Poe & Sam Lake Signs Alan Wake 2-Inspired Vinyl. This Road at Amoeba Hollywood (w. Interview)

20:19  Rachel  

Last week, Poe and Sam Lake travelled to Amoeba Hollywood in Los Angeles, for a special signing of the artist's latest release, This Road. Inspired by Alan Wake 2, the 12" vinyl features both the title track, This Road, and 6 Deep Breaths as featured in Remedy's latest adventure. With Sam already in the West Coast for The Game Awards, the duo teamed up for a special event; during the day the two would sign copies of the vinyl and pose for photographs with fans, in the evening they would take part in a special live performance hosted by Siren Society.

The live performance was held at the EastWest Studios, where Poe dazzled listeners with performances of her latest works in the Frank Sinatra room. While it's hard to find out for sure, the event looks to be invite-only, though recordings were allowed to take place with many sharing their memories of the night to Instagram.

While the events were targeted for those who were able to attend in person, there is a treat for those following online. On the day, Ethan Huang (Editor and Producer for Annenerg Media) sat down with both artists in a rare double interview. In the discussion, Poe talks about the complicated reasons behind her public hiatus from music, her connection to Alan Wake, and the original discussions which kindled their collaboration. You can read the full interview, HERE. (Archived)

Remedy Releases Alan Wake 2 Update 1.2.7 for PlayStation 5 Pro & The Lake House Expansion

16:09  Rachel  

Yesterday, Remedy released a new update for Alan Wake 2, targeted at improving the performance on the PlayStation 5 Pro.

For PS4 Pro owners, the studio added a “balanced” graphic mode that finds the sweet point between quality and performance. Adjustments were also made to the game's visual settings in Performance Mode and as well as the ray-tracing to “achieve a less noisy image”. 

Outside of the console-specific tweaks, there are a couple of fixes to reported issues in The Lake House expansion. Check out the full update notes below or on the Alan Wake website, HERE.

PlayStation 5 (1.200.007)
Xbox Series (1.2.0.7)
PC (1.2.7) 

Improvements and additions 

[PS5 Pro] Added a new “Balanced” graphics mode. This mode requires compatible displays that can achieve a 120Hz refresh rate. The Balanced mode combines PS5 Pro Quality mode settings including raytracing with Performance mode resolution. This mode targets 40fps. 

[PS5 Pro] Slightly adjusted visual settings of the Performance mode to achieve a more consistent framerate. 

[PS5 Pro] Quality and Balanced mode: Adjusted Raytracing settings to achieve a less noisy image. 

[PS5 Pro] Added an option to toggle PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) On/Off. 

Fixes 

[The Lake House] Fixed manuscript collectables that showed the wrong page in Saga’s Mind Place. 

[The Lake House] Fixed “Welcome to the Lake House” video collectable missing audio. 

Minor fixes and optimizations.

Alan Wake Receives "Ugly Christmas Jumper" In Dead By Daylight Update

21:12  Rachel  

To wrap up the year, BeHaviour Interactive has released an update, kickstarting Dead By Daylight's new festive event. Well... “festive” in A Nightmare Before Christmas sense.

The event, appropriately named Bone Chill 2024, brings new outfits, new rewards, new hiding places and a new map; the Ormond Lake Mine. Most importantly, though, it brings Alan Wake in a dapper new outfit. 

That's right! For Christmas, Alan Wake has been gifted an "ugly sweater”. Listed on the store as the Deerfest Celebration, the jumper is described as, “a souvenir from Bright Fall's most beloved holiday”. The piece costs 250 Auric Cells and features the Cult of the Tree mask alongside two deer on the front and a lighthouse on the back. Lining the top and bottom of the jumper are a row of trees, carefully knitted into neat rows. 

While in our hearts the Alan Wake jumper is the item that this whole event revolves around, BeHaviour has some pretty nice treats in store in the update. For instance, the aforementioned Ormond Lake Mine, covered in snow and swarming in a wintery-haze, is not exclusive to Bone Chill but as a permanent addition to the game.

There are also a number of other characters receiving the ugly jumper treatment including Sable Ward, Turie Cain and Aestri Yazer, with new festive skins available for The Blight, The Legion and Jonah Vasquez. Within the game, the studio is bringing back the snowmen, an environmental item allows you (survivor or killer) to hide within and control. Plus, those that dive into the experience between now and January 6th, will unlock daily Bloodpoints. All in all, very good things are happening!

00:00  Rachel  

Remedy's Creative Director, Sam Lake, has been announced as one of four guest presenters set to take to the stage at the upcoming Game Awards 2024, hosted by Geoff Keighley. 

The reveal was made via the organiser's social media channels earlier today, marking the final week before the event goes live. Lake is set to join Laura Bailey (actor), Aaron Paul (actor), and Hideo Kojima (developer and advisory board member) on the stage for a night of celebration. 

The Game Awards 2024 will be streamed live on Thursday, December 12th from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. A limit number of public tickets have been made available*, but if you can't make it in person, you can watch via YouTube and Twitch with us. 

For those who are unfamiliar with The Game Awards, the ceremony celebrate the success, creativity and endurance of the developers who have released adventures over the past twelve months. To create the short list, nominees for the majority of categories are selected by an international jury of over 100 global media outlets and influencers, with specific categories featuring a specialised talent. The top five games that appear most are put forward for the shortlist. Winners are determined based on a blended vote; public voting (10%) and voting jury (90%). Unlike many similar award ceremonies, there is no submission process or entry fee for a game to be submitted.

You can learn more about The Game Awards on their website, HERE.
