[seamusfan18]

Alan wake must hate jackie from the darkness

[largecouchpotato]

@xCrispyChipz

Alan Wake: American Nightmare.

[xCrispyChipz]

Great game and great soundtrack but I'm just wondering if they are going to make another one..

[SonNoir]

I google'd "I just want to listen to an awesome song" and this was the first hit.

[transemogirlmeike]

On this Game match all, the Music, Story, Graphics. One of the best Games out there

[SummeryZeus]

the witch dislike the video

[TheBiggamer64]

SUCH A GOOD FREAKING GAME.

[ImMadiKnow]

1 person was the lady "where in the lake she drowned"

[death0the0kid969]

sa ses un jeux c du lourd jle recommence tt le temps

[death0the0kid969]

[hole2score]

I don`t have Alan Wake or Xbox 360, I watched a playthrough by DSPgaming and found this song... it`s amazing.

[TheShepard2011]

omg this song is just beautiful

[browniegang]

LOL you cant even see the dislike bar

[TheBiggamer64]

Thats a really good song. I can't put this game down...its so good.

[MeurglysIV]

PC version please, i want Alan Wake's and Heavy Rain's PC version so bad. Amazing song.

[RebRiddle]

This game is a work of Art. Just wonderful.

[banditblade4]

@RebRiddle Indeed.

[wizardbaker]

This video got one dislike...damn Dark Presence

[Fang5290]

Do they sell the soundtrack, with songs like this? Not just the instrumental version that comes with the limited edition of the game.

[Rifer0]

@Fang5290 This is from that soundtrack actually.

[Fang5290]

@Rifer0 really? i looked for the soundtrack on amazon and the previews for the songs only showed me instrumental music from the game.

[Rifer0]

@Fang5290 Soundtrack from the limited edtion is different from the one you found, I guess. Can't say if you can find that one... ebay maybe. Though the LE soundtrack doesn't have all the songs, only some.

[soulshotzone]

I think this relates to the story berry tells of the lovers at cauldrin lake who died. Berry tells it at the trailer park.

[ProducShuns]

Alan wake has such a good soundtrack, when i first heard this song on the game it was like FUCK YEAHHHHHHHH FIND THE WITCHES' CABIN KEY, BRING IT TAKEN BITCHES HNNNNNNNGHHHH

[HAPPYDOG4434]

1 person has no soul......And is a taken

[Gabrilibbra]

I LOVE YOU ALAN!!!! *.*

[BatmanUpdate]

Find the lady of the light

[rasp103]

This game is masterpiece. With Heavy Rain they are best games i have played in 2010...

[bangicame]

only video without any thumbs down!!!!!!! =) alan wake rocks!!!!

[ironjoker101]

Hehe. Wouldn't want to be a PS3 fanboy with this timeless classic in existence.

[ivydagamer4life]

as you will read the lyrics or listen to it (in nightmare mode as you're about to complete the manuscripts of that mode, u will fine the lyrics of the poet and the muse that pretty much explains everything including thomas zane and barbara jagger

[MetallicA2010Live]

my favourite game right now beaten already 3 times and still not boring at all

[killoger]

so who owns the copyright to this song poets of the fall or the guys who made the game?

[Rifer0]

@killoger Both, I guess.

[ReReShow80]

@killoger I would guess to say that Remedy has the rights to use Poets of the Fall music in their games while the band makes a royalty off of them. Remedy and POTF still hold the creative rights to their works respectively.

[Naxus2]

@killoger I'm sure remedy entertainment does, but since poets of the fall have wrotten numerous songs for their games it probably wouldn't matter.

[Naxus2]

@killoger LOL no wait Old Gods of Asguard has the rights to it.

[hillbilly635]

@killoger Well, this is really late, and you probably have an answer or two. But, Poets of the Fall own the copyrights, they let Alan Wake use it though ^^

[killoger]

@hillbilly635 but would have Stephen King made the song for the story?

[hillbilly635]

@killoger I can't really explain copyright laws fully, but it's like you own something, and you can select who can use it freely. While the people who use it don't really got a say in what else it's used it, they do get the right to use it.

[monkeywithissues]

Alan Wake is one of those games that we get ever 10 years or so the last was bioshock then wake it really makes you wounder could possible fallow such good horror games like this dead space is jump scares with loads of blood its good to see you don't needs blood and huge amounts of sc-fi action to have a awesome horror game

[Erigoin]

aint that the singer from poets of the fall? he sounds similar

[Rifer0]

@Erigoin Did you read the description?

