I hope you cover the novelization of the first game, it's a very interesting read, and even more so when you realize that the guy who wrote it, it was his first novel
Thank you for analyzing this character as I mentioned some time ago 😊 The gameplay trailer is very interesting BTW. Nightingale being dead... I thought that would be Estevez, but here we are. I'm very excited for AW II!
I love how they sneaked some classic Barry into this. The way he managed to get his photography on the cover of the book was both funny and kinda messed up at the same time. The Alan Wake Files is amazing. I think there's a free PDF download of it. - J
If you read the Alan Wake Files as a pdf on some of the manuscript pages that have obscured text you can highlight the text as if you were going to copy and paste and she what is actually written there. I think specifically there is a page that was supposed to be water damaged
@@GamingUniversityUoG Barry could have sought out Clay and Samantha after the first game's events. He and Alice would be interested in anyone seeing Alan again.
That one will probably wait until after Alan Wake 2 comes out. Just because other than a name and the fact it is based in Watery, we have no real info.
@@GamingUniversityUoG Undertandable. Is the term ‘Cult of the Tree’ ever even mentioned in AW? I’ve never even heard of it before until this new trailer released
@@GamingUniversityUoG now with the waitress being the new Lamp bearer now, didn’t see her in the trailer but hope she’s around. And considering nightingale might be a new possessed conduit of the dark, could be an interesting interaction. That or with that deputy who had a crush on her back at the diner before being killed at the mammoth park.
What is your thoughts about Alan Wake 2 is digital only? I think Remedy is making a mistake (probably is Epic behind this decision) cuz it’s stirring up quite a mess among fans on social media…
I personally want a physical release. At least a limited release. I have a bad taste in my mouth about digital only and potentially losing the game I invested in. Especially after the debacle with Crossfire X and the campaign.
@@GamingUniversityUoG Same here, really want a disc on my shelf... And thanks for pointing out Crossfire. Some fans are defending the digital only but that is a good example how bad it can be...
Nah he is a real person before and after. It is easy to write off everybody as existing because of Alan's influence but so far I only know of one or two people that are manufactured
To be perfectly honest I expected two protagonists since the teaser trailer was announced. My initial thoughts were there would be one party on mother outside looking for him while he was on the inside working his way out. My initial theory, weirdly enough, was Saga Anderson or to a lesser extent, Alice Wake or Sheriff Breaker. Considering Saga was shown in the Return trailer to be looking for Alan it would make sense.
I think people were a bit put off by the trailer because we see basically only her gameplay and almost none of Alan's. They were waiting 13 years for Alan's next adventure, and then someone else looks to be stealing the spotlight at the last second. I think Remedy just wants to keep Alan's gameplay under wraps to avoid spoilers. As long as the stories connect well and Saga doesn't crowd Alan out, I think it could work well.
I think I know what his role is going to be. Frankly I don't think he will be in it for too long. Sadly. I've mentioned my thoughts in his involvement in my theories video on AW2
And oh snaps, great observation. But wouldn't that mean that we know all the prime candidates? 1: Thomas Zane (keeps going back to the dark place. So FBC agents probably haven't ran into him. Declared missing.) 2. Cynthia Weever (mentally unstable) 3. Alan Wake (stuck in the dark place) 4. Dr. Toroki (however you spell his name.) (Caused the creation of two altered items, the Japanese paper lantern and the neko cat. Which are against ASH laws. So just like dr. Hartman, he probably was arrested.) 5. Clay steward (killed in the dark place.) 6. Dylan faden (killed another agent during the shallow tide mission.) 7. Jesse faden And it makes sense why all of them except Jesse was discontinued or failures.

I've read it a few times. Will need to go through it again to see what would be a good way to approach it in a video.
Yo tell me more about it, it's the only game I sucked all info from Wikipedia for
This will be a fun series!
Need to get ready for AW2!
Good job! I totally missed that Clay from the dream is the same one who wrote AWF.
Crazy little detail that makes the intro nightmare make a ton more sense. I always wondered who this random guy was
Already preordered 🍻
Nice!
Looking forward to you keeping me going with remedy vidoes until October, that gameplay trailer was insane, great video as always!
That's my job haha! I'll keep them coming.
Thank you for analyzing this character as I mentioned some time ago 😊

Just having confirmation about Nightingale and getting a look at his legacy is awesome.

I got my copy through the steam version in the game files.
Barry deserves to be in everything I swear
@@GamingUniversityUoG lol, Right? If he's not in AW2 I'm sure he'll be in a future title. There's only so much they can fit into one game I guess.
Some heroes wear capes, but true heroes wear a green letterman that looks maybe a size too large.
I swear if Clay makes an appearance I'll lose my shit
@@GamingUniversityUoG I'll be disappointed if Clay does not make an appearance. He's just too invested in the whole affair.
Sweet!
Do glad to be able to release these finally
If you read the Alan Wake Files as a pdf on some of the manuscript pages that have obscured text you can highlight the text as if you were going to copy and paste and she what is actually written there. I think specifically there is a page that was supposed to be water damaged
Yes!
Been holding on to these ones for a while
"Trying to stay A. WAKE." A wink with a sledgehammer
Super video , and timing
Glad you enjoyed!
Amazing work...missed it entirely
Thank you!
Did you see the ocean view hotel in the trailer ? This game is gonna be wicked
Absolutely! I have some ideas about it. Might do another podcast soon to discuss ideas.
Sam Lake and team are so damned good at world building
Hell yeah they are
It would be cool if he meets Alan in the second game or is the focus of its 2 DLC packs.
I would love to see Clay, Samantha and maybe Jake tie in sometime. Even if only in documents
@@GamingUniversityUoG Barry could have sought out Clay and Samantha after the first game's events. He and Alice would be interested in anyone seeing Alan again.
We need that Cult of the Tree video brotherrrrrr
That one will probably wait until after Alan Wake 2 comes out. Just because other than a name and the fact it is based in Watery, we have no real info.
@@GamingUniversityUoG Undertandable. Is the term ‘Cult of the Tree’ ever even mentioned in AW? I’ve never even heard of it before until this new trailer released
I honestly forgot if they interviewed the lamp lady at all, probably not.
I do not think they did. Cynthia deserves her retirement so she probably is off somewhere.

I always assumed he was one of Alan's fictional characters.
Nah he is a real person before and after. It is easy to write off everybody as existing because of Alan's influence but so far I only know of one or two people that are manufactured
What do you think of the 2 protagonists thing? I personally think the game should focus on Alan as he writes his escape.
To be perfectly honest I expected two protagonists since the teaser trailer was announced. My initial thoughts were there would be one party on mother outside looking for him while he was on the inside working his way out.
My initial theory, weirdly enough, was Saga Anderson or to a lesser extent, Alice Wake or Sheriff Breaker. Considering Saga was shown in the Return trailer to be looking for Alan it would make sense.
At first I didn’t like it but then someone reminded me of the teaser in quantum break. That changed my time and now I’m excited about it.

Do you think Alex Casey Will he have an effective role?🤔
