When a flashlight is much more important than a large-caliber machine gun, you would have to understand that you are dealing with an unique action game. This is what might be perceived by gamers who had tasted the project of Remedy Entertainment in the past - Alan Wake. Atmospheric survival horror condensed combined with the power of an amazing story for this project are hard to forget. Not surprisingly, many gamers are dreaming of a sequel series, which unfortunately, never showed until today. But that does not mean, Remedy was never interested in trying to make a sequel.
Why are you still not able to play Alan Wake 2 until today? This question seems to be submitted to the appropriate Microsoft as publisher, and instead of Remedy as a developer. Why? Because based on the latest interview with Sam Lake - Remedy creative director at gaming sites - Polygon, Remedy is already developing Alan Wake 2 since 2010 ago. They even had to build a prototype on it, exposing it to the world for the first time, the form of this game. Remedy ambition is to inject a lot of new things in it, especially from the concept of fiction to the real world as the main theme.
Unfortunately, when this prototype showed for the first time to Microsoft, they were not interested. They prefer to build a franchise with different sensations, which eventually gave birth to the latest action game from Remedy - Quantum Break. Through gameplay video above, you can even see some game sessions Quantum Break obvious inspiration from the basic mechanics of this Alan Wake 2.
Does this mean we will never again see Alan Wake 2 in the future? Or Microsoft will open up chances to emerge back into the game industry after Quantum Break finished? Let's wait...
