E3 2009: Alan Wake Interview

[ItisonlyKim]

This is the best game I have ever played. I enjoyed every second, the songs are perfect, of course The Poet and His Muse! Understanding it all more after thinking long and hard about it :')

[ScarletSnake]

He's not just the "lead writer"! HE'S MAX FUCKING PAYNE! >:-)

[mercforhire1]

@Michelerockey retard, obviously you have no life, fucking spammer

[gambit2479]

You cant compare melons to appls,Heavy Rain and Alan Wake are different genres.

Heavy Rain is like CSI:MIAMI and Alan Wake is a mystery science fiction horror movie like Stephen Kings "The Mist". BOTH are epic.

[blueantenna]

I like how the whole senario kinda implies it's just him going insane.

[ANTAGONISTAD]

sounds kinda dumb

[biglilsef]

Dude I can't fucking wait. I preordered that shit at Gamestop. HELLLL YEAH! ROLL TIDE!

[TimeWarpproductions]

@biglilsef

Alabama?

Why the hell not?

ROLL TIDE!

[mercforhire1]

@whoria1 your a fucking fag 

[SexxyyAmber88]

looking for a guy who knows his way around a lady's body!

[duio]

i never heard of this game but it looks quite similar to silent hill, the lantern, search wife in ghost town etc.

[Wowbagger86]

Indeed, but more storywise than gameplay wise after what I've seen :) I've been waiting for this game a whilem and it seems to be a great game, but not as creepy as I was hopeing...

[duio]

i don't think any game can or will be scarier than silent hill 1.

[Wowbagger86]

Me neighter. I was just a kid when it came out and I still remember running home from my friends place in the evening after playing it ...it was a really original game in it's time.

[BiGRiCeD]

Silent Hill 2, Silent Hill 3, and the Fatal Frame series are all more scarier than the first Silent Hill.

[mrmansaywhat]

here i was getting excited about this game.. and its only for the 360 and pc ): at least i got silent hill homecoming which i got yesterday :P

[norwayrzr]

Alan Wake is not for PC. It's 360 only.

[Delokrat]

It is for 360 at first, but a PC version will be released.

[norwayrzr]

I'm sorry, but no. It is completely exclusive to the 360. No PC version have been announced, and by the looks of it I doubt it will ever be announced... Just like a PC version of Halo 3, GoW2, Forza 3, Crackdown 2 and most games Microsoft publish.

[ManOfConsequences]

lol..they stopped for pc version...dude

[thecrusadingdebator]

@mrmansaywhat At least you get Heavy Rain:)

[club4ghz]

lol they start make this game when there wass not dx10 yet and this didnt comeout yet then dx11 iss in the way

[matias7anriquez]

hm hm sorri im chilean .. what its a pun ??

please reply :)

[thecrusadingdebator]

A pun is a very clever use of words, and usual it makes everyone roll their eyes.

It's like me saying, "Oh, you're Chilean? Tell me, is it chilly in Chili?"

It's dumb.

[pro707]

Actually the pun is A. Wake.

[findthecomputerroom6]

this game looks awesome but i swear i saw this like 5 years ago and the game alan wake is a word play title

[dajman15]

Didn't say it was, just that it's similar.

[dajman15]

I don't think Rememdy are stupid enough to make the whole thing a dream.

The name is also similar to the guy in this interview.

Alan Wake

Sam Lake

[RTSchofield]

I'm sure i saw pictures for this about 7 years ago. Is it ever gonna come out? lol.

[MegaShot419]

It will come out when Alan Wake sleeps.

[bomber4]

oh is this left 4 dead 3?????//

[MegaShot419]

God damn, this game has been in development foreverrrrrr..

I remember seeing the first trailer at E3 2005. This game better come out this year or next.

[norwayrzr]

It's out spring 2010.

[InItForTheGiggles]

damn, that's a long development time. Better be good.

[primusman117]

watch it be a 4 hour game, lol

[HuGiv5]

Sam Lake i a ver nice guy , other delevoper shoud be like him...

oh and Alan Wake will be a trilogy.

[yoops]

very stephen king, great design elements

[Amenthatip]

i wanna see stephen king do that kinda shit lol

[Marsipaanimies91]

of course his real name isn't Sam Lake, because he's finnish. His real name is Sami Järvi.

[yellowriceFS]

every system needs their own exclusive like a specialty. thats what makes them unique from other systems and most of the time i make more money off of exclusive games

[yellowriceFS]

mybad i meant "most of the time U make more money off of.. ."

[ofoosy]

lol Alan Wake A.Wake

[DreadRaptor85]

It kind of hints that the entire game might be a dream?

[conorisawsome]

no he is A.Wake

[szewei85]

this should be interesting

[hussi434]

This game looks better than Heavy Rain, cuz HR looks prety ugly now

[sportsgeek10]

wow it looks very smooth n a bit of a different type of action game.

[robotfabio]

shit i hate exclusives i wish that games came out for every system

[robotfabio]

is this for ps3?

[RonB193]

I think it's an xbox exclusive.

