[Rumor Control] Alan Wake for PS3

The guys over at PSN@Home decided to go about finding the truth to this rumor that was posted on N4G. Their result... "Have not seen this rumor myself thanks for letting me know. No substance to this, Alan Wake is being developed for the 360 and Vista."

Who debunked the rumor? I didn't really see a source or any indication as the the authenticity of the posting. What is Alan Wake by the way?

synce6118d ago

The rumor doesn't even have to be debunked. Microsoft is publishing the game. That means there is exactly 0% chance of it coming to PS3.

Leathersoup6118d ago

Alan Wake is a sort of Action/Survival/Puzzle/Horror game being developed by Remedy (makers of Max Payne & Max Payne2).

FCOLitsjustagame6118d ago (Edited 6118d ago )

is some mysterious game for the 360 thats been in development for a while. Not that I care if it does go cross platform but honestly this article to "debunk" "the rumor that was posted on NG4" is the first time I have ever heard of the rumor of this going to PS3 on NG4. I probably missed it, but I just thought it was amusing. It reminds me of the infomercials where people invent something to solve a problem, that was never a problem until they invented this something that would solve it.

If Alan Wake is 3rd party developer and they can develop it cheap enough on the PS3 that they would make money then they would be foolish not to make it cross platform.

EDIT:
Looks like MS is the publisher. So unless the deal falls through or they have some type of open contract I would assume this 2nd party game would not go cross. (unless MS publishing is happy to make the money on the PS3, which they may be).

Publisher: Microsoft Game Studios
Developer: Remedy Ent.
Genre: Modern Action Adventure
Release Date: TBA

nice name. just wondering who the funny guy in your avatar is? I have been watching sci fi shows and futurama("Marcus Fenix" is funny as hell) lately, and that guy looks like Richard Dean Anderson from Stargate but on second guess I feel I am totally wrong.

ben hates you6118d ago

dang right thats jack, thats the episode where they get in a time loop

its just about the best episode

ShiftyLookingCow6118d ago

yeah the time loop episode was very funny

FCOLitsjustagame6117d ago

Thanks, yep its col Jaok O'Neill (two L's) in the ep Window of Opportunity or what I like to refer to it as the "ground hog day episode". He was on the edge in that scene about to lose it and having to explain that term to teal'c with one excellent explanation.

"Lose it". It means, Go crazy, nuts, insane, bonzo.... No longer in possession of one's faculties. Three fries short of a Happy Meal..... Wacko!! "

I agree MAx Payne 3 would be lovely :)

This rumour should have been quickly killed considering M$ is publishing it, its not going to PS3, simple as that.

LeShin6118d ago

Man, i'm tired of reading all these stupid rumor stories that aren't true and have no foundation. MGS going to the XBox, Gears of War going to the PS3 and now this. Who is approving these stories anyway??
Enough of these rumor stories, I prefer facts.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran820d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto19d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia20d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger20d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie20d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos20d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie20d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh20d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
