Do we really need Alan Wake 2?

I haven´t played Alan Wake but it isn´t a huge franchise. Mybe it would be a smarter thing to try to establish a new franchise.

No, it isn't huge but "Remedy Entertainment" the creators of the original Max Payne and The Fall of Max Payne are (or were).

My take is that, just like "Rare", Remedy is another studio that MS dragged down to the gutter.

I am eagerly awaiting for a sequel on the PC.

There is nothing worse than an uneducated response. Microsoft doesn't own Remedy. They just own the publishing rights to Alan Wake. Also it is obvious Remedy likes to take their time with releasing games. I mean they only have to my knowledge 3 console releases and those 3 releases are also on PC. O believe they have an mobile game to.

So I don't know how Microsoft can drag Remedy down when they are not part of each other.

BTW Remedy is/was working on a new facial animation software for Alan Wake 2 for over 2 years now. So they obviously are putting in a lot of time for their next release.

MS owns Alan not Remedy. Alan Wake is notorious for its long development cycle which started right after Max Payne 2 had ended.

Also notorious were the open world radical concepts that Remedy had for the game, it was after all the studio that brought "bullet time" to the world. Which all were left behind after it was announced exclusively for the 360.

It goes without saying that you are absolutely wrong in saying that Remedy likes to take time with their games since the stellar Max Mayne 1 & 2 each took about a couple of years.

Alan wake is the game that took 6 years to make by the studio that made the gaming world drop their jaws with the legendary (and mutlimillion seller) Max Payne and in turn it sold like 1.3 mil. Yeah, let's pretend that is not draggin into the gutter. Let's pretend its a wild succes.

And no my frustration with MS and what they did Remedy has nothing to do with the fact that i have a ps3 at them moment but the little fact that i was there when the Max Payn demo hit the PC and i was there the game hit the shelves in the middle of my summer exams in 2001.
