Alan Wake Confirmed For September

In case you haven't heard, Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller from Remedy, the developer of successful titles including Max Payne and Max Payne 2. The game is due for the Xbox 360 and PC - and has been re-confirmed once again for September 2008.

The game puts the player in control of Alan Wake, a successful horror writer until he lost his muse and love (all very Silent Hill so far). He travels to Bright Falls in order to start afresh and come to terms with his loss. He writes a book about his nightmares (as you do as a successful author, as Stephen King will attest to) but unfortunately, these nightmare begin to come true.

[HighDefinition]

cause this was suppose to be out in 2005/2006. I wanted it badly then, now not so much.

[chaosatom333]

LBP and killzone 2 has some competition. Forget about my other post.

Personally, I never seen Microsoft pursue a action adventure game, so it will be interesting.

edit: "Apparently this will give it a combined feel of Silent Hill or Resident Evil mixed with Grand Theft Auto"
oh wait, i was getting my hopes up for nothing. This looks like a zombie-killing game.
Isn't dead rising doing that also?

I think 360s owners would rather play RE5 than this. Those 360 owners that played RE4 know what I am talking about.

[MURKERR]

for me,hope it gets good reviews

[sonarus]

lol why disagree with a pc purchase. It has already been confirmed for pc and anyone without an X360 will be able to play on pc.

[Sayai jin]

@Sonarus-Not anyone. People with a PC capable of running the software. Not everyones computer can do this. I know several people that have brout a 360 or PS3 or both, beccuase they do not want to fork over the duckets for a PC upgrade.

[CrazzyMan]

1) disagreeing ALSO means, that a man, who pressed dissagree button will not get PC version, while man, who pressed agree button will probably ALSO get PC version.

2) @Sayai jin, by the time of game release every 399$ costing PC will be able to run Alan Wake.
It`s already today`s 399$ costing PC can without problem run UT3, GeoW, CoD4 and even Crysis at medium.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum... -> and this one is not even with GF9600GT.
And it`s NOT the best idea to ignore PC exclusives -> http://www.neogaf.com/forum... =)

3) anyway, i somehow doubt, that game will come this year, But it would be great if it will.

p.s. need bubbles, thnx. =)

[Sayai jin]

@CrazzyMan- BTW, I usully only disagree if someone rights relly ridiculous, tunnel visioned response and even then, not always. Your response was level headed, hence I did not disagree with you. Anyways, I know even some current or future inexpensive PC's wil be able to run the game. The point is not everyone will have the money to buy one, especially if they have a PC for general purpose and brought a current console. My point remains the same. Not nyone that does not own the 360 will be able to get it for the PC.

True, it would be nice if the game comes out this year. I have heard from credible souces that it will be release Sep to Oct 08.

[Mr Playboy]

I think you mean KZ2 not alan wake not sure about that

I already have 360 this game gonna be big hit in 2008

This game is developed by Remedy Entertainment the creators of Max payne, well I think I got enough excuse to buy this game

[HighDefinition]

who makes it.

but that doesn`t change it was suppose to be out in 2005/2006.

KZ2 was shown in 2005/2006, it wasn`t suppose to come out then.

so......

[ngg12345]

Forevergeek, I haven't seen any confirmation...

[Blademask]

[AlterEgo]

good luck against LBP and KZ2

well, at least its a different genre i guess, but we'll have to wait and see

[wageslave]

Alan Wake will outsell both those titles. Alan Wake is going to be the BioShock or Mass Effect of 2008, big story, in-depth story telling and ground-breaking in many ways.

KZ2 is going to be the most expensive failure in videogame history -- the Ishtar of videogames if you will.

And, LBP has much to prove, so far, it looks like a physics toy? LBP == much to prove, and not looking like its more than Halo 3's Foundry without the fun.

[fenderputty]

one would be skeptical of LBP selling tons. Mostly beacuse the game needs to be marketed to the masses in order for them to know what is going on. Sack boys aren't enough alone. They need to really push the create and share aspects of the game. This is obvious since you're trying to compare it to Halo's foundry which is 1/1000th the freedom that LBP gives you.

KZ2 has just as much of a chance to sell as Alan Wake does. Neither of the titles are proven. Not much is known about either one of them as far as features and gameplay. Although I believe we've seen more from KZ2 then Alan Wake. I know I'm not wrong when I say it wowed the industry last year. To claim failure before it's launched makes it seem like MS sent you a magic 8 ball.

As far as Alan Wake is concerned, I hope it comes out this year. I want to see how it turns out. I know I wouldn't mind getting a 360 sometime in the future and this title is one that interests me.

[Sevir04]

we could say the same thing about alan wake being an epic failure, considering how much it's been delayed and delayed, to the point of rumors being formed that it was scrapped. just be happy the game is coming out STHU!!!! damn fankids

[AlterEgo]

whoa! i've been attacked!

