Today at theSummer Game FestMax PayneSam Lake from Remedy came on stage to talk a bit about the studio’s second most famous sonAlan Wake (2). After 13 years the sort of Twin Peaksy, sort of Stephen Kingy action adventure game is getting a much-requested sequel this October 17th, although this time it’s a survival horror, and Alan is sharing screen time equally with an FBI agent co-protagonist. Lake told us a little bit more about said agent Saga Anderson, leading into a first glimpse of “raw gameplay” (as opposed to cooked?) that showed her in action. I have to say, my first impression is that Saga is a terrible FBI agent who is going to ruin the chain of evidence if this ever goes to court because this woman will not put on gloves to handle a goddamn thing.

Although Alan Wake is one of those games that everyone expects you to know about, Lake was quick to say that Alan Wake II is going to be a sequel, but a standalone experience. “We’re not expecting everybody to do homework,” he said, and pointed to Saga as the route in for new players - because she doesn’t know any of the lore either.
And, much like every other normal idiot walking in off the street, she also doesn’t know to, I dunno, snap on a pair of gloves pick up a bloodstained peice of paper you find when you’re investigating a crime scene. Come on Saga. Get your shit together. You’ve got a novelist trapped in a hell dimension to save, and you’ve only got until October 17th to find even one evidence bag.
