Alan Wake: Not a first-party title for Microsoft

The official Alan Wake forum has just posted an announcement in response to the rumor that Alan Wake is the "big Microsoft first party title" that is getting canceled.

"Microsoft Game Studios does not own the copyright nor the IP to Alan Wake. Therefore, Alan Wake is NOT a first party title for Microsoft."

The forum moderator adds:

"Remedy is acting as a third party developer for Microsoft Game Studios. MGS provides outsourcing and development resources for the game, but has no development power over the title."

Outside of the 6 pre-rendered screen shots & a demo ran on a PC, This game has nothing.

iceice1236765d ago

Confused with the 2005 Killzone 2 trailer. Those are not pre-rendered. But please continue to be jealous of the game.

wil4hire6765d ago (Edited 6765d ago )

A. The Still shots were pre-rendered.

B. The video from "Alan Wake shown at IDF Fall " Was running on a PC.. which was stated there.

I am jealous of games that have release dates..

Alan Weak is dead.

Wii60_FTW6765d ago

sorry, willhire, but you're a dipshit.

that video just owned your ass. you're still thinking of krapzone. sit down.

FirstknighT6765d ago

HAHA, I see wil4hire is still making an idiot of himself.

sanderFVCKINcohen6765d ago

Somewhere in Microsoft.com, two days ago: "HALO WARS, CANCELED"

ParaDise_LosT6765d ago

Everyone of their screens are INGAME
also
In the forums Morry(the mod)
said Remedy themselves sent him an Email confirming its not alan wake...

remix6765d ago

its a big title so we will see.

DeZimatoR6765d ago

Pity the 2007 Killzone 2 trailer is gameplay and blows everything else ever seen being played on a console out of the water...

BTW, does this mean its possible we will see Alan Wake on the PS3?! ;)

Dr Pepper6765d ago

No, because Microsoft is publishing the game.

JunkieXL6765d ago

No, because Microsoft has too much cash for the game developers on their payroll.

iceice1236765d ago

Hmm if you think it looks better than anything on a console your favorite color is grey. That's all it is, grey. I think I'll take a game with life, say Mass effect or Bioshock over grey blurs.

HarryEtTubMan6765d ago

GAME INFORMER, BBC INTERNATIONAL NEWS AND VIRTUALLY EVERYONE else that has seen the games has said that there is notinhg on a console even compaable to Killzone 2. "It is on the next level", "a step ahead of the rest". Shut you sh!t up jealous hater. You aren't Game informer. This isn't Gearof War or UT3. This is Killzone 2, which has the newest, most sophisticated engine seen in a game yet.... and just think we have barely seen a little gimpse of the game... o yea and and it was in the Alpha stage meaning all the graphical layers weren't even in place yet. You patheic, lieing, desperate fanboys. Your little crapbox will never be a PS3, no matter you wish and compalin, and lie, and try to trash, and hate. You're still gonna lose in the end. And really already have. Suckers.

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.

gigoran8764d ago

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

jznrpg176d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto763d 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

Knightofelemia764d 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.

Chocoburger764d 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? 🙄

Rynxie763d ago

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

Profchaos763d 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.

Rynxie763d ago

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

Asplundh763d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
