First I’ve heard of this but it looks like it definitely has some Chrono Trigger DNA and Yasunori effing Mitsuda involved in the music department! I will absolutely have to check this out
That is quite a change from the original story. I’m surprised. I figured it would be more or less the same, but maybe flip the characters around or change inconsequential shit, as most reboots tend to do. It did make Raiden a champion now, instead of an actual God/Protector. So that’s weird.
They did that in the last one. This looks like another reboot that has in universe reasons. Which means the old stuff still happened but due to the time stuff its happening again but different
I believe that they know they have a money printing machine with D4. So, if they make improvements to the core of the game, then they can just keep printing money.
I hope the “flashlight that goes out all the time because the batteries are trash” gameplay got reworked for the better. I like the first game, but really didn’t like the combat.
They needed to limit it somewhat because light is your most powerful weapon. Later in the game you’re even being given multiple ways of generating light.
I feel like if the takeaway was “always waiting for it to recharge”, you’re missing the point of the combat structure.
Still need to finish the Foundation DLC for Control! I really enjoyed the AWE dlc but wish I didn’t know Alan Wake 2 was being released before I played it. By the way what did you think of the Alan Wale dlc? The gameplay mechanics were getting a little tiresome.
I enjoyed Foundation as well, so I would definitely play it.
My timeline for playing is Control (when it released) > Alan Wake Remastered (earlier this year) > Control with all DLCs (after AW). Alan Wake was always on my radar, but when I it finally came to the PS Collection for free I had no excuses left haha
Alan Wake as a whole did not age too well gameplay wise… but the story is just so good and the pacing is also nice. There is always something new going on and it also has the perfect length.
Funny story for the DLCs, they are quite hidden in the Remaster (you hab to manually select them from Main Menu > Chapter Select > Extra Episode 1 and 2)
I really enjoyed them, the gave the much needed context on what’s happened to Alan after the end of the main game.
It’s already out and the reviews on Steam are NOT good, not good at all. The general consensus is that this game is actually a 4 hour long glorified tech demo that’s so unoptimized that you can’t even reach 60 fps on a 4090. Some even hesitate to call it a game. Yeah, I think I’ll stay away from this one.
