Secure the bag bro!
When dlc coming out?
Alan Wake - "I'm the dude, playing the dude and pretending to be that dude."
I do appreciate Time Breaker as Sam/Remedy confirming 100% that "Yes, we want to use Quantum Break. But due to copyright IP ownership, we have to change the names"
I swear Sam Lake is just something else. Such a short DLC yet it's packed with content, more questions but also more teasing at what the Remedy Universe is about. My mind is blown, once again.
Why aren’t more people recognizing that the REC is Monarch (not the Foundation) or that Quantum Break is canon in all but name now? The PRS is a handheld Countermeasure. And I’m increasingly convinced Marlin Hatch was an early version of Warlin Door.
Yes and Tim Breaker is a multiversial version of Jack Joyce
Is there any reason the REC can't be both Monarch and the FBC? They can be echoes of each other much like anything else in these stories. Also, of course Door is Hatch, the actor for Door confirmed as much in an interview when he revealed that the role was to originally be played by the late Lance Reddick.
“The Director” literally confirmed that Sam Lake in OUR reality is in fact the ultimate master of many worlds and the writer of the first word (not the last). The Dark Place is called the Dark Place because it’s the darkness of our TV screens when they’re shut off. And when they’re not being played/watched/consumed those realities are nothing, nonexistent. They only exist when we open the thresholds if you will.
Some Black Mirror stuff
Bro just say Jesse, the director is too long
That's crazy and scary at the same time
Yeah its called ripping off twin peaks.. especially the return.
@@El_Negro2003it's not Jesse though it's an alternate reality version of her
Rose went hard in this DLC! Go Rose!!
Rose needed to become a FBC agent because of that fr fr
She’s so fucking funny in it.!
She's kinda hot
Justice for Rose! OTP
Hard not to with 400+ shotgun shells
I'm sticking with the theory I've had since Alan Wake 2 dropped, that Alan Wake and Thomas Zane are the same person and that Thomas Zane is Alan Wake's actual identity where he's gone through some kind of loss and/or life crisis and is trying to recover himself and doesn't fully know who he is anymore not in a literal sense, but figuratively in terms of his purpose and direction in life. Biggest piece of evidence is that a number of people call Alan "Tom" and seemed to know him from before and that when Alan meets Zane in the Dark Place, they have the same exact face. The distinct "person" of Alan Wake represents Zane's desire to "start over" and build a new life following the aforementioned loss and/or career failure, likely stemming from a failure in his music/writing career and possibly the death of his previous lover Barbara Jagger who appears in the first game.
I like the idea that Zane wrote Alan into existence. Keeping the one the about the clicker safe.
@@diegeticfridge9167OR did Alan Wake write Thomas Zane into writing Alan Wake so Alan Wake could get the clicker
In the Tim Breaker eposide of the DLC (the comic part), it's implying that Tom and Alan and Scratch are the same person but just from different demetions. Just like Tim's role in quantum break...
@@bruuuuuuuuhhhhexactly why I love it so much, it's never clear when reality ends and the fiction begins, did Alan make up the clicker on the spot to comfort his wife in the dark like we seen in the flash back and then later used that idea by writing as Thomas Zane so he could give the clicker real power or was Alan created by Zane because Zane couldn't fight it himself so he didn't to create a hero who could and I honestly hope we never find out which I only want more questions
In quantum break you can find a chalk board with a theory on Alan wake 2 on it. Part of it says “Tom is a poet who writes about Alan wake”
“Alan wake is a writer who writes about Tom”
“Who made WHO real?”
The Waitress section could be partly created by her fanfiction being affected by the Dark Place but it's too weird and happy for the Dark Place and Scracth to use to escape.
Took the words right out of my mouth 😂
Agreed - but maybe the point was to have the brother(s) "come to terms" - finding a way to sort of co-exist in the face of all that craziness... Like how the episode ended.
Though, given the deer used the words "as inexplicable as the sunrise" maybe the sense of who Scratch and who the writer were was intended to be flipped. Why else "inexplicable" instead of "as sure as the sun will rise".
The Darkness seeing Waitress' story: 'WHAT THE HE.LL IS THIS?!'
The Darkness: What the fuck?! Get out, man
Too weird and happy for darkness to to be able to use 😂 love tht
the music for the end of each of the episodes was a bop
Already part of the OST… freaking loved that jam
Space invaderrrrrrr
Loved this dlc, the look on my face when I walked into the gun room in roses episode was sum else
I completely forgot about Dylan mentioning door and Alan and casey in control . Good detective work 👍🏻.
He also says “this is all a video game” similar to what happens to max payne
Honestly after seeing the end of North Star I think Dylan was influenced by Alan
SAM LAKE YOU HACK (affectionate)
Affectionate?
