That’s a lot of ways to go about saying Alan Wake is a narrative masterpiece, but obviously in a remaster we care a bit more about how it plays and looks. These add about two to three hours to the base game which is generally anywhere from ten to fifteen hours, and I’m assuming without running around trying to find all one hundred collectible coffee thermoses. What is awesome is this edition does include both additional DLC chapters, The Signal and The Writer. Nothing in the story is touched in this remaster, and it shouldn’t be, because it was perfect to begin with. Some of my favorite moments in video game storytelling are present in Alan Wake, and Sam Lake and Remedy should be proud of the legacy they’ve created. The story seems to follow after the strange themes you find in Twin Peaks, and even if it isn’t directly inspired, it certainly feels like it. Things just continue to get weirder and weirder for Alan, with more twists and turns than Lombard Street in San Francisco. After running in and finding she has fallen down into the lake, and upon jumping in you wake up suddenly behind the wheel of your wrecked vehicle. In the midst of running outside in the dark because you know your nyctophobic partner won’t chase you down (kind of a shameful move if you ask me), you hear her screaming for help. As you find out afterwards at the island cabin at Cauldron Lake, she’s actually booked an appointment with a doctor to try and get you back to your novel-composing ways, and that’s just not cool according to Alan. To help, your wife Alice has suggested going on a trip to the small, nondescript town of Bright Falls, hoping that getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life might give you some inspiration. You of course play as the titular Alan Wake, a famous writer who is fighting through some serious writer’s block (don’t I know that feeling). So, I’ll go into a bit of detail, but if you want a full breakdown of Alan Wake, go and check out our Editor-In-Chief Ron Burke’s review from yesteryear. Thankfully Alan Wake Remastered leans in the direction of the Bioshock Collection, and the return to Bright Falls feels fresh, even if its age shows a little bit. But not all remasters are created equal, and for every Bioshock Collection there is a Devil May Cry HD. Of course, we’ve probably got a ways to go to get there, so an Alan Wake remaster is exactly what I need to tide me over. I screeched in excitement when that website listing all but confirmed the existence of this remaster, but also the connotation that Alan Wake 2 is probably happening.
