Remedy Entertainment has responded to the worries regarding the demanding PC system requirements of Alan Wake 2, saying it "played real safe" with the settings.
Last week, the studio best known for story-driven action games like Control released the PC specifications for its latest title, which may have caused some fans hoping to play on desktop to worry about how their build might handle the game.
Rightly, this has some PC players wondering if they'll even be able to run the game properly on their setup, especially if their builds lean towards the low to medium range. However, Remedy communications director Thomas Puha has suggested that fans hoping to play on PC shouldn't worry (via PC Gamer).
"We played real safe on those PC settings [by the way]," Puha said on Twitter. "Underpromise, overdeliver, or something Finnish like that."
Although the developer's response may ease some worries, there's still the matter of whether those playing on a low to mid-range build should risk it with minimum requirements, with the hopes that Remedy is simply inflating the specs.
Remedy recently confirmed that the game will receive a New Game Plus mode in a post-launch update that will feature all unlocked weapons and upgrades, a new difficulty level called Nightmare, as well as a "new alternative narrative" which will include new manuscript pages and fresh video content.
