In an interview with Eurogamer, Remedy’s Sam Lake revealed that Quantum Break was originally meant to be a new part in the Alan Wake series. As such, Alan Wake 2 would have been an episodic game with live action episodes in between.
As Sam Lake told Eurogamer:
“In the early concept of Alan Wake 2 that we took to Microsoft … there was the idea of it being episodic and in between having live action episodes. That part they loved. They were like, ‘This is a keeper but… we are looking for a new IP.’ They wanted to own that. Alan Wake is ours so that was off the table, so it needed to be something else.”
In order to keep the IP rights to the Alan Wake franchise, Remedy decided to create a new game for Microsoft (who would own the IP), and that was Quantum Break.
Sam Lake also confirmed that Remedy’s unannounced project, P7, has nothing to do with the Alan Wake series. Still, Sam Lake would love to return to it.
“We are not making Alan Wake 2 at the moment. We own Alan Wake, I feel there is value in Alan Wake, I would love to do more Alan Wake, but these things, they are more than just creative ideas: there is a business side to it. There are many things that need to click into place to make it possible.”

…And it would’ve been far far better pretty sure…
Get your sht together remedy, pls.
…Hopefully
Kinda glad, honestly. Alan Wake’s pacing would’ve been killed with half hour long TV episodes between chapters. I seriously hope they can that idea if they ever do make the sequel.
I guess they wanted to dump the stinking live action into Alan Wake!
can you pc gamers stop with alan wake and half life 3 already its never going to happen..lol
can you stop posting? Your victory will never happen.
the truth is a troll my friend and i speak the truth.
Even entertaining the idea that the truth may be a troll (for argument sake), it still does not mean that all trolls speak any truth. Your very existence is an example of that. Of course, to expect that a peasant troll can be more would too naive.
the truth is a troll all pc gaming is good for is esports and buying a skin from a cash shop..lol.,…thats the truth about pc gaming.
keep buying those star citizen ships boys…forever alpha like day z and h1z1…lol
see what i mean about cash shop skin buying..lol
Andddd he’s at it again.
*grabs popcorn*
Guys, the block button is riiiiiight over there >>>>
Just do it.
Nooo i actually love HVD. I’ve had funny encounters and since then i love reading tue collateral damage his posts are creating ;(.
He’s not clever or amusing. Trolling can be cool if the troll is actually funny. He’s too thick-headed to be that kind of troll. He’s a rock in your shoe.
Oh 🙁
i just pawned him.
the truth is a troll my friend facts are facts.pc gaming would be dead if not for esports and cash shop revenue for skin sales is what keeps the pc going.
people seam to call the truth trolling so be it.
the truth is a troll.
sit back enjoy the show and watch me pawn some scrubs..
IM RDY.
The truth is you’re too stupid to know what truth is. You’re a troll that everyone sees through. As trolling goes, that as stupid as it gets, loser.
He’s an admitted troll. Block him and move on. Save yourself the time.
then why do these alan wake articles keep popping up.
He’s an admitted troll. He’s a very sad and desperate individual. Block him and move on.
Was quantum break any good?
No really.
It’s fking sht
It’s decent. I would say it’s worth it at ~$20
I had fun playing it. Mind you, you better have a good computer. I loved the Live Action compared to everybody else lol but it’s me. I thought it brought something new to the game “story wise” and i love standing back and looking at what my choice meant while eating punani.
Wasn’t playing, it was a 40mins cutscene andddd it was a joke 😉
Oh my. I’m dumb. Didn’t see through it.
Thoroughly mediocre, regardless of the technical issues.
By-the-by, did we get the live-action segments on Steam, in the end, or are we still missing those?
Its okay. But more of 1/2 TV show 1/2 game. Cause you will literally spending at least an hour and a half watching cutscenes.
I am not the type of person who explores “every nook and cranny” but I barely got any chronon sources when I played the game. I probably got around like 3. It didn’t hamper my ability to finish the game though.
I though it was good, but no way near as great as Alan Wake.
After the devs of this made the excuse of “Alan Wake was meant to be played with a gamepad on a couch” as to why it was initially a console exclusive, I checked out. Never giving these devs a penny for any future game they work on.
For me Quantum Break could never be Alan Wake. Alan Wake came to GOG so I could own it DRM free.
