I can imagine everyone sitting in a large room exchanging ideas for the game when Sam suddenly goes "you know we need a dance number in this survival horror game which already makes you question reality. It's very important for um you know story progression and stuff".
@EdwinTyler probably. Then again, it functioned well both as an intermission and as comic relief after running through a prolonged period of scary ass shit.
Apparently a lot of his devs were like 'do we really NEED the surreal rock opera sequence?' which isn't an unfair question really, but I am so glad Sam Lake stuck to his guns on this. It is wonderful.
Agreed! I love it so much when humour is added to in-game experiences like this! That’s what it’s all about, after all - having fun and a smile on your face. 😊
Favorite thing about this level is it happening right after Alan says something to the effect of all right I understand how this works now no more surprises and then immediately being thrown into a musical extravaganza and its just beautiful

And all the actors have to join the Poets/Old Gods to recreate the dance number; even the actors' characters that weren't included in this segment; like Saga, Ilmo and Jaako, Alice, and of course our boy Ahti. Hell even Rose, she may be an obsessive fangirl but she's dedicated to the cause.

Speaking of, if you just hang around the radios you can turn on in Control, each of them has a complete song, so that extensive list of songs in the credits is absolutely legit.
The way the actors urge and beckon you toward the right direction is fucking priceless. If you're gonna put the player on rails, you might as well do it with style XD
The complete shock I felt from this scene is unmatched by anything I've experienced in any videogame. But also...that small smile before a sip of coffee at the end? This man has been through so much, and that moment of reprieve (and perhaps, inspiration?) is worth so much in this story so far.
I was so taken aback by this. I couldn't stop smiling during this whole segment. As crazy as it is somehow it perfectly fits the narrative of the game. Sam is a genius.
@@jmb9040no politics being forced down our throats, just good old fun. Alan wake 2 is objectively better, better story writing and the developer actually gave us a love letter to a franchise we love. Get away with tlou2 bs

You get this song, you get Anger's Remorse, and then it all comes together in Dark Ocean Summoning that is the one true heir to Children of the Elder God from the first game. It is absolutely majestic.
I have been playing games since the early 80s. I have played pretty much every system and every franchise. And I can easily say this is my favorite level of all time.
Bro right!? I was born in 89 n been gaming since I was a kid kid.. Spyro, crash, doom, all of that and this by far is my favorite mission I’ve ever played hands down! Not to mention this game is now on my Mount Rushmore of games. God Remedy killed it with this one
The fact that Sam Lake is just among his characters dancing and singing along to a number that explains the plot of his game is genius, hilarious, and too gd meta 🤣
Can't believe it has been 6 months already. Wish I could play this again chapter for the first time, it was so f good, I didn't want it to end 😭😭😭 The song is amazing. It doesn't feel the same on the video, you must play it to feel it.
@@jmb9040bro.. tlou / tlou 2 had been my all time favorite game until I played Alan wake 2... Sam Lake has taken videogame to another level here. This game is just perfect
Literally JUST got done with this mission and I LOVED IT!! I don’t think I’ve ever experienced something like this in gaming before and my jaw was either dropped or I was ginning ear to ear and headbanging the entire time! I loved Spider-Man 2 but playing this, I think this deserves GOTY fs!! Plus the guitar riffs in this when you just let the music run is amazing !! Enjoying the hell outta this game so far man!!!
Absolutely agree! Before this mission i was wondering, if Alan Wake 2 wiil beat Baldurs Gate 3 for being the best game of ther year, but now forme personally it is the best game of the year
Аналогично, играл на 4к OLED телевизоре 77” с ПК, даже опешил от неожиданности, когда все красками заиграло, потом еще раз 20 перезапускал эту часть, чтобы еще раз насладится. Это шедевр определенно🤘😎
This had the same effect on gaming in general like playing Portal had on me. Something new and innovative and out from the left field. Rarely in today's games you get the true Wow factor. Sure you can get the wow from pure graphical prowess or mechanics, but the truly wonderful experiences are the whole package. Technical, atmosphere, sound, game mechanics/ideas etc. These kind of moments and games stay for years.
Man, Matthew Poretta should really get som kind of award for this! He can voice act (Alan), he can act (Dr. Darling in Control) an oh boy, can he sing!😁
With the way the gameplay works in this chapter it seriosly could be done really well. Its made like a Stage musical so all the base stuff is basicly there for a full on musical
This feels like a calumniation of what we saw in Control, with the Ashtray Maze and Dr Darling's music video section. Seriously my favorite moment in any game, I died laughing every time Sam Lake was show dancing
....there are tons of games with amazing soundtracks though??? Every kirby game, metal gear rising, final fantasy games, starcraft, halo wars, armored core (especially 4 and for answer), basically all megaman games regardless of series, i could go on but i dont wanna make my comment even longer
Awesome moment. Was blown away here by the sheer surreal madness of this moment, the skillful mix of realtime 3d and music, video, and it all pushes creatively beyond even the maze sequence in Control, arguably. And even that was in itself a rather audaciously extraordinary out of nowhere fusion of music and game that blew me away. The fact that Remedy can be said to have outdone even that here, is awesome. Kudos to the crazy cool level design and the brilliant audio editing that once again keeps pace seamlessly with the player, while still sounding amazing.
And Take Control's final verse is the summary of the game's finale for Jesse as she does just that. Remedy plays very very well with the interaction of theme and setting and they have a lot of fun pointing out where the two are not the same but can still interact.
With an ever-growing world of live service, battle royale juggernauts of AAA rated games, its nice to see a narrative driven, single player story like this. As someone who works in gaming, I tell everyone I meet that the guys at Remedy Entertainment are some of the best in the world at creativity and ensuring that you'll remember every game you play under their umbrella. Sam Lake will go down in the written history books of video gaming alongside the greats, like Hideo, Neil, Todd, and Marcus.
They really outdid themselves there. Even better than in Control and that one was already so good. It was so cool to go through all this. That is why we all love Remedy
"Rebirth" by Old Gods of Asgard is going to be out in December and can be purchased digitally and on CD or vinyl. Spotify release is probably happening the same day.
Man, ever since being introduced to Poets of the Fall in Max Payne 2, they have been my favourite band/artists ever since! So very glad they got this epic scene in the game. To whomever else loves their work, please support them by buying their music!

