I thought they already had an ending and it was supposed to be something we've never seen in a game before?

3sq5967d ago

Well they also said it was an open-world sandbox game. :P

WMW5967d ago

they had to say something to keep people interested after 5 years of waiting.

alphakennybody5967d ago

So pretty much comfirme episodic DLC?

Saaking5967d ago

If it sells well, MS will start milking it. If it doesn't do as well, there may be a sequel, but knowing how greedy MS is there probably won't be.

ryhanon5967d ago

The more they flap their lips about this game the less interested I become. A few months ago this sounded like a great game I couldn't wait to get my hands on and now, a few months from release, it sounds like an incomplete experience that I'm more likely to avoid.

Active Reload5967d ago

It will more than likely end with...a 360 controller in someone's hand...I guarantee.

Hisiru5967d ago (Edited 5967d ago )

They are probably talking about the entire series and not the first game, since they said that this game will probably become a franchise.

And "things to change along the way" is extremely relative.

"How Alan Wake as a WHOLE will end?". Yeah, they are probably talking about the franchise, the first game already has an end.

multipayer5967d ago

Maybe Alan discovers he is stuck in the board game called Jumanji.

ryhanon5967d ago

That may very well be true, but hearing that they're basically making things up as they go along instead of having the core story mapped out ahead of time, does not give me much hope for the future of this franchise.

The game still looks great, my concern stems only from the continually baffling comments they make about it. I think they'd be better served to just shut up and let the game speak for itself.

hops2cents5967d ago

repeat after me Remedy, "a-m-a-z-i-n-g", "The end will be amazing".

Jeez, where's the PR help for these guys, i did not need to know they're wingin it. But whatever, still gonna get it.

Hisiru5967d ago

Well, I agree with you on everything you said.

we won5967d ago (Edited 5967d ago )

Hi Alan Wake, welcome to the 360 exclusive club bash fest hosted by PS3 fanboys. Even the PC fanboys are getting in on this joining PS3 fanboys. I guess everybody wanted to play this and PS3 fanboys wanted to use PC as an excuse to discredit the game- if they were not planning on buying it on PC.

#2 is the only person in here that knows what he is talking about.

A Cupcake for Gabe5967d ago

I was very much hyped for this until I found out it wasn't an open world mystery game, and it was a flashlight killing, silent hill rip..

and the more I hear about how Alan Wake is bigger than the friggin' "fives years of development" 360 game, I am turned away even more. Alan Wake is becoming more and more, an uninteresting game out side some nice lighting. But I'll get a great game with sweet lighting and fun in another 360 game called Splinter Cell Conviction..If I'm not busy playing Last Gaurdian, Heavy Rain, FFXIII, God of War III, or a ton of other games coming out this year.

Simple, the whole thing was just a dream, then he wakes up, end.

XXXCouture5967d ago

if that seriously happens im gonna laugh so hard. knowing remedy though, i know theyll come up with something better

Michael-Jackson5967d ago (Edited 5967d ago )

his brother, great way to introduce co-op and a better story = Win ;D

gamer78045967d ago

The game was designed to have a series of episodes (dlc), its safe to say they haven't decided how each of them beyond the main game will end.

respawnaction5967d ago

they said the game will have episodes, and that this game only finishes this episode. http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend...

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.

gigoran8791d ago

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

jznrpg204d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto791d 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

Knightofelemia791d 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.

Chocoburger791d 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? 🙄

Rynxie791d ago

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

Profchaos791d 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.

Rynxie791d ago

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

Asplundh791d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
