I really don't understand why this is not coming to PC. The only thing I can hope for is it will be eventually coming to the PC after they make their money on the Xbox release. #alanwake
@homernoy: I know! I want this on PC so damn much. And if we don't get it, then I demand a proper Alone in the Dark. 1992 style. Or at least one as groundbreaking today as it was back then. #alanwake
@homernoy: Same here. I'm more than a bit miffed at their drop of the PC version ( more specifically at Microsoft making them drop it ) but I'm at least trying to stay hopeful for a later port.
As long as they don't officially and unambiguously cancel it, I'm hopeful. #alanwake
@Kaneda: Yeah, it was too bad the recent release of Alone in the Dark was so poorly executed. I was really, really looking foward to that game, only to be completely disappointed.
If we get a proper Alone in the Dark game on the PC I would jump for joy! Most likely will never happen, unfortunately. #alanwake
@Fieldy: "but I'm at least trying to stay hopeful for a later port"
I am right there with ya. In my mind there is little chance it will miss the PC completely, but if and when it does come, I sure hope it has decent controls, and overall polish.
After playing a very polished PC version of Batman:AA, it's really shoulden't be too much to expect these days. #alanwake
@homernoy: I'm not too optimistic about a new good Alone in the Dark on PC either. As you said, it's a shame that 5 (I played the PS3 "Inferno" version I think) was so poorly executed. It had good style and lots of potential. Did you notice they seem to split Alan Wake in episodes, starting like "this week on Alan Wake" just like Alone on the Dark 5? #alanwake
@homernoy: Its so odd.
I remember a preview show they did more then a year ago, showcasing the game and bragging about their "insane" Falcon Northwest monster computer that was running the game... #alanwake
@Shikome: It is odd. The only thing I can think of is Microsoft wants a timed exclusive for the 360. Like I said above, there is little doubt in my opinion, that Alan Wake will come to PC eventually. #alanwake
@Taggart6: I don't always drink beer, but when I do...: Not gonna lie, the start of this game's development cycle predates the construction of the pyramids. #alanwake
@Michael Dukakis for Senate!: I had two dreams about him after he died. I don’t remember the first one all that well but it was about meetin’ him in town somewheres and he give me some money and I think I lost it.
But the second one it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin through the mountains of a night. Goin through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin. Never said nothin’. He just rode on past and he had this blanket wrapped around him and he had his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin’ fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. About the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin’ on ahead and that he was fixin’ to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up.
@Lainface: Are you implying that on weekdays Alan Wake is a thriller author, by night a man running in terror, and on the weekends raiding tombs in tropical locales?
Has there been an Alan Wake promotional screen which HASNT had some sort of glaring light source?
Do they want me to squint through the whole damn thing or what?
@Dvorack: nah I felt the same way when I saw this trailer a few days ago.
It's like In the mouth of madness crossed with the dark half. It wouldn't be surprising if Alan Wake turned out to be the true villain or the dark side of his, considering he's fighting all the villagers.

@Falsoman: PC version is still up in the air as far as I know. Hopefully it does come to PC though, as a game originally built to take advantage of PC hardware, it'd be a shame if those of us who helped build the hype for the game got left out.
@Nickj360: Well, i won't make that kind of statements since my desktop computer is an iMac :P Great for design work and as a media center, but not exactly capable of better than 360 graphics. It is, however, able to play all the games if you take out some of the better effects and model detail.
It ends up being like an ALMOST 360 but not quite there.
@NeVeRMoRe666: Yeah, the more I see about the game, the more it seems like a wannabe Alone in the Dark, which is not at all what I was hoping it would be.
Stop making sense, dang it!
@Lets-game: Are you sure it got removed or did it just disappear from view. Down at the end if you click Show Older Threads you should be able to see it again.
Here's hoping it's not a Soap Opera and that the story is interesting enough that I won't be skipping cutscenes because I don't want to listen to another narrative halfway through the game.
I'm counting on you Sam, I want to like playing your game as much as i like listening to you talk.
@Hungry_Ghost: yeah, what are you getting at. If you're suggesting I skipped the narrative in those games, i didn't. But if the Max Payne games were made now we would probably find them a tad corny. The story needs to be interesting since the gameplay as well relies so heavily on the narrative.
I know Sam Lake to be a good writer, but some of the elements of the story displayed here seem a bit familiar. Pay attention to the words "displayed here".
Nothing yet seems to be treading on roads not yet traveled. Perhaps its the fact that this game has been in development for so long that other games have already had the chance to implement devices paraded in this one.

I think that's the whole point.
If you want to tackle a real problem, may I suggest supporting legislation that outlaws dark movies having quick cuts to white.
9 about made me go blind a couple of times with those transitions. What happened to the good old star wipe?

Half of these look like Alan is running away from a UFO.
