A small update

Dear people,

We feel we owe you all a small heads up, and our apologies for lack of updates. This is just part of our psychological thriller, is it all real or imagined...
Seriously, yes, we're still here and working hard on getting Alan Wake for you to enjoy. Sure, we've been in development for a long time and if everything had gone perfectly smoothly there probably would be a game out for you guys to play already. But designing a completely new game can be hard, and sometimes you need to take a detour to find the best route forward.

We want to entertain you guys in the best possible way and our team is putting in every effort possible in order for that to happen. That is the way Remedy wants to do things. I'm sure you will enjoy Alan Wake when we're done.

Just follow the light...

correct me if im wrong, but i thought they finally say that its not coming to PC? Xbox exclusive?

"By-mid 2009, plans for a Windows version were put on hold. Remedy stated that they wanted to focus on the Xbox 360 version, though they were not permanently shelving the Windows version.
They announced that all plans for a future Windows version lay now in the hands of the publisher, Microsoft."

It must have required a whole lot more work since they said that it will utilise Quad cores like no other game. 1 core for Weather, 1 core for Physics, 1 core for Game, 1 core for AI or sumthin like that. cant remember exactly coz read it so many years ago.

RIP Alan Wake:

Move along people, you can remove Alan Wake from your PC Game wish-list.
t(^.^t) to all pirates out there. Developing any games for PC is no longer deem profitable thanks to you all low-lifes out there.

get a xbox

I rather get a PS3 than Xbox360, atleast I know PS3 games cannot be pirated atm.

The same sort of rationale would then be applied to the PC version as well? You wanted to focus your attention on getting the 360 version right? What would be required for the PC version to happen?

MM: That's an interesting question. Our roots are very much in the PC development but focusing on one platform has allowed us to make the best possible game so in that respect we're very happy focusing on one platform. Right now, getting this out the door and done -

OH: And then thinking about the moves after that...

MM: Yeah. But I wouldn't - we don't have any plans for a PC version now. At least for me [gesturing at couch and television] this feels like a very good environment to play the game where you have the big screen and couch for something so cinematic and large. But that's just my personal preference.

review out liao

http://www.gametrailers.com/video/player/65249

damm shocked by the score though...looks like it wont topple max payne scores after 9 years waiting haha

s 4 xbox can sparrow the games,,,its M$ crap after all...anything made by M$ sure is sparrow-table unlike the japanese counterpart who add tighter DRM 2 pwnd the cracker back s 4 now n hopefully it will last so that i had the incentive 2 buy GT5 original hehe

It will definitely release to PC after 6 months, just stay tuned.It could be publish by Rockstar anyway.
See that? it means they are going to release PC version after 360 version released.

Another review of Alan Wake from Hardware Heaven:
http://www.gamingheaven.net/gamingreviews.php?reviewid=897

Looks good and scored quite well too, 93/100.

6 months is too soon. Halo too more than 1 year 
Its ironic how this terrain tessellation, quad thread stream open world game turned into a limited console lead-by-the-nose game.
So much for the multi core physics stuff and open world.

I love Microsoft operating system, I love their enterprise solution as well.

But their gaming division needs to die 
As much as I disagree with publisher like Ubisoft who is oblivious to the fact that their DRM is flawed, at least they still release their games on multiple platform including PC.
I'm always cautious about these review sites, especially when they give high score. 

I recall last time, a game review site gamespot got involve in a fiasco when their reviewer gave low rating to a game that was being advertise at their website. IIRC, the reviewer didn't want to compromise his integrity, got fired and all hell broke lose. You'll be surprise how far some publisher would go when they have loads of money at hand.

Its better to wait for non-bias user opinions, like what the majority of players say about a game, then you can see the good and bad, and decide.

Dear Remedy Entertainment,

There is no easy way to say this, so I’ll just get right to it. I’m breaking up with you. I’m packing my bags, and never looking back. It’s over, we’re finished. You may want to know why, to understand what led me to this decision after so many years of adoration and fandom. I hope my words will help you find the peace that I am now pursuing.

About a month ago I was punched in the gut while sitting at my PC. It is difficult to describe what I felt. It was as if millions of PC gamers suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. Remedy, you had made a decision, one that I will never forget; you pulled the plug on Alan Wake for the PC. My world had gone dark.

