I honestly agree. I think Alan Wake would have made a boring free-roam world game. It's definitly better when it's the story that takes you to new and exciting places, rather than you already having been there.

hennessey865581d ago

I thought alan wake was perfect the way it was i think open world would have made it a bit tiresome driving point to point, it would have taken away the atmosphere

kissmeimgreek5581d ago

Exactly! Everyone these days wants open world in their games for no reason other than to have it. Free roam would completely kill what Remedy was going for with AW.

Tell that to all those other people who continue to say "dumbed down this", "dumbed down that". -_____-

Anyways, great interview. Alan Wake was definitely an interesting game. A nice collection of twists and turns you come to expect in a psychological thriller.

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

Tacoboto755d 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

Knightofelemia756d 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.

Chocoburger755d 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? 🙄

Rynxie755d 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.

Rynxie755d ago

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

Asplundh755d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
