A remedy developer just posted a message saying he was in San Fransisco on an Alan Wake Forum. Now let's hope that he will show something at GDC.

I really hope for some good updates...I can't wait for this game seriously..

Looks like Friday is all the MS news huh (Lionhead, couple of MS Games studio talks)?

I wonder what OXM was referring to in that other thread...

Peter Molyneux (boss at Microsoft owned Lionhead, end of 2008): "Next year, well, it's all looking a bit dry," off the top of my head I cannot think of anything next year that really excites me. "

Don't shoot the messenger.

I am not sure about that, he has probably far more in depth knowledge regarding what Microsoft and close partners (including his company) are working on, rather than knowing what other rival developers are cooking behind the scenes for 2009.

Otherwise the comment wouldn't make much sense, considering for example the PS3's stellar line-up.

"2008 was the year that the Nintendo Wii got even better, more than anyone really thought possible when it first launched. The 360 did well, although it was put into the shade somewhat by the Wii. PlayStation 3 has been disappointing to say the least.

On the gaming front, GTA IV was a real moment for the industry. Rockstar nailed how you characterise a game and their engine and cut sequences are state of the art. However, only a few people actually saw all the cut sequences because the game was so tough to play. Are we making games too difficult? That's a question the industry has been asking itself of late.

We - as developers - are finally comfortable with the next-gen consoles and we saw a slew of sequels this year. Gears of War 2, Fallout 3, Fable II, the seventh Tomb Raider.

One of my personal favourites was Little Big Planet; superb artistry and a fantastic marketing job by Sony - yet it didn't make the numbers. I wonder if Christmas is really the right time to release a new title. We've got into a rhythm [of sequels at Christmas] which is all fair and well while people are buying games but we have to make sure we don't get complacent.

Next year, well, it's all looking a bit dry. All the triple A titles came out this Christmas and while there is stuff in 2010 we can look forward to, off the top of my head I cannot think of anything next year that really excites me.

Everyone says games are good value for home entertainment, despite the relatively high price. I'm not so sure. I think we're going to see a lot of price pressure put on games.

And as for Lionhead: now we've got Fable II out of the door we can focus on our other project - it's super secret for now - but we might announce it next year."

He references games from multiple consoles and did not make statements purely about the 360.

Interesting that he knocked the PS3 in his comment.  Kinda bad PR, especially since he works for MS.  Also... 2009 a bit dry?  Again the PS3 has a huge number of titles coming in 2009 it seems.  Is he really that narrow-sighted, that he can't acknowledge the PS3's strengths in any way, outside of complimenting LBP?  Is his interest in gaming really that limited, that he can honestly claim to not have any interest in 2009's lineup?

It is Molyneux, he is pretty wierd.

Whilst the PS3's line-up is certainly solid, it is a stretch to call it's announced run of 2009 games "stellar."

This will be especially true if both GT5 and God of War 3 don't make 2009, in which case the PS3 line-up would start to look quite bland.
