    The fact Ilkka said job offers doesn't pop out to him most of the time is just unacceptable. The mainstream tends to sleep on amazing actors, i really hope that the attention AW2 is receiveing may bring him more love.

    Honestly if it ain't either Ilkka or Matt or both as the role of Alan in the AMC series I probably very likely won't watch. At this point nobody is Alan Wake but Ilkka and Matt, I will not take anyone else to play the role but them. Lol. Sorry, but just how I feel. They solidified themselves as Alan, playing the role again and again all these years that someone else playing the role would just be very odd and not right.

Alan Wake 2 was my horror game of the year for 2023, I hope that the DLC and a potential third game can hit those same notes (and I have full faith they will)

    About Sam acting in Alan Wake 2, it reminds me of David Lynch playing Gordon in Twin Peaks. They're not really actors, but they play really important and memorable characters in both projects. With all the inspiration AW takes from Twin Peaks, it makes sense Sam got so involved with the acting too.

    Growing up around Finnish people and parents he definitely has one, but its alot less pronounced then say Sam Lake, who has a very Finnish accent. It really depends if you live in Finland your whole life or are a 2nd/3rd generation Fin living somewhere else

    Alan Wake 2 is a perfect example of what games SHOULD be. Not necessarily the Remedy-type of game, but just how much love was clearly put into the game. Love for the art, no bullshit.

    Its so great to see Alan Wake 2 because when I played Alan Wake 1 I was in my first year at university and it was a very different time. in Moldova, in the world, what kind of computers there were, everything was different) I always wanted Alan Wake 2, but the years go and go, and the whole world changes, and my life, and when I bought and played part 2 and saw it.. .it was like meeting an old friend) when I played AWE and saw Alan's shadow I got goosebumps, but playing the second part is so cool) I want to say thank you to Sam Lake, Ilkka, Matt and the whole Remedy team ! sorry for my english if anything)

I mean, idk, they don't have to and it's always engaging and respectful. To me it comes off and being really grounded and humble to interview outside the high tier media scene. So nice to hear Ikka's answers, congrats on the success, he deserves so much more!

    I always wondered why the live action vs CG scenes with Alan felt different, delivery-wise. It makes a lot of sense. I'd heard them say that they went back and forth, but I assumed they had done that for live action too. It makes a lot more sense for them to just do Matthew's dubs on top of a straight take with Ilkka's acting. It would be unbelievably demanding to try to do that back and forth with live action - at least double the shooting time, not to mention the time in between for Matthew to read the lines, etc. What I'm referring to is how in some live action scenes (particularly the Talk Show scenes) there is a distinct quality / affectation to Alan's voice, which isn't there in the CG. For the CG scenes, Alan sounds a lot more like he did in the first game, but with the live action it's apparent that Matthew is focusing on matching the vocal delivery to the live action performance - focusing more on making sure it fits. It's fascinating how they managed to pull this game off, especially with both Ilkka and Matthew playing Alan. Absolutely wild. And it was unreal to see them both performing at the Game Awards!
