Sam Lake Explains How To Make An A24 Horror Game | Alan Wake 2 Interview

PlayStation Access interviews Sam Lake about the horror influences in Alan Wake 2 and how Remedy are making an A24 Horror Game.

We recently talked to the legendary Alan Wake creator Sam Lake about Remedy’s newest game. We quiz him about Alan Wake 2’s unusual story structure, the challenges of building game locations in real life, the importance of music in Alan’s world and what it’s like seeing your own face in a game - Sam Lake plays Alex Casey in the game. A lot goes into making a horror game and Sam has loads of juicy details to reveal. We also ask about the Alan Wake 2 Control connection and how one influenced the other.

Alan Wake 2’s story moves between two campaigns, letting you investigate crimes as Saga Anderson and fight Alan’s nightmarish demons in his personal hell. Oh, and a Remedy game has never looked any better thanks to the power of PS5. Everything you see is Alan Wake 2 PS5 gameplay and it looks absolutely gorgeous. Which bit of Alan Wake 2 gameplay are you most looking forward to?

We’ve not yet played Alan Wake 2 on PS5 - but you can see PS5 gameplay throughout this video. If you’d like to hear our full Alan Wake 2 impressions - and see more of that world, check out our early impressions (https://youtu.be/2DMK-e8YNhY) and our video about how this is the scariest Remedy game ever (https://youtu.be/ZvO0FOmmG6I).
