      "Speaking on the Friends Per Second podcast, hosted in part by GameSpot's very own Lucy James, Remedy creative director Sam Lake revealed that Initiation 4, a dazzling chapter midway through the game that features an elaborate live-action musical during a combat sequence, was nearly removed from the game during development, leading Lake and others to argue in favor of keeping it in.
      "It was really, really hard for a number of reasons to have a musical in this," Lake said on the podcast. "And there were many productions meetings [where people said] 'Come on, we need to cut this.' I was like, 'Absolutely not, we are not cutting it.'"

    What... A... Moment...
    I have been gaming since my early childhood, from 100% 00 agent runs of Goldeneye with my Father, then co-op Halo 2 on Christmas morning with my Brothers, playing through God of War 2019 with my non gamer GF & being silly with my Niece on untitled goose game... Moments in life that have made me fall in love with this pastime.
    Without a doubt, "We sing" is another of these moments I'll forever appreciate playing.
    Thank you.

    The Old Gods of Asgard deliver another banger, and Remedy delivers another genre-bending masterpiece.
    Alan Wake 2 was the rare survival horror game which wasn’t afraid to spend time delivering humor, heart, and deep character development in between thrills and scares. It’s probably the best game of its genre I’ve played in years, and I say that in a year which saw excellent remakes of two of the most beloved survival horror games of all time (Dead Space & Resident Evil 4).
    Thank you, Remedy, for giving us a truly once in a lifetime experience.

    The guitarist has no right being THIS GREAT 😂. Like, wtf? He shreds better and far more tastefully than many modern shredders out there. He was obviously influenced by the likes of Steve Vai, Yngwie Malmsteen (that lick at 08:54 is as clean as Yngwie, wtf?), Eddie Van Halen and Paul Gilbert. What a monster. How is he not more famous amongst the guitar community?!?! I can't believe that he flew under everybody's radar... until now. He's technical, has feeling AND, most importantly, is tasteful with his notes. Seriously, the entire "guitar wank" section starting at 08:35 gives me goosebumps. He just goes berserk and unleashes all his influences. Almost as if he gets possessed by other guitarists. It sounds like many players, yet it's just this guy. Goddamn 😂.
    And for all the non-guitarists: yes, what he plays in this entire "We sing" section is as difficult to play as it sounds. You need to practice 8+ hours per day for many years to become this good.
    This guitarist is ridiculous. Dafuq 😂?

    The musical segment of Alan Wake II is probably the single greatest scene in any video game from 2023 and arguably just any video game ever.
    It's an incredible scene in its own right, but I think what makes the scene the MOST special is the fact this literal theatrical rock opera epic is in a fucking SURVIVAL HORROR game and like somehow it doesn't feel out of place???? It takes a certain kind of madman and genius to make that work and I can really think of no one else who could pull it off, but Sam Lake. Like Alan Wake II at times feels like the modern equivalent to Silent Hill 2 and is one of the scariest games I've played with some of the most tense atmosphere I've ever experienced in a game as well, but then there's things like this over-the-top live action song and dance number in it and it somehow just fits perfectly instead of ruining the tone.
    That's just one among MANY reasons why this game is unlike anything else out there in this medium. Such a genre defying, one-of-a-kind experience that honestly everyone should play through it for the artistic merit alone because that's what Alan Wake II IS. A legitimate work of art.
    Thank you Sam Lake, Poets of the Fall (Err I mean Old Gods of Asgard), Matthew Porretta and David Harewood all for creating such an unforgettable moment in gaming history!

The audience gives out the loudest cheer ever. Alan goes on stage and all the lights go on again. The concert starts with the song above, David Harewood and Alan (maybe Sam Lake too) sings together with the band and joins the dancers. The dancers is either the main dancers or the Taken ones, could be both. The performance ends with a loud cheer and a record-breaking long applause.