[Erigoin]

@Rifer0 no i didnt

[matthewtorres1991]

@fuckgod666forlife in dreams by roy orbison :D

[Rifer0]

@matthewtorres1991 F*ck xD

[Rifer0]

@fuckgod666forlife Is it "Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - Up Jumped the Devil" ? I'm not sure tho, can't remember on 100% I played it a long time ago.

[Drillur]

0 dislikes. That's because this song is flawless

[kabutoottonin]

I've honestly never heard of the game, but the song is awesome

*loves poets of the fall*

[Tranceplant82]

Such a great song! Wow! :)

Also a great game too, lol!

[ashrafvai]

This game leaves a mark in the heart. I still feel the story in deep of my heart.

[meandhim4u]

the story of this game is just bonerific

[chicoritango]

I love how this song kinda... tells so much in game context, but is just as beautiful without it.

[wandereragro]

Is it just me or can anyone else visualise Jack Black being Jack Black to this song. You know with all his "dance moves" and "rock motifs"?

[stealthpancakes]

Haha Alan awake < Heavy Rain

[Rifer0]

@stealthpancakes Yeah... you can really compare the two

[danerogil]

@stealthpancakes Lol, you're a troll, a faggot and a ps3 fanboy. Sorry for stating the obvious.

[jajabin123]

lady of the light cynnthia weaver

[TheQuickdraw94]

I dont know whats up with this Euros business... i got mine for 45 dollars :)

[carlow92]

My love for Alan Wake is as big as a lake, no it's not a lake, it's an ocean.

[kilroyxx]

@carlow92 ironically,a lake is involved

[HDPlayBackz]

@kilroyxx Are you kidding?? he was making a joke about the end of the game...

[PhoenixInLove]

@carlow92 haha Very well done... i see what you did there XD

[hancock6710]

@carlow92 lol nice quote play

[willshireman]

@carlow92

Indeed my friend , let us hope they continue this great game carefully and just...

[TheYUNGREDD1989]

just finished this game 2 hours ago n this is by far my favorite song on the soundtrack

[rexikluk]

Hey i have a joke to tell...

There were two alans , Alan wake and Alan just Alan in a room , the Alice comes and says .... ALAN WAKE.

And Alan Wake says , yeah whats up? the Alice says , UP .... oh sorry honey i was talking to the other Alan that hasnt woken up.

LOL

[xB4LL50F5T33Lx]

@rexikluk That was one of the shittiest jokes I've ever heard.

[666wowfreak]

i started to love light more and more while i was playing Alan wake... Its a game that makes you think although its fictional.

[zsolexisz]

Best game on box...It's not an epic Whoa game, this is a beautiful game in everu cause.Alan Wake is not a Lake is an Ocean...

[Isellmysoulforbeer]

kann mir bitte einer sagen wie die ganze sache ausgeht ich verstehe das ende des spiels einfach net ?=/

[arkangle100]

love it sooooon much



[ZackNeville02]

In the game, when Maine plays "war" by poets if the fall he notes that it is somthing that the old gods of asgard would like. Hinting they are the same people

[ZackNeville02]

@ZackNeville02

No wait. He says that they remind him of Old gods. I said it wrong

[063099]

to be honest the ending was as bad as halo 2 i mean u play a long story just 4 that line "its not a lake, its an ocean" but i cant wait till "the signal" comes out

[Smee07]

@063099 To be fair the beginning of the game foreshadows the end when Wake is narrating and quoting Steven King; something along the line's of "the best horror is the one that is unanswered, it's the one that stays with you the longest." It pretty much tells you there's gonna be no ending conclusion right from the off!

[obzoosed]

Great game, should have been longer, thats proberly my only fault

[hylkehaagsma]

Damn you Barbara...

[Yorda27]

I picked up the limited collectors edition yesterday for 64.95 eur, cheap for such a nice box. Love the book and extras and the shape of the box itself. Those who own it know what I mean.

Completed "episode 1" of the game. Great game! Glad I own an Xbox360.

[Rifer0]

@Yorda27 HOW MUCH? I bought it for 35 euros.

[Yorda27]

@Rifer0 The big box with the Alan Wake game, book, bonus disc, etc? Then you did an amazing deal there. I live in Belgium and here non of the versions drops below 60 euro.

