It's pretty obvious that the game will be on the PC..... MS just wants to delay its release, make people think its only available on 360 to help sales. What possible reason could Remedy or MS have for not releasing the game on PC.... considering the game is nearly done. I guarantee that within 6 months of the console release you'll see the game ship out on the PC... maybe sooner than that.

It may go to PC but there is no guaranteeing that since I'm certain most thought Halo 3 would be on PC by now along with Gears 2 as well so, just sayin.

That might be true. However when you've finally got it I've moved on to bigger and better things. I'm also free to be a real **** and ruin the ending for you if i feel like it.

edit: I also feel the need to point out the same was said about H3, Fable 2 and Gears 2. Course now people act like they don't want them. :lol:

Alan Wake isn't being marketed as a huge system seller like Halo 3 or Gears. It's sales wont compare to those 2 games, so I see it coming to PC earlier to garner more sales.

If it gets a later release, hopefully Remedy will enhance it to make up for the delay. In the meantime, it's not like there's a lack of games on PC.

It will go to PC but of coarse be delayed. MS wants more sales for their 360 platform so they delay the release. They said this in an article I read.

Whilst I agree it won't be as big as those two, when MS Starts the marketing campaign for A.W. _ I see them spending a bunch as i think they think it's a biggie for 360. In the end, the title will likely go to PC but how long after the 360's A.W. launch will matter to many who just don't want to wait.

Halo's engine is console-optimized, so porting's a bear. I recall that's part of what made Halo 2 on PC such a bear. As for Gears 2 on PC, that's probably down to sales results from Gears 1 not being worth the return on investment to port the code. But Remedy is a PC dev foremost (that's where they got their start--and it's their expertise). Their engine was designed from the outset to be multiplat, so the necessary investment needed to port the game to PC cannot be that great.

I have a feeling the probability of a PC version will probably rely on how well it sells on the 360. If it sells well then they would probably use the extra money they got from sales to continue PC development. If it sells poorly on the 360 then they would probably think it would sell poorly on the PC and not spend extra development costs; especially with piracy.

For all you know the game could be utter trash, I would wait to see how it turns out before you worry about a PC version. Lots of high profile games flop.

Could be but it was always the PC gamers that actually was intrested about the game. It's gonna flop bad. pc gamers are already starting conversations to boycott the game. Good work remedy and MS.

This and this. MS probably did not anticipate the delay in the game, heralding it as a Vista exclusive. It will be out by the middle of next year for the PC. I think some 360 owners are counting their chickens before they've hatched.

MS just wants to delay its releasewhatisazerg
Or maybe they want to rush the 360 version? I hope I'm wrong and you are right. But yeah, it's definitely going to PC.

That is a great opinion but without a link to dev announcing it I put no weight in your statement.

I don't think Microsoft will be publishing any games on PC aside from solitaire. So it will remain 360 exclusive unless another publisher steps in like happened with Bioware's Mass Effect.

It's completely different though. Halo 3 and Gears 2 were assumed to be coming out on the pc because of developers previous tactics. Alan Wake was a PC game for the past 5 years. They wont just drop unfinished code for a game they have been developing for that long. I'm sure if they wanted to they could release a very bugged out version barely playable for pc users and it would probably run fairly well performance wise on pcs. It will come out for pc mark my words it's just a mareting strategy for the 360 and I respect that since the pc is plagued by some serious pirating.

Except for the fact the first footage shown of the game was from the PC version.
