Cool, although I wasn't a massive fan of the first one I still felt it had serious potential to become a great series, hopefully there will be a true sequel after this XBLA game.

Make it happen!!!

MAJ0R5293d ago

Ive always said Alan Wake was the most underrated game this gen imo, really besides Mass Effect its my favorite non- shooter IP this gen and unlike most of my friends who neverd had it on their radar, or didnt follow the this game since the first trailers, I bought it day one. Eventually most of them have at least got a digital copy and now they all are fans of Remedys brilliant work. Its great to hear that although this upcoming AW content is going to be really special, its not AW2, which means there is no doubt Remedy will be giving us a full fledge sequel sometime in the future.

'besides Mass Effect its my favorite non- shooter IP'

...... Mass Effect is a shooter.

Yeah, and so is Alan Wake! It's a third person shooter (using semi-automatic civilian weapons and light sources as weapons and a targeting/weakening mechanism) that has a cinematic "near miss" dodge mechanic and very simple climbing/switch puzzles to break up the action.

There was a magazine last month that was saying MS/Remedy are holding off AW2 until the next xbox! Hope so!

Alan Wake was a lot of fun. Great, great atmosphere. I'm really not concerned what they call it as long as the quality present in Alan Wake is throughout this XBLA game. I really have no doubts that it will be.

qwertyz5293d ago

Since MS doesn't have many first party devs it'd make sense if alan wake 2 was held off till next gen maybe as a launch title or something.

Spenok5293d ago

I still need to make my way through the first. But ever since i moved and packed up my 360 i havent unpacked anything except my PS3. This is THE game that i would do it for though. Ive seen it in action and it looks really good. Hmm... maybe ill have to do that soon.

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.

gigoran8778d ago

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

jznrpg190d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

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

Knightofelemia778d 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.

Chocoburger777d 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? 🙄

Rynxie777d ago

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

Profchaos777d 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.

Rynxie777d ago

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

Asplundh777d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
