Microsoft released a teaser video for the new Alan Wake XBLA title that will be shown during the VGAs.
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
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.
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
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.
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? 🙄
Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.
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.
Alan Wake 2 continues the writer's story, 13 years later.
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.
I'm so glad we're getting another Alan Wake game. Teaser is pretty eerie.
Microsoft did not release this. Community Manager of Remedy, SideTwo (AKA Peter Papadopoulos) released it.
Please get it right. I was reading his tweets when he asked if people wanted a teaser, and then he released one.
ALAN WAKE!! All I need to see now is a new Shadow Complex.
...
Cannot wait, hopefully this is just the in between story for the true Alan Wake sequel.
The full sequel will probably come out on the next Xbox, but I bet Microsoft is gauging how successful this is going to be, my money would be on that if it is successful in the tiniest way, they will buy Remedy outright.
Microsoft seems to be in a creative mood lately, hiring more people at Rare, buying Twisted Pixel and opening 4 new studios this year alone.
I don't think they will risk losing out on what Remedy has to offer. Although it's in no danger of going anywhere since Microsoft has an exclusive contract for 3 full Alan Wake titles.
