Alan Wake 2?

[WeeHammy]

Hey developers, don't you guys think you should release Alan Wake 2 on Steam... we have been waiting long enough...

I don't mind waiting longer but can you please confirm if it is or is NOT coming to steam seeming you partnered with Epic Games (and got funded by em) to make AW2.

We all know the story, how you have still not "re-couped" your money (well maybe now) from development costs (and advertising) but come on... Steam would make you your money back, heck... it would have probably doubled if not tripled your profits but you alienated us over here.

So, all in all - IS IT coming to steam at all? If not, please let us know.

They won't since EGS helped them financially with the development. Was the same with Alan Wake 1 Remaster. Drop it.

It's pretty wild that they initially had the main character as a white chick, then apparently needed money so badly that they switched her to a black chick for D.E.I. funding.

Like, maybe you shouldn't make your games so expensive that you literally have to change the themes of the game.

How's that art? It's just commercial propaganda. Why shouldn't Remedy tank for this?

Ok, thank you for letting me know that you know the future like it is set in stone.

Also, I ain't going to "drop" anything. I would like to buy Alan Wake 2 on Steam as a consumer, there is no harm in asking the developers if they KNOW or DONT KNOW if it WILL or WILL NOT be coming to steam. I am sure that MANY of us would like to know if it will ever come to this platform or not, so yeah.

I mean, it makes sense if it was not their own choice and they were FORCED to make this change for the funds to make the game. So personally, I don't hold it against them. If it was not funded like that, maybe I would have said something but alas, nothing we can do.

I don't know the future, i know that AW2 will not come to Steam, just like it was with the remaster of AW1

But if you want to wait for the game or a anwser take a seat and goodluck.

Yeah, Ill gladly wait. I got other stuff to play. Hopefully they do bring it to steam. If not, oh well. AW1 might still come to steam, we never know, just give it time. ♥♥♥♥ it took Ubisoft 14 years to add in achievements for some games on steam (revelations and such) and they just released them the other day.

Guess Ill wait 15 years to play Aw1 Remasterd and AW2. No harm done.

OMG that musical scene in Alan Wake 2--that might be the best single set piece in any video game ever!

Yeah. I loved that. I listen to it almost everyday, sadly... ill never get to "see" it or probably experience it for the next couple of years.

It's not that I don't like Epic, I just like all my games in one place, y'know.

I didn't like the musical scenes in Alan chapters. Way too silly. Glad Saga's chapters at least never got that silly.

Anyway, you can buy AW2 on Epic and then add it as to steam as a non-steam game and just launch it from your steam library. As long as you have the Epic app set to auto-sign in the game should startup smoothly.

Btw, the Epic exclusive AW Remaster doesn't technically require the Epic app to launch as you can delete/rename/move the Epic .dll(EOSSDK I think? I don't have it installed rn) from the game's install folder and you can launch it without starting up the Epic app.

Speaking of launching AW. I was very surprised when launching AW2. It literally took almost no time at all for when i clicked on the icon to when I was playing. It was around 7 seconds I would say. No intros, logos, ad, or promos. Didnt even see Epic launcher pop up. Just loaded AW 2, select continue, and bam. You were playing that fast. It was very nice.

Yeah, feels like that's rare these days.

I like the song, the song was really nice. Haven't played AW2 yet so I didn't know it had "musical scenes". I thought this was only for the song and not in the actual game, damn. That sound's really stupid to me.

Anyway, I have thought about grabbing AW2 on Epic but I just don't like not owning it on steam where all my other games are. I have added games to steam via "ADD NON STEAM GAME" but again, I don't really like that idea. Sometimes the games disappear in my library after I have added them, sometimes it says "incorrect file path" and a few other things when I press PLAY so I stopped doing that a while ago and mainly just stuck to steam.

Oh, I also did not know that AW remaster "technically" doesn't require the Epic app to launch. That's cool.

If I ever do pick up AW2 or AW remastered I will probably do this but I ain't sure if I will. Might just bite the bullet and wait on it coming to steam (if it ever does).

Anywho, thank you for letting me know. I already knew I could do this but thanks anyway for the other information my dude! Appreciated!

More than rare. Don't think I have played a "recent" game without getting some sort of AD for something in a store or a launcher. Crazy.

Depending on fast you move through it, it's like a 15-30 min section with a lot of music and sorta music-video-like visuals in the background -- idk how to describe it really. It's a bit silly imo, but some people really like it. Search youtube for 'Alan Wake 2 We Sing gameplay' if you're curious about it.

damn... that's a lot of time for a music segment, if your going fast. Yeah, i'll definitely give it a search online when I got some time, thanks man!
