Après la sortie compliquée du premier Alan Wake, il aura fallu 13 ans pour que Remedy remonte sa licence à la surface. La recette reste la même : un TPS classique pris entre le surnaturel et l'horreur psychologique. Mais cette suite va bien plus loin formellement, en usant (et abusant) de très nombreuses séquences filmées, des pubs, des concerts, des vlogs et autres superpositions d'images pour narrer son histoire. Le tout convoquant des références incessantes, à Lynch comme aux précédents titres du studio. Un méli-mélo qui peut rendre le titre attachant mais qui embourbe son gameplay déjà convenu dans un rythme laborieux et laisse finalement peu de place à celle ou celui qui tient la manette. Et qui en donne beaucoup, beaucoup à Sam Lake. FDG revient sur cet égo-trip à l'équilibre bien précaire.Merci à nos patreotes qui financent l'émission sur https://www.patreon.com/findugameRejoignez le club de lecture sur Discord : https://discord.gg/YTGbSkNSi vous réalisez un achat sur Top Achat, vous pouvez entrer le code créateur FINDUGAME pour soutenir l'émission.

2001 erscheint, nach langer Entwicklungszeit und begleitet von ordentlich Hype, Max Payne, ein 3rd person shooter mit einem frischen Feature, der auslösbaren Zeitlupe ("Bullet Time"), toller Grafik und einem ungewöhnlichen Erzählstil. Der Titel mit dem namensgebenden Helden erreicht hohe Wertungen und gute Verkaufszahlen, er startet eine kurze Serie von immerhin drei Teilen. Und macht das finnische Studio Remedy Entertainment schlagartig bekannt, das in der Folge noch eine Reihe aufwändig erzählter Action-Spiele abliefert, zuletzt Alan Wake 2. Die Herren Lott und Schmidt haben Max Payne seinerzeit bei Erscheinen begeistert gespielt, aber für diesen Podcast natürlich auch aktuelle Spielerfahrung neben die goldene Erinnerung gestellt, wenn es um die Analyse des Spiels geht.

THIS IS A PREVIEW. FOR THE FULL EPISODE, GO TO Patreon.com/worstofall My name is Alan Wake. I'm a writer. Two years ago, three “critics” from The Worst of All Possible Worlds podcast decided to slander my good name and drag my first game through the mud. Now, they've Returned from their previous Departure and have fully Initiated themselves into my torment anew. Will they dub me the Champion of Light? Or cast me off as the Herald of Darkness? Only one thing's for sure: Stephen King once wrote “Nobody better lay a finger on my Butterfinger.” He said this before snorting three lines of cocaine and trying to fight a bus. He would later go on to marry that bus in a private ceremony in Maine. This marriage was quickly annulled when everyone involved realized you cannot marry a bus. I married Alice, a human woman. I know this because I know the difference between a woman and a bus. That's why I famously wrote the line: “It's not a woman, it's a bus.” Want more TWOAPW? Get access to the rest of this episode, our full back catalogue of premium and bonus episodes, and add your name to the masthead of our website by subscribing for $5/month at Patreon.com/worstofall!

Alan Wake II is already set to be one of the top games of the year. With layered horror storytelling and a mixed-medium approach to game design, this sequel to 2010's Alan Wake carries on the legacy of one of gaming's biggest horror-mystery icons. Developed by Remedy Entertainment and published by Epic Games, we got the chance to talk with Creative Director Sam Lake and Game Director Kyle Rowley about Remedy's first survival horror game and revisiting an IP 13 years later. Additionally, we discuss Saga's importance and the uniqueness of bringing in another protagonist hero alongside your titular character and making her just as important.

On Writing is Stephen King's memoir/how-I-write-good tome that is both inspirational and revealing about how one of our greatest living authors navigates his craft. Personal stories lead into grammar lessons that somehow diverge into editorial and then back to King's childhood where he suffered various traumas, like getting fart on by his babysitter and maybe even seeing his closest friend obliterated by a passing train.

Welcome to Dev Game Club, where this week we begin our annual spooky series in a little place called Bright Falls, with Remedy's 2010 horror adventure Alan Wake. We place the game in its time a bit (not that long ago) and talk about how that first episode presents itself. Dev Game Club looks at classic video games and plays through them over several episodes, providing commentary. Sections played: Episode 1 Issues covered: reviewing our spooky season, feeling like a 2010 game, the Alan Wake DLC for Control, hard to compare with other developers, doubling down on a hook, connecting their games together, featuring the preoccupations of one writer, reviewing 2010, an open world game, systemic survival games, thinking about some open horror games, empowerment and lack of dread, being close to a visual narrative, stitching together narrative, simple combat, graphic novel treatments and tv treatments, iterating on what they do well, bullet time, theming around narrative, making you a little unsettled, thin interactivity, leaning on Stephen King, the Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks connection, the early ages of narrative design and adding writing, pacing out in an open world version, cross-pollination, licensed music, the diner scene, what is reality, too many puzzle boxes, not worrying about the threads too much, the Riddler writes in, Brett's Arkham City Riddler progress, having a controller for the first time, the mouse and the flash-in-the-pan, a great first controller game. Games, people, and influences mentioned or discussed: Karl Stewart, Arkham Asylum, Resident Evil (series), Silent Hill 2, Dead Space, Eternal Darkness, Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines, Remedy Entertainment, Max Payne (series), Quantum Break, Control, Sam Lake, Arnold Schwarzeneggar, X-Files, Twin Peaks, House of Leaves, Bioshock 2, God of War III, Mass Effect 2, Starcraft 2, Super Mario Galaxy 2, Just Cause 2, Fable III, Halo: Reach, Dead Rising 2, Red Dead Redemption, Fallout: New Vegas, Limbo, Heavy Rain, Quantic Dream, Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Penumbra, Deadly Premonition, Epic Mickey, Darksiders, AC: Brotherhood, MGS: Peacewalker, PSP, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, The Long Dark, Evil Within (series), idTech, Ghostwire: Tokyo, Shenmue, Stephen King, The Shining, Misery, Blue Velvet, Dean Stockwell, Kyle MacLachlan, Dennis Hopper, Microsoft Studios, The Coconut Song, Reservoir Dogs, Stuck in the Middle with You, Practical Magic, LOST, S., Doug Dorst, American Nightmare, Calamity Nolan, Geoff, Mark Hamill, LucasArts, LodeRunner, DOOM (1993), Quake, Ken Schoemake, SSX, Tony Hawk Pro Skater (series), Final Fantasy IX, Kirk Hamilton, Aaron Evers, Mark Garcia.  Next time: Episodes 2 and 3?
