Alan Wake is best when it's ending. That's a compliment. The game hits an aesthetic high whenever one of its episodes draws to a close, with a stark title screen and a cut of music that's perfect for the moment.
CVG: Kirby looks set to make his return in a Wii game in the next 12 months as Hoshi No Kirby (Kirby Of The Stars) has appeared on Nintendo's latest release schedule.
The new schedule was released as part of Nintendo's Financial Results Briefing and Hoshi No Kirby appears alongside the Legend Of Zelda (Temp) in the list.
However, the release dates for both games are listed as TBA and neither appears in the Europe or US sections of the schedule. It's also worth pointing out that Hoshi No Kirby also appeared in last year's Financial Results Briefing.
The 90-minute DLC continues immediately after where the main game ends, offering a chance to beef up that abrupt “conclusion”
Whatever happen to Remedy? Are they still an independent developer
Yes, after Alan Wake they moved on to launch Quantum Break, and currently are working on a new game with no systems announced for it.
They went multiplatform so as a PlayStation 4 owner I'm looking forward to what they bring out.
@solidsnake while you are entitled to your opinion, Alan wake was one of the best games of last gen.
Maybe it's just a physical game they play in the studio. Like tag or hide and seek.
The Signal and The Writer don't just offer clarity they are the continuation and true ending of the game. I love that game but I'm not a fan of the practice of DLC conclusions. This game, Dead Space 3, Dead Rising 4 others I can't quite remember.
I think this game was an example of something with a full blown sequel planned but MS dictated that they'd only be willing to fund dlc and a smaller game.
Had the game been more successful I think we'd have seen an Alan Wake 2 by now.
Loved this game... ms had so many great games last gen and gen before that, sadly i could only imagine what it would of been like with the 1x with sequels like this game and perfect dark, brute force, ninja Gaige now would be insane! Crimson skies, kameo...
Damn ms why you gave up on so many great franchises? I’m sure I’m missing many more games!
The two expansion packs for Remedy Entertainment's 2010 Xbox 360 thriller Alan Wake are now free. You can grab The Signal and The Writer on Xbox Live right now at no cost.
I think they do require Alan wake. On the Xbox site it says "This add-on works with Alan wake".
American nightmare is the only one that's independent.
You are correct, Spicelicka, both free episodes are add ons to Alan Wake. American Nightmare is the only stand alone. Interesting thing I noticed while looking the content up though... There's a 6 episode, live action prequel called Bright Falls on the marketplace I didn't know they made. I'm thinking about ckecking it out but I want to read into it a bit more.
Cool does anyone know when they will send codes out for those who preordered quantum break I still havent got mine and want to play american nightmare after I am done with it. Quantum break has been great so far
american nightmare took 2weeks after I preorderd QB and Alan Wake is 7-10 days after release of QB
Did that game do well? I remember playing it at a friends and being so surprised that it doesn't have more recognition.
Ouch :O
Everyone else for the most part is giving it great reviews. It is no surprise that Eurogamer is giving a lower score, like it does for most things.
Its free....
so its all good imo unless this seems like it should of been part of the retail copy. Good on MS for allowing this to be free even if their hands were pushed. Credit where its due
when will silver members be able to dl it??
It's free? Why bother reviewing something that's free.
Some one said this line before, "Being free doesn't give it a license to suck ass." Maybe the tough score is justified.
