IGN has shared a video, showing seven minutes of gameplay footage from Alan Wake Remastered. The game releases on October 5th, and this video will give you a glimpse at its remastered visuals.
Alan Wake Remastered features higher-quality 3D models and textures. Moreover, it comes with some additional bushes, as well as slightly improved lighting.
However, the game will not support Ray Tracing or HDR. And, to be honest, this is a huge disappointment as the game could benefit from both of them. Now while it will not support Ray Tracing, it will support NVIDIA’s DLSS tech.
Lastly, the PC version will be x64 and support DX12 only.
Enjoy!

For PC players this isn’t much of an improvement. Alan’s new face model looks better in terms of graphical quality but also weird and unnatural

It’s a Tencent Store exclusive!
DX12 only? Hopefully it runs better than Control, which took a 10% performance hit compared to DX11 on my 5700 XT.
DX12 is not the problem, most DX12 titles run well or worse than DX11 on both brands. In fact, AMD (GCN) cards were known to run better in DX12 due to the much higher driver overhead in DX11. Control is just a Nvidia-sponsored title that happens to run much better on Nvidia cards, as AC: Valhalla runs much better on AMD cards (also DX12).
Quantum Break ran the same on DX11 or DX12 on AMD.
Control in my tests runs better in DX11 than DX12 on AMD.
And they want us to pay for this? What is remastered here? The Alan Wake logo?
New face is extremely ugly
Yeah, they tried to make him more relatable for gamers.
It is literally the actual actor’s face…
He is not bad looking in real life but in game it this face just looks weird

Is he squeezing a fart out? why does he look like he’s taking a shet?
While we are on the subject I think this may be a good time to educate the masses about the correct way to mount a roll of toilet paper.

People who mount the roll the incorrect way are probably hippies who are rebelling against society and just want to be different.
Fun Facts about toilet paper:
It takes about 384 trees to make the toilet paper for one person in their lifetime.
The average person uses about 100 rolls per year.
The daily production of toilet paper is about 83 million rolls per day.
Most of the world doesn’t use toilet paper at all. They use water.
Using bidet spray is the way to go, It gives you bon3r at first but you’ll not look back at toilet papers again.
Calm down man, just take your pills then we talk.
Using bidet spray is the way to go, It gives you b*ner at first but you’ll not look back at toilet papers again.
Excellent work by the team!

Jesus that made me laugh

This probably looks like the most believable house I’ve ever seen in my entire life.
Uncharted 4 took 6 hours for it not become sh*t. Doing domestic chores; underwater salvage day job mini-game; farting about a mansion as a child; infiltrating a fancy dress party – all torturously boring. For a 10-12 game, if 40-50% is boring, poorly paced sludge then that’s a huge fail.
“mods will fix it”
damn i forgot how scripted, “cinematic” and light on gameplay games used to be back then.
GOG is cucked as ?f?u??c?k also since it belong to CDCuckjekt. You’re better off just pirating.

Looks like a noticeable enough improvement. Not enough for me to want to buy it again on anything but a deep discount sale (Wait long enough and they’ll probably give it away for free on Epic Store. Possibly to promote the rumoured Alan Wake 2 that Epic is bankrolling).
FYI, this remaster is being worked on the same team who did the Mafia 2 remaster, so it could have noticeable technical issues.

“Additional bushes” lol thats gotta be the dumbest selling point for a game I have seen in some time
Came for the puke gifs, not dissapointed
No offense, but how could this be DX12 only? If anything should be DX11 at worst, Vulkan at best.
How? This definitely looks better than the original. Alan’s face looks a bit weird at times, I prefer the original there, but specifically what you posted surely looks better in the Remaster.