CAN WE TALK ABOUT how perfectly in the game to stretch out you walking through the environment, they made such GREAT SATISFYING loops of the guitar playing between the singing bits??? the progressing chords and guitar making each step more anticipated, matching the way you as a viewer don't know what to expect, but being SO thrilled by such an unexpected musical bit? The part from 0:27 to you opening the door at at 1:00 is one of the most satisfying buildups i've ever experienced!!! AND THE PEOPLE SHOWING YOU WHERE TO GO IS SUCH AN INSANELY NICE DETAIL???? This is an incredible game and I hope it gets all the awards and recognition it deserves because you can just feel how much love and passion went into this!!
Dude, this game just keeps getting better and better. I'm near the end of this musical part and the 13 year wait was absolutely worth it! Everything about the game is just masterfully crafted.
The fact that David Harewood said he had never sang before this and then goes and serves these vocals really shows true talent! He's the perfect casting choice :D
I have a feeling this came later in the game at some point, because the lyrics kind of sum up the whole package. Perhaps Remedy moved it earlier so it wouldn't tread on Saga's own POTF moment? Either way, my gaming highlight of at least this year. Absolutely spellbinding design, especially in how it will just riff while you piss around and then catch the bar to progress the game/song forward. Looking forward to hearing the studio version when Old Gods Of Asgard release their new album.
I’m 17 hours in and I can legitimately say this is top 3 maybe even too 2 games I’ve ever played. Every mission feels fresh. What a damn job by remedy! Like they said go buy it!
i just played this chapter an immediately had to look it up on youtube. this game is straight up legend. definitely my favorite part in the game so far. yet another banger soundtrack.
This game has upped the bar on what video games/entertainment can be. The world building, story telling and game design is second to none, and this level in particular just blew it out the park. 10/10. Absolutely fantastic
Back in 2003, while playing Max Payne 2, I was thrilled to learn that Markus 'Captain' Kaarlonen was on the band that played 'Late Goodbye'. Having been in love with tracked music since the mid 90s, and still living on a healthy does of Unreal 98's and Deus Ex's umx files played off of Modplug Player, I'm filled with such warmth by the Remedy games with POTF music so intricately integrated! And I haven't even talked about how good POTF music is, going all the way back to Captain's mod music! The only thing that tops this magic is coming full circle of sorts: from being a teenager loving the games and music myself to seeing my teenage kids picking up Alan Wake 1 and loving it + POTF music!
And they say gaming isn’t good anymore. This was like one of the coolest craziest parts of a game i seen. Very unique and different than most games. Alen wake 2 has to get game of the year
I just played this and I'm searching for everyone who had played this. Ashtray Maze was tough to top but man they went absolutely bonkers with this❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This game is a must play! 10/10 from me. So good.

