Remedy Entertainment's ambition is to become a leading force in the gaming industry. Inspired by Naughty Dog, particularly their Uncharted series, Remedy aims to be "Europe's Naughty Dog," according to Alan Wake 2 director Kyle Rowley.
Rowley, in a Behind The Voice podcast interview, explained how this inspiration shaped Quantum Break and, subsequently, Alan Wake 2. He explicitly stated their goal: to be the European equivalent of the renowned studio.
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 being one of the most decorated franchises), serves as a benchmark.
Alan Wake 2, over a year post-launch, continues to receive updates enhancing gameplay across all platforms. These improvements include significant optimizations for the PS5 Pro. A new "Balanced" graphics option combines the strengths of the PS5 Pro Performance and Quality modes.
These updates also refine graphical settings for smoother frame rates and reduced visual noise. In addition to the PS5 Pro enhancements, several minor gameplay bugs, particularly within the Lake House expansion, have been addressed.