XD @ the disagrees

[meepmoopmeep]

i'd like to see some gameplay footage and learn more about the story

[nirwanda]

Has been made the the game engine in much the same way MGS4 has what I really want to see is someone playing the 360 version anyway I have included a screenshot that shows the compass that points the way to your next objective that looks more like an gameplay screenshot

[solar]

egads. whats in that engine bay? looks like someone puked.

[nirwanda]

it won't let me post the 720p screenshot you should see it at full rez here
http://www.alanwake.com/scr...

[solar]

that looked better. i can actually see the radiator cap. what engine is the game using?

[nirwanda]

It's there own engine they have been developing since max paine 2 it uses multi core processors working in tandem with the gpu to render the graphics it has a draw distance of 2 kilometers this detailed and the game word is 26 square miles all on one DVD
http://brightfalls.net/alan...

[Sevir04]

those screens are beautyfull, though i suspect those are the PC screens because they dont specify which version. still i dont think the xbox 360 is too far from that i mean the level of AA on that was insane, theres just no way the 360 can have that level of AA it's to PC perfect. either way my interest has peeked again for this game, and i'll likey purchase it or rent it for my PC.

[slak]

I don't think this is confirmed ........never mind

[Marceles]

foreverdebunked.com

[princejb134]

hold up so its this just action/adventure or horror included since it says (all so very silent hill so far)
just a question dont bash me

[Boldy]

Horror is included. Remedy labels it as an action thriller.

[Strife Lives]

im just hoping they upped the ante in graphics by release.interesting story. Bt if u look at the vids,the cars windscreens are blacked out and details werent as gd as ur average game in 2007. By average,I mean average AAA title. i have faith tho,and MSFT need Alan Wake to kick ass.

[meepmoopmeep]

i agree, the vistas and landscapes looks good but when it showed the actual character and the enemies it is far from a AAA looking game at the current moment. that's why i'm really interested in seeing what the in-game footage will look like.

the story was had always intrigued me.

[wageslave]

Dont compare what Alan Wake _will be_ in September with unreleased Demos that you are seeing for games due in 2009 (and beyond).

If Alan Wake looks as good as shown, it will set the new high-water-mark for console graphics.

[bigjclassic]

for Alan Wake and its masses of fanboys. Personally I didnt like Max Lame, so I have to play this to judge it. Hopefully its not another lame HD-era game.

[Boldy]

I'm hoping we see something at E3 because it's been a bit of a dry period on this game for the past several months.

[Pain]

That they Really are making this Tech Demo into a Game.. errr have fun...

[Gam71]

Right cos the ps3 doesn't have any "tech demos" being made into games.

Even though this is a game and never a "tech demo"

[GETPWNT]

lmao, pain. you're so f*cking sad and pathetic. no wonder you're emo.

you want to talk about tech demos? how about krapzone 2? everyone knows it's just a pathetic tech demo with low rez blurry shaders (textures, for u n00bs). cuz everyone knows the game sucks lol. because the first game was sh1t. idiot.

everyone knows Alan Wake is going to be an amazing blockbuster title this year, why? because Remedy f*cking rape ur panzy, emo ass. They have a reputation for it.

get owned.

[Pain]

lmao always with the insults eh banana sucker? its ok u can dream all u want. u do live in the land of Mind blowing self-absorbed dreams.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

So sad you having to watch that Sony magic trick POOF! "The Incredible Srinking 2008 line up".

08 for Xbox owners has grown to Gears of War 2, Halo Wars, Left 4 Dead, Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Splinter cell Conviction, Too Human, Huxley, GTA4 (EXCLUSIVE CONTENT) and Thesis (maybe) while yoour still stuck at 4 games. Whats even more sad is, I don't even think MS is done yet. You don't lay down an 11 punch super combo like that so early without throwing a few kicks while down. MS idea of concentrating on 07 in 07 and 08 in 08 has layed down a nice little beat down for the PS3. 08 went from the y"ear of the PS3" to being "The Year the PS3 got b!tch slapped" and we are only three months in.

Poor Droids, nothing to play "again". XD XD XD XD pwned

[The_Engineer]

did this idiot just call textures shaders??? bwahahahahhahahahahahaha

retarded xbot go crawl back in your hole and stop showing the world how utterly dumb you are. Then again it only shows that you are the prototypical xbot, you are absolute know nothings when it comes to what makes games tick yet try to act like you do. No wonder you worship an underpowered console like its the second coming. dumbasses.

oh dear, jason dumbass is at it again touting GTA's dlc as 08 content, please remove your head from your anus xbot cause you sound like you talking cheeeeet.

[PopEmUp]

for the 2 game that Ps3 hitting in november "Little big Planet" and "Killzone 2"

[mikeslemonade]

Alan Wake is not a system seller. Sorry but the PS3 will outsell 360 no matter what Microsoft does.

