Earlier this week, Remedy Entertainment officially announced that Alan Wake Remastered will be out later this year. While there’s no gameplay trailer available just yet, we have the next best thing, and that’s new Alan Wake Remastered screenshots! Given the new screens, we decided to run a comparison check from the original to the remaster! There’s improved lighting, and other differences that fans will most likely approve of.

The image on the left is an original capture from the PC version using the highest settings and no visual mods. The image on the right is from the newly announced remaster.

As you can see, there are number of improvements such as improved lighting, better textures, draw distance, coloring and more in the remaster. Of course this isn’t as drastic as some may be expecting, but it is a remaster after all.

Game Description via Amazon:

Intense combat, where it takes more than bullets to banish the darkness
Weaken ‘The Taken’ with light before finishing them for good
Use lights in the environment as islands of safety in a world where darkness is deadly
Find manuscript pages from a novel Wake does not remember writing
Travel through a visually stunning and terrifying version of the Pacific Northwest, with newly remastered visual fidelity bringing a classic game to new platforms and players

As you can see, the textures seem to have been given a tweak, as well as the lighting though you’ll be playing the game mostly in darkness, it’s still a step up.
