Sam Lake is just one of the best game writers of this generation. I think it's insulting to call him the European Kojima, not because he's better or worse by any means, it's just like that there is no one like Kojima as much as there is no one like Sam Lake.

Lads, we're one step closer to see Dr Darling, Jesse Faden and Alan Wake in the same room

Ilkka seems to be an incredibly gentle person.

Ilka acknowledging the Jake Gyllenhaal and Keanu Reeves comparisons completely caught me by surprise 😄. Also would be really cool if Jake Gyllenhaal played Alan in a live-action TV series.

Ilkka looking at everybody like he's in love with them 🥺

Heh, it's weird to see the OG face of Max Payne speaking with a totally different voice! :D It's great to see the devs behind the games. Remedy is a treasure of Finland!

I’m a really big fan of Alan Wake. I’ve been so inspired by the experience that next year I’m moving to Finland to study game development. 😅 I will work very hard so I can hopefully be a part of Alan Wake 3 or 4. Well, at least that’s my dream…

Is it just me, but does Sam Lake look like he is a super realistic cgi rather than real person

Their Finnish flavorings present since their start in the 1990s is a big part of what makes their games special.

I was originally really disappointed when they showed that it would be 2 characters and two separate narratives and now I'm so happy they did that. 1. Saga's story is extremely fun to play through. I'm actually enjoying her side almost more than Alan's. And 2. 16:30 the dev mentions how it was important to get both worlds in the game, and that hadn't even crossed my mind. If we got AW2 13 years later and the whole game took place in the dark place with Alan trying to escape and we never got to see Bright Falls in this new engine it would be a huge disappointment.

Sam Lake and Remedy games must be protected at all cost!!

man sam lake face is so iconic

for me if i had a chance i want to shake hands with every single one of the team behind alan wake 2 and thank them and congratulate them for making such an amazing and wholesome game massive massive respect for the cast they really put there heart on this one bravo i loved every minute of this i hope to play alan wake 3 soon im 28 now and i played alan wake 1 when i was around 16 year i wish they dont take 10 years i want it soon

The music and the sound effect in this game is one of the best, the music will give you hint that something is coming and the sound effect will let you scared while you play as Saga or Alan.... as young filmmaker i think this is one of my best games as horror mystery game

one thing i specifically love about AW2 is how in most of the game you can CHOOSE to switch between Saga and Alan’s POVs when you want to! in most games with multiple POVs or main characters (especially cinematic games) there is no way to choose how you want to pace out each character’s arch, or what sections you want to play at different times, and that can make you feel railroaded or maybe even bored if you’re just not in the mood for that specific vibe. while i love both the mind-bending spirals of the dark place and Saga’s methodical searching and discovery through Bright Falls, they are two very different types of gameplay with distinct pacing and mood. either would get tiring if we had to play one in its entirety before playing the other, or could be frustrating if remedy had decided when we had to be in either perspective and we personally didn’t like how they spaced the sections out. being able to choose elevated this game a lot for me. i found myself in AW2 switching quite frequently because i loved both stories so much and would be wondering about how the developments on Saga’s side effected Alan’s side and vice versa. or in playing through one side I’d have time to ruminate on some of the stuff from the other side, and then come to a conclusion or theory about the side i wasn’t playing that I wouldn’t have thought of if I didn’t get the time to step outside of it for a while. it’s all very fucking cool and extremely well done.

Remedy.. you are artists. They are what the industry should be today. Thank you for this work of art as is Alan Wake II and for the other games

For those playing, before you leave the movie theatre in game, make sure you watch the film that plays. It's 15 minute movie that you can easily miss

Game is nothing short of amazing. 👏 🤩

Maybe the best game of the last 13 years. I am sooo shoked how good it is, Alan wake 2 is a masterpiece of it's own. Please, ... .. .. dear devs, make Alan Wake 3 :) :)

I really enjoyed this game overall. Got spooked several times and that paranoia they mention definitely got to me as well. Such a twisting story and I really enjoyed it. Tickled my brain in just the right way. The only thing I could've used more of was time with Wake. I enjoyed what we had, but after 13 years, of course I'm going to want more of him. :) Thanks for all the behind the scenes! Lovely seeing so much cast and crew together talking about this.