[Rifer0]

@Yorda27 Actually this was a BIG excpeption. In every sho in here (Czech republic) they did this price-cut that limited edition was cheaper than normal version. Normal price for normal version here is 50-60 euro too.

[briggerz]

@Rifer0 HOW MUCH? i bought it for 24 euros

[Rifer0]

@briggerz And? Did you buy it on realease date ?

[IMABOMBERMAN]

@Yorda27

yep got it too for 53 euro =)

its really really awesome the soundtrack is awesome the book is awesome and theres a lot of interesting stuff in the bonus disc like the making of^^ but i like the box itself he most =)

[residentrage001]

One of my favorite song after playing alan wake! you should too! :D

[RabiaB]

The images really look great (I love how they work with light and shades) and the music is beautiful. I wouldn't have recognized it as Poets of the Fall though it sounds a bit like them, but I'll take your word for it.

[SolidClay]

Man, this game has a SURPRISINGLY *AMAZING* soundtrack. Huge props to Remedy!

[TranceForEverForever]

Good Song, Good Game, Beatiful Story.

[ultraDO85]

great game and great soundtrack

[AGPKingTroll]

I dig this tune it's old folk style Alan wake was a good game not very scary more creepy.

[SevereRepugnance]

Just beat this game literally 5 minutes ago. Amazing. One of this year's best. And this song rules

[Blackbird253]

My bff and my can play halo

in live i can play gears

and in home with 3 friend i can play left for dead

but anyone of those can make me thing like a crazy man but well to undetand the crazy you should be crazy

Best game of the year

[BlackMinisters]

"its not a lake, its an ocean." Those lines opened up the possibility for a sequel.

it doesn't take a master mind to figure out what he was saying.

[Rifer0]

@BlackMinisters Well, Sherlock, of course it will get a sequel (mabye in form of DLC), but it had deeper meaning than that.

[joarX]

@Rifer0 Three DLC's were already announced, Sherlock, and yes, there will also be Alan Wake 2.

[Rifer0]

@joarX Actually 2 were, third is a speculation. DLC was also mentioned as som ewhat "season 2" so it should probably close Alan's Story. And that sentence meant something different than "there will be a sequel". How can you think that it means "to be continued", well, of course it does, but it also MEANS something. Good God...

[joarX]

@Rifer0 Another line for you to find a meaning in - "Alan Wake's journey through the night will continue.."

Come on, you can't be that dumb.

[Rifer0]

@joarX This line actually says exactly "There will be a sequel" but "It's not a lake, it's an ocean"? And you call ME dumb?

[joarX]

@Rifer0 Okay, I'm sorry about calling you dumb, I really am. But I undestand it like this: the entire Alan Wake game with all its season is the lake. Saying that it's not a lake, it's an ocean means it's just one of the many pieces of the puzzle. They're practically telling us: just you wait, there will be much more of this franchise to come.

[Rifer0]

@joarX Okay, now that's a good way of telling it. And i can't totally agree. The Lake is actually the source of all evil (which you can see at the very end) and someone here also said that it's one of the deepest lakes. Which I think has something to do with that line. And enough with that insults, just don't be that offensive next time. If I said something bad too, sorry.

[hokipoki93]

@Rifer0 spoiler!!!!!! theres just one problem: i dont know where the darkness comes from. did tom zane wake it up or did he create it or was it already there. and does the lake have this magical power or the darkness?

[InvaderDeath9000]

@joarX Oh, that is awesome!

:D

[lleial]

in my opinion its a ocean not a lake means that the darkness isnt that limitid its much bigger that wath her destroyed.

[lastsilentwolf]

ok i think i finally get what my friend told me about this song. I don't know if im right so if im not can someone please tell me what it is. Ok so he said since the anderson brothers sing this that this is when they came into contact with the dark presence and zane and zane wrote the lyrics for alan later to find the song to figure out what to do (which is the part with the witch's cabin key and that) and the rest is just what happened to zane and somewhat also alan, right? if im wrong tell me.

[Rifer0]

@lastsilentwolf Uhm, did you complete the game? It's actually explained there. This song "plays" kind a big part of the story :-) .

[sunderland2341]

one of the best games i ever played in my life, go xbox 360!!!!

[ClassicKittys]

ok i beat alan wake could some please tell me what the hell alan was talkinf about when he said "it wasnt a lake it was an ocean" ??????

[Rifer0]

@ClassicKittys Actually we were solving the ending a few comments back. NO ONE gets it...

