  • Alan Wake is a renowned fiction writer suffering from severe writer's block who is unexpectedly thrown into a supernatural situation while trying to locate his missing wife. With that elevator pitch in mind, it's unsurprising that Alan Wake has gained a bit of a cult following since its release over a decade ago. It also laid the groundwork for Remedy Entertainment's connected universe, which now includes 2019's Control.
    With Alan Wake 2 due in 2023, let's revisit this beloved thriller. Here's the story of Alan Wake so far.

    The thing I remember most about Alan Wake, when it was released on PC, was how it was used as a tech demo for the new Intel processors of the time. The tornadoes and other physics effects were calculated on the CPU, and back then, this took a lot more cycles compared to now. Thus, faster CPUs did it better and also allowed for better multitasking for other functions. I can't wait for the sequel even if it's two years away. The fact it connects to Control is even better. It would be wild if Max Payne, and other Remedy games like Quantum Break, are all in the same shared universe, too.

    The Alan Wake DLC in Control was such a nice surprise. The sequel seemed imminent at that point.

    You forgot to mention that a event started happening again at bright falls with the dlc ending of control which leads to the follow up towards alan wake 2

    I was so happy to finally play this in 2021 on PS5. It feels like Alan Wake is really a semi-autobiography of Remedy's Sam Lake.

    If you haven’t played ‘Alan Wake’ and you are watching this video, stop watching RIGHT NOW and just go play this game; it is a masterpiece!

      Idk about spooky, but Alan Wake 1 had some scream out loud jump scares. It got me and my wife several times playing through in the dark😂

    Is Quantum Break also part of the Remedy connected universe? Alan was referenced multiple times in Quantum Break but the IP isnt owned by Remedy so...

      Yes it is, there all connected. There are various references to Control in Quantum Break.

    This seems way too confusing. Lol. Can anyone actually understand Alan Wake 2 story ?

  • @Truskulls
    @Truskulls Рік тому

    The page that Zane wrote about Alan's childhood DID happen. Dude if you're gonna make a "story so far" video, get your facts straight. The lake makes things happen in reality, and can even influence the past. And Rose isn't possessed by Nightingale, she's been touched by the darkness. -_- you didn't actually play the games, did you.

    Mehh I played it on ps5, I didn't find the story very interesting and it really wasn't very scary for a survival horror.
    Control was awesome though.

      Alan Wake is not a survival horror game, it's a thriller.
      Alan Wake 2 will be the one that is a survival horror experience.

    This really got a sequel? Wow, not sure anyone that likes this game has ever read a book... kinda amazing that the games about a writer and the story is just the blandest joke of an "idea" ive heard in a while.
