Though it would probably leave players with an on rail experience, that is unless they can come up with some alternative solution to the game play.

I mean...the future of gaming had to be more than just rail experiences.

Also this game better get some proper campaign ads this time around last game wasnt even on the radar.

Luckily, they drop the total free roam thing and went with a very linear and limited world. Still, that wasn't good enough. So I was very glad to hear that the next one will be even more limiting, going totally on rail, with Kinect!

Chasing a sequel to Alan Wake, one of the most notorious flops of the year. Don't get me wrong, I liked the game a lot, but you have to be realistic about these things.

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

And then MK1 killed it again.

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.
