Yeah I'm sure that'll stick.

cyguration5964d ago

There is a release date.

Geesh, I was starting to think this game would end up retiring as a geriatric concept in the retirement home of games that never were.

Bnet3435964d ago

Five years of development wow. Hope this game is good. I'm down with any type of horror game.

EvilCackle5964d ago

Nah, I think this date will stand. The game looks pretty much complete. I like that they didn't give it a holiday release. New IP's just don't do too hot when they're competing against Call of Duty and all those other sequels.

Imalwaysright5964d ago

And yet the best games of this generation imo are new IPs: Mass Effect, U2, GeOW, LBP, Bioshock, Demons Souls, Dead Space, ... RE5, GTA4, SCIV , Tekken, ... were a huge disappointment to me.

Nikuma5964d ago

Hmmm I dunno if it's smart to have a collectors edition on a game no one knows they're gonna like. If I bought a collectors edition of a new game and ended up not liking the game, I'd be kind of pissed I have all this extra crap for nothing plus I paid more.

Oh well I'm sure dumb people who buy into the hype will waste their money on it.

MSFT must have some killer apps for the second half of the year with so many games coming in the first few months of this year. E3 is going to be off the hook. These games plus Natal will make it challenging for MSFT, when it comes to keeping up with 360 supply demands at retail at the end of this year.

Still a ways away but I can wait a few more months.

swiftshot935964d ago

Alan Wake, Halo Reach, Splinter Cell, Mass Effect 2>>>>Bioshock, Mass Effect, Halo 3 etc...

Lord_Ranos5964d ago (Edited 5964d ago )

Alan Waits finally gets a release date. lol

Sonyslave35964d ago

Yes Alan Wait finally got a release date but what about GT wait 5 lol I remember when PD said they can release the game any time they want and it got delay aahahhahahah.

Major_Tom5964d ago

Now, this is a story all about how
Alan wake got flopped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became a game tester for this flop right here

In Remedy America played and made
In the gaming lounge was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all killing zombies in sandbox styled school
When a couple of devs
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my c++ compiler
I got in one little fight and my agency got scared
And said 'You're movin' with your corps and crew to Fin-Land'

I begged and pleaded with them day after day
But they packed my PS3 and send me on my way
They gave me a reimbursement and then they gave me my ticket.
I put my iPad on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First line of code... yo this is bad
Drinking Bawls Guarana out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Fin-Land Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear there're prissy, xbox fanboys and all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool ps3 preferred cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the Max Payne of Fin-Land

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like Aaron Greenberg standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get fired yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared faster than Microsoft's NPD

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said Xbox and it had Banjo Kazooie in the mirror
If anything I can say that this cab was RARE
But I thought 'Nah forget it' - 'Yo homes to Espoo'

I pulled up to the suite about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes flop ya later'
I looked at my desk
I was finally there
To beta test Alan Wake, I could tell this was gonna be the king of despair

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.

gigoran8786d ago

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

jznrpg199d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto786d 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

Knightofelemia787d 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.

Chocoburger786d 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? 🙄

Rynxie786d ago

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

Profchaos786d 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.

Rynxie786d ago

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

Asplundh786d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