[mighty_douche]

Sweeeet... loads of games in september :)

[RobertGonz69]

If this game gets a great review then I will spend my hard earned $60 bones. If it gets a o.k. review then I will rent it. That's the bottom line. Been waiting for this game for years.

[JHFKDFNFGJKFHDKF]

it seems with gears of war 2, fable 2 and alan wake - microsoft's late 08 lineup looks just as strong as sony's

[Boldy]

Scott ---->

Go to where the chipmunk is aiming

[wageslave]

I was going to just ask you to goto the Open Zone, but your delusions need addressing.

Gears of War 2 - by Epic. Gears of War 94 / 100 (at Metacritic). Gears won piles of Game of the Year Awards.

Fable 2 - by Peter Molyneux. Fable 85 / 100. Re-inventing RPG gameplaying. Fable 2 == RPG of the Year 2008.

Alan Wake - by Remedy, maker of Max Payne 89 / 100 and Max Payne 2 84 / 100. Good track-record, and we know they can pull it off, MP was great. Alan Wake == Action/Adventure of the Year 2008.

MGS4 - will probably be the best PS3 game ever. But, the gameplay in Frontlines Fuel of War, Counter Strike, Halo, Gears and the many multi-platform games, I'll be just fine not playing MGS4. Perhaps I'll play it at someone's house.

HAZE == snore.
Killzone 2 - by Guerilla Games, who's only other work is Killzone 70 / 100 (mediocre). The game has been pushed back multiple times, and the budget has ballooned to $60 Million -- what does this say? The most expensive train wreck of a videogame in history. This will be the last game Guerilla makes. Perhaps, after spending so much on the IP, Sony will take it to another Developer, but Killzone (imho) is going to be a massive failure and disappointment. Mark my words.

LittleBigPlanet == Halo 3 Foundry platformer.

Resistance 2 - by Insomniac, Resistence 86/100. Insomniac will almost certainly deliver a better game than Haze or KZ2. R1 is a good game but not ground breaking or the Top Tier like Gears or Halo.

GT5p, Motorstorm2 == Vanilla Racing games. Want innovation? See Forza and PGR. Forza 2 is the best racing game available. GT5 will be good, but it doenst look like its going to be very innovative.

After the things http://forzamotorsport.net/ pioneered, I'll never go back to the kind of non-LIVE racing games again. I cannot wait to see what Forza 3 brings.

Basically, PS3 is just starting to even remotely approach games of any quality, and the Xbox 360 continues to lead, and will maintain its lead in quality and innovation.

The PS3 is smoke and mirrors, more promises from Sony that they'll never deliver. 4D emotion engines and all that.. much marketing nonsense.

The Xbox 360 owner plays the best games, and he plays them *TODAY* and that will continue. I know it, you know it, the industry knows it and it makes you very very sad and jealous.

[Diugu]

You are clueless.

I agree with most of what you said about the 360 games. I really think they will rock. (Except for Alan Wake, which I dont know much). I mean I loved Fable and GeoW, on the PC and on a friends 360 (Never played Fable on the original xbox)... I am serious... those games rocked and I am sure the sequels will rock aswell.

But the rest of what you said is just there to illustrate your fanboyism and stupidity. I mean... how can you say that about GT5p and Motorstorm 2?!?! And the others.. I mean... I mean... sigh... I dont think I've ever seen someone be so wrong even on the N4G forums!

You are just clueless and I will leave it at that.

[fenderputty]

A. LBP is 1000x more in depth then FOUNDRY. Jesus, do some research on the game before you try to claim crap like that.

B. I'll mark your words when KZ2 wows the entire industry again this year like they did the last.

C. RFOM was a launch title. They've expounded on every aspect that a complaint was made. The game will rock.

D. Motorstorm 2 is looking to fix a good portion of the complaints it has for the first version. Gameplay was never a complaint for this game. Just tracks and lack of split screen.

E. GT5P is without question better then PGR4 and Forza. That statement you made almost discredits your entire post. Well ... that and the LBP post.

F. You at least got MGS4 right.

I mean hell man. I know the games that are coming out for the 360 are gonna rock. Alan wake looks more then interesting. Gears will, of course, be awesome. Fable is another solid series that looks to be improving on the last. Why can't you just give credit where it due instead of spouting of random crap like "LBP is Halo's foundry"

[fenderputty]

I just can't get over this comment. I mean ... how big of a fanboy are you?

[Glad to be a gamer]

I agreed with most of your points but Lbp is definately a lot more than halo 3 foundry which is brilliant. This game for me looks like a must own title this year i mean with its skys the limit attitude when it comes to creativity.

As far as those disagreeing with the gt5p/motor storm statement. Tell me what innovation or new ideas have these franchises brought to the racing scene except better graphics.

I know its hard to renovate a genre thats pretty cut and paste but pgr brought us weather effects,whole cities to use the track editor on ,online racing/tournaments and motorbikes vs cars. Forza has given deep custom paint jobs, unprecedented performance customisation and the realistic driving/damage physics model.

