Mikko Rautalahti and the team at Remedy studios are very happy with the reception Alan Wake has received. Mikko even adds that they'd have to be goddamn idiots to not be satisfied. The praise have been so positive that they will love to make a sequel to Alan Wake to top their first game if everything goes well.
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. 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.-Mikko Rautalahti
The positive reception is clearly there, now go and buy the game if you want to see Alan Wake 2.
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.-Mikko Rautalahti
