SoberChef Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 @Keyser_Sozesent me here because he must think Alan Wake 2 shouldn't be shared EVERYWHERE!

Brick Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 The game is about an author right? Should have been called Alan Wake Chapter 2 then. Missed opportunity. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on where they took Alan Wake in the AWE DLC, I really think they'll tie all this together as well. At the very least, I think The Bureau and some of the objects of power will make an appearance. I actually really hope Remedy goes all in on this, I really liked the way they hinted at this interconnected lore in Control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Kinda of a dumb trailer but I really look forward to this. Loved me some Alan Wake back in the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always been curious as to the canonicity of American Nightmare, them choosing to ignore remastering it but choosing to remaster the two DLC expansions to the original Alan Wake is an interesting choice. Definitely excited for this given the cliffhanger the Alan Wake DLC's ended on. I really enjoyed Control and the AWE DLC was very tantalizing, so bring on Alan Wake 2.

Man I keep forgetting I beat Control and have the AWE dlc ready to play, gotta get on that. Maybe that would be a good quickie between Ghostwire and Valhalla. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actually two story DLC's for Control, Foundation and AWE, I'd play both if you haven't, they definitely add to the story. Since we're getting both an Alan Wake II and later a Control II I'd recommend it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the perfect place for shitty ports to never fix! FF7 stutters a bit but it's 60 otherwise. Looks amazing on my OLED. Haven't tried Kingdom Hearts. @stepee Xbob's thinking is it's an epic exclusive so by virtue of them in this case paying for development and probably offering terms to help mitigate the sales diaster this will be on the PC. I'm preaching to the choir but after the bit I have played of FF7R it's a damn shame it is an epic exclusive. Epic exclusivity is basically a death sentence for game. I am gonna break on Evil Dead. Combo of cross play, finding a GMG deal, and wanting to support the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 I might've given in to Evil Dead until I saw it was a multiplayer game. Thought it was gonna be this big story-driven comedy horror but it just kind of seemed like Dead by Daylight or L4D or something and all my interest drained immediately.

stepee Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Ah ok I got it, I don’t care what anyone does like that I just couldn’t put together the logic but i c now. FF7R was a stuttering mess at launch in DX12 but it ran fantastic 120fps 4k (or did I set it to 1800p to hit 120? I forget but either way) in DX11, only problem there was it broke hdr so then you needed to use Special K to inject hdr which is all a bit cumbersome. Fantastic experience once all set up though. I hear now the stuttering is fixed in DX12 for nvidia with a driver release that came out after I beat it. If that’s the case then it’s probably solid now unless amd didn’t get a fix also. To be fair it’s performance has nothing to do with Epic but is part of the larger shader compilation problems on pc at this moment, also seen and to a worse degree on Steam games like Elden Ring.

My problem isn't just that the games perform poorly, it's that there's no recourse for players to even communicate to the devs that it runs poorly, no way to warn other buyers on the actual platform. On Steam if a game runs like shit, you will 100% know it runs like shit just by visiting the store page, which to me is a huge consumer win. That kind of public negative backlash provides immense and immediate incentive to get shit fixed. That doesn't mean it will get fixed, but it's a lot better than Epic giving consumers no info and the store page just being an unchallenged advertisement. Even Amazon and to some degree console stores have user ratings. I think they're incredibly important and acting like they're some bad thing because of "review bombs" (i.e. pissing off consumers enough to "review bomb" your product) like a lot of companies such as Epic do is fucking shitty.

Forced open mics have made me hear some shit, man. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