[seanymo90]

@Rifer0 when he says "Its Not A Lake, Its An Ocean" i think he means he'd only just scratched the surface and as for writing your own death so alice could live was genius even though she'd be with the "doppelganger" instead of the real you.

[tundor1]

@ClassicKittys

Somewhere in Episode 2 you find a sign where's wrote that Cauldron Lake is the 8th deepest Lake of the World. Because it's so deep, it's like a ocean. I think.

[frasmo]

very nice..

Poet of the fall also in Max Payne.

[doog99]

Poets of the fall do it again :D

[killingzoo123]

i love the music, i love the game play, i love the atmosphere and i love the characters this game and this song is FRICKEN AWSOME!!!!!!!

[giftasp]

This song is fuckin EPIC.

[btheking4]

I've played the whole game and I think it wasn't the gameplay isn't what impacts the player as it is very repetitive; but the story. I liked the way it was made as though it was an episodic movie and a few of the songs were the best I've ever heard such as this one. Probably the best game around at the moment.

[Juusperi]

Poets Of The Fall... ;)

[EngelVerloren]

Man loved everything in Alan Wake haha.. soundtrack was enough to make me nervous and this song is just.. so wonderful.. can't wait for Alan Wake 2.

[knightsurda]

i guess the end is left up to self interpretation

*****SPOILER******

i believe that he was the author who died in the 70's :/ and she was calling him to finish what he started. He never really finished the story just set it up for it to never end. that Nightingale and sarah and barry were all fictional characters written by said author in the story he wrote and Alan just finished said authors story >.> could be wrong but meh..left to interpretation

[Rifer0]

@knightsurda SPOILERS Interesting theories here. Everything could be true. I think, that Alan just let it to continue. Leaving Nightingale as "darkness" and Rose is lady of the light. Interesting part is with Mr. Scratch, is he really in the real world? Maybe. It's not a lake, it's an ocean is a BIG mystery, maybe he meant, that the darkness is much bigger now? Oh, well, theories over theories :-D

[bullwes93]

@Rifer0 I dont think that Rose could be the lady of the light because she had shadows in her eyes...

[Rifer0]

@bullwes93 That is true. But she was holding a lantern and was tanding in bright daylight at the end...so... I guess that could be it. BUT of course, it could be the other way, just like you say.

[Hollister67Baby]

Last comment continued:

And Mr.Scratch which Zane introduces in the last episode is the Alan that is in the real world with Alice hence the "Alan Wake up" part. Zane clearly says "This is Mr.Scratch, don't worry your friends will meet him when your gone" I think Alan is under the lake writing and using Mr.Scratch to act as him in the real world by writing it in the story. what do you all think?

[Hollister67Baby]

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!

|

|

|

|

|

My theory of the ending is that Nightingale is trapped in the darkness and Rose is the new lamp lady because if you remember when they get to the well lit room the lamp lady tells Wake to take the clicker so she didn't have to guard it anymore. I think Alan is trapped at the bottom o the lake continuing to write the story because he says he cannot just wish Alice alive he would have to give something up. I think he sacrificed himself to stay down and write....

[linvik1]

God, this is magical. Just magical.

[orbasman]

this game seriously blew my mind.. its just that good

[darthdany1]

amazing.

best alan wake soundtrack

[sunderland2341]

one of the best fuckin games i ever play ,xbox 360 rocksss!!!!

[asojax]

if you paid attention to the opening narration where he talks about a quote from stephen king, to the effect of sometimes the best stories are left unanswered. From the outset it seems like the writer of alan wake wanted the ending to be left openend and allow people to come to there own conlcusions...I for one believe that he traded places with his wife and is now in the darkness as the light.

[TheRebecaMartins]

Somebody know what's the music in the end of Chapter 2????

[darkfall19]

i have a ps3, but games like alan wake make me wish i had a 360 too

[Rifer0]

@darkfall19 Yup, this is the only game that made me glad that I have 360 :-) . I have ps3 too and it's overall better

[lunarrising12]

@darkfall19 I agree with you. If this game was a PS3 exclusive it would have been received so much better.

All Xbox owners can appreciate are online first person shooters, so when they play a game such as this, they just don't get it. No it's not perfect, but I still think it's one of the best games I've ever played.

Hopefully MS will lose interest and Remedy will find a new publisher to put out any future games.

