By Alan Tskhurbayev in South Ossetia and Gori (CRS No. 455, 21-Aug-08) Wed, 20 Aug 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Alan+Wake?rinfoid=68494935 2008-08-20T23:00:00Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Alan+Wake?rinfoid=68164070 It feels like forever since the last time we heard about Remedy Entertainment’s heavily-anticipated action thriller Alan Wake, which was at Microsoft’s X06 in, uh, 2006. Intent to put a stop to the rumours that the game has become vaporware, Remedy’s CFO Mika Reini has come out of his hiding hole and let the community [...] Mon, 18 Aug 2008 22:38:01 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Alan+Wake?rinfoid=68164070 2008-08-18T22:38:01Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Alan+Wake?rinfoid=68153064 We can all rest easy, Alan Wake is still being worked on by Remedy. The routinely delayed MMO shooter that may or may not be super awesome spectacular has been missing in action in recent times. No mention was made at, or around, E3. So some people were understandably nervous. But some fantastic updates on the game came recently from Remedy CFO Mika Reini on the company message boards. Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:04:49 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Alan+Wake?rinfoid=68153064 2008-08-18T20:04:49Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Alan+Wake?rinfoid=68141089 Alan Wake . It's a name that was on the tip of everyone's tongue in 2005. Cut to three years later and it's still an elusive title that frankly, many of us are wondering if it is every going to make it out the door. This is especially true with its suspicious absence at E3 this year. Fret not gay gamers develops Remedy recent posted this on their forums: We feel we owe you all a small heads up, and our apologies for lack of updates. This is just part of our psychological thriller, is it all real or imagined... Seriously, yes, we're still here and working hard on getting Alan Wake for you to enjoy. Sure, we've been in development for a long time and if everything had gone perfectly smoothly there probably would be a game out for you guys to play already. But designing a completely new game can be hard, and sometimes you need to take a detour to find the best route forward. We want to entertain you guys in the best possible way and our team is putting in every effort possible in order for that to happen. That is the way Remedy wants to do things. I'm sure you will enjoy Alan Wake when we're done. I cannot make any assertions as to whether or not this game will ever acutally make it out the door, but at least it's not on the chopping block. Hey, if Galleon and Prey can survive painfully long development cycles, so can Alan Wake .

You know, just in case you thought it kicked the development bucket or something. Also, in their post, Remedy candidly mentions that with Alan Wake 's development, "if everything had gone perfectly smoothly there probably would be a game out for you guys to play already." Going on to say that "designing a completely new game can be hard, and sometimes you need to take a detour to find the best route forward." In other words and to be frank, development of Alan Wake has been a b*tch!

Games get pushed back due to all sorts of problems. Some hit complete walls because new technology or consoles come out that render the current graphics engines obsolete. Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for so long that every joke and pun on its name have been done.

"We feel we owe you all a small heads up, and our apologies for lack of updates," he writes. "Seriously, yes, we're still here and working hard on getting Alan Wake for you to enjoy.

But designing a completely new game can be hard, and sometimes you need to take a detour to find the best route forward. ... I'm sure you will enjoy Alan Wake when we're done." We're sure we'll enjoy it too, Mika. We can't promise that we won't need our grandkids to explain the Xbox 1440's neuro-controls, but we're sure that beyond that it'll just be a hoot.

You haven't got the limited edition, you have zero Achievements and it doesn't look like it's going to arrive any time soon, either. But it's all going to be OK! Using the modern news distribution system of posting a comment on its own forum, Remedy has moved to reassure people. Reassure people that Alan Wake will come out eventually. Here's what Remedy's web man said...

We miss you! You showed your face, got us all excited, then buggered off and haven't been seen for months. That kind of business normally leads to speculation that a game's been canned.... Mon, 18 Aug 2008 12:20:00 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Alan+Wake?rinfoid=68110622 2008-08-18T12:20:00Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Alan+Wake?rinfoid=68117742 People have been expecting to hear more about Alan Wake for a long time, but it's been so long now that many are likely expecting to hear only that it's been canned. For those of us still interested in this "psychological action thriller," it should be noted that the game isn't dead yet, with developer Remedy stating that Alan Wake is still very much in the works. ...we're still here and working hard on getting Alan Wake for you to enjoy. Sure, we've been in development for a long time and if everything had gone perfectly smoothly there probably would be a game out for you guys to play already. But designing a completely new game can be hard, and sometimes you need to take a detour to find the best route forward. I wonder if "a detour" suggests that the next time we see Alan Wake , it'll be a very different beast from what we saw last. Was the Max Payne developer being a bit too ambitious when it first started making the game? In my experience, that's usually what happens when a title spends time in limbo followed by a developer making subtle hints about development changes. We shall see. Alan Wake still has a buzz surrounding it, but we'll need to see some solid stuff soon if people are going to keep caring.
