Forums - PC - No Alan Wake for PC

I read somewhere that at Remedy the staff is only of about 35 people. After all these years of development, it doesn't surprise me that they focused on getting at least one version out of the door. I still hope to see the PC version coming at a later time, though, when it wouldn't impact as much the sales of the 360 version.

Oh, and why is everybody talking as if this game would have incredible requirements? It runs on a 360 and its engine was demoed years ago on a PC that surely would be quite cheap right now. At the time talking of "multicore CPUs only" could seem a harsh requirement, but nowadays every gaming rig should be a quad-core or at least a dual-core.

Can't be true. No way. I just read that for your gaming needs, all you needed was a PS3 and a PC. How can this be true that there will be no PC version?

Blame Microsoft.



I might get this if it gets good reviews and comes to the pc at some point, if it doesn't then too bad. Atleast they don't deny that they will possibly make a pc port, so there's still is a chance the port will come months later.

ahhh there you are.. *giving-shio-a-hug-to-welcome-him-to-this-thread*



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

After all the showing off of PC hardware (multicore processors, DX 10 etc) they won't make it for the PC? Shooting themselves in the foot there tbh, it would've been a hit on PC and was always pegged as a PC first title, especially in the beginning.
I might get it for the 360 but imho this was a bad move.

That sucks. If so, the game I liked most out of what MS showed at their conference, is unavailable to me!



I guess this is both a good and bad thing.

bad: I won't be able to play this on my monster PC rig when I upgrade for SC2.

good: I can now rent the game for the 360 since I have no other choice.

Fine, I won't play it at all then. Not the slightest chance of buing a game released by MS. And that's not only Alan Wake, that's ANY game released by MS. That is, unless this turns out to have been Remedy's decision. Right now I'm assuming it's a business decision, ie. MS's decision.

Also, I don't exactly see how this is confirmed. Seems more like a rumor.

I would assume the part where the representative from Remedy said it would secure it as fact...

Well, thats one less pirated version I'd suppose.

I don't still see it being officially cancelled, only in an unsecure state: They don't seem to have decided about the PC version right now. THAT'S NOT CANCELLED! Though in the end it might get cancelled.

Yeah, maybe that's one less pirated version. But this was I game I was really possibly buying after it gets cheaper. Oh, I don't even have Vista yet (and I'm not going to "get a new platform", be it a console or an OS, just for one game) so I wouldn't pirate a game I can't play, would I? And when I get Vista/7, the game would probably have been cheaper anyway. And anyway, I usually buy games I like.

Seems like its happening alot with Microsoft games now. Gears 2, Fable 2, Alan Wake, etc. Can't say its a bad business decision at all though, but its too bad for all 7 of the people in the world who have PCs strong enough to run Alan Wake

Not really. The game is gonna be a major letdown if it's not stellar. But - gotta say at least it's exclusive to the 360 ATM, no matter how folks wanna slice it.

They barely showed not even a full 10 min gameplay of alan wake...And your already judging it?..ha!

No, I'm not. But I am looking at history. Too Human was delayed repeatedly and when it came out, it wasn't a bad game, but definitely not stellar. Most games that are delayed often fail to meet expectations. GT on the PS3 better deliver the noise or it too will be dissed. That's all I am saying. I hope the game does great - but with history as a barometer, I do think Alan Wake had better bring its A game when it is released.

I'm saying the PC version of every game looks better than it's 360 port so we'll never get to see how good the PC version looks.

Please, class, do NOT feed this troll. Muchas gracias.
