has finally taken shape over the past few months, after several years on the "Hey, whatever happened to that game?" train. Fortunately, Remedy appears to finally be on track to deliver the hotly anticipated title sometime next year, and yet Remedy isn't stopping there with the Alan Wake goodness.
The game's lead writer Sam Lake told Edge Online that from the beginning, Remedy has been "structuring a larger story than just the first game so we already have plans in place for how the story will go on."
The game features an episodic story structure, so I'd expect some kind of expansion on that format for the future installments as well. Oooh! I smell spin-off!
Here's my pitch: "Demon and Stephen," a sitcom-styled game staring one of the hellish creatures Alan Wake encounters in the first game and a recently divorced magazine editor who has moved to Bright Falls to take over as the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper. Remedy, I'll be expecting your call any day now to get started on the script.
Do you think well see Alan Wake 2 before the next console generation?

I'm still not sold on this game, hope it does turn out good but so far I can't say I'm impressed. As far as the episodic story structure goes, all i have to say is Alone in the dark had that too and we all know how that game turned out.

Too little,Too late

This first game comes out next year, which makes it's development time, what, 5 years? Despite that, I think we'll see a sequel on this gen systems if the first one sells good enough.
cryfordawn
Would be nice if they could get 1 of them out as this was one of the first games scheduled for 360 and looks like it wont be out until natal is out.. LOL what a joke

I don't know. I'm slowly but surely losing interest in this game. I'm still going to get it though. I'm just a fan of anything horror/survival/wtfwazthat.
premythous
you people suck alan wake looks awesome
dantastic4
Does anybody here think they sould perhaps wait till the first one is a proven success before spending money on a series of sequels? Just a tought.

How bout you get the first game actually out before you start talking sequel!!
vanapes

I originally preordered the game the first time it was supposed to be released WAAY back in the day. :) I wouldn't put it past them to make many sequels to it. They've got plenty of time to think on all those possibilities from the extra time they gained.
Pwnproof
Wait!, they wanna make more. but that will take decades! this one wont be out for like two more seasons and they are already looking to the year 2568 for second one?!?!?!?!?!?????
