Alan Wake 2's Gruesome Live-Action Game Over Screens Add Horror to Survival Genre
-
Remedy used experience from Control and Quantum Break to create Alan Wake 2's live-action game over screen.
-
The team did multiple takes, adding more blood each time, to get the right level of horror.
-
Blending the footage into the game diminished the effect, so they went with full screen "horror flashes."
-
Actor Ilka Villi kept "dying" in different ways to build a library of disturbing game over content.
-
The game over screen reinforces Alan's endless nightmare and brings more horror to the survival genre.
