Remedy: Alan Wake has clearly been a critical success, Wants Alan Wake 2

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

i hope it sell's well, i want to see a sequel.

The key for a game to have a sequel is if the original sells well. The ratings don't mean much to the businessmen who have to invest in the sequal. KC_Hokie

That's great news for Remedy. I'll be waiting to get Alan Wake. (I want to see it for the PC in E3)

Already paid in full ICEMAN! :DElian2530

Now I'm curious as to this game's ending. Will it end with a "to be continued" or will they simply come up with something completely different for the potential second.

I feel like it's weird that they'd look at the reviews for determining that the game has been a "critical success!" Usually that's determined by the consumers. gamer082009

No, that's never determined by the consumers

Critical success means a success with the critics so it can't apply to anything else
