Alan Wake, the psychological thriller game coming from acclaimed developers Remedy, is a game that really did look like something different. Something that promised new innovations, gorgeous graphics and a very story-driven focus, which certainly sounded exciting when the game was first shown to the public way back in 2006.
Is the game really going to be all that good, or will it be a big disappointment...?
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.
"I really, really, desperately wanted him to start it off."
The story borrowed HEAVILY from the King novel "The Dark Half" anyway. Figured there'd be some sort of lawsuit but seems King was in on and ok with it.
Yup, I mean taking out the open world? LAME
Of course it will be a disappointment, it's a 360 exclusive.
If the 360 didn't suffer from limited disc space and RROD-rendering, Alan Wake would have the chance of being the last moderate success on the dying Xbox 360 platform.
They thought getting into the Automotive industry on the Xbox was a great idea but look what happened.
There is a lot of hype around this game, and being a new IP we don't really know what to expect.
It could go either way.
For the record, I hope it's a successful title for Remedy and Microsoft.
