Just the PS3 to go.....you know you want to Remedy

Didn't Microsoft Publish Alan Wake?

fluffydelusions5263d ago

Not sure why MS has neglected PC for this long. They used to be all about PC games before XBox. Oh well, at least they are making their way back.

slayorofgods5263d ago (Edited 5263d ago )

MS wanted to force more people into buying the xbox. I guess they forgot there is a reason that pc gamers are pc gamers.... I'm glad they now realize all they were doing is alienating a crowd that could make them more money.

Ravens205263d ago

Only 360 exclusive worth playing. Everything else is forgettable

kaveti66165262d ago

If Halo 3 goes to PC, I will be so very happy.

heroicjanitor5262d ago

It's timed exclusive, it's what they do. Which makes the "only on XBOX 360" logo a lie.

kaveti66165262d ago

^^^

It's not a lie.
It is currently only on Xbox 360 and has been for a year.

If the logo said, "Only on Xbox 360 Forever" then it would be a lie.

Kamikaze1355262d ago

Didnt Microsoft also publish Ninja Gaiden 2? :P

CrazyOrange5262d ago

Yea, Microsoft published NG2, that's why they had to re-do the whole game to release it on the PS3 which had few differences.

I don't Remedy would like to do such thing, and this is definitly liscened by Microsoft.

gta28005262d ago

This doesn't need to be on PS3. I'll check this game out on my Sony Vaio...so much for being "exclusive" :)

Gamer19825262d ago

Oh well another exclusive down the pot all we need now is gear 2 and 3 on pc and there really is no need to buy a 360 for hardcore gamers anymore is there? MS really is all about Kinect now and this shows it as they must have just done a timed deal on this game. Not that it sold very well on 360 anyway.

heroicjanitor5262d ago (Edited 5262d ago )

@Kavetti Will they take all of the copies that still say "only on xbox 360" out of stores then? And even if they did the phrase would still have been purposely misleading.

The_Nameless_One5262d ago

@fluffydelusions:
MS was banking this game to be a system seller. Mind you the PC version was a part of early development until MS decided that the game was only going to be out for the 360. The lame excuse they used at the time was that the wanted to focus on a single version to ensure quality.

Thecraft19895262d ago (Edited 5262d ago )

They are self publishing this. That is why it will have steam support. So yes Its possible however unlikely they could make it for PS3.

With a team of 50 though and the fact MS will want them work on other projects probably Alan wake 2 its unlikely they could do it.

kaveti66165262d ago

Heroicjanitor

Actually, Microsoft did that with Mass Effect. When it was released on Xbox 360 in 2007, the box said that it was only on Xbox 360. The version of Mass Effect I purchased did not say only on Xbox 360 on the box, because by then the PC version was released.

So, yeah, apparently Microsoft does look into that.

gta28005261d ago

Why so many disagrees? lol.

Published by Microsoft...

Paradicia5263d ago

@fucadastates

PlayDead are an independent company. They would of been crazy not to release it on other platforms. It would of stayed exclusive if Microsoft bought their studio, but they didn't. Their next game won't be out for another 3 and half years.

Disccordia5262d ago

Remedy are also independent. What was your point?

Paradicia5262d ago

@Disccordia

Remedy has been around for about 15 years. A far cry from a recently found 4 year old studio, don't you think?

NoobSessions5262d ago

Unfortunately that's not gonna happen. Good for PC owners here though, its one of my favorite SP campaigns in recent years :]

orange-skittle5262d ago

agreed. PS3 ONLY users tried to trash it b/c of it's sales when they didnt realize that Resistance 3 also tanked. The funny thing is, Alan Wake was actually a good ass game. Scary at times and the writing was amazing. I always felt the urgency to find a light source and scrounge for bullets. Made the tension high. Makes you second guess walking in the woods alone. People have to understand that not all horror games are going to sell through the roof. It's like every horror filmmaker hopes to have a SAW or Paranormal Activity success to draw from.

ATi_Elite5262d ago

Better late than never!

I'm happy about this move as many PC Gamers were very excited about Alan Wake only to be crushed when it became a 360 exclusive!

Good move putting it on Steam and maybe PC Gamers will still be interested in it although some real heavy hitting PC Exclusives are coming Q1 Q2 of 2012.

as long as it's a quality port i will be enjoying Alan Wake PC on my big screen while sitting on my couch......well until The Secret World comes out.

Enjoy!

ChrisW5262d ago

Supposedly Windows 8 will have an Xbox emulator in it. IMO, it's doubtful, but it would be make a lot of PC gamers happy!

Tanir5262d ago

awesome, another game that you don't need a 360 to play. seems pretty common the past few years

Play2Win5262d ago

Best 360 Game and one the best console games. Only God of War 3 is better. I'll play Alan on my PC.

It should be only $25, since it's half of the version that once was.

Hanif-8765263d ago

I now understand what you mean't by your comment after i clicked the link. I'd of bought it if it were what it once was but it is now so inferior, running at Sub-HD and being so linear.

Letros5263d ago

Yea, it was butchered!

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.

gigoran8756d ago

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

jznrpg168d ago

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.

Chocoburger756d 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? 🙄

Rynxie756d ago

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

756d ago
Profchaos756d 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.

Rynxie756d ago

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

Asplundh756d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