Gt was the first driving simulator but apart from graphics the game has not progressed since GT1. Hopefully Gt5 will bring the franchise into the modern day.

[le killer]

and i do agree with most of that! i don't really know anything about lbp so i can't comment. but boy are you gonna lose bubbles over that lol. you can't diss sony favourites like that in here! sony have forced polophony digital to release a gran tourismo demo(and microsoft get called desperate!!!), and it's true that apart from graphics, the franchise has'nt changed in 10 years. and even though i got bored with forza after a while, the gt games have bored me alot more. imo forza was a better game! all the little things that you can do with the cars is pretty amazing, and the little tweaks that actually affect performance. that's without on-line. and the sony fanboys have still got another year before they get the real deal! still in that year, it mite come with voice chat, and player games on-line!!!!!

and after killzone 1, i'm not really pumped for the second outing! apart from the fanboys lapping it up, this has got flop written all over it! i loke the "wowed the game industry comment" obviously your talking about the cgi vid shown at e3 in 2005! something that kz2 is'nt gonna remotely look like!! smell the coffee people.

[CPTN MITCHELL]

in silent hill. good luck 3fixme

[iAmPS3]

It's too bad 360 has no exclusives this year, this is just another game I will play on my PC.

I have friends that wanted a 360 but now they know that they can get all the games on their PC, what a shame.

[ravinshield]

you just love microsoft games huh.

[The_Engineer]

would buy a cheeet sandwich from MS if they told em its the new delicacy. As for me I can wait for better frame-rates,textures,resolutio n s and generally they way the game was meant to be played rather than putting it on the 480p box errr I mean 360.

[jollygoodchap8]

Nice...My wallet is eventually gonna develop life and self-awareness, and choke the hell out of me.

So many games at the end of this year, I might have to put in some overtime to afford them all :(

[Skerj]

It's about damn time, I've been waiting for this since it was announced.

[JHFKDFNFGJKFHDKF]

dellusional fanboy.
I didnt want to have to do this.

GT5 prologue : a DEMO
HOME - no-one will use it. Do you know why? People only use social networks like second life or home to interact with the opposite sex; that wont be happening on HOME.
Haze - numerous previews have lambasted it as "awful" and "abyssmal" - you really think its goiing to be good?
Killzone 2 - based on guerillas track record - a 6-7 game at best.

The rest of the games on that list will probbably be great - but how can you even claim that motorstorm 2 will be of a better quality than the xbox's exclusives when hardly anything has been announced?

face it - microsoft isnt going to just let sony win holiday 08 - its got some great titles of its own.

[Utalkin2me]

Man you took the words right out of my mouth...Clap

You know its bad when people are so obsessed they have to change there avatar to someone they hate. Just shows he is on here to hate nothing else and nothing more. And you should be treated as such.

[ScottEFresh]

I have a reply for you in the open zone.

[etownone]

completely agree

[Amanosenpai]

Lol wtf

"People only use social networks like second life or home to interact with the opposite sex; that wont be happening on HOME..." Weirdo get a real social life. For real.

GT5 prologue : a DEMO... o yea... How does it feels when a demo surpass in many ways 360 exclusive racing games?

[Amanosenpai]

"LBP is Halo's foundry"

This claim deserves a place in the "TOP TEN most stupid fanboy claims ever made"

[LaChance]

doesnt like waiting 1 year to play every 360 exclusive just because they are a Sonyslave.
I cant beleive people actually prefer putting hundreds of euros in a computer to play 360 games one year later after everyone has finished on 360 rather than putting 280 euros to play them right away.
Some sony fanboys are really torturing themselves.

[Cherchez La Ghost]

"GT5 prologue : a DEMO... o yea... How does it feels when a demo surpass in many ways 360 exclusive racing games"?

I have a small comment about GT5. I have the demo on my PS3. Fact is GT5 is "EXCELLENT" in graphics. Due to the fact the legion of Sony fanboys who "worship" the PS3, it would surprise me at all 1.5 to 2 million copies will be sold within weeks of it's release. Now, I can say for myself playing Gran Turismo (Demo) & Forza 2, Forza is a better Sim. Why?! For example, I had a 1970 Chevy Chevelle SS and upgraded every part to the max. When I test drove it, the RPM's screamed so high, it was faster of the line with stock parts. The mofo burnout all the way in mid 3rd gear. It took me days of trying to tweak the engine & transmission, and I still couldn't get it to run right. Point I'm trying to say it this, from the experience of playing the Grand Turismo series and playing Forza, the difference is there. Forza is way much stronger in the Simulator department than Gran Turismo (IMO for now until I get GT5).

