Developers Alan Wake 2 from Remedy Entertainment "always believed that we need to look for ways to create longer games", – He noticed the creative director of Sam Lake in a new interview, where the differences between the upcoming game in the horror genre, which will be released in October, and the original game of 2010 are also considered in detail.

Lake added that, despite the fact that Remedy focuses on the expectations of the audience, it is difficult for him to allocate several hours for longer games. "[This] is just a fight against the search for time and an interest in the plot, the desire to bring it to the end", – he said. "Therefore, sometimes it’s even scary to start playing a game that, as you know, is very, very long".

All this is from the latest issue of the Kinda Funny program, in which the watering can sits with glass eyes a lot, and his professional opinion is asked on topics such as the possible sale of Gearbox and various screenshots of Spider -Man 2. But there is also some information about the new Alan Wake, which will be the longest game Remedy today.

"I think that the games are Remed, traditionally were quite short, about 10 hours", – I noticed a watering can at one of the moments. "And we always believed that we need to look for ways to make longer games, because people look at this and in terms of price and quality ratio – to get enough. So Control, of course, was our longest game today, and Alan Wake 2 will be even longer – more than 20 hours".

In another place of the conversation, Lake touched on one of the mechanisms of extending the game time in the original Alan Wake – the notorious collection thermos.

There were about a hundred of them around the game world, in the forest. You found thermos with coffee, and we received complaints, by type "I’m looking for these thermos with coffee, but what’s the meaning?" We have accepted these reviews for. In Alan Wake 2, thermos with coffee is a really valuable item. They allow you to save the game in the rest rooms, like ink ribbons for writing machines in the original Resident Evil.

Lake added that Alan Wake 2 may seem more slow than her predecessor, since this is a game in the horror genre of survival, and not an adventure action. "This means that the pace of the game will be somewhat slower". However, he is sure that the game will meet all the works of Remedy in general.
