Alan Wake Will be Shown At E3

Alan Wake has been "coming soon" to the Xbox 360 since before the console even launched. Billed as a "psychological action thriller" which finds its roots in dramatic television, the story follows the titular horror novelist as he copes with the sudden disappearance of his fiancée. Plagued by writer's block and an inability to sleep, Wake sequesters himself at a clinic in the small town of Bright Falls, Washington. Terrifying nightmares give the writer fresh inspiration, but things take a turn for the sinister when the horrific visions begin to manifest in his waking life.

My goal is to get you down to 1 bubble since you feel the need to troll posts with your obnoxious comments. If you have nothing nice to say why bother.

And in regards to Alan Wake being shown I am really excited. Microsoft had stated previously that they haven't revealed their full line up for this year, so maybe it will be released around the holidays.

1.3 - @breakfast what he is trying to say that is
everything on xbox eventually comes to PC or vice-versa.

Whereas ps3 exclusives, you know, don't.

So statements like "Only on xbox" don't actually work, whereas statements like "only on PS3" works

Take this trolls bubbles out he does not need them.

It is nice to see we will finally get new media. 2 years is way too long, but I'm sure it will have been worth the wait.

Nothing wrong with 360 games coming to PC or vice versa. I prefer 360 versions because I can sit on my couch and play on a widescreen TV. I'm not stuck at a desk in a chair where I can't put my feet up. To each their own. I wish people would quit saying "well i'll just get the 360 game for PC with better graphics anyway". Fine, if you want to play on a 22" widescreen monitor as opposed to a potentially 50"+ TV, suit yourselves.

Isn't every game a PC port? since they are all developed on a "PC" and I'm pretty sure this game will require MS windows to run it.

Naaa, that's because you don't have the proper set.
I have my rig connected to my 42" 1080p LCD (DVI to HDMI) and I can play almost every Xbox 360 *Exclusive* at 1080p and 80+ Frames per second.

And no, I'm not stuck at a desk in a chair, that's why someone invented wireless Keyboard and mouse, and if you love your 360 pad so much, you are free to use it, because you don't have to buy overpriced proprietary accessories.
And yes, all I do is get the 360 game for PC with better graphics anyway. and don't forget Mods and free OnLine.

On topic. Cant wait to get this game, its looking really promising from what I have seen.

And this is a another reason most third party devs don't want to develop exclusively for the PS3-- an approx 13 million console base and no pc version versus an approx 19 million console base and a pc version with the 360. you do the math.

You keep a PC in your living room? Do you still live at home or alone? My girlfriend would never have a PC in the living room. I'm sorry but I'd rather play the games now than have to wait a 6months to a year to play them.

Also, games like Dead Rising and Crackdown (two of my favs) are not on PC.

Shut this user up Let user speak
Nevers - 546 days 21 hours ago
2.2 - I agree...
what we've seen looked good when we first were introduced to the title.. years ago. Based on what I saw in that long panning teaser vid, I'd say they need to upgrade the visuals to compete with the games currently out ...let alone releases that haven't seen light of day.

That said... I'm still looking forward to this title. Very intrigued at least. I just don't want them to overhype this title... give us a little info to chew on but not enough to spoil the whole game.

Enemies should be a secret, till the game gets released.

They could turn the mysteriousness, into something positive.

7 - i went to the alan wake site earlier today
and in the forums it led me to this link
http://www.brightfalls.net/

and the 1st article has an interview with the guy who does the voice acting for alan and the dude said he hasnt been to the rememdy studio since last year. kinda shot my hope down about this game being released, or at least released this year.

i hope this info about it being on e3 is true tho. this title definitly showed promise

7.1 - voice actor
this probably means they are done all the voiceovers.

this game was slated for 2008 back in 2007 and it wouldn't surprise me if it comes out in 2008.

If I remember correctly, there were small article in Finnish game magazine where Remedy guys did say that all basic components in Alan Wake are already done and since April they have been doing only bug fixing and some fine tune to game mechanics. If that is true then it's more than likely that Alan Wake is coming this fall.

That doesn't mean a thing when considering his role lol. You assuming a voice actor's role being a major factor inwhich the order or method the game is developed is comical to say the least.

The game could have been made of fleshed out long ago when it comes to story and charactors, this is a very advanced game using more of the 360 threads than most games if not all at this point.

What i find awesome is people getting so hyped with basically no info and the same old and now maybe outdated pic of the character .

i'm sure it will be impressive on a technical level , since it's from Remedy , however i hope for our sakes that game is more than just some alone in the dark/nocturne kind of experience .... or else you can expect many pointless months of "that game is overrated" debates and articles .

I'm a PS3 owner, but Alan Wake is really one of the only future Xbox 360 titles that I'm actually looking forward to seeing.

And sorry Bloodmask, but there's no way that Alan Wake is coming out for the Holidays of this year. I know that Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source, but on Wikipedia, Alan Wake is listed for December 2009. But either way, I know that Alan Wake isn't coming this year that's for sure. Microsoft would be releasing too many exclusives within a small time frame if they released Fable 2, Banjoe 3, Gears 2, and Alan Wake in the Fall/Holiday season.... Plus, Microsoft needs to save Alan Wake for 2009 if you ask me because they need something to combat Sony's monster exclusives for 2009.

Alan Wake is summer 2009 at the earliest and it's one of 2 360 games I'm looking forward to (the other being Fable 2), so it better be good.

It'll be interesting to see how its panned out since it was announced. I'd be willing to pick up the PC version if it looks good. The premise sounds fun in any case.

Kind of looking forward to a couple of those JRPG's and Left 4 Dead, Hoping for Splinter Cell and Thesis.

I guess we'll have to wait for E3 to see what we posted holds up.

BTW: both KZ2 and Alan wake were shown at '05 E3

I only posted on how many KZ2 just to show how ludicrous your first post was.

Steelers, nuff said. It's a very nice comeback. You probably own an Elvis Grbac jersey. LOL... Anyways, while they were both shown at E3 05, when's the last time you saw RUNNING footage of Alan Wake? Not the physics demo (on PC), not the tornado and not the running to the lighthouse, but gameplay? Exactly. And when/if they show it this year, guess what, it'll be running on a PC. I never questioned if it was a good game or not. Remedy's solid 8 review score track record is enough for me.