I'm as impressed with this game as I was with the first bioshock when it first released. Massive respect to the team.

Sam is so charismatic. No wonder actors keep working with Remedy

This is very early on the video but the line "it's a story you're not told, it's a story you play" resonated so much to me after finishing the game and remembering all my journeys with the multiple Remedy games. I feel like this is low key been my constant thing with their games even if sometimes the games don't feel the most bombastic over the top famous games of all time like GTA or something. There's an intimate quality to playing and experiencing it that's truly meaningful over time to me.

It still feels unreal that the game exsist. That it is amazing. The graphics, story, characters, atmosphere, game mechanics, sound design. The story expamded amd impoved. The characters too. The world is beautiful. I fell in love with Alan wake. Loved everything I named about Alan wake 2 in Alan Wake 1 aswell. It was so orginal and unique. Had a great story, characters and atmosphere. Love the setting of Bright Falls. The game mechnics were fun. It had good horror elements and it told a great story. Also about halfway through they cranked up the intensity and amount of taken trying to ambush you. It was a unique experience. I pretty much gave up on a sequel. After playing it and beatng it on normal. Then on hard 2x collected all the stashes, nursery rhymes, amd lunchboxes and now I'm just past the 1st overlap on NG+ I am not disappointed. I love the game. It went in a different direction than I expected. The story and the characters but not in a bad way. The swap to survival/horror was the right move. The boss fights are all fun and different from one another. Saga amd her game mechanics are fun and smart ideas. Alan Wakes Mechanics and world is also very cool. The story wouldn't have worked without a second protagonist.. i didn't know how I felt about it at first but with the story they are telling it was the best choice. The seamless transition from game to live action is a great idea and it is orginal. There is plenty of horror. Intense moments. Weird moments. Confusion and mystery. It still feels unreal that after 11 years (played Alan Wake for the first time in 2012) and pretty much giving up on this game that it finally happened and it lived up to the hype. For me at least

Playing the game is surreal, nostalgic, entertaining and entertaining. No other sequel has offered the same payoff. In remedy we trust.

I liked the game so much. Would gladly read a book like that. Great job, I just discovered Sam Lake and I think he is a brilliant writer. I also saw some negative comments, well I think the details, the graphics, the story and the characters of the game easily cover all the imperfections. The Rock-Musical alone is legit my favourite of all the time. Thank you team Remedy, Sam Lake and Ilkka Villi for letting us see this masterpiece.

The game is a masterpiece I’m glad that this is the Alan Wake 2 we got

woooooow wait a fuckin minute. That's not the actors voice? I thought the actor was just the voice actor... holy fuck, how did they ADR that so well in game.

What a game! More of this! Thanks Remedy and the actors! Thanks to the Old Gods of Asgard!

Насколько же круто стать частью такой большой вовлеченной команды! Пожалуй, каждый мечтал бы о такой работе

Those years made Alan Wake 2 better in many ways. I think Remedy and Sam had to learn some lessons, Control and then Alan Wake 2 shows studio at their best. Remedy is just special, nobody can make Remedy like game. They're doing the thing that is so uniquely their own and exciting to get your hands on.

14:56 awww. Ilkka looks so cozy in his blanket.

What I love is of course Sam Lake , the original Max Payne, play as Alex Casey here r

Alan Wake 2 was great, one of the games that will be remembered for years, I love horror games

Im honestly more excited about Control 2 now.

I'd like to see Max Payne be confirmed as part of the CONTROL and AW universe. I'd say he's his own Object of Power or taps into AWEs somehow which is why he can slow down time, even though he's not conscious of what he's doing. =]

Hopefully that won't take too long to make Alan Wake 3

Amazing!!

I was worried about Saga’s story taking away from Wake’s but it actually works. He wrote her in to help save him.

