New Alan Wake Information-Let The Darkness Shroud

Our favorite insomniac writer has been garnering a lot of attention post his sinfully delightful E3 outing.Here is some latest information that has trickled out of Pelaaja regarding numerous questions that have remained shrouded in the mist that haunts the game and its protagonist.

green5408d ago

I am sure a PC release will follow but not the same month as the 360 version.

TheColbertinator5408d ago

lol Alan Wake was announced as a PC game and the first trailers were PC gameplay.Seriously now Remedy has been developing PC games first then the console counterparts.Remember Max Payne 2?

shocky165408d ago

One of my most anticipated games for 2010.. 5 years in development too.

Can't wait!

TheColbertinator5408d ago

This game has been on my radar for quite some time and recently has moved onto my most-wanted list. The only question for me now is, do I get it for my 360 or my PC?

SaberEdge5408d ago

Nobody cares whether you play it on your 360 or your PC. It is going to be an awesome game either way. I think this is going to be one of the biggest games early next year.

AAA EXCLUSIVE5408d ago

GOTY 2010, Game of the generation am here. In Remedy we trust.

TheColbertinator5408d ago

I disagree with AAA exclusive.GOTY 2010 is Mass Effect 2.In bioware I trust

el zorro5408d ago

I can't wait for Alan Wake, but I agree with the person above me, Mass Effect 2 is going to be even better.

La Chance5408d ago

"The original vision hasn’t changed but the way the game plays out has been experimented with along the development process. One of the major changes is that the game is no longer a sandbox type of game where the player can roam freely (ala Grand Theft Auto)."

Oh well now we know why its been taking them so long, they weren't sure where they wanted to take the game. I think they must have scrapped the game several times.

XDF5408d ago

xbox 360 have plenty of AAA coming in Alan Wake, Mass Effect 2, Crackdown 2, Halo Reach, GeOW2, and many others in 2010.

CWMR5408d ago

-GeOW2? Isn't that already out? ha, ha just messing with you. I'm sure you meant GeOW3 right?-

shocky165408d ago

or maybe it could be Alan Wake
or maybe Halo: Reach
or maybe Gears Of War 3

Wow. I just realised how ****ing awesome 360's 2010 is looking to be..

MEsoJD5408d ago

can't wait to get it on pc!!!

^_^

likedamaster5408d ago

That would actually be a smart thing to do. So far every other game has been doing just that. It helps devs/publishers get the most profit out of the game when its released on console first, then PC. Piracy is rampant among the pc gaming community.

cherrypie5408d ago

Oh the irony. Alan Wake is looking to be another break-out, genre expanding victory exclusive and what do we hear?

"Oh, its taking a long time".
"Their will be a PC release weeks after Xbox 360".

The usual FUD trying to dampen the over-whelming positive buzz Alan Wake has.

One thing is certain: Alan Wake *looks* like it will be a GOTY contender, without a doubt.

The whole game won't be sandbox, HOWEVER it doesn't mean that the levels are linear.

GameOn5408d ago

I still find it a little disappointing.

Xi5408d ago

where there's the open town of bright falls, and you can travel freely during the day, but at night the world is mainly linear, like the e3 demo, where you have mostly a set path.

Gamer_Politics5408d ago

man this game really has my attention....since its from the creators of Max Payne..

ShabzS5408d ago (Edited 5408d ago )

Throughout the game the player will be finding the missing pages from Alan Wakes new manuscript, however not all the pages will be found through the normal game’s missions. Similar to how Bioshock handled it’s audio logs, Alan Wake will allow you to roam freely around looking for manuscript pages.

... interesting

Nelson M5408d ago

Yes it Will !!!
To Cover up the Last Gen Graphics

Just stay in Hibernation Mr Wake and save yourself the Embarrassment of Flopping

Traveler5408d ago

Lay off the crack pipe. The graphics look really good. Just because you are a fan of the PS3 (like I am) doesn't mean you need to deny reality.

The Master Chief5408d ago (Edited 5408d ago )

Nasim = Pwned like a last place Turd

AngryTypingGuy5408d ago

Haha, Nelson's a worthless piece of crap.

Amplitude5408d ago

I cant wait for Alan Wake. It'll actually give me a reason to unhook my PS3s HDMI cable and plug it into the 360... since the component out on the 360 randomly broke.

Still. Alan Wake looks kickass, and is the one game that i will never agree "looks bad". Honestly, the 360 hasn't had a single story-driven game since launch... Literally, there is NOTHING like Heavy Rain, MGS4, Ratchet and Clank Future, etc. Nothing. ...Until now, with Alan Wake.

felidae5408d ago (Edited 5408d ago )

oh, how clever you are!

just because PS3 exclusives look way better doesn't mean that AW looks last gen.

stvpid fanboys!

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.

gigoran810d ago

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

Tacoboto9d 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

Knightofelemia10d 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.

Chocoburger10d 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? 🙄

Rynxie9d ago

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

Profchaos9d 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.

Rynxie9d ago

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

Asplundh9d 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.
