Confusion over Alan Wake release date, Not 2008 but 2009?

It seems there is some confusion about Alan Wake's release date, amid suggestions that Remedy's title may slip into 2009.

Microsoft's Don Mattrick had stated in a memo sent out to Microsoft's Xbox staff that Remedy's highly promising game would be one of the 360's big-name exclusives for 2008.

However, according to Jeux-France.com sources within the Finnish developer are now claiming that the earliest we'll see the game is 2009.

LETS just laugh at this sony site for submitting th false info as we already know its 2008 game cry more trolls alan wake is better than any game coming out for any system

hazeblaze6372d ago

You all act as if this would be the first time executives from any of the three companies were wrong, or misleading, about release dates. Microsoft also misled us on the release dates of Forza 2 & Mass Effect, so this wouldn't be anything new.

At any rate, the devs of the game are to be trusted more than MS execs.... MS execs are reaching to have ANY blockbuster titles for 2008, so of course they want Alan Wake to land in '08. I think it's the only exclusive game most of us will be looking forward to in '08 on the 360... maybe Halo Wars too. Still pretty skeptical of Too Human, but it might be decent too. But no matter how you look at it, we need more games for 08.

Laexerias6372d ago (Edited 6372d ago )

anything of this game, so, yeah it will be the best game ever, like Halo 3, Forza Motorsports, PG5, Mass Effect and every other Xbox360 Game, dude, u are not a gamer, u are a psycho who lives in his own sick world.

sonarus6372d ago

i really hope it comes out in 08 i want to see the gameplay also this is probably the best looking game for the box going into 08 and it dosent seem like they have that much

MrWonderful6372d ago

what if this is the first party exclusive being developed for the next xbox. you think they might have moved it over to the new system?

FordGTGuy6372d ago (Edited 6372d ago )

doesn't look like a sequel to me.

Edit-
You guys who are disagreeing are such fanboys. They said the game put on the next xbox was a sequel.

Swatfish6372d ago

..need alan wake 2008 when MS don´t want to lose this year.

InYourMom6372d ago

The 360 has plenty of titles and don't need Alan Wake if they want to take their time and get it right.

Now excuse me while I go look at the sales numbers.. Oh, look here.. Sony is last place and you want to tell me the 360 has already lost?? LOL! Go watch a BR movie or play duderaider or the 1 other good game on the PS3. What is it called Metal of Honor with Aliens?? Oh no, that's Resistance Fall of Man, it's an easy mistake to make sorry about that.

Chaos Striker6372d ago

No, I'm pretty sure everyone refers to Resistance as Resistance. So, your the only moron who actually does that. In terms of watching Blu-ray movies...we can, so what's your point? I do not think it really matters that the PS3 is a multi-media device. Apparently your the one who screams and whines about it's numerous abilities, when that is actually a good thing?

NeonSkull6371d ago

You know i was saying they have lost 08, if you think ms will outdo sony this year your deluded. in 09 whos knows.

It looks like an interesting game but I honestly don't think that it'll be a AAA hit in sales like we've seen with, for example, Bioshock. It'll most likely be highly rated, but I can't see it matching FPS sales.

InYourMom6372d ago

because you are a Sony droid. You are the most subtle troll on this site. You would say you don't think this game is going to do much, even though it has the pedigree of REMEDY working on it.

Chaos Striker6372d ago (Edited 6372d ago )

*cough* hypocrite *cough*

Take a look at your avatar then look at what you wrote. I think the connection between the 2 says it all.

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.

gigoran8429d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto428d ago

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

Knightofelemia429d 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.

Chocoburger429d ago

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? 🙄

Rynxie429d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos429d ago

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.

Rynxie429d ago

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

Asplundh429d 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.
