Forums - Microsoft - Alan Wake could've been released much earlier says director...

What's up with the comparisons between Splinter Cell and Alan Wake? They aren't that similar imo.



themanwithnoname's law: As an America's sales or NPD thread grows longer, the probabilty of the comment "America = World" [sarcasticly] being made approaches 1.

Very few people remember that, at first, it also was for the PS3 (I don't remember if exclusively or if it was meant to be a multiplatform release).

Has this something to do with the delay? Maybe just a little.

It used to be a multiplat title for PS3, Xbox 360, and PC till MGS gained publishing rights to the game.



Rockstar: Announce Bully 2 already and make gamers proud!

Kojima: Come out with Project S already!

Uhm since when is the game for PC again ? Did I miss an announcement ?


its always been multiplat...........just expect a 6 month 360 timed exclusive

Don`t hold your breath. You`ll run out of air.

Mass Effect 2 is published by EA,Splinter Cell is published by Ubisoft,but MS did pay so there will not be a ps3 version.

Alan Wake on the other hand is published by MS and sponsored by MS,so when MS says "no PC version",there will be no PC version.

Halo 3 was expected on Pc...no joy... Gears 2 on Pc...no joy... Fable 2 on Pc...no joy... etc.

MS needs Alan Wake exclusive to keep up with Sony (Heavy Rain anyone?). So no,it will not be a Pc version.

Way to go off topic. And the fact that you compared this game to Heavy Rain immediately kills off your credibility.

I had credibility confirmed? Thanks,man!

And when is competiton not good for the industry? Alan Wake`s full 360 exclusivity proves it is

Ok, I was a little over the top with my previous post, and I apologize, but I never understood why people compare Alan Wake and Heavy Rain.

^ Yeah. Alan Wake is not close to Heavy Rain at all (and even less to Splinter Cell).

I think Uncharted is a decent comparison since both are action games, story driven, third person, Hollywood-movie style. And multi-million seller AAA.

Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell have Pc ports. I was refering to that,because some people can say it`s not exclusive to 360. MS did pay for the lack of ps3 port to keep competing with Sony.

Alan Wake and Heavy Rain are both exclusive games,releasing close to each other and both great games. Competition is good for the industry,and MS wants to compete with Sony. There for it bought full exclusivity for Alan Wake and does not want a Pc port.

If MS is still intereste in Pc gaming,why did it shut down Age of Empires and Flight Sim studios? Why not a Pc port for Halo 3,Gears 2,Fable 2,etc? Yes...I know...I know...

Haha! It starts with a 'p'?

I hope it took so long because the game is so ground breaking rather than just having development issues.

All I know is my 360 is going to be getting some loving

"In video game terms, RPGs are games that involve a form of separate battles taking place with a specialized battle system and the use of a system that increases your power through a form of points.

Sure, what you say is the definition, but the connotation of RPGs is what they are in video games." - dtewi

Splinter Cell Conviction and Splinte rCell Conviction are EXCLUSIVES IMO.

They will just be ported to Pc but those games will be much more fun on 360 for sure ... if u see trailers or in game is everything on 360 because its where those games will sell more and more played...Also when u see some Trailer it allways appears Xbox 360 - Jump IN and never Games for Windows...

Mostly Ps3 players dont have a Top Pc because for what i know who buy Consoles dont like very much Pc Gaming ...

So they Conviction , Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake are indeed Exclusives.

So its a 3 vs 3...

Alan Wake , Mass Effect 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction

vs

M.A.G , God of War 3 and Heavy Rain

I think everyone can see the Superiority of Xbox 360 in 2010 here.

M.A.G and Heavy Rain doesnt sound good ... Actually i hate those games for what i played/Watch.

God of War 3 will be GREAT but its 1 AAA vs 3 AAA.

Mass Effect 2 , Conviction and Alan Wake...Wooow...Just Woow...

I Believe in a Mass Effect 2 Port to the Ps3 but Conviction and Alan Wake just forget...NEVER.

Alan Wake = Microsoft Games Studios
Splinter Cell = Microsoft DEAL with Ubisoft and Ubisoft has said already 1 milion times that the game is a truly Microsoft Exclusives and they also said that the game will be the game that makes 360 really shines ... But that its what everyone says ...

Well 1st 6months before E3 are great then it will be even better.

Halo Reach
Fable III
Gears of War 3 (?)
Project NATAL
RalliSport 3 or PGR 5 ?

We also will see the new Bungie IP in E3 hopefully and Project NATAL RaRe and Lionead Games like MILO :D

Every Xbox 360 must be Super Happy with so many games and im not even saying the multi´s like MGS Rising of FF XIII.
