Alan Wake developer(s) at San Francisco (GDC possible)

Earlier today a staff member from the developers of Alan Wake posted a message on their own forums. One of the members asked "how is the weather over there" assuming that he was at GDC.

MarkusRMD a staff member from Remedy Entertaiment answered:
"Oh, San Francisco is sunny but a bit chilly in the evenings"

As we all know, GDC is at San Francisco. Could these really be the moment we have waited for? Or just a tease?

[AnttiApina]

Here is the post: http://www.alanwake.com/for...

I am pretty sure it's going to be shown.

[HighDefinition]

They better be. Should be cool to see ALOT of footage from it.

[highfoot]

Well, developers goes to GDC without having an announcement to make you know. But it could be true that they are going to, we have to wait and see.

[SL1M DADDY]

Don't just bring another tech demo. Show us some game play!

[crazy-eyez-killah]

They are game developers, it would make sense they would go to a game developers conference.. Doesn't mean they will show anything - I doubt they will until at least E3. I hope I am wrong though.

[JeffGUNZ]

I think they will reveal Alan wake at GDC with a release date this year. I think at E3, this "Dark Corners" talk from Gears 2 is going to be a down loadable expansion for Gears 2, just like GTA did. I hope not, because EPIC has ruined Gears 2, but I wouldn't put it past the greed of microsoft and EPIC.

[sonarus]

Circumstantial evidence off a forum post is not news. There are tons of developers that go to GDC since its a DEVELOPERS conference. The presence of ONE alan wake developer doesn't confirm or deny anything so it doesn't stand as news

[Lifendz]

and I know most 360 owners are as well.

[himdeel]

...I waited for Alan Wake to come to the house and say, "Hi!" or at least let me know how he was doing. And now that I don't have a 360 anymore he's basically decided to stop by take me out to dinner and pay for the meal but I'm away on vacation :(

I really want to see some gameplay. @ Lifendz some non-360 owners are excited too.

[IcarusOne]

How did Epic ruin Gears 2?

[Brock Danger]

Hows was Gears 2 ruined? Kind of a ridiculous thing to say.

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

Easy - Gears1 was a hell of a lot more fun than gears2. Gears2 feels like it has too much influence from Unreal Tournament, its so random, especially with all the crazy weapons they introduced.

In Gears1 the gameplay was just better. There was more cat and mouse action going on, more strategy. The map design complemented the gameplay so much better.

The new Gears just feels like a spamfest, the servers are feel more unstable, and the game modes are annoying. Plus there is just something about the graphics that seem off. They're just too busy, like its trying to hard to be flashy.

[bullswar]

I waited for it so long ... I don't want this game anymore. Even if it gets 9.8, I wont buy it. Damn if I would have waited this long for Eva Mendez, she woul've been my girlfriend ... lollll.

[1 HiT KiLLZ]

Nar it's not gonna happen. I think our dear Alan is still sleeping. Better wait till E3 xbasement girls.

[BX81]

Although kind of funny to see you spell in a 2nd grade manner, I highly doubt you kick anyones a$$ in real life. If this was the case you would be talking trash to someone in the real world, not the net. Good luck with tracing the letters in class with the fat crayon.

[JeffGUNZ]

First off, your spelling is awful and you still use "lol". Second, you're obviously some nerdy teenager who gets picked on a lot, due to the fact you try to sound tough on an online message board. Lastly, you clearly have no life if you use this site just for trolling. I mean come on, if you're not interested in real video gaming news, then why waste time to; A) Make an account, B) Post comments, C) Add a user pick. Grow up.

[QSPR]

you guys get this game (yes I'm a PS3 fanboy) but this game looks good and I hope M$ bring new Ip's and some nice XLA games for the fight.

we know PS3 has a nice line up for 09, waiting for M$ and Ninti. this console war is GREAT!!! the best of all times

[poeo]

it's NOT that great if you dont own all of the consoles... i personally have missed quite a lot of good games and it makes me sad :(

[QSPR]

to own all 3 consoles but been bored of my Wii and give it to my nephew and my 360 die 2 times and 1 disc error. but all consoles are great and if you can see this gen Micro and Sony are fighting real hard for the second place and this fight is not over and I think (for me) both are #1.. well Ninti is another story.... but soon I'm gonna get another 360 and myabe a Wii.

[mesh1]

i like hereing how ppl are sayin gps3 has a nice lineup for 09 haha there are no games for ps3 in 09 except killzone 2 which has been re;eased already. dont evwen try and say god of war 3 as that 2010 confirmed

[1 HiT KiLLZ]

Hahaha tipical delusional xbot turd. Keep that M$ c*ck infested mouth shut and bend over for billy boy.

[Chrisy]

Well to be fair they count the individual AAA KZ2 reviews from IGN, gamespot, 1UP............as real games.

You know like:

KZ2 IGN AAA review = 1 AAA PS3 game for 09
KZ2 Gamespot review = another AAA PS3 game for 09
......