You were once one of my favorite game developers, Remedy. Many PC gamers shared my sentiments—you championed the PC platform and practically made history when you introduced the Max Payne series. Sure, you were a relatively new game studio in early 2000 with a small crew of developers and artists, but you managed to deliver a brilliant new game franchise that shared no similarities with anything else out there. Everyone was happy, and life was filled with slow-motion frivolity. Do you remember those days? We would dance, hand in hand, until the sun went down and the lights went out. I introduced you to all of my friends, and they thought you were the greatest thing to ever happen to the PC. You had created a kingdom in spent bullet casings.

Only you could improve on perfection. In 2003 you made Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne. The game was wonderful—adorned by gorgeous graphics, ragdoll physics, and more noir than you could shake a Magnum revolver at. Max had grown uglier, with that terrible tie of his, but you, Remedy, you were as beautiful as ever. I was so satisfied with what we had. All of my console gaming friends were jealous, they knew the game was better on the PC. They would have given just about anything to have a mouse in hand and be me in those days.

I couldn’t have been more excited when you announced Alan Wake, that brand new psychological action thriller with a gorgeous graphics engine. You had earned my full respect. I knew this title would be one of greatness. That was 2005 though, and life was very different. Today, the love and enthusiasm that I had for you, Remedy Entertainment, has been replaced by blackness and hatred. You have abandoned those that helped build your foundation.

You stopped talking to me, Remedy. You didn’t tell me how Max Payne 3 was coming along. I began to worry about you, and my fears were only confirmed once you passed the Max Payne IP over to Rockstar Games so you could focus on Alan Wake. I understand this may be a mid-life crisis, and you just need to cut the fat and find out who you really are. I encourage any such soul-searching efforts. I shouldn’t have needed to be worried, either, as Rockstar Games has made a name for themselves with some very good titles in recent years.

They say love means giving someone the chance to hurt you, but trusting they don’t. I began to think that my trust was misplaced the moment information on Max Payne 3 was released. Rockstar Games was taking the game in the wrong direction. Max had become fat and he was in Brazil fighting drug traffickers. This was wrong. It was all wrong. Things had begun to fall apart, and deep down inside, I knew that the end was coming faster than a buzz from a heavy dosage of Valkyr.

The sun was setting with practiced bravado. Twilight crawled across the sky, laden with foreboding. I knew something was going on. I saw how you looked at the Xbox 360. I noticed how you talked to it, with that gleeful look in your eye, just like the one you showed me all those years ago. There was nothing I could do to stop it—you were his, and he was yours. When you announced that Alan Wake would be an Xbox 360 exclusive, it was the final knife in my heart. The whole thing was a joke, and I was duped. We were all duped.

You drove the knife deeper into my heart. Only a few days after the announcement, that month’s issue of CGW magazine showed up on my doorstep. Like a dark messenger riding in on a cavalry of despair, there sat Alan Wake on the front cover. I took a breath and opened up the story. Right in the opening paragraph, it stated Alan Wake as being an Xbox 360 exclusive. The news broke in a print magazine. You made this decision long before you decided to tell me, Remedy. The mere thought of such an act disgusts me. It’s over, Remedy. I am finished with you.

Now I’m trying my best to move forward and get over this. I suggest you do the same, Remedy. I’m not the type to change my mind, and outside of you buying back the rights to Max Payne 3 and launching Alan Wake on the PC, nothing you can do will bring life back to this cold, dead heart within me. Even if you moved all of your operations to some town in Indiana, like Richmond, and begged me to come work for you, I wouldn’t do it. You’ve already hurt me too much.

I know we’ll see each other in Los Angeles in June. You’ll be showing everyone your stuff at E3, and I’ll be there on business doing my job. It will be awkward, and I promise not to make a scene.

I’m sorry about this. I didn’t want for things to end this way, but you left me no choice. Don’t bother trying to find me if you need me, I’ll be grabbing drinks with my buddies, Valve and Crytek.

Regretfully,
Bobby Miller

release on steam only!!! so no piracy!!!!

lol sry2... ask them to release on steam so there wont be any prob with piracy!!! =D

release on steam only!!! so no piracy!!!!

Maybe it's time to close this thread since it is doubtful to be on PC anytime soon.

The sleuths who spotted Alan wake in Steam’s registry files recently have been proved correct. Remedy have confirmed that Alan Wake will finally be coming to PC by way of Steam. One screenshot of the PC version has been released with a watermark teasing an “early 2012″ release. Thanks to Dan Grill for the tip off. Here’s that screenshot.

^yeah, hope they had Deluxe Edition which include both DLC. i guess this will be at 49.99 or 59.99.

Remedy Entertainment is proud to announce the PC release of Alan Wake. Coming in early 2012, the game will give PC gamers the Alan Wake experience they have been patiently waiting for. Remedy is a developer with deep roots in the PC space (Death Rally and Max Payne 1 and 2), so the game will have the high resolution polish that longtime fans will expect.

