your parents will be happy. 12. Your pets will love you more. 13. Your car will run better. 14. You will live longer. 15. You will marry a supermodel. 😊
“eric barry” doesn’t exist also Barry Allen is his agent and does NOT have the key to the lodge that Alan and his wife occupy, Carl Stucky has the key, Barry comes to Bright Falls when Alan doesn’t answer his phone for a week
I've never played this game, but the remaster is free to add to my library this month on Playstation. My work week just ended and I wanted a game to waste this weekend on and I think I've found it 😁
This game is pretty cool but I'm not buying it again lol. But for people who really looking to buy this game for the first time buy it I truly recommended. I love the dark atmosphere story and fun combat.
I got the Remastered version on PS5. I can tell you that it looks graphically up to par with PS4 games and controls like a PS3 game. I wish they'd overhaul the controls and add more options because it really needed this and didn't get it. It's a good experience to play through for a newcomer to Remedy games but for those who played the original, I don't think this will be a necessary buy.
@@cheykesegames Awesome!! I can't wait to get newer people to try it, we must spread this game like... (Due to recent world events. I am unsure which word to place Here. 🤔)
As a fan of the game, I recommend people pick this up if you missed it the first time around. And maybe we will get the sales up enough that we finally get a real sequel that has an actual ending this time around!
Same I love free games!! Microsoft is the only company that really gives back to their loyal customers. They deserve recognition for that. Nintendo’s point system is a joke and Sony’s isn’t even worth talking about.
@@Th33anomaly Yea since March I have accumulated 140000 ms points that's 140 pounds store credit.They should promote it more so more people know about it.
@@Scarface1982G That’s awesome I just redeemed my points for a $100 and a $25 gift card. I like that not only do you earn points from purchases but there are also a bunch of different missions that accrue points for free. It may sound selfish but I think if they were to tell too many people about it they’d start losing a bunch of money and trash the whole “program.” Realistically if someone were diligent with the daily, weekly, and monthly missions, it would take them only a few months to earn enough points for something decent, for absolutely zero cost.
I kind of don't understand why they remastered this one.. I think the original is just fine; controls, interface, everything feels already modern, imo the graphics are still gorgeous ( currently replaying it after 10 years and I totally stop to admire the scenery ).. If they had extra time to remaster, they should have remastered Max Payne..
They don't own max payne. And alan wake is part of their connected universe and people will want to play it first before that sequal comes out which given controls 2nd dlc it will.
There is only one thing you need to know, if you love Twin Peaks and Stephen King, buy this game. It's one of my favorite games, just recently played the 360 version for the i don't know how many times, Guess i have to play it again soon
Are the controls still janky? I played it for the first time early this year and they had aged terribly. No reviews I have watched have compared them. Are they the same or are they improved?
Bummer that they didn’t include American Nightmare. While not as good as the original Alan Wake game and the expansions, I feel this game is necessary to get something of a proper ending.
I pre ordered for series x I never got the chance to play this game but from what I hear it's awesome I legit can't wait to play this remaster and finally play the game 🙌
I never had an issue with the product placement crap in the game. It was originally published by Microsoft for the Xbox 360, so having Xbox game cases is no big deal... hell, the Uncharted games, the last of us games and returnal all have PlayStation consoles featured within the game worlds and nobody cried about that.
Alan Wake Series X day one let's go!!! Actually whichever version looks the best between the Series X and PS5 will be the one I get. If they're identical then it will be the Series X all the way. Allan Wake will always be a Microsoft game too me. If God of War came out on both I would get the PS5 version as that's just weird. Edit* Damnit, no Ray Tracing or HDR10?! What the Hell is the point? I can at least somewhat understand Ray Tracing but no HDR10 support is pure nonsense. The problem isn't that this is a remaster...no, the issue here is the 8th generation. I cannot wait until that anemic, underpowered generation is dead and gone. The PSPRO and One X were fantastic but they were hamstrung by the base models.
Having played this game a few times, I'm just here to reinforce the recommendation that newbies play it.
yes. I played it 17 month's ago . I did a Remedy triathlon. Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control. And all Dlc's for Alan Wake and Control also......

looking forward to playing this. Loved Quantum Break. Apparently this is better?

