Alan Wake 2 developers want to become “Europe's Naughty Dog”

Remedy Entertainment aims to be a leading force in the gaming industry, drawing inspiration from Naughty Dog, particularly the Uncharted series. According to Alan Wake 2 director Kyle Rowley, their goal is to become "the European Naughty Dog," a testament to their ambition.

Rowley, in a Behind The Voice podcast interview, explained how this influence shaped Quantum Break and, more recently, Alan Wake 2. He explicitly stated their aspiration to be the European equivalent of the renowned studio.

This inspiration is clear in Alan Wake 2's cinematic presentation, praised for its stunning visuals and gripping narrative. The game's success has firmly established Remedy's position as a top European developer.

Remedy's ambitions extend beyond the horror genre. Naughty Dog's mastery of cinematic single-player experiences, exemplified by Uncharted and the critically acclaimed The Last of Us franchise (one of the most awarded in history), serves as a benchmark.

Over a year post-launch, Alan Wake 2 continues to receive updates enhancing gameplay across all platforms. A significant improvement is the optimization for PS5 Pro, introducing a "Balanced" graphics mode that combines the strengths of the Performance and Quality modes.

These updates also refine the graphical settings for smoother frame rates and clearer visuals, alongside minor bug fixes, particularly impacting gameplay within the Lake House expansion.
