    Sam Lake’s face at the end is everything.
    He’s having so much fun, having such a good time with the people he worked with on this amazing game, and now they just get to dance and celebrate.
    Remedy deserve that, everyone who worked on the game and helped bring it to life deserve that.
    Sam Lake deserves every bit of that joy

      Imagine starting off in a small-time programming office, putting your face to the storyboards of a game that could be hit or miss, and watching it all explode and become legendary from there. Creative freedom and a fanbase that respects and enjoys that freedom is every game programmer's dream. That POTF (epic group) has grown because of the start they got from him and they work so closely to this day..... How could he NOT smile and enjoy it?

The first hours were kinda difficult because I was so lost; nothing was making much sense, but after you start gaining control (pun intended), it is marvelous, the best combat in any game that I have experienced. Also, the story is so weird and mysterious that you want to keep going to understand more. Now I'm looking forward for the expansions!

      It actually did relatively well and they've wanted to do a sequel for years. The problem is that they partnered with Microsoft to get the first game made and in doing so Microsoft owned Alan Wake. They tried to pitch a sequel for it to Microsoft and that lead to the creation of Quantum Break. When they separated from Microsoft, they no longer had access to Alan Wake and while they wanted to make a sequel (which is what lead to Control) they weren't allowed.
      They were finally able to buy the rights to Alan Wake in 2019 and started developing Alan Wake 2 soon after.
      There are actually recent interviews with Ilkka Villia where he said that ever since the first game he'd be contacted regularly by Sam asking if he wanted to do another Alan Wake game lol He'd always say yes and it seemed to always fall through.

I've been a fan of their music since high school in the early 2010's, but unfortunately could never get my hands on any of their CDs because they're not sold in the US (not unless you want to pay a hefty import fee, anyway).

      I couldn't agree more. Their games have always had a very special place in my heart (Both because they are so unique in their identities AND because Remedy's studio is literally a bus ride away from my apartment lmao), so I've always been really sad when their games have underperformed financially. I really hope Alan Wake 2 made all the money it could, because not only is it a BRILLIANT game, it really shows what Remedy is capable of, when they are given proper funding and time for a project. Control was such an awesome game, but even that game suffered from budget and time-constraints (It was in development hell for years).
      I really wish I bump into Sam Lake someday so I can thank him and his team at Remedy for their work on these absolute gems of games. There truly aren't any games like them out there.

      @@gamerlordthebest I'm not at all sure about the claim that "most people tend to buy physical copies" - digital downloads have been by far the main mode of game distribution for the last ten years. For PC games, I can't remember the last physical, boxed game I bought (and even then, the last one I bought didn't even actually include the game installation on the disk - it was just a redirect to steam for download). I'm not a console gamer, but even on console, most people still download their games rather than buying physical copies (and like the PC games that don't actually contain the game installation on disk, even the console games on physical disk often just end up leading to digital downloads, not off-line physical installations). So I don't think not having a physical option is going to hurt AW2 much, if at all.

    я как фанат студии и оригинальной игры, просто не могу описать словами как я рад за Сэма и за команду создавшей эту игру, столько трудов и упорства, и видеть как они танцуют этот мюзикл и видеть их счастливые лица под такую крутую музыку, это что то с чем то, РЕБЯТА ВЫ ЗАСЛУЖИЛИ ТАКИХ АПЛОДИСМЕНТОВ

    The highlight of the night for me. No doubts.
    This is what this show should always be about. A celebration of games, of art, of creative passion and the success of projects like these coming to life.
    Congrats to Poets of the Fall, to the entire Remedy team, to Matt and Ilkka, to Sam and everyone who made this game and this performance possible. 🙌♥️

      aw2 had a few incredible standout songs - namely this and Dark Ocean Summoning, but i'd definitely say bg3 was more consistently incredible and iconic with their score in a more traditional sense.

      Hi-Fi Rush is basically a rhythm fighting game, so it needed good music (which it has, OSTs this year have been amazing) ​@@FlynnFromTaiga

    • @TheGovernorsJester
      @TheGovernorsJester Рік тому

      I would love this, but unfortunately with them being an independent band, they have said they don't perform much here in the states because the travel money comes out of their own pockets (and not from a record label). This includes their instruments, equipment, merch and other things. So if they travel to a far away place like the states, they have to be sure they will draw in an audience enough to pay the bills for their travels. Hopefully this performance exposed them to more people in the USA, and this makes more folks aware of them, for this to become a reality.

  • @etherealsamael3211
    @etherealsamael3211 Рік тому +19

    absolute best part to me.. has to be that when everyone joins in for the final dance portion, you can hear David and Matthew singing along. Knowing their history in stage productions, they probably memorized the song to help keep the motions in time, but still.
    I love Harewood, not just for his Mental Health advocacy, and I can not wait until the next time we see Mr. Door.

    I’d never even heard of Poets of the Fall until I played Alan Wake on Backward compatibility (not even when it was released) but when I heard War I was sold. Then I found out the Old Gods of Asgard were the same band. I do have a good ear for music and styles so I recognised the voice and Guitar from Poet and the Muse and Childten of the Elder God being the same as War. So then delved deeper and found this amazing band. Now I’m a big fan but I’m constantly disappointed how they aren’t more recognised because they have some brilliant songs in their repertoire like Lift, Carnival of Rust, No end, No beginning, The Game and possibly the best “not a Bond song but should be” My Dark Disquiet (also featured in Control). And they continue to put out albums and great songs. This made me really happy. Hopefully the Poets get the global recognition they deserve now. I also hope they do this for the BAFTA game awards. 😀
