GamesRadar writes: "We already knew that Alan Wake would be making a showing at the Spike TV VGA awards, but beyond that there wasn't a drop of information. Would it be more DLC? A sequel? A prequel? While we're still mostly in the dark, Major Nelson has provided a bit of illumination: the game will be entirely new, and it will be released on Xbox Live.
In the tweet, Nelson confirmed that the game will be a standalone product, though he doesn't use the word sequel at all. "We can confirm that this new 'Alan Wake' game will be a fully standalone experience," he said, "and released on Xbox LIVE." Remedy's community manager also chimed in, promising a screenshot on Monday."
Looking forward to hearing more about this title after I was won over by the previous game.
Well that's disappointing. I want a full-fledged retail sequel. This was a very promising IP, but it looks like it's going to be mismanaged to death.
Finally some new content for one of my favorite games of all time.
My hope is it's a side scrolling metroidvania type game like Shadow Complex but with an eerie twist but I suspect it will most likely be a Kinect spinoff (yawn), I was the biggest proponent of Kinect at first but after several poor games I can't help feel cynical about it.
