Remedy Entertainment, Alan Wake September Release: "Bogus Claim"

Statements from the Official Alan Wake boards clarify that claims of a September release and media speculation is nothing more than a "bogus claim."

Moderators whom are also employees of Remedy Entertainment, reinforce the message that the upcoming title will be done "when its done." And that if you do not see it on an official site, "then it's simply not true."

1.2 - That was almost as fast as the
"KZ2 release" bogus claim article. It is getting close to April first I guess. Rumors suck and so do the people that start them.

That's a good point. They may not want to set their date yet, so, they're on the "no comment train".

Its very sensible marketing, everyone does it. You want to control the message.

why do you all keep posting news stories on release dates thats not confirmed by the damn developers? its pointless posting rumors all the time thats going to get debunked no matter what.

developers/publishers aren't giving out the release dates until closer to launch.

12 - lesson learned
Yea there was alot of shyt talkin goin on earlier today about games of 08.. and how shyt was gonna change wen it comes out.. and little did people know that is was false..

People should really stop trusting these lame rumors from lame sites..

as they said.. if its not on the official site then pay it no attention.. dont go rambling on about how ur console of choice is gonna have this great lineup of 08 if the games are not even officially dated.. same goes for the killzone fans.. NO DATE yet

How anyone can just make up anything on their blogs and thousands of gullible people and websites will believe it.

Oh well, it was fun thinking that this game was coming out this year. Hmmm, I learned my lesson which is, around April take everything with a grain of salt.

16 - that's disappointing
because outside of Fable 2 and maybe Too Human, there isn't anything else coming to the 360 this year that personally appeals to me.

in case some of you are wondering, i'm not a Gears of War fan, and while i really, really like Ninja Gaiden, the games are just too damn hard for me to have fun with. i play a game to relax and have a good time, not break my controller.

Alan Wake was probably higher on my list than any 360 game releasing this year.

of course, i'll be playing my PS3 quite a bit this year, so this isn't a total loss (games like GTAIV and Fallout 3 are being purchased for my PS3, as are most of the multi-plats hitting this year; i just like the feel of the Playstation 3 controller better than the 360. just my own personal preference; there is NO right or wrong here).

How about Banjo Kazooie Threeie? Bully? Dead Island? Elveon? Guilty Gear 2: Overture? Infinite Undiscovery? Left 4 Dead? Lost Odyssey (already available)? Operation Darkness*? Postal 3? Project Offset? Sabotage? Sacred 2: Fallen Angel? Tales of Vesperia?

Like RTS? There are about 5 coming. Like FPS? Another 5-10. Racing? Sports? No? Not a single FPS, RTS, Racer or sport title in that bunch.

Those are just the Exclusives. Do you only play 2 games a year or something?

Oh, and about 2 Small Xbox LIVE Arcade games every week.

Somehow, I get the impression you're _trying_ to imagine there are no games to be interested in playin on Xbox 360 in 2008... I wonder why..?

*If you havent checked that out, look it up. Its a Japanese developed JRPG-style tactical RPG. Pretty interesting mash-up of genres. Im very eager to see it this year.

16.2 - well...
i'm aware of all of those games, but if i was interested in them, i'd have listed them.

it's not like i completely forgot about all the titles hitting the 360 this year. just that there are very few that have my interest piqued to a level where, with my limited funding, i'll give up buying a PS3 title to pick it up.

what's really messed up, is that i've been limiting my gameplay on my 360 so it won't red ring before any of my anticipated titles comes out. it sounds foolish, and it *IS, but my roommate was absolutely DYING to play Mass Effect. he bought it on day one brought it home... and his 360 crapped out on him. he didn't get to play Mass Effect for a week until he bought a new 360, and eventually sent his off to MS for repair.

it's things like this (a similar thing happened to a friend of mine who was eagerly awaiting a game, maybe Bioshock, and his 360 crapped out on him the same day).

personally, not a single one of us should have to worry about our systems crapping out on us. i've only had my 360 for about two months now, but i'm constantly living in that state of uncertainty and trepidation every time i get the urge to play Mass Effect or Crackdown. it's ridiculous. i just don't have that worry with my PS3, because it's built like a brick-house.

i find it hard to put so much money behind a console that could crap out on me, denying me the very REASON why i bought the console in the first place; playing games.

If they delay it a little bit longer we can have Alan Wake for the Xbox 720...

Exactly.

MSFT has shown what its method is. They talk about games that are availabel _now_ or _very soon_. It's a different method.

Now, I'm sure they're keeping some cards close to their chest.