[xxTonyzPlacexx]

@darkfall19 i have a 360 and this game is awesome bro, but the ps3 has some amazing exclusives too that make me want a ps3 ;)

[slappy0908]

i didint really understand the ending of the game. can somone explain plz?

[Rifer0]

@slappy0908 I believe nobody understood it completely... At least no one around me. There are many theories and each one could be true. It's best to wait for DLC, it should explain everything.

[TVImasterminimoni]

@Rifer0

or maybe is needed end it on nightmare mode ,, i end just now in normal mode ^^U

[Rifer0]

@TVImasterminimoni I finished it on nightmare almost a weak ago with no difference in the end.

[TVImasterminimoni]

@Rifer0 yep i'm checking out in some places... the histori is awesome, but i think it was be another part of ending at nightmare mode.

something like Alan Waking up at the side of her wife,, or something like

thanks for your answer ^^

[Nogert]

@slappy0908 SPOILERZZ I think the darkness is still alive and using the diner lady and the FBI agent as it's host.

There is the obvious theory that he's asleep, in a coma etc hence the 'wake up' but that would be dumb and predictable.

[TheDarkestdays33]

the opening riff sound a lot like the carnival of rust

[mightyjoelaith]

Loved this game, love this song, lookin' forward to the DLC.

[Alexander25021991]

great song of a great game

[Rifer0]

@kalasM2 It wasn't a cop, but reporter ...I think. He's definetly not a cop thoug. But he wrote about FBI agent Nightingale mainly. His name is Clay Steward. But this crossed my mind too. We can only guess.

[1160200692]

Is this Marko from Poets of the Fall?????

[Rifer0]

@1160200692 Actually yeah. They're fictional band "Old Gods of Asgard" in the game, but they are Poets of the Fall.

[Rifer0]

@kalasM2 I know, I actually know quite a lot. There won't be only one DLC. The first one (coming out as you said) will actually present a different perspective on the events from AW. So another character maybe? And AW is supposed to be two seasoned via DLC.

[LokschuppenLoh]

Best song of the game :) I love it!

[Akavir16]

The ending of Alan Wake is kinda sad and mysterious... A great ending!

[Rifer0]

@Akavir16 It is, though I didn't completely understand it... But some DLC will come eventually, maybe that will explain more .

[GrandChamp1989]

Best song from the soundtrack IMO.

[emiliano105]

I have finished this game yesterday and at the end i said " WOW" is fucking amazing. one of the mosto beautiful game i've ever played <3

[Pesoholichar1989]

Great soundtrack in this game.Mind uploading the rest?

Loved the game because Remedy made it-has the Max Payne vibe.

This song is kind of a spoiler though,for ppl that haven't finished it.

[Rifer0]

@Pesoholichar1989 I could yeah, but I wanted to upload this in particular, because I just fell in love with it. Though you can see the rest of the soundtrack on the right ;-) . And sorry I'm responding now, i didn't notice this comment :-(

[painey86]

great soundtrack, shame the game is a bit of a let down.

[ShizzleCrizzle]

@painey86 What? I think the game is awesome.

[Rifer0]

@ShizzleCrizzle Same here, I completed it yesterday and it was a great experience overall. One of the best games this year for me.

[ShizzleCrizzle]

@Rifer0 Yeah, I just got it yesterday and I only finished episode 1. But so far so awesome! Too bad I got exams and I can't play for like 2 weeks...

[FunkMasterTobi]

@Rifer0 One of the best games on XBox 360...After Halo 3 maybe

[Rifer0]

@FunkMasterTobi Well, you don't want to hear my opinion about Halo...you really don't :-D

[FunkMasterTobi]

@Rifer0 okay,okay ^^ forget Halo.But Alan Wake is one of the best Game ever on XBox 360...I hope you join my opinion =)

[Rifer0]

@FunkMasterTobi Of course I do :-) one of the best games this year.

[ReijiNakashi]

@FunkMasterTobi I dont want to raise any polemic here, but I think alan wake has one of the best stories, best soundtracks, the narrative is the BEST i've ever seen in a videogame (even better that drakes fortune) but... the gameplay itself is not great, fight shadows??? fight poltergeizt, like fridges and cars??? nah.... but is just my opinion

[Pesoholichar1989]

@FunkMasterTobi Only Halo 1 is worth something imo.

[ikwal]

Alan Wake has an excellent soundtrack, it fits so perfectly with the themes of the game.

[Rifer0]

@ikwal Indeed. One of the best soundtracks I ever heard. Pure awesomeness.
