Alan Wake 2 will have more scenes with living actors
Yesterday, the creative director of Remedy Sam Lake went to the New York Festival Tribeca to talk about Alan Wake 2. Immediately after the release of the new trailer at Summer Games Fest, Lake shared even more information and personnel about the continuation of the 2010 game.
Lake explained that Alan Wake 2 will move from horror-beo -evik to Horror to survive. He said that in the first game Remedy had to balance the action and horror. He described the horror for survival as “Genre with a slower pace“That gives advantages.
“This would give us opportunities for a story that was not in the previous game. Alan Wake 2 will have a slightly more strategic resource management element “.
Lake also dwelled in detail on the addition of the new protagonist of the saga Anderson. This choice was made to help new players, as the first Alan Wake was released 13 years ago.
“It will not be a sequel where we will give you homework“, Lake explained, referring to the original game, its DLC and DLC in Control. “We needed a new point of view of the character“. Thus, with the FBI agent arriving to investigate the case, the new players will have the opportunity to plunge into history.
The saga also brings more game additions. The dark essence will respond to it differently than to Alan. Lake confirmed that in the game there will be a separation between the two main characters about 50/50. “There are key places in the game world where you can switch between characters“, – explained Lake.
The saga explores the north-west of the Pacific Ocean, and Alan Wake was still stuck in a dark place. So how does he plan to get out?
“He is almost obsessively trying to write an ideal story that would allow him to escape,” Lake answered, confirming the teaser closer to the end of the trailer.
The dark place will manifest itself as “dark New York”. Lake also confirmed that in this game “quite a few scenes with living actors“As for the segments shot with living actors in Remedy Games.
To the delight of fans, Lake demonstrated the installation of some of these segments. Although the personnel have not yet seen the light outside the Tribeca, they showed how Alan apparently joined the current show; cult figures in masks from a trailer; And, in the longest segment, humorous advertising of the diner OH Deer Diner.
In fact, Lake decided to add these segments after the success of those in which Matthew Porrett, playing Alan Wash, showed a great performance in Control. According to Lake, they also scooped up “A lot of inspiration in stylized art house horror“, Especially in the use of lighting.
