Alan Wake 2 Hands-On Impressions: Unraveling The Mysteries Of Watery As Saga

Platform: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, PC Publisher: Epic Games Developer: Remedy Entertainment Release: October 27, 2023 Rating: Mature I got my hands on Alan Wake 2 during a recent preview event, letting me explore two slices of the game as the titular troubled author and FBI agent Saga Anderson. You can read about my experience with Alan’s segment here , but Saga’s side shows plenty of promise and narrative intrigue.  My demo begins with Saga in the third chapter of her campaign. She arrives in the small town of Watery in search of the Clicker, a serial killer who seemingly has ties to the menacing Cult of the Tree.  Investigations are Saga’s forte, and I’m tasked with probing Watery’s various villagers in search of leads. Touring the town gives me strong vibes of the first Alan Wake game; in fact, at this point, I have the option to hop in a car and fast-travel to Bright Falls. As an FBI agent, this early section heavily focuses on collecting clues based on...

Alan Wake 2 Will Have A Performance Mode On PS5 And Xbox Series X

Alan Wake 2 has continued to stun and impress with its visuals and spooky but enticing world since its reveal during The Game Awards 2021 . Since then, we've seen beautiful concept art , trailers , gameplay, and more of developer Remedy Entertainment's latest. Today, Remedy communications director Thomas Puha confirmed on Twitter that Alan Wake 2 will have a Performance mode on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X.  Notably, Puha's tweet specifically names "Xbox Series X," and not the weaker Xbox Series S console. As it stands, it's unclear if the aforementioned Performance mode will come to Xbox Series S consoles; Game Informer has reached out to Remedy for confirmation and will update this story if we learn more.  I’m glad to say that Alan Wake 2 will have a Performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The game has been built from the beginning as a 30fps experience focusing on visuals and ambiance, but somehow we have managed to include a solid Performance ...

New Lies Of P Update Includes Various Changes To Make The Game Easier

A new Lies of P update is live on PlayStation and Steam, and it includes several changes to bosses, standard enemies, items, and more that should make the game easier overall. The update is not yet live on Xbox platforms but publisher Neowiz says the Xbox versions of the update "have been submitted to Microsoft for testing and will be updated as soon as they are ready."  Lies of P hit PlayStation, Xbox, and PC earlier this month. It's one of our favorite games of the year – read about why in Game Informer's Lies of P review here – but it's a tough soulslike that kicked our butts more than once. However, today's Update 1.2.0.0 should make the game easier overall so if you've taken a break from saving Krat with Pinocchio, now might be a good time to jump back in.  Here's what's changed in Update 1.2.0.0 in Lies of P:  Balance Changes  Decreased the HP of certain field monsters Increased the chance of breaking some monsters' stance and ...

SAG-AFTRA Members Vote Yes To Authorize Video Game Strike

SAG-AFTRA union members have voted yes to authorize a video game strike. It did so with a 98.72% vote in favor of authorizing a strike on the Interactive Media Agreement that covers its members' work in the games industry. In total, 34,687 members cast ballots, which represents 27.47% of eligible voters, SAG-AFTRA writes in a press release.  This vote does not mean SAG-AFTRA is striking, but gives the union leverage in its ongoing negotiations and, if needed, allows the union to begin a strike immediately. The union hopes this strike authorization will work as added leverage, compelling the companies it is bargaining with "to make significant movement on critical issues where we are still far apart." As for why, SAG-AFTRA has been in Interactive Media Agreement negotiations with "signatory video game companies," including Activision Productions Inc., Disney Character Voices Inc., Electronic Arts Productions Inc., Insomniac Games Inc., Epic Games, Take 2 Produ...
