Microsoft is Considering an ‘Alan Wake’ Remaster
Microsoft wants to know if we’d like an Alan Wake remaster. As the unofficial ambassador to the horror gaming community, I’m going to go ahead and answer that question with a resounding yes. Yes, Microsoft, we would like that. We’d like that very much.
And since you brought it up, we’d also like an Alan Wake 2.
In a brief survey sent out last week, Microsoft also mentioned an Alan Wake Remastered as a pre-order bonus for Remedy’s Xbox One exclusive game Quantum Break, otherwise known as the reason why Remedy isn’t currently working on another Alan Wake.
Like most folks, the first time I fell in love with Remedy’s fantastic supernatural thriller was on the Xbox 360. I returned to the game a few days later, this time on a high-end gaming PC, only to fall in love with it all over again.
The game looks incredible on PC, and it’d almost definitely look better on the Xbox One. If you’ve only seen the Xbox 360 version, this is something worth getting excited over. Just make sure you direct your excitement toward Microsoft, so they know this is something they need to do.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
