@Chances:

Hoping beyond hope!

execrationist

I hope to see a Vista DX10.5 version. Even if it won't affect gameplay seeing stuff like Stalker Clear Skies with haze wind effects was pretty wicked.

Black-Dog-Howls

@The Amazing Exploding-Man:

RLY?

Ok I pass for now.

EnigmaNemesis

Alan Wake was one of those launch titles that supposedly was to be the Microsoft's best. Now with it staying in limbo for so long, who knows how the game will be. Hopefully the game won't become another Alone in the Dark.

Mr. Karate

I really hope so. It has been way to long since we heard anything about Alan Wake.

Tohdman

@EnigmaNemesis: raises glass - here's hopin'!

Chances

Heh. "Thanks for stopping by. The Windows Vista "Wow" Prize Draw closed on 30th March 2007." Are you sure this wasn't for the 2007 TGS and ended up not appearing? Seems kinda weird.

M0mer

I hope its released the same time on the pc as on the 360 cause my pc needs some loving. The sexual kind... from alan wake.

snakepliskin

TGS? So, the Japanese are suppose to buy a 360 for Alan Wake now?

Sammo21

I stopped caring when they made this Vista only for PCs. Remedy, I don't know what MS paid you, but you broke my heart. Now I shun you.

The Amazing Exploding-Man

I cant wait to see more about this game. Looking forward to the gorgeous graphics on the PC, lets hop the gameplay and story are just as sound.

EnigmaNemesis

@EnigmaNemesis: LOL. Nicely countered, that flamebait.

Candlejack

@Chances:

So does that mean it will be on the PS3 with exclusive content later on?

EnigmaNemesis

@everybest:
if i had a game named after me, i'd eagerly await it's arrival as well.
it'd make a fantastic conversation piece. :P

ruba-dub-dub

I forgot all about this game. I honestly thought they just said," Screw it." and went out for ice cream and never came back.

Amazon_Chris

I'm sure Mattrick thought that this was too rich for their press conference as well...

But I know a friend of mine has been following this game religiously so I know he'll be ecstatic to hear this.

jihadjoe343

Remember, supposedly Microsoft trimmed their E3 show from 2 1/2 hours to 90 mintutes (hence no Halo).
I bet this was cut too.

YesILikeGuys

Alan Wake: the new BioShock.
making Sony boys jealous since '07!

Chances

@KingBroly: Well, the developers probably understand that a larger portion of internet-going American gamers follow TGS just as much as E3, so they figured it wouldn't really matter. And of course they probably didn't have anything ready for E3.

Spiffyness

@ruba-dub-dub: There are at least 150 Alan Wakes all across North America and Europe eagerly anticipating the launch.

everybest

I've got a strange feeling this will go up against Heavy Rain...and it will be a bloody battle.

Candlejack

I can't wait, damnit!!!!!!

dead_red_eyes

good, maybe the game will actually look interesting now they've had 2 years to work since last showing.

seriously, what is the interest in this game besides it's developers last franchise?

ruba-dub-dub

@Lezard: He must be related to Max Payne :D

Seriously looking forward to seeing how far this game has developed since we last saw it.

Asfad

@KingBroly: I agree just seems a bit off but at least we get to see more if it manages to appear there.

TheNexusRebound

@KingBroly: Yeah, that probably shoulda shown it at E3.

everybest

after seeing E3 can you blame them.

also it may just be ready to show at TGS and E3 may have been a bit too early.

GAC

This is still in production O_O What've those guys been doing?!

Beyond-Infinity

Awesome. Can't wait for TGS.

Yaywalter

Why TGS? This doesn't strike me as a very Japanee-oriented title.

KingBroly

Have we ever seen Mr. Wake with any other facial expressions?

Lezard

@EnigmaNemesis: Yeah if a TeamICO team member just walked out on stage and said "We're working on something" TGS would explode.

snakepliskin

@Sammo21:

Personally, it doesnt have to have any gameplay! (TeamICO game)

:-p

EnigmaNemesis

If the Team Ico game is shown, and it has actual gameplay and video, then I don't think anyone will care about Alan Wake.

Sammo21

I don't understand why some people are freaking and even saying that it will be cancelled.
Does that same logic also apply to all the PS3 games that are taking forever to come out?

XbhaskarX

And don't forget people that in addition to Team Ico its possible that in the TGS we will se more of White Knight and other Level 5 project :) that would make my head explode for sure

symphony_of_the_night

TGS is sony and nintendo home , if this is what MS is going to show they don't know anything about were they are doing....
I want to see this game sooo much, but TGS its not the place to show it . A really bad move....

symphony_of_the_night

I think this whole Alan Wake thing is just a hoax to distract us from the real game they are working on: Skies of Arcadia 360

ch777p

@snakepliskin: Hahahah, so true... It would explode because my self detonation would resonate through my computer to Kotaku and to the pictures of TGS retroactively, so they all were destroyed at the same time they were taken...

