It's no secret that Remedy was inspired by the works of Stephen King, particularly when the original opens with the writer's words. In the most recent episode of The Kingscast, a podcast dedicated to the worlds of Stephen King, Eric Vespe and Scott Wampler is joined by Sam Lake to discuss King's On Writing book, as well as Alan Wake 2.
If you're interested in how and why the prototypes for Alan Wake 2 shifted over the years, how it felt saying goodbye (of sorts) to Max Payne, or hearing about Remedy's Dark Tower-themed video game pitch, make sure to check it out.
The interview lasts seventy minutes and is available right now! Listen to it on Apple Podcasts, HERE!
Episode Description: "Remedy head honcho Sam Lake joins The Kingcast boys to dive into Stephen King's On Writing and also answer some fanboy questions about his own Alan Wake video game series. The sequel is just about to come out and this survival horror game is so clearly inspired by King that it was a no-brainer to get this guy on the show. We talk about Alan Wake, why it took so long to get a sequel, and just how King's writing has influenced this video game series."
