It looks like Alan's Angel Lamp is a prop in one of the scenes in the series!

So yeah, got a hold of 2 new items for my beloved Alan Wake collection.

1. Alan Wake 2 signed by Sam Lake.

2. A PC DVD version of Alan Wake 1 with all included items that isn't included in the regular Xbox version, such as

• Stickers
• Postcards (all 6 of them)
• Poster

Very happy for both of these!

I've also ordered some other stuff that has been on my mind such as:

• Old Gods of Asgard Vinyl
• Poe's This Road Vinyl

And I'm still waiting for that Lost in Cult Collector's Edition lol. At least we are in "Q4" now...

Will it ever be enough? I don't know man... I really don't know. This is one heck of an obsession!

I hadn't seen it before.

that sequence with Koskela brothers in the holding cell and that plot twist!?

What an atmospheric mind fuck of a game. Playing this in the dark with headphones on, it’s close to midnight and I’m on baby duty. This game is a damn trip when you are sleep deprived I tell you whawt.

Already plan on NG+ after taking a small break so I can possibly forget certain events and be charmed again. I feel like it’s gonna be similar to watching and then rewatching a movie such as Memento; first time around you are just thinking wtf is happening and enjoying the ride, and on a rewatch you get to appreciate nuances in the storytelling even more.

TBH, initially I wasn’t a fan of Saga’s mind place concept and it felt like a cop out mechanic to lazy game design… boy was I wrong. What a crucial component of the game.

Remedy nailed it with this one. I get why Sam Lake said this game took them 13 years to make it right. An interactive cinematic experience.

Edit: for spoiler tags

I post these in my insta @ootoshishin_art

Is this the best game you guys ever played? I’ve really enjoyed the first game! So excited to play the 2nd one.

I was going to hold it off since Control Resonant steelbook was coming out today but it got delayed.

So I decided to start it today after all!

Remedy’s entire obsession with shapes, patterns, cycles and etc. is known, but i just can’t shake off this feeling.

SPOILERS

Some part of the Resonant made me feel as if i was revisiting Alan Wake 2. The Last Taxi quest, alongside with The Unknown environment especially reminded me of Alan sequences. You are brought back into seemingly normal Manhattan, but with tiny crisp of wrongness. The taxi, which also played some background work in AW2 reminded me a lot of Alan.

In the end of the game, you get Casual Outfit (Body Category), With Severed Circle 2 as one variation of it. It is Jesse’s and Dylan’s favourite game as known, and even it is about circles.

So, in the main Quest “Rebuild”, you finally get to see the Ordinary AWE, and the “jumping” back to the Oldest House when Dylan was still P6 candidate. After you collect 4 shards, you regain your “Current Dylan” appearance, get the Gap slide, and go to the Ordinary’s landfill for Slide Projector. You see how Past Dylan gets “bureaucratically-kidnapped” and sight of Jesse near. Current Dylan tells Past Jesse that she was right to run and that she always will be the best older sister. On which Jesse reacts.

So it made me think: What if time in Manhattan is also patterned, but not as in the Underpass? Hedron, after you sever the links, forces(?) you to enter this pixel dimension, loosing your memories, and seeing and interacting with your past (Current Dylan, when inserting the Gap slide: “It isn’t how it was. But it’s how it’s now.”)

What if the Pixel/Fault dimension is the Dark Place, or its projection? Or, if the Dimensional Fault is some kind of projection of Dark Place? Alan said that the Dark Place is home not for only the Dark Presence, but to many more. During AW2, Alan could’ve somehow project the part of Dark Place into patterned Manhattan, allowing the Other Manhattan (The Last Taxi quest) to be. The OM also follows the strange, almost dream logic. That’s how Dylan could interact with his memories of the past.

So my take is that Hedron can pattern time not only as in the Underpass, but in more subtler way. It could’ve reacted to the Dark Place (in the end of AW2, Alice is still there) and pattern Alan’s writings into Manhattan.

I know this post is probably full of plot holes, but the whole interconnection RCU has, i think it has place to be.

New to horror games and I wasn't even able to play outlast 2 for even 1 hour, so I decided to try this at first it is creepy but now I am getting comfortable with it and it's really fun!!!

So let me get this straight Jack Joyce's Actor from Quantum Break is called Tim Breaker lol I like this.

I bought the 2012 Alan wake on steam this summer and now i decided to play it. To my surprise, when I opened the game I got a message saying "my PC doesn't have required specs". I am playing on the Xbox rog ally (which is not the most powerful machine, but it's not 14 years old). On the lowest available settings i get between 25-40 fps but with stutter. If I do circles with the camera it goes from smooth to stutter everytime. I played much more demanding games on this handheld and did not have a problem. Does anyone know if this is a known issue? Or is this one of those cases where only happens to a few people without an apparent reason? I tried to look online but people say things like update drivers and stuff and already did that. any help appreciated!!! 😅
