Wow, finally.

lol why show it at TGS when the japanese gamers don't give a crap about this game? haha, it's going to be ignored.

Well they're spreading out the game information. I mean, E3 was awful by all companies, however I think MS had the best of the three. TGS and E3 are the main gaming events and I think that it's wise not to put all your eggs in one basket.

I thought it said Alan Wake Confirmed for PS3.

"Be a face in the game"

That's pretty cool though.

:)

I'm interested in this game... want to see footage already.

Well, it's about time Alan Wake has surfaced, but I'm afraid one of the only games that will matter at the Tokyo Game Show is FFXIII, possibly Team ICO's new game, and other games by Japanese studios. Japanese developed games will be getting the spotlight at TGS from Japanese gamers, Alan Wake should have been at E3.

whats so great about this game dude face looks like ps2 graphics pushed to the limits

i posted this yesterday

:(

Alan Wake has not been shown for a very adequate reason. That reasoning is that Remedy simply cannot excercise their creative vision because of the bottlenecked and gimped hardware that Xbox 360 presents. TGS will be the showcase for Alan Wake to finally display new levels of embarassment that will be on the same wavelength as the garbage and laughable Xbox 360 exclusive, Too Human.

On to other news, here's the TGS weather report.

Dark Sniper can assure you that the forecast for TGS looks to have cloudy skies, with mid to low 70's temperature and a great chance of Heavy Rain.

$niper

not to show that at E3 and decide to show it at the Tokyo Game Show. It's going to be ignored by the local press there.

Not to burst anyone's bubble, but this contest ended MARCH 2007. This may not be reliable info.

those guys should have shown it to a western audience where it is most appealing, TGS is a plays for Japanese developers and co to show off mostly RPGS and anime and all that, Microsoft made a mistake because the other games that will be shown will completely overshadow it :/ im a PS3 fanboy and i was actually interested in this game..

Thanks microsoft...time for a petition?

*breathes sigh of relief*

At least we know its still in development, I thought it was canned or something. I've been waiting for some new info for a long time, just a little more.

What The Phuck Are they Thinking, showing it for PC?!?!?

I can't wait...Alan Wake looks freakin' sweet.

no this game will rrod me for the love of god keep it hidden

...did this get approved ????

This is CLEARLY more than a year old, since it's a contest to "celebrate the launch" of Vista. If people would learn to read, the world would be a better place. IDIOTS. :o

Can't wait for this game and Too Human doesn't look bad at all

And by the way DarkSniper you're an idiot

The game is under intense development. I know since I'm from Finland. I tried to post an interview of Ilkka Villi, the actor behind Alan Wake character couple of months ago, but the story got disapproved.

umm....I'm pretty sure they are going to show it off for PC, not the 360. At least that's my assumption based on the fact its revolving around Vista.

PC demo. No 360 footage. Wait and see.

I suck at it very hard

FFXIII goes to 360

E3 is teh lame

ALan western wake at TGS

I anticipated none of these things

Microsoft is actually finally coming out of their Idea that they are Gods of Gaming and tech and expect all gamers to kneel before them regardless of the hundreds of crap games that grace my Xbox 360 and resurrection of burn out sequels............

They are actually competing and making smart, business decisions.

Sony obviously is holding out on all their big gun exclusives til the bitter end which is not a bad move; considering Microsoft threw everything out on the table and then some only to find out that most their attacks only put a scratch on Sony while they securely hide in their bunkers for the right moment........

I am sure even Sony is taken back by the 180 degree marketing turn Microsoft has initiated since E3......

However, I believe for Microsoft that its too little to late but Microsoft has it right here. Japanese love Survival horror (or horror in general) and Microsoft finally realize that Sony has been in their bunkers waiting with all their Massive Weapons of Destruction that are their Exclusive Games (that take PS3 and gaming to the next level).

Microsoft needs to defend themselves and so Halo 4, Gears of War2, and Alan Wake are their defense. I believe Microsoft will probably bunker down themselves a little and we won't see much from them this year. However, Sony has the momentum this year and still hasn't unleashed their really good stuff yet to the public which will be next year.

Sony has put themselves in a good position. Despite Microsoft's big 3 to 5 really good titles for 2009 that could go head to head with Sony, more than likely, Sony will be able to hold their momentum thru 2009. Then if and that is a BIG IF, Microsoft can Slow the Juggernaut down. Sony still has room on the HARDWARE side to play around:

(such as a Slim down PS3 with perhaps upgraded components such as UltraWideBand (UWB) Bluetooth and USB 3.0)

that would improve functionlity of the PS3 without changing the architecture. Heck, Sony could even add more memory and change the RSX to accept GDDR5 memory (effectively increasing the Bandwidth even if it stays at the Same amount of Memory: See AMD/ATI strategy for details as to why this works) and still would improve how the PS3 works without significantly changing the entire architecture and render any attempt at Microsoft coming out with a new system useless - especially if Sony also drops the price $100 too .....

Heck, if Microsoft is feeling the heat and is coming in a strong 3rd place more and likely they will come out with a new Xbox Christmas 2010; 4 years after the Xbox 360 and just use the excuse that this was planned from the beginning (same length of time the original Xbox was on the market)

Microsoft is doing the right thing here but not sure they can dig themselves out of the whole, this round even with the Mighty Xbox 360.....

This article is a year old.
Wtf? this was for a contest about vista or something.
who aproves this sh!t?

This game will be tight

...it turns out to be a AAA good quality product. This is the game I was hoping would rear up it's head and waves it's hands and say, "I'm here, remember me?!"

Alan Wake will be their kind of game, I mean they like games like Silent Hill, Resident evil why not showcase AW over there? Also TGS is for Asia not just japan, and outside of Japan specifically in Korea the 360 is the number 2 gaming system right behind the PC over there. Once again it only appeals to a niche crowd, but to the guys over there who are former pc gamers, or don't have enough bread to keep up with their pc gaming buddies the 360 is a nice alternative.

especially if it turns out like Dark Sector, that got so much hype, and then boom falls flat on its face.

I want to see some gameplay footage and hear possibly a release date. If the Japanese don't care about great video games then that is their cultural problem.

Alan Wake Confirmed to destroy anything TEH Cell can do.

But really, this article means nothing. A stupid, hidden side note about an Alan Wake contest? lol. That means nothing. If it will be shown at a pointless, garbage show like TGS, they would have made a huge fuss about it already.

Fail.

It's a competition from last year, ergo, it's fake. Click the link to the competition through the link. The date for entry was 31 May 2007.

As everybody can see this game have nothing to do with the real exclusives of PlayStation® 3 and with the mediocre xbox 360 hardware we can wait inferior graphics just like Failbe2 and all the other xbox 360 mediocre exclusives.

play b3yond

You wouldn't though, would you?

Why waste money on a game where Alan Wake isn’t in it for a good part of the game. Also, since you don’t own the game and they can cut you off at anytime why would you buy that many. Unless she was going to resell them for a profit, charity give away, or something like that.

" two boxes of Alan Wake download codes" On Ebay no less. That's something you should should be downright embarrased to admit. That's dumb as F. Two boxes of Alan Wake download codes Achievement Unlocked.

All stores have game code cards. None are active until scanned and paid for. Why would she think the cards are active? Idiot.

Sucker

Card No.1....Doh
Card No.2....Doh
Card No.3....Doh
.........................
Card No.4....Doh

What an idiot, the cards don't activate unless you scan them at a register. Did she really think stores would leave thousands of dollars on kiosks for the taking? LOL
