That’s ”no secret” as they’d ”love to make a second” if fans like Alan Wake’s offerings. Such a decision is ”really up in the air” as it’s not out yet.
”Well, it’s certainly no secret that we’d love to make a second one if the first one does well. But since the game isn’t even out yet, it’s really up in the air,” posted Remedy’s Mikko Rautalahti on the official Alan Wake forum, reports VG247.
Rautalahti also touches on the critical reception it’s gotten. ”Yeah, we don’t really look at the Metascore all that much. It’d be nice if it was really high, of course, but considering how much praise we’ve gotten this far, we feel pretty good about the whole thing.”
”Clearly, it’s been a critical success; the fact that some people feel differently about it doesn’t change the fact that of the scores listed in the first post of this thread, there are eight perfect scores, and over 40 give us a 9 or a better. Only 7 reviews have given us a score of less than 8,” continued the developer.
”That tells us in no uncertain terms that there’s a lot of love for Alan Wake out there, and we’d have to be complete goddamn idiots to not be satisfied with that. I mean, sure, the next time, we definitely hope to top that, it’s nice to have something to aim for, but we’re pretty damn far from disappointed.”
Alan Wake releases exclusively on Xbox 360 this Friday, May 14th in Europe and on Tuesday, May 18th in the US. It’s been a long-time coming this Remedy game.
