Edge Interview: Writing Alan Wake

Psychological thriller Alan Wake was first announced at E3 2005. Since then, updates on the title's progress have been sporadic, but with the game finally due to hit shelves next spring – on Xbox 360, at least – Edge met with lead writer Sam Lake to talk about the current state of development, how Remedy's vision for the title has changed since its 2005 reveal, and the developer's ambitions for the franchise.

During the daytime the game is more open world but not completley sandbox.

It seems you can travel in the city, drive down the roads etc but at night the game takes the more chapter specific and linea path. It's a nice mix of both.

Yep and I for one think it sounds fantastic. Alan Wake, Conviction, and Mass Effect 2 make me a happy 360 owner. That screenshot with the bulldozer in it reminds me of the HR E3 gameplay video.

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.

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

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

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

Knightofelemia741d 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.

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? 🙄

Rynxie741d ago

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.

Rynxie741d ago

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

Asplundh741d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
