It's not. There are many creative people but Remedy's main phenomen is that they are the only studio on the planet who makes expensive AA+ games according to their own rules. They earned a small but loyal audience.
This man needs to be protected, we love you Sam and we see how much you're into your work and creations. You're an inspiration for every creative soul on this planet
@@schwartzy65I agree and have high hopes for that. Especially considering he acted a lot more in AWII and also has been doing other little small acting things on the side since Wake released
Such an amazing surprise, I just bought the digital deluxe edition since it was on sale on PS5. Hope I'll have time to play it later today, haven't been able to stop thinking of this game since it released last year.
definitely one of the more impressive games in a long time, should have had goty. playing the first game right before for the first time made it even better, quite a journey
The sound direction, the color grading, the atmosphere, the story, the game direction are all phenomenal! Oh and the soundtracks... why all of them sound so good?? Like seriously every song fits in so well and is rlly catchy ❤
Sam Lake and Remedy are just the best there is. Hope the physical edition does well, this game deserves way more recognition, it's my favourite of all time.
@@ButMadNNW626 I'm not so happy being called "rigid" for wanting to actually own a game physically, therefore being able to lend it to friends or even sell it after some time if I want or need to. That's why we have physical media after all. Also I don't like internet dependency. But you know what's actual rigidity? That I still would have bought it on steam, because I despise the epic store. That I stand up for :P
@@ROR5CH4CH well just prepare that sooner or later physical media will be gone. I actually like physical myself, but when it's going that way might as well start being ok with it. that's me though. but yeah there's something special about physical. I remember before my local gamestop shut down, picking up a game on release day was such a blast. then get a good return by selling it back to the store
@@ROR5CH4CH This makes no sense to me. You don’t own anything when you own the physical edition. Most of them require Internet downloads/updates, because the files contained on disc are incomplete or even obsolete when you get it (if you even get a disc). The PS2/CD/DVD-rom era was over a long time ago, and pretending you «couldn’t» buy the game before they released a hollow shell containing nothing but a cash-grab doesn’t justify that in my view. If you want to support game devs, then buy the product they’re offering when they need the support during those crucial first months, not after the project has or hasn’t succeeded.
It’s wild, idk if anyone has this phenomenon, but I always look at Sam and expect James voice 😢 Sam is such a talented man and so was James, rest in peace. Side note this game looks awesome, makes me more happy to be a gamer after all this junk that’s been out the past while. Sam is truly a genius
@@TheDestroyerX I get that, but he was also in Control. The thing I'm excited for is that she looks like she won't have her abilities, and she might be using a flashlight like the main game. Also Tim Breaker is gonna be awesome to play as and Rose.
And Tim Breaker already talked about Quantum Break and his quote here ''and I'll come back for you my love'' is a reference to quantum break as well. His character Jack Joyce in Quantum Break said ''i'll come back for you'' to Beth Wilder. And Beth Wilder is played by Courtney Hope (the same actress who plays Jesse Faden in Control)
this is such BS to all of us who bought the game on digital when they told us it would be "digital only" and now they will release a hard copy. they should give us a free copy
It had some problems, but compared to other games released that year it was rather good. Pretty much every game nowdays has DLC's, new game plus, remasters and so on... It's not remedy's fault...
@@shuishisbisnisnkonsojdnomd8753 too bad it was so close to goty if not for bg3, which probably would have given it more exposure and sales that a game like this needs
Single player will always be forgotten after a few weeks but saying that Alan Wake 2 doesn't have any content is wild just say you don't have an attention span longer than 5 minutes
No Content? I played for like 25 hours till I had seen everything. That's pretty neat for a single player game that's so well crafted. Max Payne 2 was like 4 hours and i still remember every minute.
One of the only creative minds left in this industry
Tim Schafer & Hideo Kojima
His passion shines through and the gaming industry is better because of it.
@@corbanlyon2140 that’s why I said “one of” not the only.

Sam Lake is a hero ❤
Shoutout To Sam Lake And The Remedy Team For Always Making Great “ Out The Ordinary “ Games
Just like how Jesse was out of Ordinary.
Wow, I can’t believe they just dropped it like that! Remedy are the ones to emulate in modern gaming. I love them.
"Sam Lake, you Hack!"
I'm joking, but if anyone get's that reference, I'm proud of you.
(Affectionate)
Eh, those reviews were mid at best
SAM HACK YOU OCEAN
SAM OCEAN, YOU LAKE
SAM HACK YOU LAKE
*IT'S PAYNE!!! GET HIM!!!* 🔥🔥🔥
The max payne remaster really need to have sam as the character model...
@@schwartzy65I agree and have high hopes for that. Especially considering he acted a lot more in AWII and also has been doing other little small acting things on the side since Wake released
What other projects ?@@supernomed1
I don't give an F what anyone tells me because Alan Wake 2 was a dope game. I'm definitely going to be playing this expansion 👊🏿