11:23 I love this part so much, It's such a clever little idea to show off those visuals and then have actual taken attack Alan
The dance sequence HAS to be inspired by the Peacemaker intro! Goddamn fantastic!
LAST OF US 2 IS BETTER

Saga : where have you been for the thirteen years Mr.Wake?
Alan : Just chiling and dancing
Still remember oceanview motel where doctor darling sing in on of the motel room 🤣🤣 this is excatly the same
dynamite!
One of the single best sequences of any game I’ve ever played in my 40 years
Honestly. One of the best and most creative sequences in history of aaa gaming
Holy shit, how the chorus foreshadows the story is fucking crazy...
I have a feeling this came later in the game at some point, because the lyrics kind of sum up the whole package. Perhaps Remedy moved it earlier so it wouldn't tread on Saga's own POTF moment? Either way, my gaming highlight of at least this year. Absolutely spellbinding design, especially in how it will just riff while you piss around and then catch the bar to progress the game/song forward. Looking forward to hearing the studio version when Old Gods Of Asgard release their new album.
I play games since... idk 2000... this was one of the best game levels of all time... loved every second
Same thought, great addition to Wolfenstein 2, Snake Eater, Arkham Asylum and the others :)
The moment I realised by reading comments this is a actual mission in the game man I wasn’t gonna play Alan wake 2 but this shit looks godlike
Go buy it man. It's incredible. This mission barely scratches the surface of the insanity that happens.
You can't miss this outstanding game, it will be a crime man 😁
I’m 17 hours in and I can legitimately say this is top 3 maybe even too 2 games I’ve ever played. Every mission feels fresh. What a damn job by remedy! Like they said go buy it!
I hate people like you. "I wasn't gonna play, but". Screw you. You're a poser. You don't deserve this game.
Piggybacking to say this gets my GotY, even after having purchased and completed TotK, Spider-Man 2, BG3, etc…
Survival horror fucks
Hahaha this was so freaking crazy! I loved it! Love my Poets of The Fall and their alter-ego!

THANK YOU Remedy and Poets of the fall for co-existing ❤❤️
i just played this chapter an immediately had to look it up on youtube. this game is straight up legend. definitely my favorite part in the game so far. yet another banger soundtrack.
It was simply divine right there too 10/10
There was no need to spend all this time money and effort for a musical but the fact they did is proof we can have good things
This game has upped the bar on what video games/entertainment can be. The world building, story telling and game design is second to none, and this level in particular just blew it out the park. 10/10. Absolutely fantastic
How many times have you listened to this ?
Me “yes”
No what's impressive is those fucking reflections. How'd they get a live action reflection on an animated surface

Back in 2003, while playing Max Payne 2, I was thrilled to learn that Markus 'Captain' Kaarlonen was on the band that played 'Late Goodbye'. Having been in love with tracked music since the mid 90s, and still living on a healthy does of Unreal 98's and Deus Ex's umx files played off of Modplug Player, I'm filled with such warmth by the Remedy games with POTF music so intricately integrated! And I haven't even talked about how good POTF music is, going all the way back to Captain's mod music! The only thing that tops this magic is coming full circle of sorts: from being a teenager loving the games and music myself to seeing my teenage kids picking up Alan Wake 1 and loving it + POTF music!
Just experienced this and had to come online to watch it again lol. Definitely one of the wildest gaming moments I ever experienced. Loved it.
Rest in peace Mr. James McCaffrey 1959 - 2023
Im so glad Poets of the Fall are finally getting the recognition they deserve!!
One of the most unique sequences in a game, I just played the part today and it’s easily my favorite gaming moment of the year hahahaha, just amazing
Now this is Art.
Kudos/Kiitos Remedy Entertainment!
And they say gaming isn’t good anymore. This was like one of the coolest craziest parts of a game i seen. Very unique and different than most games. Alen wake 2 has to get game of the year
This was such a mind trip that I couldn't but burst into laughter cause of it
This is when ppl really enjoy making the game!
I just played this and I'm searching for everyone who had played this. Ashtray Maze was tough to top but man they went absolutely bonkers with this❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
I had no idea about Alan Wake until I came across the song. Now I’m gonna play both along with Control
This game is absolutely phenomenal. Enjoying every second playing.
I fking love musical parts of remedy games
This is when I knew it was game of the year for me.
