MICROSOFT GAME STUDIOS AND REMEDY PARTNER IN DELIVERING "ALAN WAKE "

Psychological action thriller slated as exclusive for Windows Vista and Xbox 360
Today at Microsoft's E3 press conference, Microsoft Game Studios confirmed it will publish "Alan Wake," the highly anticipated psychological action thriller by the renowned and successful developer, Remedy. The title will be made exclusively for Windows and the Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system.
"We are truly excited about the opportunity to work with the gifted and experienced Remedy team," said Frank Pape, Senior Director of Business Development at Microsoft. "Our teams are dedicated to pushing the envelope of the gaming experience for Windows and the Xbox 360 with 'Alan Wake.' Millions of gamers have come to expect highly innovative and compelling content from Remedy and Microsoft Game Studios is proud to partner with them on this phenomenal title."
"Partnering with Microsoft Game Studios creates a complementary blend of talents and a shared passion to create something incredible," said Petri Järvilehto, Creative Director at Remedy. "We put a lot of effort into finding the best publisher match for our game and the Remedy team. As a result, we are thrilled to work with MGS to make 'Alan Wake' the game it deserves to be and to continue our track record of success."
Set in the deceptively idyllic town of Bright Falls, Washington, "Alan Wake" places gamers in the role of the best-selling suspense author, Alan Wake. He escapes to this small town to recover from the mysterious disappearance of his fiancée. In Bright Falls Wake comes face to face with his darkest nightmares.
"Alan Wake" immerses players in an intense and expansive cinematic world that enables players to roam freely in hyper-realistic, dynamic and interactive environments. "Alan Wake" is mission-based with a deeply engaging and suspenseful storyline unveiling new twists and profound character revelations at every turn. Players will unravel the riveting plot through character interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat against terrifying enemies. In this nightmarish world, Alan Wake must use a variety of weapons to survive, including his most powerful ally against the creatures of darkness -- light itself.

Storyline alan.wake.faq

Alan Wake is a bestselling horror writer. Early on in his career, his fiancée Alice, was his muse. When he'd first met her, he had started to see strange dreams which he used as material for his first book. The book was a big success. It was a dream come true.

But then Wake's fiancée vanished without a trace. Wake was devastated. After that, he couldn't write anymore. His dreams stopped and he began to suffer from insomnia.

At the beginning of the game, Wake travels to a sleep clinic to seek treatment for his condition. The secluded clinic is located near the small town of Bright Falls, Washington, far away from the stressful urban lifestyle. Receiving treatment at the clinic, Wake is able to sleep again. At the clinic, he meets a mysterious woman who is the very image of his missing fiancée, uncannily so. At once, his dreams return, this time as terrible nightmares. Wake begins to write again: a new book based on those nightmares.

But something is horribly, horribly wrong.

Impossibly, the town of Bright Falls starts to change to something awful that bears a close resemblance to Wake's new book. Wake ends up fighting for his life with a gun and a flashlight in his hands, trying to understand what's happening.

It might get released released.....might...

I'm interested. Any game that has taken this long should be at least halfway decent.

Just learned the game is no longer open world. Disappointing. Still hoping this one is good, the setting and premise sound fairly interesting and the gameplay I've seen looks good.

IMO Daikatana was not publicized like Alan Wake. Shortly after the 360 release Microsoft was pumping their fist about this exclusive game in 2005. A game that takes 5 years to make better be killer IMO.

Maybe for an actually released game but I'd say overall the biggest fail goes to Duke Nukem Forever. That game has been hyped since around 1997.

I agree, but that is more of a pissing contest between two companies involved with the game. Last I heard, we could still see it, but with the latest court cases, I wouldnt hold my breath:(
