Alan Wake Plot Reveal

One thing is certain. Alan Wake the horror novelist leans heavily on his copy editor. On Remedy's official Alan Wake forums, the community manager posted some text taken from the long-awaited horror game. The post is a positive sign that Alan Wake is still on the way.

[meepmoopmeep]

nice, damn finally more info on this game

[Blademask]

come on keep it comin remedy.. cant wait to play this one.. I hope it offers a deep serious Single Player like MP.. god please.

[Why dis]

Why so worried?

[meepmoopmeep]

Blademask

it should, the plot sounds awesome.
i doubt there will be any multiplayer in the game.

but yeah, hopefully they'll show the gameplay at least by E3

[kalel114]

He is referring to Max Payne not multiplayer.

[Blademask]

So Its rare to have an amazing Single Player Story driven game, like MP(Max Payne, not Multiplayer).

If you played Max Payne you would understand how amazing that game was, it was like playing a friggen movie. The narration was gr.. EVERYTHING was great. One of the best games ever played in my life. I hope they sacrifice nothing in order to turn a buck. I doubt they understood what they had with Max Payne at the time, but it was a glorious game.

Not 100% sure what you mean about being worried? The two comments ahead of you were talking about looking forward/pumped up for the game...

[Elven6]

Interesting, I have a hunch about what the basis of this game might be and this kind of aids it.

[Bnet343]

Alan Wake ... wake me up when it comes out har har. In all seriousness, I was never hyped for this game. I need to see what it is first ...

[Mikerra17]

the first screens I seen of this game looked great (back then) but now they look commonplace I hope they make it better

[BattleAxe]

Good, now that they have the story written, maybe they can start writing some code for the game.

[Willio]

Looks like Alone in the Dark to me.

[ape007]

it's ALAN WAKE

im so pumped about this game

I trust remedy,an excellent game studio

[VMAN_01]

Makers of MP 1 and 2 can't go wrong definteley picking this up on my PC.

[reincarnated]

there still making this game? haven't heard much info on it for a while

[TheColbertinator]

I need a little more than this :( .Those DX 10 screenshots hopefully show up soon for the PC version

[Godmars290]

Now they just need to reveal some gameplay running on the console...

[grantps3]

i would like to know more about it before desiding, but it sounds cool

[JOLLY1]

Is desiding taking all of the t-111 off of a house? t-111 is siding, just in case you are curious. Oh, you meant deciding, my bad.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

*smirk*

That was good.

[JOLLY1]

Did you find my God comment amusing?

[floppyfeet]

its in the bag

[silverchode]

garbage bag?

[floppyfeet]

Or do you really think killzone will be able to compete with its 92% average on metacritic?

edit to person below

Heavy rain is a game based on QTE (quick time events) in which you smash the triangle button over and over until you "win"

funny enough that god of war 3 will be pretty much the same thing...

I dont believe those games will be able to compete with a game being made by one of the best developers in the industry who put out a GOTY title already max payne.

And as for infamous , the game will be lucky to get a 8.5

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I don't know. As amazing as it looks...

Heavy Rain, inFamous, and possibly God of War III will definitely be competing for that one.

FloppyFeet...you know as well as the rest of us that Fallout 3 got a 91 on PS3, 92 on PC, and 93 on 360. It won GOTY from many sources.

[TheColbertinator]

lol Silverchode

Your a damn troll but that was funny

[Foxgod]

Agreed, nothing will even come close to this game, why ?, because the people making it are the most talented devs/producers on the planet.

[Mikerra17]

how do you feel knowing this is just a copy cat of uncharted drakes fortune... except not as good,
just cause a game has decent graphics does not mean it will be good for example halo wars

Im not trying to be a fanboy but this has been done before and you already call it 2009 GOTy when it will most likely be delayed

[Queers of War]

and yet we havnt even seen some damn gameplay....vapourware much?

[floppyfeet]

how can you even compare alan wake to that uninspiring generic garbage ?

Uncharted was terrible and there is a reason nobody but playstation fans cared about the game , its because it didnt do anything noteworthy

Except it had "AWSUME GWAPHIC DAT SHOW THE TRUE POWER IOF TEH PEESTHREE"

Same thing with killzone , read the reviews , every single on of the reviews say it does absolutely nothing new with the genre except make it look REALLY good , i mean hell , every single one of the gametypes in multiplayer is taken directly from call of duty 4.

[Mikerra17]

If you wanna compare things that are NOTHING NEW, how about these games here

Halo 3
Halo wars
Gears of war 2
Left 4 Dead
Fable 2

what did those games listed do differently?

btw uncharted got amazing reviews, I never said it would be bad I said not as good. Im a fanboy but you are a crazy fanboy who cant see this game for what it is, a copycat

[Magic_The_Celt]

^^ Floppyfeet

we know barely anything about this game and your saying Killzone 2 cant compete and its GOTY 09?

did you smoke some of your mothers crack?

[cereal_killa]

Hasn't this game been confirmed for 2010? cant find the link but I swear I read it some where.

[Obama]

"Agreed, nothing will even come close to this game"

You are right fox god that nothing comes close to this game since it is still in pre-alpha stage and we have no idea whether the game play will be a pos or not.

[olivia]

i will admit this if that how the game looks and plays i will buy a 360(SARCASM)

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

I have like 20 GB's on my PC saved for this sucker! I know it won't be 20 GB's...but I'm just so excited!

[whothedog]

haha opps stupid ?, i will just look at ign :)

@highlight

For some reason I always thought this was a 360 exclusive...
Wouldn't happen to know whats up with The Crossing or Project offset is still on for the 360?

[iNcRiMiNaTi]

first time it was shown to the public was a PC build so yea, its coming out for the pc

dunno, last i heard from project offset was here http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...
and as for the crossing, havent heard anything about it since last year.

but i usually check http://vgreleases.com/ for info on release dates and they have links to articles about the game and links from this site about the games

[jesuisankit]

If it would had been 20 GB then it would fit on a single DVD for the 360 :P..

Man same here.. pumped for the game!!!

[Droid Control]

pre-order time!

[Jaces]

Good to know. If this game turns out to be as good as it seems then I'll be picking up a 360 come this winter.

What I've seen so far this looks like Uncharted cept more of a Horror/Psychological Thriller.

Neat.

[FragMnTagM]

It is almost nothing like uncharted, except for the graphics. It is an open world game more in the style of a cross between GTA and Silent Hill, with the storytelling style of Max Payne.

[whothedog]

might have to get a 360 for this one :(

sad face cause I'm broke!

.....Tax returns?? haha

[aggh im on fire]

This is probably my most wanted game at present. Im really hoping Remedy pull it off. And if your watching Remedy... please don't dumb it down.
Fingers crossed for a end of the year release.

[KoB4EMvPi]

Cant wait for this game.

[FPShooter]

why does KZ2 have to bring somthing new to the genre. it has a new cover system.

besides who says a game has to change the genre for it to sell well. Nobody said anything about CoD4 lacking inovation and for that matter what did gears2 bring new to its genre. both these games were good and sold well as will KILLZONE2.

[silverchode]

wow floppy dont get so defensive.

[Obama]

Still haven't seen any gameplay. For all we know it could be great or pos.

[manwich25]

It's about time that I get some info on Alan Wake

[Bloodshedder]

sounds like silent hill 2..., (...whats on the fridge?, SODA!)
