Split-screen.com writes: "I find it odd, though not unreasonable, for most people to assume Wake to arrive this year. After all, in April 2007, Remedy predicted a 2008 release for the game. On October 15 2008, a new trailer was instead showcased at the Max Payne Convention. It was slickly produced, even if the graphics did not generate a 'Hot-damn!' this time around. All the scenes show-cased may not necessarily be in the final game, whether as cut-scenes or even gameplay. The same case occurred with Halo 2, for example, however, Alan Wake, in a gamer's eyes, is not even a game yet."
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."
Remedy has announced a new Alan Wake book and more as part of their anniversary celebration.
Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.
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.
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
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? 🙄
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.

There's great games coming out in the mean time!
I'd really like to play Alan Wake so I'm hoping 2009.
Im willing to wait if it means they will deliver max payne quality with this game. People were willing to wait for killzone 2 and look how its turning out. Patience...patience my dear friends.
