The Alan Wake 2 trailer in the PlayStation Showcase was 100% running on PlayStation 5. I want to really point that out. We did say in 2021 that we are gonna push the graphics hard on this one. I think we'll have the best looking game in 2023 #AlanWake2 #alanwake #PlayStation5

I’m glad to say that Alan Wake 2 will have a Performance mode on PS5 and Xbox Series X. The game has been built from the beginning as a 30fps experience focusing on visuals and ambiance, but somehow we have managed to include a solid Performance mode. We’ll talk details later.

I enjoyed the TGAs. It’s incredibly hard to make these shows happen at this level. Winners on stage should have had more time to talk and I’d say a few categories were really just bypassed and this is the game Awards, not the Trailer/Celeb awards. It was still great.

There would not be a Control without 505 Games and all their work on it. Nobody else really wanted to give us a solid deal for the game way back when we were shopping it around.

The origins of the name Control kind of came from Remedy taking back control of its destiny so in some ways this is full circle.

DualSense support. For example, "feel" rain patter on the controller. Each weapon feels different on the trigger, so a shotgun will be markedly different from the crossbow. You can ofc turn this stuff off if you want. Also supported on PC if you use the DualSense there.

Microsoft is a software company (Sony isnt) and they've put huge effort into backwards compatibility. for many years. I dont think Sony can match that. Its not just about having a fast SSD, its about the software in the background and a myriad of other things.
