I admire people who can play those types games in VR. I don't think I would have the nerve to do it.

Just watching WaB avoid Jeff in HL Alex was tense enough.

Just have Friends play on the TV in the background. Whenever it gets too scary just tune into Chandler's next joke.

I'd love a firstperson option, especially with a texture quality upgrade.
I wonder what the choice next-generation upgrades will be?

I'm not happy but not surprised by the Epic exclusivity for pc. Remedy gets a guaranteed payday that way. They did the same for Control.

I can wait it out. Maybe even end up getting it for free like I did with Control.

No need for a trainer at all, Control has some build in, just look under the Assist Mode. This is the first game ever which I played that has an inbuild god modus, which says a lot about how the difficulty assessment must have failed completely and they didn't even bother to rebalance the game! No wonder this was a huge flop if I remember correctly...

Excellent Wesp5 ! *as always man, undying gratitude for VTMBL *

Anyway, if yet fustrated with any aspect of the game, Fling offers a pletora of choices ( even if I still use C.E. to tweak things not contemplated )

Quinn,
Exactly, when they take that loving care in details, far or not accesible, the world around acquires so much presence and substance, it's moving.

A Plague Tale Innocence and Alan Wake have a thing in common. It's a world / an environment so beautiful and believable that it almost feels like an open world game, but imo even better. There's a beautiful mystery in seeing something interesting in the distance -- like a radio tower or waterfall in case of Alan Wake, or a windmill or old ruins in Plague -- that you can't reach, but is there in almost painting-like fashion. It gives me an almost in love / lovesick feeling of awe in those games.

In an open world game you can just run there, find some random loot and an enemy and there goes the mystique...

I've been stuck on that first boss in Control, lol.
The one that hovers and you have to throw sh!t at him. I'm about to quit the game due to frustration.

A pity if you don't finish the story, the lore is excellent.

I enjoyed Alan Wake when it came out. It has great atmosphere, but the gameplay is repetitive. I'm not sure I would want to play though it again even with a remaster. I also felt the same way about Control, which is set in the same universe.

Yeah, it took me a while to figure that out as well. You have to mainly shoot him, since he mostly dodges your launch attacks. It is kind of silly since it is ability you just recently got, but than it doesn't actually work well against the boss.

Launch works fine against that boss and all the other flying enemies in the game, you just have to do it twice in a row to hit them after they dodge the first time.

Will surely be a treat for new gamers, maybe old too.
Though I wish they would change the DLC, sorely lacking, imho.

I don't see the point.

Ive already played the game on steam over the last couple of years. The game still looks awesome.

i played the absolute shyte out of alan wake and it's dlc. I believe i had an intel q6600 and gtx 580 when it released and with some tinkering i could achieve 60fps@1080p. The flashlight and lighting were next level. Loved the stupid story and vo. I'm all in!

Cool. I barely played the original but thought the visuals were really good for its time. Maybe I'll give this another go when it hits. Curious if original owners get the remaster as a free upgrade, lol. Probably not.
