Remedy’s Sam Lake On The Possibility Of An ‘Alan Wake 2’
Remedy wants us to know that while they are totally into the idea of an Alan Wake 2 — which may be made possible through crowd funding — they’re currently focused on their next project, the next-gen action game Quantum Break. If it happens, it won’t be for a while, but the future still looks appropriately bright for the franchise.
In a recent interview with Polygon, Sam Lake, Remedy’s creative director and lead writer, discussed the sequel we all would like to see. More after the break.
“We love Wake and we are constantly looking for opportunities and talking about possibilities of what we could do with Wake,” Lake told Polygon. “I would definitely love to do more Wake, but it needs to be something we absolutely feel is the right thing for Wake and that the bar is high enough.”
“This is really going to be cool, not just doing it at the cost of making something that’s not as top notch as it should be, so time will tell.”
They clearly care about the series and would like to continue it. The original has a definite following, but despite strong reviews, the series hasn’t been successful enough to guarantee a sequel. I hope Remedy is able to find a way to make this happen, because as a fan of Alan Wake, I would love to see more of it.
In related news, I’m playing the original game on our YouTube channel, if you want to check that out.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
