Remedy Entertainment's ambition: To become Europe's answer to Naughty Dog. Inspired by the cinematic storytelling and high production values of Naughty Dog's Uncharted series, Remedy Entertainment, as expressed by Alan Wake 2 director Kyle Rowley on the Behind The Voice podcast, aims to reach a similar level of excellence in the European gaming landscape.
This aspiration is clearly reflected in Alan Wake 2's cinematic presentation, lauded for its stunning visuals and gripping narrative. The game's success has cemented Remedy's status as a leading European studio. Their ambitions extend beyond the horror genre, mirroring Naughty Dog's mastery of single-player, narrative-driven experiences, exemplified by the critically acclaimed Uncharted and The Last of Us franchises.
Even over a year post-launch, Alan Wake 2 continues to receive updates. A recent update focuses on significant enhancements, particularly for the PS5 Pro. A new "Balanced" graphics mode has been introduced, effectively merging the strengths of the PS5 Pro Performance and Quality modes. This, alongside minor adjustments to graphical settings, results in a more stable framerate and visually cleaner image. The update also addresses minor bugs impacting gameplay, especially within the Lake House expansion.
