During a Dev interview on IGN, Remedy’s Thomas Puha spoke about the issues surrounding development Alan Wake 2 On the S series.

“Series S, CPU is almost the same as the Series

“But the GPU is a problem. It really is. And then, having less memory is a very big problem. We often say: ‘Well, you make PC games, and you sure know how to scale.'” Well, memory is not an issue on a PC “It’s really not. And that’s one of the difficulties when you’re talking about resolution and frame rate. It’s not enough to drop the resolution dramatically. That’s what we do at S and we work hard to make sure that the visual quality still holds up.”

“People accept that on a weaker PC, the visuals won’t be as good and your frame rate won’t be as good. There’s a big difference between Series S and Series “And all that, and every game is different, and every developer is different. But you can’t have the best of both worlds. You have to choose where you’re going to focus.”
