Artists are almost always inspired by other artists, and Remedy's Kyle Rowley, the game director for Alan Wake 2, is no different, saying he wanted the team to be the "European Naughty Dog."
Speaking on the Behind The Voice podcast about his time on Quantum Break, Rowley says "One of my favorite games at the time was Uncharted. I remember having a discussion with our lead animator at the time and I was like, 'I think we should be aiming to be like a European version of Naughty Dog. That would be cool, if we could get that same, like, feel.'"