True masterpiece

It’s my dream to play a control 2 with these graphics and this much love poured in to it

Игра прям огонь 🔥, как все грамотно составлено. Браво создателям

How is Sam Lake 53 but looks 33.

I’am deeply in love with the Creativity and Remedy´s artworks

when I heard there would be 2 protagonists in alan wake 2 I was a little worried but I should have known better. Remedy created a fantastic protagonist with Saga Anderson. she was great.

I like this game a lot

Alan Wake has to be in my top 10 games... pretty sure. I've never actually written a list. But its probably on it.

Sam Lake is the man!

I finished this game a couple weeks ago and I can't wait to get back into it when the DLC comes out. It's just SO GOOD!!!

Game of the year for me

I enjoyed the live action scenes

Nice ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We love Sam

I think I remember you showing the cancelled orginal alan Wake 2

Ilkas english pronounciation is really good for a scandinavian. Impressive.

I feel Sam Lake is on his way to becoming the next Hideo Kojima

The more i think about it. I think this was the most technically sound game ive played this year. To play with full path tracing and frame gen was a treat. I kinda wish they did more action parts like the concert portion. But i still enjoyed the game. Just dont ask me what the fuck the game is about because i still dont know

I just wish you could of driven the police car around town .but great game the graphics omg thank you for giving us next gen .least you listened to the players 🎉❤

melanie is so adorable

Easily my goty for 2023

Max Payne looking fresh. To be honest since Max Payne 1 I did not pay attention to Max Payne or what else Sam Lake did. Seems like I got some catching up to do. He helped shape my teenage years.

Sam its fine it took 13 years, Twin Peaks the Return took 25!

Illka sounds like alan too, or is it scratch?

What an amazing fucking game.

So if there is a flashlight and a thermos on the table do I dare to think that switch lite represents the clicker? :]

Alan wake 2 will go down in history as one of the best games ever made

@Gronkh - für nächsten Sonntagsstream

Master piece ! Sam, why not a game on Indian mythology?

this game can win easily

Max pain revamp please .and we know it will be next gen x

Did Sam say a moose-tery? Also Saga is such a fantastic character, Melanie did so well!

Best Game in the 🌍

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏

8:32 Wake/Zane

Why did they show it like the story was over, arent they still in the dark place? Also theres still much more to do, about alan, alice, dr darling, tor and odin

20:45 did Sam Lake say Moose-tery? I see what you did there

el chiste de keanu reeevs se hizo canon de golpe

Returned Alan Wake - Returned Twin Peaks...hmmmmm :)

They ruined everything for me by the fact that this game is only digital version , and it's not available where I live , so I'll have to wait until they decide to change that fact 😢

0:28 Dwight Fairfield

13:50 none of them, it was Bradley Cooper!

Where making of

jake is more talented than Keanu

They're a perfect match with PlayStation Studios... I wish...

Im Just sad that i cant Play the Game because they used too many Jumpscares and my heart dont endure them

How about release MaxPayne

Saga actress is great but you could really tell her American accent was fake. Especially when she would say “Anderson”.

repetitive gameplay with boring puzzles! 7/10

I would have paid 85+ for a physical copy. I will not support at all a digital only release. Remedy doesn’t care about its true fans

Saga's campaign 10/10 Alan´s campaign zzzzz

This game was a chore to get through. I didn’t care about anyone and it wasn’t visual enough in any original way to pull me through. The writing was eye rollingly shit. The first game was much better because at least it embraced itself as a video game. And the mystery was fun. Video games compared to proper films are really embarrassing. And yet people seem to love this game? It’s very confusing. It was genuinely crap.

Sick of walking about boring .it's a sucks game and why o why does he have to have his face in game you get the feeling your Max pain .let down of a so called game very boring stage walk game 😢

walking simulator and trash performance

Tbh the Finnish stuff in the game make me feel proud 😅 amazing people 🫶🏻

Just wish the game more about Alan than it was about Saga
