Remedy Entertainment's ambition: to become the European Naughty Dog. Inspired by Naughty Dog's cinematic masterpieces like the Uncharted series, Remedy's director Kyle Rowley, in a Behind The Voice podcast interview, revealed their aspiration to be "the European counterpart" of the iconic studio. This influence is clearly visible in the cinematic presentation of Alan Wake 2, lauded for its stunning visuals and gripping narrative. The game's success firmly establishes Remedy as a leading European game developer.
Remedy's sights are set beyond the horror genre. Naughty Dog's mastery of single-player cinematic experiences, particularly with Uncharted and The Last of Us (a PlayStation cornerstone and one of history's most decorated franchises), serves as a benchmark.
Alan Wake 2, even over a year post-launch, continues to receive updates enhancing gameplay across all platforms. A significant addition is the "Balanced" graphics option for PS5 Pro, cleverly merging the strengths of its Performance and Quality modes. These updates also refine graphic settings for smoother framerates and clearer visuals, alongside addressing minor bugs, particularly within the Lake House expansion.
