I see people complaining about dual protagonists... It was literally stated in the ending of CONTROL, that that game and characters were entirely written by Wake himself, as a means to get an FBI agent out there to set him free... I wouldn't doubt that we see the main charachter from CONTROL show up, for like an epic action setpiece like the firework rock concert from the 1st one...
The people complaining about this minimal things probably dont know the game story or didnt even like the original, they just want to put the game down. Since the first game it has been stated that Alan cant just write that he is out of the dark place, he needs to make someone from the outside interact with him. And this isnt the first time that Remedy has made dual protagonist i bealive that those same people never played Max Payne 2.
@@ValArk96 I've been an (admittedly) diehard fan of Remendy since day 1... Actually before, when they used to do 3DMARK graphics demos... I'm probably looking forward to the Max Payne 1-2 remakes more than anything else... I really hope Mona Sax pops up in Alan Wake 2... Also, with this game stating that there are 2 Alan's, I'm guessing that you might actually be playing as Mr. Scratch at 1st in the suit (probably got his mind messed up from the ending of American Nightmare) which would explain him not recognizing previous charachters he's written... And it does show Alan in his flannel shirt from American Nightmare at points in the newest trailer... Can't friggin wait...
@@Beavernator There won't be anyone from Max Payne universe showing up in Alan Wake 2, as it's not part of the RCU (Remedy Connecterd Universe), as Remedy does not own the rights to Max Payne (or Quantum Break for that matter).

@@Beavernator I guess it might be possible if they've come up with some agreement. As they are already doing collaboration with Rockstar with the Max Payne remakes.
I hate horror games, but something about this compels me to play. Control was such an excellent game, and if it will tie into the story for Control 2, then I will play it. I'll probably hate myself for it, but I'll still give it a shot.
I have an original Alan Wake 1 physical version on my Xbox 360 but still haven't played it yet, should I have to playit before october 27 when Alan Wake 2 coming? As a finnish from Finland, im super hyped and excited for Alan Wake 2 what is easily one of BIGGEST and most expensive games Finland's Remedy have been ever made. It's sad there's no a physical version because it's only a digital but the game looks amazing, world of dark New York looks beautiful and gameplay seems really nice. 🌍🌎🏞🌃🌉🎡🏚🌲🐦⬛🔫👮🏾♀️🔦📖🧔🏻♀️
Not a fan of digital only but a fan of remedy. I got a $100 gift card 20% off at Walmart and do the MS rewards so that’s my reasoning bc I’m not missing out on Alan Wake 2
If you are an offline gamer in the year 2023, you are already shit out of luck, as most of the games released nowadays are almost completely unplayable without at least the day 1 patch (and in many cases some 5 to 10 patches on the top of that, if not more).
Can you even play current day games offline? Pretty sure disk today aren't able to store all the games assets, shaders and models, much less its engine.
@@chriswihulu Yeah, in some cases there is only a download key for the digital version. But I guess most of the games might still have some full (day 0) version on the disc.
@@Str0b0 well, consider something like the original Baldur's Gate came with 5 disk's just to install roughly 2.5 GB of data. While the current blue Ray disks can hold much more data, it would still require several disks to be installed. Even so, you can't even use any modern day Graphics card, since their drivers are all online now, so I don't see it being feasible, unless you're a tech Wiz and can configure your PC from the ground up.
@@chriswihulu Yeah, PS5 supports BDXL Blu-ray discs, that can hold up to 100GB. But some games are up to 200GB nowadays. So yeah, they would require two disks.
If physical copies would set them back for weeks then what stops them from making physical copies after release? It sounds like a stupid reason to justify cutting costs...
It seems more interesting in this game than on those ones (imo), with both Alan and Saga having their own, but somewhat similar story mechanics (the mind place and the writer's room).
@@onehitsword6800 I guess it depends on the game. I wouldn't want every game to use that "gimmick". But it's definitely welcome for certain games if the concept is well thought through and well executed.
Alan wake didn't do good when it was first released, when remedy told them about a sequel they were hesitant and opted for a new IP instead (quantum break) which ironically didn't do good either, but both games are masterpieces IMO, the older they get the more they are appreciated.
@@yogisiethink they just wanted to sling sh*t at Microsoft because of the ABK Deal, I have been seeing comments like this, in videos that had little to nothing to do with MS.

Woke how? Not a fan of the woke stuff in games but I don't see this added protagonist as a shoe-horn necessarily. In terms of the story, the inclusion of the FBI agent makes sense, and I don't care if she's a black female of she is acting like a regular person. The real problem with woke is when the game dialogue/story is cleary pushing it's sayings/themes, ie "the message". I have yet to hear of any of that in the game, but we will see.

the best combat out of the three are Control for me and a really good game
I can't wait to play this game next week ❤

Can't wait to play Alan Wick 2
I am so hyped for this!
Bout to play the original ❤
You'll love it.
It can be janky and more than a little unfair on higher difficulty, but you can make it through with a little bit of determination.
Great comparison! Excited for the sequel!
Waited on this game forever.
He almost looks like keanu reeves
Been waiting to long can't wait to play

Do it!
Great game my only complaint is how slow he runs and dodges it’s pretty bad
Okay, I wil play it
@@Leopez02you was going to play it anyway wasn’t you?😂😂😂
Alan Wake 2 might be the biggest and the most expensive commercial product to ever come out from Finland.

Not the only one here that notice this video error
Happens a few times in the video I noticed
If you like walking a lot and not too much shooting then this game is for you
Alan Wake saw Jon Wick
Alan wick
That's a damn good pun.
Don't forget his Double; John Wake!

Why did they try and turn him into John Wick ?
lol was thinking the same thing
Because he's strung out and been in the dark place for like 15 years... Or it could be Mr. Scratch again, pretending to be Wake...
I mean, if you look at the actor, he is kinda a mix between Keanu and Jake Gyllenhaal.
Welp, I'm not gonna unsee that...
@@cregerbot8217 I'd say Keanu and Bradley Cooper

Will the switching characters be as good as GTA 5 or Spider man 2
We’ll just have to wait. I hope so!

@@Str0b0 Would be great for games that already have two characters. Some of them already switch but it's not controlled by the Gamer.
Alan Wake 1 and American Nightmare were so much better. Ive never been so disappointed in a sequel
Wow. Microsoft turned down Alan wake 2 and bg3😅
They didn’t turn down BG3, genius. Are you really that…..simple?

WHERE IS BARRY?!
I’m hoping it’ll be explained in the game

i'd bet a good chunk that woman was a virtue signal@@dragons_red
Alan Woke
Ah yes, the black is political and the woman is political crowd.
The biggest difference is that Alan Wake 2 is only available via digital trash, and I sincerely hope it fails because of that.
Seriously?

I bet you’re fun at parties
