YouGamers: So - last two questions, we promise! The biggest things with PCs at the moment are Windows Vista and DirectX 10. Anything special for DX10?
Mäki: [puts on a formal-sounding voice] We haven't announced anything for DX10 yet…
YouGamers: Just to confirm things then, the PC version is only for Windows Vista and not for XP machines…
Järvilehto: That's correct - the game is Vista exclusive
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 $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.
I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.
Alan Wake 2 continues the writer's story, 13 years later.
Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
This was a smart move on M$'s part IMO.
cant wait to play this on the 360
just get a 360, i'm not sure whether i will get this on pc or 360
So is Remedy now Microsofts second party?
by Microsoft. I'm sure they want to push DX10 and Vista by making some of these games Exclusive to just the Vista OS. If you want the better Experience then your gonna have to own a Vista DX10 enabled machine as Järvilehto states, "The PC version will definitely be scalable - that means every PC experience will be a bit different depending on your setup, whereas the 360 is a fixed platform."
1. Also it seems like developers studio "Remedy" is ready to move on with multi-threaded/multi-cored environment, as he states if you are not ready to move on, even if it might require extra work then you have no business.
a. "Mäki: I think it's of course a lot more work but I think it's just stuff you need to handle if you want to stay in this business - it's "business as usual" creating a multithreaded engine nowadays. It's just like a leap from C to C++, it's like…
b. Mäki: Yeah and if you can't take that leap, then you have no business being on the leading edge of game development, really."
2. So yeah, if you can't program for the 360/PS3 and not willing to make the leap, given you have the money and resources, then it's time to leave the business...hehe
3. This game looks amazing...some of the lighting in there is ridiculous. Man I ned to upgrade my RIG, of course it's great, I have the option of getting the 360 version. In due time.
