However, Remedy should resist implementing more live-action than necessary. The aforementioned examples of live-action segments from Alan Wake would make sense for reprisals in the sequel. RELATED: Remedy Entertainment Outlines Five Upcoming Games If not Night Springs, then another episodic show that is more centered around horror could be portrayed. Further, Alan Wake’s whimsical Night Springs could return to the same capacity as in the original game, but with new episodes that reflect on cosmic choices and concepts introduced in the sequel.
In Alan Wake 2, the same instances could occur where the author’s appearances as a celebrity figure could be represented in live-action, whether he appears as a talk show interviewee, a guest on a podcast, or any other relevant media. The same idea is echoed in the film Sinister, where the protagonist watches himself on a taped airing of his appearance on a talk show and is disgusted by his own smug and untruthful expressions. This talk show segment is in live-action on the character’s television, and perfectly adheres to the game’s premise with an author protagonist since it is not out of the ordinary for celebrity authors to make guest appearances on talk shows. In Alan Wake, players can watch a television set in the character’s apartment airing an episode of a reality-television talk show, where Wake appears as a guest interviewee. Live-action content only works effectively if it is able to marry itself saliently and cohesively with in-game content, where one complements the other and there is not a considerable dissonance between the two.
COULD HAVE MADE ALAN WAKE 2 SERIES
Indeed, Alan Wake features some of Remedy’s most effective uses of live-action segments through talk show appearances that the author attends and through episodes of Night Springs, a cosmic, episodic series imitating The Twilight Zone that players could watch on intermittent television sets throughout the game.

Regardless, there are multiple ways Remedy could employ live-action in Alan Wake 2. If it does, it will be interesting to see what capacity they are implemented in, and if the sequel benefits from having them or not. But one interesting point to note is whether Alan Wake 2 will feature Remedy’s compulsive obligation to include live-action performances. So far, no other details about gameplay are known besides the fact that the eponymous protagonist will again wield a flashlight and a revolver, as revealed in a behind-the-scenes glimpse at Ilkka Villi in motion-capture performance. Concept art for Alan Wake 2 was also debuted that emphasizes its survival-horror tone and atmosphere. In the time since its announcement, Remedy celebrated Alan Wake’s anniversary last month, where it revealed that Alan Wake Remastered will be available on Nintendo Switch. P>Little is known about what Alan Wake 2 may entail now that the IP is transitioning from an action-adventure game to a survival-horror game, but that is perhaps one of the most intriguing parts about it.