@Based_Gigachad_001
There's a guy named bricky on UA-cam who enjoys the alan wake games but he calls him a hack(affectionate) because of his use of references and parallels to other media.
IKR! SAM LAKE YOU HACK! xD
I love that after you play all the episodes of night springs there’s a message that reads in loving memory of James McCaffrey remedy is the G.O.A.T for this 1 like equals a cup of coffee for Alex Casey
Remedy needs to make a Night Springs TV series
There's already one, it's called twilight zone, night spring is based on this series.
It sucks IP issues prevent them from what (I'm guessing) they want to do with Quantum Break and Max Payne.
Those games were originally meant to be apart of the remedy-verse.
In alan wake 2 tim’s boards in the dark place make ALOT of reference to this (the red head woman from quantum is now Jesse and mr door was hatch from quantum break).
There is the max payne remake but the quantum break one confused me because Microsoft have the ip I don’t know why they don’t just let remedy make another they both profit
How is max pain involved with alan wake?
@@dinkoman2081 Alan Wake writes crime thrillers about a hardened cop that has trauma from the death of his spouse. Alex Casey is the name of the books in Alan's reality, but those books become real and take on another name in the multiverse, namely being Max Payne.
True
There are more quantum break references in the DLC that marry up. It's been a while since I've played that game so I'm forgetting some of the names.
It's rumoured that Warlin Door (but pretty much confirmed from datamined art), was originally going to be played by Lance Reddick (RIP). In quantum break he played a character called Martin Hatch (door/hatch), who found a source of power a long time ago, which turned him into a shifter which meant he was everywhere all at once and gave him powers etc.
There’s scraped art that shows Lance Reddick as Door in Alan Wake 2
Jason Schreier on the Triple Click podcast confirmed after the game released (by talking to Sam Lake and Remedy) that Lance Reddick was originally cast as Warlin Door.
Wow ok in my head now confirmed definitely. But theory that door is sagas father doesn’t make a lot of sense?
Just flip the M on Martin , and it spells Wartin,change the T for L and you have Warlin, and of course a door and a hatch are pretty much the same.
If only Remedy could use QB and Max Payne , they would make the craziest share universe ever.
And also its so sad that both Lance Reddick and James McCaffrey passed away :(
Shawn Ashmore is great- I've seen him in so many sci-fi projects! So this Ashmore Lore is rather amusing :D He does travel between universes with great acuity :P
I cannot wait to see how the 2nd dlc ends or what it answers. Time Breaker is by far the most important to the story imo.
Apologies if this was already mentioned, and not sure what it means yet, but...
The almost omnipresent "pink mist" of Rose's episode isn't so much supported or reflected by the lingering blood clouds that result from blowing away the "critics" - the "pink mist" seems to be the point. "Pink Mist" is the term people use to describe the cloud of blood and viscera that results from a gunshot successfully finding its human target. Given the pink mist is EVERYWHERE in her episode, and given the Taken in the episode seem to be THE example that does NOT have the accompanying shadowy overlay associated with the waves of ememies...
Is it possible that Number One Fan was written either for or BY the Dark Presence? Or, more terrifying, since I think Rose mentions at some point that she dabbles in creative endeavors near Cauldren Lake - is her episode one of HER fan fic forays come true?
Again, don't know what it means, but the cheery well lit adventure is also - of the three - the most viscerally/tangibly disturbing of all of them.
It’s definitely the most disturbing given it’s possible Alan wrote this fanfic himself with extreme detail
Also, you are literally looking at the world through a rose coloured lens. Which is an expression for someone who has an optimistic/positive attitude and fails to see the negatives.
The way you break down confusing games into an understandable follow along is a gift my man, keep up the amazing work!
It was nice to get a peek into Rose's delusional mind. To all of those with unlucky love lives - ELBOW PATCHES! XD
21:16 Wasn't the red-headed woman from the TV just also Jesse from the AWE DLC? We played as her watching this conversation between Alan and Tom, so her appearing on the TV is just the other side of that. She's not a different variant.
Ooooooo that's a neat observation I never thought of before. I just kinda considered that it was just something for us, not Jesse actually looking in
Yes its jesse….episode 3 durectly talks about multiverses and different variants. Dlc jesse isnt the same as control jesse. Alan knew of jesse from the AWE dlc from control so he wrote a story to try have her save him.
Episode 3 makes it clear that different versions of the characters are trying to end door/the dark presence due to alan trying to find a way out of the dark place.
I'm sure that's Beth Wilder, you'll come back for me is straight out of Quantum Break.
