Remedy Entertainment's ambition is to be a leading force in the gaming industry. Inspired by Naughty Dog, particularly their Uncharted series, Remedy aims to become "Europe's Naughty Dog," according to Alan Wake 2 director Kyle Rowley.
Rowley, in a Behind The Voice podcast interview, explained how this influence shaped Quantum Break and, subsequently, Alan Wake 2. He 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 captivating narrative. The game's success cemented Remedy's status as a top European developer.
Remedy's aspirations extend beyond the horror genre. Naughty Dog's mastery of cinematic single-player experiences, exemplified by Uncharted and The Last of Us (a PlayStation cornerstone and one of history's most awarded franchises), serves as a clear benchmark.
Over a year post-launch, Alan Wake 2 continues receiving updates, enhancing gameplay across all platforms. These improvements include optimizations for the PS5 Pro, introducing a "Balanced" graphics option that combines elements of the Performance and Quality modes.
These graphical adjustments aim for a smoother frame rate and reduced visual noise. In addition to the PS5 Pro enhancements, the update addresses minor bugs impacting gameplay, particularly within the Lake House expansion.