This is what happens when you company of choice only delivers 1 decent game every 3 years. After years of failure they have absolutely no more options but to fake and bluff how their lineup is superior yet its as bleak as PS3 07 and 08.

Anyways should be awsome. Sadly Max Payne3 will suffer quality wise without Remedy

[JeffGUNZ]

So do you try to sound that nerdy, or is that actually the way you speak?

[1 HiT KiLLZ]

LOL @ ^^^

Dude i just love getting you N4F@gs riled up. You nerds make it too easy. I kick loosers like you a$$ on a weekly basis. This place is just a luagh-a-minute place for me lol.

[Chrisy]

The hillbilly selfowned himself:\ He makes a perfect N4G sony F@G

[heyheyhey]

you all sound like morons.... especially mesh1, the guy still hasn't learned how to spell or read

[ClydeRadcliffe]

Here's hoping! We've been waiting for something concrete to drool over for far too long. Is there any way it can possibly live up to the expectations we've built up for it though?

[xdye017]

Will MS talk again at GDC?

[Nelson M]

.

[Ko_Uraki]

I want to believe

[fire23]

Too bad it is just probably being in the crowd. They never registered for a booth, and if MS went they have no where to just "appear" on stage.

[Fishy Fingers]

Hope they show something. I'm excited to see what they've been so secretive of :)

[II Necroplasm II]

I think they are just waiting for the time of a media blowout for the game.

Plus all 30 members of the dev team are working hard.

[LTC]

.

[Jadaking]

Soo...

[OmarJA]

.

[bob saget remix]

But I wouldn't really fall for the hype. It could fail to deliver.

[BX81]

Waiting to see some game play.

[euchreprof]

And now we will finally get the proof later on.

[SonyRulz]

I'll take a TRUE 3-D action/survival horror game, over a linear Quick-time marathon, ANY day.

[u got owned]

where in the article is Heavy Rain mentioned?

[PirateThom]

I like that people are still believing Heavy Rain is all quick time events.

[N4PS3G]

well...their past games are all QTE

[Raoh]

their games were QTE in the past but the entire game is not played in QTE in a marathon.

i hope comments like that about heavy rain arent an attack just cause heavy rain is on ps3.

their last game indigo prophecy/farenheit (which by the way is probably one of the best games every made in the history of gaming) was released for both the ps2 and the xbox.

[Brock Danger]

But apparently you've never played any other of David Cage's games.

Kinda known for lofty ideals that get smashed to pieces by the brutal realities of making games. Oh, and gameplay has certainly been the weakest link in his previous attempts, which is why they fall back on QTE. Heavy Rain will be no exception, just hope it's better than Fahrenheit.

[Condemnedman]

Lets hope it's not another alone in the dark" :{ The ps3 fanbois will love that (I do own a ps3)

[kalel114]

To see some game play. Is that a pic from Wake? I thought it was from Red Wood or something.

[OSIRUSSS]

Of Course the Alan Wake developers are at the GDC. They want to play Infamous like everybody else.I don't blame them.

[KingKionic]

YESSSSSSSSSSS! alan wake! remedy just show a 30 second game clip thats all i ask.

[mastiffchild]

IDK just why some games seem to slip in and out of view like this one does. It's like Wardevil and Huxley among others that appear now and again qwith assurances they're coming then nothing for a year til it happens again.

I'd love to see something real from them, some gameplay or a date for release but I've been stung far too often to hold my breath. Was Huxley canned? I kept up with it while I first had a 360 but lost touch when it finally died for good and only got another lately so maybe I missed some big announcements but it did, like AW, look pretty sweet.

[IaMs12]

if i heard correctly Huxley is being beta tested in Korea as we speak. Im not sure if it fell through our not but thats what i have heard.

[euchreprof]

... cuz Xbox 360 cannot handle high definition graphics.

[OneShotThrill]

for a reason to spark up my 360 into overdrive again..plz MS feed us something!!!!!

[Raoh]

its a developer convention.

so i'm assuming they are hoping to see a good engine they can lease so they can start making Alan Wake.

good strategy, i applaud them.

[Art]

Yeah. Imagine that. A game developer being present at a game developers conference. Confirmed - Alan Wake to be demoed!
Sheesh the author is a tool.

[AnttiApina]

What? I only said that the staff of Remedy is right now on San Francisco and there is a small chance that they will show the game to the audience.

[No Way]

:O Hopefully they show somethin!

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Alan Wake is a fascinating concept for a game, really looking forward to see how it pans out.

[Marquis_de_Sade]

The open zone is great, if you think you're having troubles with your life, it's always heartening to see things certainly can get worse.

[XLiveGamer]

Alan Wake the FnCK UP already!

[In-cognito]

I'm not holding my breath though.

[DecayingMadness]

you should hold your breath because I just farted and it smells real bad.