Team Ico has the chance to rule TGS... I hope Sony learns how to be ruthless.

bobtheduck

@snakepliskin:
But was it really dismal? I agree with you of course, but they weren't courting US. They were courting soccer moms, casual "gamers", and grand parents. "Looks at us. We're crazy, cool, playing video games....although we aren't really playing a game with no real purpose or meaning (wii music)."

Sammo21

@ch777p: I think skies of arcadia will show up at tgs but more likely than not as a wii game. In fact i think nintendo will show up big at tgs after their dismal e3.

snakepliskin

I really, really hope this game lives up to...

My imagination?

I'm not sure what it is about this game that's had me exciting for so long when there's so little that's been showed over time...

Interesting concept, that's for sure. I just hope it doesn't lose to a long development cycle and a 'wow' factor that may have subsided over time.

Hoping it will be like the first Fable - not in terms of gameplay (of course), but in that - being in development for so long, while maybe not living up to the hype, still manages to provivde a solid, entertaining experience.

sir_carrot

@snakepliskin:
Maybe, but I really doubt it. Every title they showed, even the 1 or 2 DS titles, were excessively casual. Hell, they even re released (only big N fan boys will argue otherwise)the GC(or was it the DS version) Animal Crossing and just added stuff into in. COME ON! Nintendo is just going to slowly factor hardcore gamers out entirely at one point. Third party devs are going to end up being the only ones who even have a chance, and on the Wii....why would they care either?

Sammo21

@Sammo21: I think it was dismal only because nintendo just showed up for the sake of showing up. I think they're holding all their cards for tgs and that left nothing for e3.

snakepliskin

It freaking better be there. Remedy are absurdly talented, especially when it comes gameplay and story.

Placentasaurus

@Asfad: Actually it's more of a Finnish thing... don't ask.

Please Remedy, don't screw this one up, I have high hopes for this game.

zoesch

I agree, I like the concept a lot - very intriguing and different... been waiting a while on this, I really hope it shows up @ TGS.

chirpingbee

I kinda wonder if they weren't planning on showing this at E3, and then held off based on Sony's poor showing. I mean, shit. It's not like they didn't already sweep the show.

Insomnia Bob

You know, this game is SOOOOO huge and ... I don't know why. We know so very LITTLE about it, so I guess its completely based on the little we've seen and Remedy's reputation.

I need to see/know more to get excited, but I've been intrigued ever since I saw the quad-core footage from like 2 years ago.

DARTH_TIGRIS

@EnigmaNemesis: sure about 16 months after launch

Murderdolls

@The Amazing Exploding-Man: Computers made after 2005. Buy one, and Vista will love you.

J3EBS

I hope this doesn't end up like Too Human. >.>

Shinryoma

This game still alive?

garytek

I'm starting to think that either this game doesn't really exist or they're now saving it for the Xbox362.

I reckon Duke nukem will be out before this

I've really lost intrest in this game, they'll have to show me something really good to win me back!

NINJApirateFACE

I hope they announce it, show some footage and then release the fucking thing a month later. I am sick of seeing games 5 years before they are released. Next will be given stories of a dream the developer had just last night.

How about developers get 90% done and then announce. This way I don't get pissed off when a game is delayed 2 years with no release in sight. The initial excitement would turn into direct sales.

The problem with E3 this year was almost every game we have known about since E3 2005. Boring.

TheRealMaxPower

@TheRealMaxPower: I have to agree I'm also tired of seeing footage of a game that is not set for release until 5 years from now. I've heard of Alan wake so many times but I've only seen screens, WHEN is this game coming out for reals man.

MXs219

This game was one of the reasons I had my eye on the 360 in the first place, so I can not wait to see some more solid details surrounding it. It has such a great atmosphere, and I have a lot of faith in Remedy. I'm still skeptical that it's going to get released even within the next year, or maybe even at all, but I know that Microsoft has poured a lot of money and time into this along with Remedy, so let's hope something good comes of it.

nick.soapdish

@EnigmaNemesis:

Except that Alan Wake's publisher is Microsoft Game Studios.

Jyuu

@Jyuu:

Except clearly you missed the sarcasm boat!

EnigmaNemesis

justinbox360

@EnigmaNemesis:

Jay4govna

Alan who now??????? Do we have a new contender for the Duke Nukem Award for this year?????????

freespeech

I've been wanting this.

teraMEL0S

Alan Wake is one of those games that are just never coming out, like those games back at the release of the 360 like Huxley and APB. Whatever happened to those games?