Playing Forza 2 online made me a better driver. How?! Two words..., CAR DAMAGE!! Instead of fool's crashing, bumping and using T-bone tactics to get in front of you, you must drive like a professional. This is one of the factors that will put me into PO'ed status when I play online on GT. The more damage you do to your car, the more it will cost you money out of your pocket.

[Glad to be a gamer]

yep agree with both your comments.

[Citizen Cook]

I am SOOOOO0ooooo looking forward to this!

Alone in the dark
Alan Wake
Fable 2
Gears 2

Its good to be an Xbox gamer!

HA HA HA HA!

[iAmPS3]

Alone in the dark - Will play on PC
Alan Wake - Will play on PC
Fable 2 - Will play on PC
Gears 2 - Will play on PC

Who needs a CrapBOX?????

[Sez]

yup all those agmes are coming to the 360/pc. why would anyone need the dustmagnet 3. lol

[ben hates you]

good play the fúcking game and quit acting like a dumbass

[Gam71]

But ps3 owners can't play them on pc because you'll need a powerful pc to get anything like a 360 experience but you spent all your money on the console and overpriced games so you can't upgrade you systems.

[Lord Vader]

FINALLY !

Awesome news !!!

[Boldy]

I wouldn't take it as an official confirmation until we get a word from Remedy. Being that they don't say where they got the confirmation from it leaves room to question or they could know something we don't.

[BigKev45]

Confirmed by who?

[chrizzl0r]

Nobody - that's just rubbish. Remedy still says 'when it's done'.

[Rhezin]

and you need to die....slowly, ok now lemme spell it out for you dumb sh!ts XBOX 360 IS THE CHEAPER CHOICE, unless you want to upgrade your PC which will cost a lot more than any 360. Plus not all of us like PC games with f!cking mouses and keyboards. We are not all rich you ps3 spoiled brats. Only a couple of those titles will also play on PC. Iamps3 I bet your PC "friends" think your a little b1tch too. Scratch that, you have NO friends.

[Teijo]

hey rhezin go suck a dic,k

[TwissT]

Dammit why are these developers are releasing these great games in the beginning of the school year =(.

[Doctor Strange]

Remedy hasn't confirmed this yet so who knows when it will come out. I would love to see more info on this before people forget about it.

[ScottEFresh]

@ Chacron from Gamer Zone (didn't wanna start arguing in Gamerzone).

First of all GT5p isn't a DEMO. What kind of demo has access to over 50 cars, 12 different tracks and 16 player online??? Show me one and I will give you a prize.

HOME - you called me a delusional fanboy? Home is going to be used to play games, share videos/movies and share music.Ill be able to join any game with anyone I want through Home...now that doesn't sound like Second Life to me. Not to mention all the other stuff packed in there.

Killzone 2 - How are you predicting game scores before you've played it? There is NO DOUBT to anyone that it will be one of the best looking games ever released. Guerilla knows the hype behind the game and will deliver the goods.

HAZE - the only bad previews this game got was before NOVEMBER 2007 because it was glitchy and not running smooth hence why they delayed it and polished it too a glimmering shine...another AAA exclusive to add to the PS3 library. The HAZE confirmed for MAy 22 article even says the polished game "looks very promising".

And I can claim Motorstorm 2 will be a great game because Motorstorm 1 was a great game and they will do nothing but improve on the formula.

I don't disagree that M$ will not put up a fight but I think the PS3 has WAY too many good games and too much momentum going for it in 2008. 2008 is definitely the year of the PS3.

[CallOfWar22]

Most people already have computers. How much does it actually cost to get a graphic card to run these kinds of games? Ur better off buying an xbox cuz it cost a lot of money to own a high tech computer to run todays games. GEARS 2 HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED FOR PC UUUUU MORONSSSSSSSSSSS. Gears is not meant for PC. U can't play this game with a mouse, it doesn't work as well. If r gonna use a controller then u might as well get a 360 for a cheaper solution and have other great games. Lets see here, Ninja Gaiden 2, Left 4 Dead, Alan Wake, Banjo, Fable 2, Splinter Cell Conviction, GTA 4 with bonus content + Achievements + custom soundtracks = much better, Gears 2!!! Who says xbox is dead or doesn't have a line up as good as Sony? Lets see, Socoms have always been average? Killzone 1 sucked! Res 1 was descent, LBP could be a big flop or could be a sleeper, MGS4 will no doubt be great. If one or two of PS3s BIG Hitters flops or disappoints, it is Microsofts year once again. Especially with a price drop in the USA. Think about it.

[bootsielon]

Then I'm sold. If it IS an FPS, then they can shove it.

[Spike47]

funny how you fanboys list a list of ps3 exclusives and give one reason why it may suck.

I can do that too with all of Microsoft's games, but I won't because I am mature if not to know that people don't think the same way I do.

Alan Wake? coming in September and we don't know squat about it yet, on the other hand LBP is a casual game that is way more than a small tech toy.