[fatmoleman]

It is PC and 360 only.

[ACTORnSCREENWRITER]

Great game, great story. You really feel the tense, and eery feeling just from this amazing demo

[jollymah189]

Max Payne in the flesh!

[giggygiggygoo12]

march 2010

[McNugget06]

SAM LAKE!

[VFORVITIELLO]

finally something new. all the games we play are so much the same, guys in heavy gear inlisted into the planets army killing aliens from another. halo, gears of war, killzone, etc.

[ACTORnSCREENWRITER]

Don't forget "Lost Planet 2" and "Mass effect 2"

only refreshers I am looking forward to is "Call of Juarez" "Red Dead Faction" two western games set in the 1800's America

and Dead Rising 2 (which is 10 times better than Dead Rising 1)Thanks to Blu-Castle Games and their improvments

such as, instead of 500 zombies at a time,they increased it to 17,000!

Bigger open world,better driving,better aiming etc

Capcom was smart to send it over to a Western team,even though fanboys hated it

[qixote]

This writer has been given as much time to write the story for this single game as JK Rowlings wrote the entire Harry Potter series.

[JeffWaffles]

I'm looking forward to this. When I play games, I tend to look for a few things. One is story, which this game does not appear to lack. Another is gameplay innovations, trying new things. For example, first person free running (Mirror's Edge), or Mental Echo (Cryostasis). And of course, I look at level design and immersion. This game is story driven, incorporates the method of using lights as a weapon, and even trailers just suck me in. I have a feeling I'm really going to enjoy Alan Wake.

[giggygiggygoo12]

It sound like Alone in the dark with this being a TV series.

[ThomasWrinse]

Being like alone in the dark might not be a bad thing because; alone in the dark = great ideas, poor execution.

If they use similar ideas and executes them well then the game should be fantastic.

[punkrockmonk07]

this guy talkin looks like max payne haha

[paate1]

okay.... i dont think that if the game is 16+ means that it sucks ass and it would be kinda stupid if it would be 18+ it doesnt seem any horror game to me (this is my opinion)

[paate1]

hope this will be 16+

[ystein3000]

why? I hope for 18+.. this game looks pretty good and scary.. hate to see them waste a good game by removing realistic action to turn it into a 16+ game

[Zeramir]

Alone in the dark anyone?

[JeffWaffles]

God, no, that game is horrible!

[Zeramir]

Thats all I see here

[Zander1494]

This looks awesome! Can't wait til' it comes out. It kind of reminds me of Uncharted mixed with Resident Evil.

[kickit246]

reminds me of uncharted, just "darker"

[evanorth]

un nuevo Silent Hill? RIP OFF!!

[ToaHannah007]

Wow I wanna try this soooooo badly!

[MetalOnslaught]

Sam Lake is Max Payne! atleast in the first game

[foda23]

And he's wearing a Max Payne jacket.

[zakkara1]

Also known as a leather jacket ;)

[miru021]

His T-Shirt is cool.

"I am AWAKE"

A Wake

Alan Wake

=p

[sicbrick]

Isn't it in devolopment for at leats 5 years now?`I think I have a Magazin announcing this game in 2002, but I'm not sure. Maybe it was 2004...it looks very good anyways

[rude19]

The guy being interviewed looks like an older Basshunter.

[willchimpy]

this is almost an alone in the dark clone!!!

[kenney4lyfe]

this game is never coming out

[madejustforthis]

Spring 2010!

It was said very clearly during Microsoft's conference at the E3, the world heard it from Sam Lake, if it ain't released then, Remedy can forget achieving any of their targets coz everything will be too p1ssed to care.

[LeM0njui3c3]

how bout ya try puttin your finger in a toster?

i bet you'll get shocked then!

faggot spamer...D=<

[Silvertrine]

Graphics look choppy, are all 360 games like that? Reminds me of why I was never too fond of PC games. Stutters, and frame drops no matter what you do.

[wiseuppeople]

It's the Youtube feed. Watch the game from a better source.  I didn't see any frame drops or stutter

[JAWZxz]

This uses the Unreal Engine right??

[foda23]

Nope.

Custom engine built by Remedy.

[JAWZxz]

lol JESUS they certainly had enough time!

[Garmichael1]

Its so refreshing for a game to have a solid and well thought out setting

[paate1]

hope this will not be 18+ and hopefully come to PS3 someday but i dont think that will happen ;(

[THEFATKIDBLUES]

p-p-p-pussy

[DreadRaptor85]

It's published by Microsoft Game Studios, so no.

[aznkid2353]

wait wut? the guy wuz like "its a thriller" in the beginning and in the end hes like "its not a horror game"... o_O

[Br1on]

it's like alone in the dark

[Vvewa]

thats what I was thinking, hoping its not as bad as the recent alone in the dark

[DontSpillMe]

lol! The guy talking was Max Payne! Alan Wake looks awesome by the way. One big reason why I'm happy I still have my 360.

[Retrogamer71]

Five years in the making. Hope

its worth it.

[Zocsma]

I'm sure it's worth it.

[ryanc519]
