    For starters, it turns out that they're not having a good relationship with each other because they think of each other as bad influence to the titular character.
     
    If there's Alan Wake 2, will they get along this time?

    I wouldn't hold my breath for more Alan Wake if I were you. Stranger things have happened, but...

       It takes a while, but after a lil bit of sandwiching, and exchanging of acid rounds for your bazooka, everyone begins to grow towards the hairy fella.

    Hopefully, Barry won't be in the next game if that comes out.

    I think Alan Wake 2 would be where Remedy cuts loose and gets really creative. I highly doubt Alice and Barry will play a major role in the sequel, as from the looks of things it will probably be about Alan trying to escape the Dark Place and return to his world. At the end of The Writer, he's on the path, but he's not there yet.

    I honestly don't think Remedy is just going to let Alan Wake die after one outing. This is something that they're passionate about, and when you're passionate about something, you will find a way to succeed. We've seen it happen many times over.

    I liked Barry so I hope if there is a new game that it he is in but I hope they fix his wifes face because she was creepy looking. I have no idea how the second game would even play out given the ending to the first but I thought Alice liked Barry, no? And speaking of a sequel I hope Remedy make one or at the very least that they do no go out of business.

    While I wish they made a sequel to this highly underappreciated game, I'm going to side with Brad here.

    Chance of AW getting a sequel... I'd say they aren't bad (but not a slam dunk certainly)... Some numbers, pulled at random from the GB Achievement Tracker: 
    Mass Effect - 24,562 players
    Red Dead Redemption - 18,529
    Mass Effect 2 - 18,509
    Borderlands - 16,819
    Alan Wake - 12,591
    Dragon Age: Origins - 10,671
    Enslaved - 4,285

    There's still a chance that Barry is not real...
     
    Then again, the plot layers in AW seemed so desperately random, they can make up anything as they go. Anything can be real or not - which prevents me from caring about anything plot-related in AW or it's unlikable characters. Just give me some more creepy woods/TwinPeaks-atmosphere and I'm good.