Those who don't realize LBP's potential and unique gameplay are just eitehr fanboys or people who just don't know about the game.

OR MAYBE BOTH.

[vloeistof]

lol people here still trying to diss ps3 line-up lolol.

[power of Green]

Please if you're a rabid fanboy that has extra cash please buy MSFT's games on their PC platform makes no difference to me all you're doing is helping MSFT on the console front you're trying to downplay.

Dumb ass saying who needs a 360 as if average consumers will pay to sit in front of a PC for hours at a time.

[Diugu]

TheMart.

[ChefDejon]

rockstar made max payne, am i wrong?

[predator]

oh baby please let this be true

[etownone]

if this is true, sonyfans gotta admit, xbox has sure come a long way from the days when Halo was considered the only good exclusive game associated with xbox. And the line-up for 08 is looking sweet!!

360 - Splinter Cell 5, Halo Wars, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Gears 2, Banjo Kazokie, Too Human,

Being a 360 owner, the one game i'm looking forward to this year is Gears 2. I really beleive it is the game to own this holiday season. Its the follow up to 2006 GOTY, its got mass market appeal (toys, movie, books), and with MS mega-advertising campaign..... its going to have the kind of hype Halo 3 had last year.

[nitramn4g]

For me it's Fable 2 and Banjo3 (based on 1 & 2).

[Jack Bauer]

ZOMG, Finally a release month for this game... i have been looking forward to it since it was announced a loooooooooong time ago!!!

[Raptors]

Oh boy. Between my ps3 and 360 I'll be so broke that I won't be able to buy anyone Christmas gifts.

[bioshock]

WTF...which site this is?.....rumour.if it is going to im gona have it for ma PC.

[gixxxer]

The more games the better, im glad it's also for PC so I can test my new rig I get by that time!

[green]

Too Human,Banjo3,Fable2,GOW2,Halo Wars,Splinter Cell Conviction,Alan Wake and hopefully Infinite Undiscovery and those are just the console exclusives.

if this is true, then 08 is already looking better than 07.The diversity of games on the 360 this year is huge

[Cure]

i wont even start with wageslave stupid comments about KZ2 and LBP...

and every1 is saying that alan wake is exclusive to the 360???? its been announced that alan wake will be hitting the PC. so please explain how its exclusive to the 360?

i hate it when people make a list of "exclusive titles" for the 360 and half the list is coming out on a PC.

exclusive means that NO1 can play that game unless they own a 360 - thats exculsive.

sorry i just had 2 add my 2 cents regarding that.

[green]

Alan Wake is a CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE.Everybody knows that and it will be released for Vista as well under Microsoft Games for Windows and will utilize directx10 only.

Xbox fans are excited because this game will be one game that push the 360 to it's limit and will also be a genra defining game.

Good luck playing it under anything that dosen't have Microsoft attached to it.

[Whoooop]

It's multiplatform.. It's going to PC.

Deal with it.

I also didn't pay for Vista and I will not pay for Alan Wake if I decide to try it on PC. So no money to MS.

:)

[nitramn4g]

I can't anjoy it because it's also on PC. By the my PC does not support that game. I bought it 2 years ago and it would take me 300$ Graphcard + 80$ newPowerSupply. Gest which version I'm buying. I played Bioshock on my 360, I'm crazy I should of upgraded my PC!!! (sarcasim).

[green]

i can see you dont know how to read.Is PC a console?will you play it on a WII or PS3?

Did you read my comment at all?what is is about the word Vista you don't understand?Of course it's on the PC hence my refrence to vista and directx10 as stated by the devs in order to play it on the PC.and also you will need a quad core PC.

learn to read and understand peoples comments before you start typing away like an angry sony fanboy

[Whoooop]

I think you're the one who needs to read....

Fisrt of all... IT IS multiplatform if it's going to PC, but that's something you guys will never understand/admit.

and now on Vista... READ carefully my friend...

I didn't pay for vista... I downloaded it and I won't pay for Alan wake, I will download it. Understand???? or do you need bigger letters??

My PC can play Alan if I wanted to, but I won't give a dime to MS on my pc...

:)

get it??? or you need something more simple??

[power of Green]

LOL. The PS3 trolls are starting to flood in.

[NO_PUDding]

Ironic, contradictory, hypocritical....

All answers to the question I am asking about you. Now, guess what the question is. This rumour has been dubunked now anyway.

[power of Green]

Look another one!.

[Whoooop]

seems interesting, but sadly it won't be enough to compete this year with PS3's line-up... it just can't.

I also don't see Alan Wake selling that much. It will surpass the mil of course, but it will hit a wall before reaching 2 mil IMO.

Alan won't contribute much to keep up with PS3 sells this year. Hell, even Gears 2 will not make much of a difference in console sales.

Last year it couldn't even outsell the PS3 with ME, Bioshock, HALO3 and almost every single multiplatform running better...