Totally agree couldnt be more excited for a remaster. one of my favorites on the 360.
Day 1 buy.

Already know all I need to. I pre-ordered this on PS5 the moment it went live. This game is a masterpiece.
I haven’t played it, but I preordered it as soon as I could because of how much I’ve heard about it
@@VagueNaming it's really good. A lot more people probably would have played it but it came out the same day as Red Dead Redemption. Don't know what Microsoft was thinking.

I have the original disc still been playing it on my Xbox series X
Some haven't a clue how much they will get ripped into this game. Then want more. The story man
If you love twin peaks or basically stephen king novels, you need to get this one. It's the only one in the gaming scene that pays homage to it. The pacific northwest setting is just iconic.
Reason I am getting it.
I'm so happy I can finally play this on a Playstation console!
remedy has been putting out quality games for about TWO decades now with max payne being released in 2001.
Alan wake is an underrated masterpiece
Never got to play this game back when it came out, just remember hearing about it. So I’m genuinely excited for this 🤷🏻♀️

How long did this take to beat?? I’ve never played or seen walkthroughs but the game looks interesting
Can't wait to play this great game again. It'll be fun to try to get all the achievements again since it's a separate list

Classic game ,, we really need to go back to great games like this,,let’s move away from the open world stuff now.
It’s been done to death.
A good tight story with no fluff
Not to mention the unique gameplay
Except Red Dead Redemption 2. That was open world and rocked, but I do like a good linear game with great story and atmosphere.
Lol and they announced Alan wake 2 recently and they talked about it being somewhat open world
Currently playing Control, so I look forward getting this game.
Damn great game
I fucking love Control… I played it like 6 times and now I’m in my 7th. Cicle 😅
I played it to death on the PS4 and then got the PS5 version free on PSplus. It’s a brilliant remaster of an already iconic title in my opinion. The lighting effects are superb and the sparks from the Mod boxes that are dotted about look incredibly realistic……Well worth another play through
Truly one of the greatest games ever made!!!
2 decades bro. In my top ten favorite games of all time. I built a new pc for it years ago.
Such a great game. Got 100% when it originally came out on 360. Hope my save file doesn't cross over so i can get stuck into it again. Actually regardless if my save crosses over ill be diving into this one again. Such a great game on all fronts.

Just started getting flashbacks of Adam Sessler ranting about how Alan Wake is the Alan Wake of video games, ha ha
One of my all time favorites. This game will always have a special place in my heart
I couldn't get into this game when I played it...thinking about giving it another try. Love the horror game genre!
This and the Advanced Wars 1/2 remasters made me smile. It's nice to see these games get more love

Thank you
A true fan
Some reviewers are saying there's nothing new here but never having owned any Xbox consoles it's 100% new to me. I can't wait for my copy to show up.
U telling me PS5 or Series X will not have a 4K/30 mode.
Pass on this
The fans have better upgrades
I loved it! After work for a week I would disappear into this world and loved every min!
Never played Alan Wake but loved Control and very happily pre-ordered this 😃
Great game! I’m still trying to finish this on my Xbox 360 though.
After playing Control, I’m definitely down to try this
Control was fantastic as well.
Loved playing this game as a kid. Challenging and mysterious!

It’s a shame they didn’t put in the effort to include ‘Alan Wake’s American Nightmare’ DLC, I remember enjoying that much more than the base-game.
I’ve never played this game before so I’m pretty excited
Awesome insight into the game 😁 thanks 👍
Already preordered it. Build up the hype for a sequel.
I wish it had American nightmare
Great video thanks😄
Not having American Nightmare included is crap. It has one of the best villains in all of gaming. 'Cause really I'm a Psycho...'
Never played this. That dlc in Control is now making more sense. Excited to get this for PS5 😀
