Below is an excerpt from the game's official blog. Perhaps we'll learn more about this additional character soon.Īccording to Remedy, Alan Wake 2 will launch exclusively on digital platforms. Of course, Alan is still playable, as the trailer also highlights his own gameplay moments. Remedy has said the sequel shifts the series into full-on survival-horror, and it sure looks like it.Ĭuriously, it looks as though the game features a second playable character, an apparent FBI agent who can be seen as the star of some gameplay snippets in the trailer.
In it, we see some of Bright Falls' would-be charming vistas and flashes of ritualistic murder all accompanied by the classic Wake narration, pulling players into its unnerving world. After all, it's been 13 years since the original game launched. The trailer introduces the story in such a way that seems to serve both returning players and new fans. #PlayStationShowcase /en9WwVRAgM - GameSpot May 24, 2023 As it stands the only way to buy and play Alan Wake 2 will be to, in effect, purchase a very expensive license to rent the game long-term, on platforms that need to be supported with an online infrastructure, and which can revoke that license (or have it revoked) at any time.The new cinematic gameplay trailer for Alan Wake 2 will make your skin crawl. However, nearly two years after its release. This decision cuts that option out entirely. After the games release in 2010, Remedy said that bringing the game to the PC was not on the cards at the moment. Say what you will about the marginal economics of modern AAA video games retail, but there’s still-at time of publishing, anyway-a functional resale market where people are able to take a disc they’ve bought, sell it to someone else and use that money to either buy a new game for less or, I dunno, just buy something else.
That sucks! I mean, not for the reasons listed-I, too, hate getting a disc only to have to download the game anyway-but for what it means in terms of what players are able to own and, more importantly, trade in at a later date. There are currently no plans to release Alan Wake 2 on disc. Is there a disc-based version of Alan Wake 2 in the works? Secondly, not releasing a disc helps keep the price of the game at $59.99 / €59.99 and the PC version at $49.99 / €49.99.įinally, we did not want to ship a disc product and have it require a download for the game - we do not think this would make for a great experience either. Release: 2012 Developer: Remedy Entertainment OS: XP, Vista, 7, 8 Processor: Intel (2 Ghz) or AMD (2.8 Ghz) Graphics: 512 MB Memory: 2 GB Storage: 8 GB. It is not uncommon to release modern games as digital-only. You can buy a Sony PlayStation 5 without a disc drive and Microsoft’s Xbox Series S is a digital only console. For one, a large number of have shifted to digital only. Why is Alan Wake 2 a digital-only release?