This year it won't be any different... well the only difference is that the PS3 will outsell the 360 even more.

It's just common sense.

[The_Engineer]

if MS couldn't make a dent against Sony last year with their biggest titles ever for one of their consoles, WHAT ON EARTH are they going to do this year with a weaker lineup?? lol

Remedy already shot this rumor to hell and back, there IS NO september release date for this game and on top of that the only "screenshots" in existence are clearly from a PC build of the game. Like those hi-res textures?? volumetric lighting and shadowing?? well kiss that eye candy bye bye on the 3fixme.

[candystop]

This alone excites me more than any other game this year! If Conviction and Project Offset hit for 360 this year then Sony has no doubt lost it's edge for the year! I think E3 will change the view many people have for this year thanks to titles like this one and more on the way!

[Primetimebt]

Why does evey XBOX game to the PC?

[candystop]

Why does it and matter? And also MS wins wins regardless!

[nitramn4g]

you're right, people buy it on PC are also giving money to Microsoft. So all those ps3 fans (anti M$) are buying there games anyhow. Ironic.

[The_Engineer]

aaaaah the last refuge of an xbot, well we win cause you play it on pc....lol

what a load of utter horsedung, THE POINT OF THIS kiddies is for MS to outsell Sony IN CONSOLE sales!!!!!!!! get it?? comprende??

buying this game on PC IS NOT WHAT MS wants, they NEED to stop Sony and Nintendo from taking over the living room and the PC is not going to do that. Hell then again their crapbox wont stop it either but that is the reason it exists.

So keep sounding like retards with your 3rd grade logic while those of us with more experience, ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OF TECHNOLOGY, and far better taste in consoles enjoy our TRUE NEXT GEN PS3.

[candystop]

Awww look another sony fan sucker that thinks he knows what he talking about! Get a life seriously and quit worrying so much about MS! If you don't like them then move on and quit whining like a little b!tch seriously! Nobody cares about your one way view's and there's nothing superior about the PS3 at all as far as gaming is concerned! The PS3 fans are trying so hard to knock 360 it's ridiculous lol! This game regardless of it being on console or PC well help 360 slaughter that overratted lineup for PS3 this year!

[Boldy]

There sure is alot of xbox hate on this article. I wonder why?

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

A mix of Silent Hill & I AM LEGEND, HOLY SNIKES! BUTTTTTTTTTTTTT until M$ says whats what, I believe nothing.

[tony]

and alone in the dark.

[FirstknighT]

Oh yeah it's official. The 360 will have the better year in 2008. No question about that anymore. Gears of War 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, Alan Wake, Fable 2, Halo Wars, Spliner Cell Conviction, Left 4 Dead, etc...

Yeah Alan Wake is also on the PC but your going to need an expensive gamer rig to run at the same level as the 360. I know my PC won't be able to do that and I'm sure the majority of pc owners can't either.

[Whoooop]

Just like 2007 right??

360 tried last year and it couldn't capitalize..

This year is just a lost battle for the 360, from January till december.

In 2009?? all over again..... Just facts buddy

:)

[JokesOnYou]

Well the sony loyalists like to knock 360 games because micro is smart enough to make them available for the PC gaming crowd, the bottom line is the game is NOT available on PS3, which is why the sony crew has developed a knee-jerk reaction to spout off, "ha ha I can get it on PC",.....uhm so what, it will still sell a ton on 360 just like most of the other great 360/PC titles and ultimately its still another heavy-hitter in micro's corner.

Yeah, I agree with you Firstknight, it looks like micro is on course to deliver the best games yet again in 2008.

JOY

[Blademask]

Last time I checked, Gears/Bioshock/COD4/Half Life 2/All of the 360's "exclusive" titles all had medium specs to play the game in a higher resolution than the 360. You aren't going to need a crysis rig, not when it has to be made to run on a core 360 without a hdd.

Reality called. They want you to come back.

[zonetrooper5]

How in hell will I be able to afford a new PC to play Crysis and Far Cry 2?

Then get GTA IV, MGS4, Killzone 2, R2, BK3, GeoW2, LBP etc etc. I'm gonna be broke... =[

[candystop]

Well you are without a doubt a true gamer so good luck enjoying all of those experiences!

[sleepbox]

Though I am really looking forward to this one I am a bit weary about this article since there has been virtually nothing on this game for months.

[kewlkat007]

on this game and one of the devs...he was talking some serious sh!t with what this game will be like.

It's been so long since I've heard much about it but I did play MAX Payne when I used to be much more of a PC gamer and loved it.

I'll keep my eye out for this one..def, if only I can find that interview.

One thins is sure though: PS3 "ONLY" gamers will sure "Keep PC gaming Alive." PC = The other alternative to the Xbox 360.

Some flock to Consoles because they are "sick of the PC Upgrading cycle" but always happy to lend a hand at buying Xbox Console exclusive titles on the PC. PC gaming is going nowhere.

