Now PC is a good idea. This game looks really fun, should be a good experience.

Huh...? I submitted this article yesterday (the first to do so) and it got to like 350degrees, now its failed approval as a duplicate story (it wasn't) and this pops up? and I used a better picture... ;)

Whats that about...?

clixx335393d ago

Well since Microsoft's platforms are the Xbox 360 AND the PC...most of their games go to PC as well. So what's wrong with saving $200+ dollars and buying it on my PC instead? After all, as long as you do have a good computer, it would be the same experience.

eddvdm5394d ago

Or the game is showing itself so good that PC gamers can't handle wait or it's its marketing crew who is making a hell of a job, but I can't hear anymore about this silly "alan wake on pc in up in the air"..

if the "game dev team" can't decide about this I don't think they can make a *very good* game after all. Decide about it already..

sunil5394d ago

From what I have seen this game could get quite some hardware sold... its good, no question about that... that being said Microsoft would profit more if the game does not release on their other platform PC-Windows (do they even earn anything other than software license on windows)...
Am sure they wont stop it from coming on the PC, but it might be a timed exclusive

Flipfito5394d ago

seriously im trying to find a reason to buy a 360 but if all good 360 games keep going to PC, whats the point? but alan wake on PC..not a bad idea but chill a lil

peowpeow5394d ago

If you have a gaming pc then i understand why you feel no need for a 360. But if you mean in general then I'm sure there are alot 360 owners who don't own a gaming pc or like to game on PC.

dirthurts5394d ago

after some time that is.
Pc is an easy port from the 360. I know a lot of pc gamers that would enjoy it. I'm betting 6 to 9 months after the 360 release.

TheIneffableBob5394d ago

The game has been developed for the PC from the start. In fact, everything they've shown from the game was from the PC version until E3.

Natsu X FairyTail5394d ago

how did this get approved? they already had that news today.
as far as I wont be affected by this since I shall be buying this on xbox360.

The PC version will come out a few months after xbox360.

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.

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

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

Knightofelemia2d ago

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? 🙄

Rynxie1d 23h ago

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.

Rynxie1d 23h ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh1d 20h ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

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.