The PC version of the game will also include The Signal and The Writer downloadable content.

Alan Wake tells the story of a best-selling writer suffering from writer’s block. He goes on vacation to the small town of Bright Falls with his wife, Alice, to gain back his creative flow. Shortly upon arrival, Wake finds himself trapped in a nightmare when his wife mysteriously goes missing. He keeps finding pages of a manuscript he apparently wrote, but can’t remember writing. The manuscript is coming true. An involving psychological action thriller, Alan Wake raises the bar in storytelling and creating a suspenseful cinematic experience.

To get a sneak peak at Alan Wake for PC, please check out the first screenshot:

Release window sound familiar? That’s because Alan Wake’s American Nightmare for Xbox Live Arcade will also be available in the first quarter of 2012! For more information and updates, please visit Facebook www.facebook.com/alanwake and Twitter @Remedygames.

Alan Wake PC confirmed, will arrive early next year

The upcoming Xbox Live Arcade game, Alan Wake's American Nightmare, will have more action than the original 2010 game, and will include a new co-op multiplayer mode.

The mode is called "Fight 'til Dawn", and will basically be a Horde mode in which players cooperatively combat waves of dark creatures. According to Remedy vice president Aki Järvilehto, "One of the things about Alan Wake is that people loved the story, the setting and the theme but people wanted more in-your-face action. People wanted more variation, different types of enemies and different types of weapon."

Alan Wake's American Nightmare was finally officially revealed at the Spike TV Videogame Awards last Saturday.

Remedy Games is gearing up to launch Alan Wake on Steam this February with a hefty FAQ session on its forum. Steam's Alan Wake will not be available on Mac, won't use Games for Windows Live and won't have a demo. It will use Steamworks, support keyboard and Xbox 360 controller input, and will include The Signal and The Writer DLC packs with the game.

Alan Wake on Steam can support stereoscopic 3D through NVISION 3D, although it is performance-intensive, Remedy warns. For normal (see: "unfancy") gameplay, the expected system requirements are fairly standard, as you can see -- no flashlight required -

luckily it's on Steam, so can wait for discounts

Nordic Games today announced a publishing deal for the boxed PC version of Remedy’s upcoming Action Thriller Alan Wake. The Signal and The Writer DLC from the Xbox 360 version will be included as a bonus for the boxed PC release.

"It goes without saying that we are very happy and proud to work together with some of the greatest talents and artists of the games industry", commented Lars Wingefors, CEO of Nordic Games. "We are really looking forward to the PC version of Alan Wake, especially as we are talking about a fantastic PC adaptation thereof, rather than a mere porting of the code. We will talk about this in more detail in the upcoming weeks".

"We're very excited that we have the opportunity to bring the PC version of Alan Wake to retail and the fans out there." said Matias Myllyrinne, CEO of Remedy Entertainment. "Working closely with Nordic Games we can deliver an amazing experience to PC gamers."

The PC version of Alan Wake doesn't have a release date yet, but the firm did tell us that this would be revealed shortly.

Electronic Arts' digital distribution service, Origin, has signed seven more publishers to distribute their games on it, including Remedy Entertainment, which means Alan Wake will be available soon.

The six other publishers include Iceberg Interactive, Strategy First, Macro Games, Selectsoft, and Legendo Entertainment.

Let us know if you've purchased any PC games from Origin aside from Battlefield 3 or Star Wars: The Old Republic

Remedy revealed today the release date of the highly anticipated PC port of Alan Wake.

PC gamers who uses Steam will be able to purchase the game on February 16. Other digital retailers will follow afterwards but for the boxed version, it’s coming. We just don’t know when.

Alan Wake for the PC will retail for $29.99 and will include the game and the DLCs. There will also be a Limited Collector’s Edition that will retail for $34.99.

Now, what’s so special about the PC version of Alan Wake you ask? Here are the enhancements that Remedy released:

– Experience Alan Wake’s Pacific Northwest in higher resolutions and higher fidelity than ever before.
– Refined and fully configurable mouse and keyboard support (or if you prefer to play with the Microsoft gamepad connected to your PC, you can do that too!)
– A wide selection of customizable graphics settings and support for 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios.
– Multithreaded engine that takes advantage of quad core CPUs.
– Additional options our fans have sought after, such as field of view adjustment as well as “hide HUD”.
– Works with AMD Eyefinity 3D 3-screen mode.
– Works with NVIDIA NVISION2 Stereoscopic 3D.
