Square-Go: Alan Wake Preview

In a world where light and dark can either be friend or foe, Alan Wake is based on a bestselling author who's suffering from severe writers block. His wife proceeds to take him on holiday to Bright Falls, a sleepy little town deep in the Elderwood National Park, Washington in order to restore his creative flow. Shortly after their arrival however, Wake's wife disappears and things discernibly take a turn for the worse. Pages of Wake's latest work start to crop up around town, work he can't even remember writing, then the words on the pages start to come to life as a dark presence is unleashed upon the town. This poltergeist takes over everything in its path; people, animals and even inanimate objects such as vehicles and machines.

Alan Wake graphically impressive game which will be another showcase title for Microsoft and for the non believers what's possible on xbox360.

Let's take heavy rain for instance while it's a average game and graphics hide behind a blurry effect through out the game. Alan Wake graphics are sharp and doesn't need to use the blur effect which proves Alan Wake graphically is superior.

Just a heads up but why do we keep getting Alan Wake stories in the PC section ? As far as I am aware the PC version has been effectively cancelled.

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

Knightofelemia437d 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? 🙄

Rynxie436d 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.

Rynxie436d ago

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

Asplundh436d 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.
