Remedy Entertainment aims to be a leading force in the gaming industry, drawing inspiration from Naughty Dog, particularly the Uncharted series. Alan Wake 2 director Kyle Rowley, in a Behind The Voice podcast interview, expressed the studio's ambition to become "the European Naughty Dog."
This influence is clear in Alan Wake 2's cinematic presentation, praised for its stunning visuals and compelling narrative. The game's success has 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 (the latter a record-breaking award-winner), serves as a benchmark.
Even over a year after its launch, Alan Wake 2 receives ongoing updates. A recent update significantly enhances the PS5 Pro experience by introducing a "Balanced" graphics mode, combining the best aspects of the Performance and Quality modes. These improvements, along with minor graphical tweaks for smoother frame rates and reduced image noise, also address several minor gameplay bugs, particularly within the Lake House expansion.