@@kennethluff4736 The woman who appeared on the TV in Alan Wake 2 can't be Beth Wilder. We know it has to be Jesse Faden because we played as her witnessing Alan and Tom's conversation in the AWE DLC. We've seen the other side of that event. Also, if you have subtitles on in Alan Wake 2, the captions call her "Jesse."
@@TheFinalFanboy I actually never noticed that it said: the sibling for me for most of it was it at the end?
Darling's book. Darling is important. Pretty sure he created Thomas Zane in his insanity. Day 665 of being alone in the Darkplace.
A place the changes based on his thoughts.
I was waiting for this!! Thank you so much Harry for all that you do!!!
Nice Harry! Love the committment to releasing these videos so quickly
Honestly, I don't want Harry to burn out. We can wait because quality over quantity
Im here because i can't play it on steam but still love the alan wake story.
Unfortunately im not downloading a launcher and making a new account just for one game.
Thanks for the video man!!
I don't know if anyone told you yet, but in control, a game I played and beat, Alan Wake is in the same universe as control. In the vault in control Alan Wake's typewriter is considered an altered item
Excellent work Gaming Harry!
Since Warlin Door is taking out different Seans doesn't that mean the Sean in the DLC will have a story mirroring Warlin Doors. If so doesn't that mean Warlin Door is creating his own enemy and Sean will be the reflection of good?
My motorcycle is also a wolf 😅 Also in Time Breaker that's definitely Beth Wilder not Jesse.
That version is Jessbeth. They aren't subtle.
🎤In Nigh Springs
Caught in an endless time loop🎵
Fantastic video! Also remember, after the end of the Final Draft, Alan is now ALSO the Master of "All" Worlds (thus the occurrence at the end of the third episode), an allusion to his mastery of the Dark Place's power. My personal theory is that it might seem Alan is actually that Master who is trying to escape through these episodes, which might be echoes towards real things happening (Control and Quantum Break). Remember, everything also happens in Night Springs, an echo of Bright Falls ("Night Springs when Bright Falls"). Just a bit of rambling, can't wait to finally draw a full picture of this magnificent fictional world!
Great vid 👌 loved both the alan wake games cant wait to complete the two DLCs and eagerly await Control 2
GamingHarry is a mind reader, I was JUST thinking about this game!! Awesome video as per usual
i am waiting for this forever and finally, thank you Harry
These DLCs were NUTS.
21:12 According to the subtitles, the one on the TV is Jesse. Also, in the AWE DLC, Jesse does witness a similar interaction between Zane and Wake (possibly from an earlier point in the spiral) so maybe it's something to do with that.
Interesting point!
Aaaaaaah one of the best videos EVER explaining not only the DLC but the whole lore of what Remady is doing .. good job there .. definitely, I will save for later .. surly for me, one of the best references to go back to it later
With all these alternate realitis, do you think that "John Wick" is also an part of them. John Wick and Alan Wake both lost their woman, Reddick being a possible choice for Mr Door, the Continental, Oceanside Hotel and Oldest House being huge buildings.
Holy fucking shit, this is amazing. It pretty much confirms that Warlin Door is one of the multiversal versions of Martin Hatch from Quantum Break, probably the most powerful one.
Loved it 😁 im your number one fan 😊
I like how you might consider the opposite of a remedy to be a poison pill.

The oldest house could also be the tree that takes root inside breaker if you eat the seed. Which Becomes the world tree. Another instance if you plant it ,it becomes the world tree and you build a giant skyscraper around the world tree which could be the oldest house. Oldest house sits outside of the multiverse.
3:14 if I saw a bunch of guns stored in a diner I would immediately just book it. I would leave the building in panic.
Is this not normal in America?
@@redwiltshire1816 I’m not American I’m Canadian but even so I would be immediately concerned about the person mental state if they had a whole army in Diner.
@@AnvilPictures I mean same especially if the guns are kept in the kitchen
"You preparing for a break-in, or Armageddon?"
@@bandgeekforlife406 Yes.
Its possible to play the dlc while playing the game. I had decided to replay the story and found each episode in Alan's side of the game.
Oh I just got to this part. Tim breaker talking to Alan about aliens lol
Yooo I been waiting on this since this dropped
ok wild theory is door basically "cleaning up" behnd Alan, bbecause as alan writes he creates alterne universes , this could be what else pissed door off
I´m actually so happy that Sam Lake and Remedy still holds Quantum Break's story as part of Alan Wake's canonical events (as well as Control's). I hope they somehow recover the IP from Microsoft because wtf there are a lot more strings to pull from all the characters there (for example that Martin Hatch is just like an early version of Warlin Door).
This game is kust intriguing. Thx for another great explain video.
