Man Alan wake is probably the best single player action adventure this gen after uncharted 2, is anyone planning to buy this game? I mean its got 470k-ish out, I haven't finished the game (episode 2 still almost done with it) but the game is seriously fantastic anyone else wanna spread alan wake by word of mouth? I mean the game is easily the best action adventure on the 360. Thoughts? I'm gonna try convincing people to buy it... man i sound desprate but... I kind of am.

looks generic.

That's what happens when you release a game next to two of the biggest games of this gen.

Such is the life of a video game dev. You win some, and you lose some.

Canceling the PC version was a good call then, amirite MS?

Port it to the PC....tagyhag

MAYBE IF THEY ACTUALLY ADVERTISED IT!!!! MS is really pissing me off....Anyway, cant wait for the dlc.wolverine4262

Call Sony, they like funding this kind of risky niche games!

1st of all alan wake took way to long to come out

2nd its way too short

3rd they changed it from open world to a linear game

:o

Ohh my god

Seriously.

Series doesn't sell like Cod or gears on your system you gonna can it?

That's a shame, if only the first game had sold better. I feel for Alan Wake fans, the game looked awesome.fabz_95

Maybe it will actually come now, huh? :P

Still need to buy the game, but from what I played at my friends the game was great.

They did some advertising...in Canada.

Pray that Alan Wake 2 is picked up by Sony.

I think plenty of 360 owners would have bought the game.... if they knew it existed.wolverine4262

That's true. I don't remember seeing a single ad outside of the odd web one here and there. Still, I would like to have the game on PC.

ALAN WAKE was an awesome game so damn you MS

Its on my list of 360 games I want to play as soon as the price drops to $200. wstfld

I never understood the sense of releasing Alan Wake only on the 360. Remedy fans are all on the PC, PC gamers were hyped for the game, the 360's demographic is usually seen as mainly action-shooter games (Alan Wake is fairly more niche than most others), Microsoft themselves are heavily pushing for a further casual demographic with Kinetic, coupled with a complete lack of advertising why are they surprised it sold poorly?-Feath-

tbh it doesn't make sense anyways since they just said they were putting more money behind 1st party stuff

so uh... why not put some behind Alan Wake 2?

imo they should just release it on PC and get it over with

I'm sorry to say this, but this is not surprising news at all. I've been following all the console companies for a long time, and this isn't surprising, and I saw it coming.

We'll see how Remedy's next game turns out, since they take 5+ years to make games (New IP's + New Engines), I guess we should see them surface again in 2015. Maybe they better make the next game multiplatform, or at least not cut of the PC last second.

A large majority of REMEDY fans are PC users, and they got cut off from buying this game last minute. I know it was just a way to help sell more 360's, but that plan backfired as it resulted in Alan Wake's low sales.

Good game, I have it, it's a shame.

EDIT : Obviously, I'm talking about their next gen game, if they use the Alan Wake engine and assets, they obviously could make a sequel faster, as they said in the article. This is the 3rd time I've seen this article in SW, so I assumed you guys knew that, but it was my mistake assuming this is an old article. it's new to some of you.

Max Payne took over 5 years, but they cooked out a sequel sooner. They claimed the same for Alan Wake 2, if they were allowed too. However, in light of this news, it doesn't appear they are going to be allowed to make an ALAN Wake 2, so the "5+" years I'm talking about would be a NEW IP, on a next generation machine. I thought it was obvious, but my mistake, as it's not so obvious for some.

I want to tell you otherwise, but... :P Honestly, between my Wii, PS3, and PC, I have more than enough games. I really don't need anymore! :P It's nothing against the 360, it's a quality console, but I am happy with what I have.

The franchise should license themselves under Sony so you can get TRUE open-world experience.
We all know what is going to happen to them under M$.
