New Alan Wake interview - New info revealed

Norwegian gaming website gamer.no has posted a new interview with Alan Wake developer Oskari Häkkinen. The interview contains lots of new info.

Superduper096277d ago

Wow this game looks good and it looks like the game will have an interesting plot.

Acidicpack6277d ago (Edited 6277d ago )

Yes it looks good but will it ever come out? Now that's the real question. I used to be looking forward to seeing this game hit the store shelves. But its taken them so long I would rather just pass. After 3 long years of waiting I have lost all interest.

Now if MS gives us a release date and some in-game footage it could very well change my mind.

Superduper096277d ago

Unfortunately, some games do take a long time to develop. It's just a fact of life. You know like the Final Fantasy series, RE series, GT series, etc.

II Necroplasm II6277d ago

and only 30 people working on the game.

Doctor_Doom6277d ago

This game is going to be Huge

Acidicpack6277d ago (Edited 6277d ago )

True and I understand that good games take time to develop. But we the public have not heard jack about this game in over 3 years. If the developers cant tell us about the game after it was announced over 3 years ago then something is wrong.

Superduper096277d ago

Maybe MS wants to save all the info on this game for this year's E3. Who knows.

FlameBaitGod6277d ago

Pretty sure the game will be good, M$ has barely talked about it and i know they want this game to be a hit. M$ likes to surprise people, not announce things and let people wait months for it, know any company like that?

beans6277d ago

I personally like lover development time games kept in secretcy. As soon as they finally start to show some stuff we will all be thankful that they took the time to really impress. It sucks but this is what it takes sometimes.

talltony6277d ago

want to see more of this game. Its been a long time in the making so I hope its good.

thewhoopimen6277d ago

Looking forward to checking out this title. Seems like it will be a strong contender to Heavy Rain in terms of story. From the article though, it does say that the developer controls how the weather is going to be... meaning either weather will change depending on what area you go to or weather will be a certain way during triggered scenarios. Either way, will be interesting to take a look at.

Spydiggity6277d ago

You know, when the movie Psycho was release, nobody knew what to expect. and that's why it was so popular. it caught ppl off guard. there are lots of situations in entertainment where ppl have to keep quiet. and i think it's a good thing. one thing i can't stand now is that there is so much media coverage of gaming. so many websites trying to get exclusive interviews, and first reviews, etc...
there should be more secrecy in gaming. i don't like knowing plots and back stories before i get a game, i want to experience it fresh.

with that said, maybe companies should think twice about announcing games so early. just work on the title, let small amounts of info leak, and if ppl want to read that info, let em. it would do a lot for gaming if we stopped over hyping things for months of even years before they come out.

ReservoirDog3166277d ago

very true,

I hated that we got so much back story before MGS4 came out. We should have all started it and asked "why is snake so old" but by the time we played it, we were already so used to him being old that the thought really never came up.

On topic though, Alan Wake sounds really interesting

any gameplay footage ? please ?
Or rather let the footage clarify the all forever question and curiosity ? No ?

SasanovaS7776277d ago

just dont expect the 360 footage

Ischan6277d ago

My expectation of this title has long gone.
Giving away still pict just can't do it now.
I just hope Alan Wake can live out the night.

fredy6277d ago

alan wake articles. we get your point. but i bet you'll be back.

divideby06277d ago

I just hope this game breaks the trend of games being in extended development are usually failures

Leio6277d ago (Edited 6277d ago )

Yeah me too. some one have to break it xD especially in time like this ...

Droid Control6277d ago

Good to see everyhting is coming together and very close to completion. I can't help lament the fac tthat they sold the rights to the Max Payne series to help fund this game though.

I feel Rockchav is going to srew that classic series up. I would have been great that, if after finishing Alan Wake, Remedy then went back and completed the Max Payne trilogy on next gen consoles...

A Late Look: Alan Wake

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."

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.

gigoran8777d ago

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

jznrpg189d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto776d 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

Knightofelemia777d 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.

Chocoburger777d 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? 🙄

Rynxie777d ago

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

Profchaos777d 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.

Rynxie777d ago

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

Asplundh777d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
