Altered World Events are a type of phenomena in Control
The Bright Falls incident was an AWE. Control is a stealth sequel to Alan Wake
This is almost assuredly the case.Yes, people who played it are aware, but putting the Alan Wake artwork in the actual letters, and two of the letters easily spelling Alan Wake, I think this is Remedy being fluky teases and we're about to learn a double meaning.
See like... Normally spoilers can hurt people but man this actually makes me want to pick up Control now. I was only a bit interested but now I'm fully on board. I loved Alan Wake so much and sad we never got a sequel.
Also in Quantum Break there was the Bureau of Altered World Events mentioned.
Yeah Quantum Break had one of those as well. I'd be super surprised if we got another Alan Wake from Control.The game honestly has far too many references to alan wake for them to be just easter eggs so...
What??? I never found this!I'm going to Spoiler this regarding Alan Wake and Control so read at your own peril...
This isn't just some coy "Oh, yeah, they reference Alan Wake in the game!" thing. Like, Alan Wake THE CHARACTER is in Control, you get a Hotline-sequel vision of him typing a manuscript where the he also speaks as he's typing it. It's hidden in The Panopticon. It's created a rumour that Control is a story Alan is writing to free himself somehow
Is AWE what I think it is lol? Like, literally Alan Wake Expansion?
This is me using the thread to tell people to not sleep on Quantum Break if they like Control. It's surely even more interesting after having played Control as well.
Not really..Did the most recent patch fix the performance on Base PS4? I want to jump in really badly!

Beaten.Looks like this game is building up to a Complete Edition in next gen.

I wouldn't take it as anything more than they have a couple of actors that they like to consistently work with. They'll probably use it to do something fun though.Yeah, that was huge, no doubt about the connection. Kind of odd too asMatthew Poretta voices/plays both Dr. Darling and Alan Wake very obviously, and you could make a stretch of Thomas Zane and Zachariah Trench playing very similar roles and both played by James McCaffery as well, so maybe there is something to that rumor. Or maybe it's just casting and that's as far as that goes.
Just got goosebumps reading that.
