I will

 

[LordCBH]

Did they announce a price? Not paying above $70.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Gonna add some tags here and my reply from last year.

I still think they'll be doing a physical release in a year or so after they ship all the planned DLC.

Maybe you guys are still interested in picking up AW2 now that they've announced they'll be doing a physical release. ^^

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Well now the game will sell gangbusters.

Actually nvm. I see some new details so I'll update the OP lol.

Well looks like I can rent it now. Sweet.

 

[Metnut]

I will preorder and buy it now.

 

[xrnzaaas]

That's good news, but it's going to release without The Lake House on disc, right? I don't see them finishing both expansions in the upcoming months.

 

[adamsapple]

The blurb says it includes both. Plenty of time between now and November to release the second DLC. Likely it will be out at or before the games first anniversary in October.

Yup. Was waiting for this. Finally they gave us this.

Nope. The pro needs to fix the game on console.

 

[Diddy X]

More plastic trash.

The game is fine on Xbox, it's fine on PS5 too if you're using Quality mode.

Game looks like ass compared to the PC version. What kind of shit do you want to tell me?

I hope the Pro patch brings it equal to PC for you. And then you buy the game.

You seem to expect way to much from a $500 box

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

You seem to expect way to much from a $500 box

That's why I wrote a comment that the pro will fix the issues.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Did they say when they are starting refunds?

Asking for a friend...

 

[ZoukGalaxy]

Now, we can talk.

 

[Skifi28]

What's with you and putting things in mouths? Keep your fetishes for yourself please, we don't want to know about apples, balls, money or anything else you like to keep in there.

I will. Too bad it's not a double package with AW remastered on disc too, but fine can't win em all.

....maybe.

We'll see about that price and then make a choice on it.

Blame themselves for being dumb lol

They fucked around, they found out. Games cost way too much money to fucking make, to literally remove an option to purchase and then act shocked when they get less sales lol

What's with you and putting things in mouths? Keep your fetishes for yourself please, we don't want to know about apples, balls, money or anything else you like to keep in there.

lol yea I agree.

Just cause we didn't buy it at launch cause they didn't have a physical version, doesn't mean put it on physical is a day 1 for all of us. Apple needs to consider the following, that day 1 choice to purchase is also subject to reviews, which means now that many have gotten to see the reception of the game, reviews, online footage, it means those that MAY HAVE bought it day on disk, may not seek to buy it at all regardless of method of purchase.

It means they may have lost a sale for life. So I don't think this will sell 100% the difference of those who wanted it on disk. Those of us who wanted it day 1, had zero idea of what the final game would be.

So once that hype is gone, your sales will suffer too post launch as WHAT the game is, is already known, talked about and reviewed and that will be factored by the time that physical version released. Unknown hype is still a selling factor.

Blame themselves for being dumbasses regarding this.

Limited distribution methods, limited sales.

 

[StereoVsn]

Wait, is there an actual physical version of the game inside?

“Alan Wake Remastered Digital Edition (as a code in the box).”.

 

[TidusYuna]

I will

me too. I support physical.

 

[Wolfpact1983]

Good news.

I bought it day 1 but if I can get my hands on a physical release I'll buy it again. Great news!

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Glad there will be a physical edition, will pick it up when it's much cheaper though. No way I'm paying $80.

 

[Valedix]

Great, the gaffers who complained about not picking it up cause of this can put their money where their mouth is, now.

Not the deluxe edition at least being from LRG. But glad to see it's finally getting a physical release.

 

[Moses85]

Glad i waited

 

[existensmaximum]

Great, the gaffers who complained about not picking it up cause of this can put their money where their mouth is, now.

I will, for sure! Finally!

 

[makaveli60]

Shame that they didn’t release it like this. I have it digitally plus the dlcs so I don’t plan buying ig but I would have never chosen digital if physical was available.

Definitely. Saw it live yesterday and was delighted with the announcement.
It was worth the wait

Recently had the same thought

Hopefully there will be a physical complete edition in a few months

 

[Xtib81]

Great. Add a patch for ps5 pro and I'll be there remedy.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

 

[Shake Your Rump]

I clicked the post thinking. “Hah, this is probably just hints of a PS5 release”, but I see that is actually the case. Sony saving the day again. This would never be on disc if it was PC/Xbox exclusive.

 

[Flyingpanther]

Hopefully also later a steam release (will probably not happen).

 

[StereoVsn]

So is the physical disk in the actual box or is it just Digital Deluxe Edition code? If it’s just the code then the whole thing is pointless.

“Alan Wake Remastered Digital Edition (as a code in the box).”

I wouldn’t get too excited about the “physical” version until that’s clarified.

It's Limited Run Games. There's good reasons to dislike them but regardless, everything they release is on physical media so it will definitely not just be a code.

Oh I guess the digital deluxe version will be just a code for original Alan Wake remastered. So Alan Wake II will be on disc but not the first game that was remastered.

 

[Sleepwalker]

I understood it as Alan Wake 2 will be on a disc and you'll get a code for the first game on top.

Yes, that's what it looks like.

Same for PS5

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Pre-orders for the CE from LRG are up.



Here's the box art from up close:

Ahh, that’s good then. I would wait for the copies to get released first though so it can be verified.

Same for PS5

It’s a collector’s edition though so could be different (unlikely). It is probably the first game then that’s not on disk. For an expensive collector’s edition that’s a bummer though.

I've snagged my AW1 copy for PS5 a while ago, but just looked it up and you can still find both used and new copies of the first game on ebay albeit they're getting a bit pricey.

Yep, but it’s annoying to find the digital version in $80 + tax retail copy of a game that released months ago.