[WelshGunner]

What a month For gaming, Alan Wake, LBP and Killzone 2 Wooo

[tethered]

I agree.
Everyone that owns both systems should agree.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Wow the 360 08 lineup just exploded to that #1 spot in just a few short months.

[Iron Man 2]

LOL it's also on the PC like the rest of them,NOT exclusive you Xzombies!

And besides,what makes this game so special,you Xzombies are so grateful for anything you get on that Turdbox 360 in 2008,hmmm...I wonder why? oh yeah,NO good games in 2008 and on! Don't worry you guys still have Banjo...LMFAO!XD

The Slaystation 3 will own you all!!!

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

So you are going to play these PC games without "Microsoft Windows"?

You know "Windows" that operating system that is "required" to play PC games?

Yeah I'm with you man, lets "stick it" to Microsoft and get the PC version of these games. That will sure as hell teach em a lesson or two. <-- sarcasm

I'm just going to sign out with a "duuuh I'm a Droid and I'm a duh duh"

[ravinshield]

cause a computer is not a video game console

[DevastationEve]

I'll buy this one for sure. I mixes horor genre staples (wierd things that go wrong and you have to do something about it) with what i can say is the MOST contextual inventory system ever put to use in a game.

This is how games should progress, giving us something new and not just rehashed old generation concepts. I'd like a game that can step up to the plate when it comes to such innovations more than I wanna see Snake roll around in a barrel. I'm still picking up MGS4, but let's not be blind to the other great hits that come out as well. Alan Wake...man there goes a nother $60!

[DevastationEve]

Yes, I myself agree that Gran Turismo was always lacking in car damage. They call it The Real Driving Simulator, a title I won't argue with being a GT fan myself. And I'll nnever forget that awesome intro in the original with the chemical brothers BGM. Also, it had a one of my favorite soundtracks, including the cardigans and garbage.

But ever since then it's a 9shyof10 since they haven't innovated as much as they should, were they should. Forza2 wins, and since its physics engine is tailored to run @ 360fps, a car doing 180 gets 4 times as much physics fidelity as compared to a cars physics being refreshed @ 60fps. At that rate, a loss of precision for every foot makes it a quarter as precise.

And no car damage just means that you'll see the car as pretty the last lap as it was the first lap, which isn't real. It can't be a sim without consequences. Although you'll probably thank them for it during the replay, which I can see being the arguement against car damage.

[tethered]

I'm looking forward to this game.
I have been for a while now.

[realistgamer]

nice i was never really interested in this game but lately it's been catching my eye and since it's from the likes of remedy i really can't wait for this one.

[Blademask]

[Covenant]

No longer potential vaporware, but a looming reality. Can't wait!

EDIT: Damn...look at Blademask's post above. Major buzz-killer. Maybe we'll still see it before the end of the year.

[tethered]

Debunked per Blademask in Gamerzone.
http://www.n4g.com/industry...

Its too bad because this game looks great.

[Unknown]

I told alot of naysayers that MS doesn't just list a laundry list of titles to the public at the beginning of the fiscal year like SONY did. Whether that's a good thing or a bad thing is debatable. Truthfully I like both concepts, however if both SONY and MS choose to he same method for revealing their games, the year would be very boring due to a lack of surprises.
Now on to Alan Wake. When I first viewed the screenshots of the game a couple of months back, to say the least, I was underwhelmed. "WTF are all the people so excited about this game?" I kept asking myself. It wasn't until I seen the actual demo of the game that made me truly see the power that the 360 is capable of. This is not about proving the 360 superior to the ps3. This is about letting people know that the 360 certainly isn't maxed out.
I've been telling people that all because the 360 is PC like and easier to program for than the ps3(so some say), the triple core processor is STILL NEW to developers. At the time ALAN WAKE was revealed the team had JUST started to use all 3 cores on the 360. They stated that the game could only be run on the 360 because of this.(I'm not sure if thats true or just marketing)
I'm very excited about the release of this game and ask others who doubt the graphics quality to view the trailer of this. Oh and check out Warhound too. One love:)

[FirstknighT]

yo

[Cherchez La Ghost]

Even if this date is not true. Just take your time developing the game. No need to rush quality.

[Wozzer]

This game was beginning to follow the route of Duke Nukem Forever lol

[rootEXT]

ALAN WAKE!!!!!!!!! Great news!!!!!!!

Ninja Gaiden 2, Gears of War, now Alan Wake!!!!

Another great year for the x360

Just because a lot of games oare on PC, doesnt take anything away from Xbox. M$ ARE PC, just like sony are PS3rd and PSP.

The fact that a lot of Xbox games are on PC is a good thing!
Grow up sony nerds.

All the games i mentioned are M$ exclusive. Xbox/PC. That means, you sony fanboys can't get your greasy little hands on them without taking some M$ power up your route canal.

HA HA HA HA!