Let's go physical baby!!
I knew this would happen that's why I waited. The customer has more power than we think, if we don't buy then what can they do? 💿
*SAM LAKE YOU HAAAAACK!!* (Affectionate)
It’s not an ocean…
It’s a SAM Lake!!!
once more the ocean's a lake
Same Lake. think about it. =)
He is our champion of light
He’s also our Herald of Darkness
Sam Lake and Remedy are just the best there is. Hope the physical edition does well, this game deserves way more recognition, it's my favourite of all time.
same here! best game i've played my whole life
@@tsalikaki totally agree, it's one of my favourite pieces of media ever, or even one of my favourite things ever.
I haven’t played the game yet, but I will definitely get the physical this fall and play it.
@@scarletlibra99 Can't recommend it enough!
My girl Jesse is back. So hyped.
Dudes a legend.
dudes a SBI puppet.
@@caxshenkeep crying
@@caxshencope brother, cope... keep coping
How can you not love this guy? Best announcement of the show
Dropping tomorrow is insane, so pumped
“It’s Payne, Whack him!”
Physical edition. Great. Now everyone can calm down.
I've loved Remedy since the first Alan Wake, and they continue to impress.
PHYSICAL COPY LETSSS GOOO !!!
Where shall we goooooo?
One of my favorite devs in the industry. Really pushing the boundaries of experimental narratives.
You can tell that this team has an absolute blast making their games. Easily the most creative studio in the industry.
Remedy i have to say are one of the best and unique studios....love sam lake always so passionate about the games !!!
Lake and Kojima are some of the few bastions of creativity in this industry
MAN!!!THANK YOU AND YOU TEAM FOR ALL
Best moment of the show
Alan Wake 1 and 2 was an incredible gaming experience. The DLC was no different.
You can see how much he loves his work, and you can feel it while playing
I love this man.
Unironically the highslight for me
Sam Lake is precious
I love this man so much, the best of the best
Finally I can buy this game and support the devs! Thanks for releasing a physical edition
Same
Nothing was stopping you buying it sooner except your own rigidity. Enjoy the game, it’s great.

Saw him twice this week at work and he is so nice 😊. Sam Lake rocks 🎉 #tribecafilmfest
Sam is love, after all these years he still has the biggest passion for games and his work.
Thank you for the physical release! Been asking and asking for months. Preordered this morning. 🙌🏻
I finished Alan Wake 2 , 15 min ago...best timing ever!!
That crowd doesn't deserve Sam Lake.
I hope they’re still working on control 2. The world building they did for that game was perfect and I love how they connected it to Alan Wake.
Yep, it’s confirmed to be the next game theyre working on
I love him.
SHOW ME THE CHAMPION OF LIIIIIIGHT 🔦🔦🔦
I'll show you the herald of darkneeeeees
🌃
I deeply respect this man more than any other game creative. AND YOU SHOULD TOO!
This DLC was top notch! Really enjoyed it!
He is such a legend
I'm glad we are finally getting a physical release, hope that the remake of Max Payne 1 and 2 get a physical as well
That audience is dead inside.
You guys deserve us to get that collectors edition!
I want this man to notice me tbh.
LET’S GOOOO
what a legend this man
That's not Sam Lake :/ That's Sam Ocean...
Amazing News!
That was pretty cool
It’s wild, idk if anyone has this phenomenon, but I always look at Sam and expect James voice 😢 Sam is such a talented man and so was James, rest in peace.
Side note this game looks awesome, makes me more happy to be a gamer after all this junk that’s been out the past while. Sam is truly a genius
Great drop 👌 top tier.
My father
Сэм крутой :)
Amazing love Sam
But when coming to steam so I can complete my game collection?
Never
Epic funded the game why would it come to steam?
Does anybody know what time today it's coming out?
It's already out according to remedy's social media
Finally Its coming to physical copy! make sure on Xbox Series X!
Amazing human.
The only good moment in this terrible event, ty remedy
So is this the 1st DLC for AWII
Yes it is
Alan Wakes American Nightmare was literally this though? I don't see this advancing the story like the original DLCs sadly
It looks like the next expansion will. The Lakehouse one coming out in October.
It does tho? Jesses getting brought in, we’re finding out what happens to Tim. Plus there’s another DLC coming so maybe be patient
I’m so glad I waited wasn’t paying for no digital full price physical take my money take my money
Control crossover
Jesse Faden
It's not a crossover, they been in the same universe since Alan Wake 1.
@@RapidPrince9 yeah they shared the same universe, but she is now in Alan Wake II
@@TheDestroyerX
I get that, but he was also in Control.
The thing I'm excited for is that she looks like she won't have her abilities, and she might be using a flashlight like the main game. Also Tim Breaker is gonna be awesome to play as and Rose.

@@madproduction109 speaking of Breaker what happened to Sarah Breaker ?
I played the DLC. It's a teaser if nothing else. Exciting for the future, but a bit anemic. A VERY creative asset flip, haha.
Pending on how many years a player has invested in the series, I think mileage may vary.
❤
Just dance.
Hopefully they make some money. I would buy Control 2.
Considering they’re working on it I’m sure they have money
im happy for you guys but you'll get my money only when its on steam
sam lake you hack
sam: uhh i try so hard not to annonce the collaboration with SBI.
Yawn. 😪
this is such BS to all of us who bought the game on digital when they told us it would be "digital only" and now they will release a hard copy. they should give us a free copy
"Please buy our game again"
So shameless. Alan wake 2 was such a colossal failure.
It had some problems, but compared to other games released that year it was rather good. Pretty much every game nowdays has DLC's, new game plus, remasters and so on... It's not remedy's fault...
Alan wake 2 is a masterpiece it didn’t sell well but the game itself was amazing
@@shuishisbisnisnkonsojdnomd8753 too bad it was so close to goty if not for bg3, which probably would have given it more exposure and sales that a game like this needs
@@Dezzyyx yes but it still got 3 awards so at least it got something
It wasn’t a failure bud. Go back to Fortnite
I didn't like the game. It was just linear and all show and no content. It was not a terrible game, but it was forgotten after a month or two.
Single player will always be forgotten after a few weeks but saying that Alan Wake 2 doesn't have any content is wild just say you don't have an attention span longer than 5 minutes
No Content? I played for like 25 hours till I had seen everything. That's pretty neat for a single player game that's so well crafted. Max Payne 2 was like 4 hours and i still remember every minute.
The manuscript pages alone have content for hours of speculation
Cope harder buddy
Different strokes for different folks. Was this your first survival horror? You a new gamer that likes all their games to be open world?
