We saw a chunk of AlanWake2 gameplay at Summer Game Fest, and it's looking quite a bit like Resident Evil.
This story is part of the Digital Trends Summer Gaming Marathon series Since its release in 2010, Alan Wake has been synonymous with Twin Peaks. Remedy Interactive and director Sam Lake have never been shy about how David Lynch’s classic TV show shaped the horror game. Alan Wake wears that inspiration on its sleeve, with its midwestern setting and eccentric cast of characters that feel like they could be regulars at the Double R Diner.
Recommended Videos If you’re expecting the same oddball, camp-horror vibe that made Alan Wake a cult hit, you might be surprised by what Alan Wake 2 has in store. From what I’ve seen so far, the sequel seems to be more True Detective than Twin Peaks, looking at the weird world of Bright Falls through the lens of a dramatic procedural this time. And it does that while modernizing the original’s horror formula, making it feel more in line with Capcom’s current wave of Resident Evil remakes.
It’s hard to get a full sense of the game from the slow-paced snippet I saw. My demo began with Saga slowly walking through the woods, picking up loose clues and soaking in the atmosphere. It’s not the same campy, off-kilter tone I came to love in the first game; rather, the sequence plays out like a straighter detective procedural with the duo trying to piece together clues about a supernatural killer on the loose.
During a Q&A after the demo, I asked the development team on hand about the original game’s link to Twin Peaks and whether or not that carried over to the sequel. They confirmed that the show was still a major influence on the game, but noted that the story draws from more influences this time. When a team member cited True Detective as an inspiration, the Saga gameplay instantly made more sense.