Personally after playing this DLC I want someone to adore me like Rose Adores Alan Wake 😂
The ripple effect corporation is just Monarch
fantastic. you just got a sub
Just in time for my dreadmill video!
Is so funny to have the time breaker stuff in there seeing as remedy really wanna connect quantum break into the universe 😂
I love how everything connects in the remedyverse. No detail is there for no reason and everything makes sense.
I’m excited to see you break down this confusing dlc to me
This is complete madness and I love it. Thank you for the video, and kudos to Epic Games for giving Remedy full carte blanche in creating AW2.
SAM LAKE, YOU HAAAACK!
At 16:25 - 16:37, Does anyone else feel like Remedy is hinting they would like to get back to Quantum Break at some point?
Ah good ol' SCP type multi layered narrative worlds
Also you have the Black and white triangles in different location in locked crates that you need to translate(North Star)
The entire DLC can be summed up as "SAM LAKE YOU HACK"
There should be a dlc explaining why Saga is different from QB Saga. Maybe she’s an alternative version.
i think a tv show or movie will finish this crazy beautiful story. it might be many years away but i think its worth the wait.
"In charge of the multiverse" is a reach. Just because he is trying to eliminate threats to it, doesnt automatically mean hes in charge
Nor do we know that eliminating threats is his goal?
Another Gaming Harry video already? What did I do to deserve all this luxury entertainment?!
JESSIE! So glad to see her again. One of my favorite games & characters.
That was fast. Wait...his wolf pack? He turns into a wolf and his motorcycle does too. It's not a wolf pack...
And Ahti isn't trapped. He's just willing to play the part written for him. But he could choose if he wished.
It’s a theory, because in the cabin, there’s a book on being an alpha and leading a Wolfpack.
Is this really all taking place before the events of AW2 like you said? The way I personally took it is after Alan learns that it is a spiral and not a loop, he starts writing these stories to gather all of these people together to help him
Door mentions their previous collaboration on Night Springs during their confrontation.
Rose reminds me of Juliet Starling from Lollipop Chainsaw and that's a feeling I was happy to have
Fun times
I mean, Shawn Ashmore was an Animorph after all. He's used to understanding weird sci-fi stuff quickly.
I liked the second and third episode of the dlc more. The first one is kinda silly although i love Rose's character.
I never played quantum break. But I get all the alan wake and control lore tho
i think Alans origin for Mr Door is correct but i don't think hes as evil as depicted, but just trying to clean up the mess Alan is making with all the writing of worlds
It’s not a spiral, it’s many spirals.
Isn’t the coffee likely an allegory for the Hiss from Control?
Rose shows us all that the Delulu is the Solulu
Idea: Prey story explained. (The game Bethesda made in 2017)
Proper question: any chance of an entire series vid on Dishonored? I had meant that in my previous comment. Dunno where I got Gears of War from, lol.
I hope we get a Shawn Ashmore/Tim Breaker game in the near future.
You gotta cover Quantum Break to complete the story so far, enjoy playing it bud :)
This is very reminiscent of "Gideon Falls", anyone read it?
You ever gonna do a play through of outlast 1 and 2 while talking about lore getting all recordings and documents?
The talk between shawn and the red headed woman is reminiscent to the framing narrative of quantim break, where jack joyce is talking in an interview to commander Ogawa of Monarch.
Definitely intentional! It all exists in the multiverse right? (They just don’t own QB anymore lol)
Hey im Not Sure if you missed This but they patched another ending in the Game or more likely the real ending and how the ending scene of alan wake 2 plays out After Alan is Shot with light and Saga Calls Logan
Third part of the Dlc Fried my brain so many hidden chooses during the Written part. You even create the device Alan uses to travel between zones in the darkness. Jesse is breakers wife/love interest in a different universe my god this dlc was Amazing but only thing confused me a bit was Roses part I get it’s not Wake leading and I guess she starts the retirement home at the moment but theirs still plot holes.
Hey Harry, could to delve into the F.E.A.R series I remember watching my cousins play it and it scared the piss out of me when I was younger
Damn you fast
And we still have another dlc coming!
Whoa now the ng+ ending wasn't cannon my man. It was out would make everything moot
Hey I didn’t get a fruit or a pendant….. I got the directors gun to open the door at 17:50
Pataphysics is wild
PHYSICALS for Alan wake 2 are now available at Best Buy!!!!! For pre order I mean. Please support this game the physical of your a console gamer
Yes! I finally plan to buy it. We really need to stop with these digital only games crap. Black myth wukong is going through something similar as it has no physical.
I will buy the collectors edition 👌
it goes without saying, if it doesn't leave fans with more questions, it ain't alan wake
Remedy digs on the multiverse
Quantum Break re-release for PlayStation immediately thank you
