Yes, Alan Wake Is Getting DLC (56K Yay or Nay??)

Sorry if old.

Found this in Kotaku.

Excerpt from the article:

...like pretty much every other game these days! It's been known for some time that years-in-development psychological thriller Alan Wake will have an episodic nature. That nature will continue after the game is out.

The aim, it seems, is to created gaming's version of something like the television drama Lost. At CES, Microsoft has confirmed that the game will have DLC — something that Alan Wake creator and writer Sam Lake hinted at last month in an interview with GameSpot.

When asked about post release content, Lake replied, "We have talked about it, and with our episode-based structure, it would be very logical. But nothing has been decided on the matter, and right now, we are fully focused on polishing the game and shipping it. After that, let's see."

With the game not yet shipped, it looks like Microsoft and developer Remedy Entertainment have taken a break from being fully focused on the game and confirm Alan Wake DLC at this year's CES.

So what do you think?

Great news, it will add longevity to the game.

If they make it good, it's great news. IronBass

I am just waiting for the game itself right now, lol. If it impresses me like I think it will, I'll be game for continuing the experience.

As long as the main game is not really short then I think great. Why would you not want more of a great game?CanYouDiglt

Reading comprehension.

"But nothing has been decided on the matter, and right now, we are fully focused on polishing the game and shipping it. After that, let's see."

Did you do it?

If one word could describe this generation it would be, "MILKAGE". You never ever get the full game anymore. Soon your gunna have to buy each chapter individually. That isnt even a stretch for me to say that either.

Before makes it seem like it could be on the disk. Just like heavy rain i doubt that game uses 50GB and its doing the same thing as alan wake.Fightingfan

[QUOTE="IronBass"][QUOTE="SaltyMeatballs"] I agree. I don't like when they announce games will have DLC before they're even released.Fightingfan

[QUOTE="Fightingfan"][QUOTE="IronBass"] What's the difference between announcing before or after?SaltyMeatballs

I don't see why people dislike DLC so much. Especially when some DLC is good and actually expands the game.

This looks to be the good kind.

Eh... I dont like the idea of releasing a full game then releasing episodic dlc. Just have the whole game be episodic then so I dont feel like Im not going to get the whole story if I buy a full game, or that they could have put more in the game I paid 60$ for but decided to leave it more open for dlc. It would be fine if like they would start making it and month after month they would put out new episodes at like 10$ each then that might be cool but this isn't imo

If it'll be like the DA:O expansion I don't see watch not to like. New episodes with a good amount of content seems fine with me if the game is good.

They should really announce the DLC AFTER the game is released.

I have nothing against DLC after it's released. but DLC is starting to sound like Trophies and Achievements.

When they announce it before the Game's Release it seems like the DLC is being forced on the developers.

When DLC was new it was like another part of the Story or an Add-on something that's not in the Original Game.

now it just seems like "Oh we'll have DLC." like it was meant to have DLC, not it wasn't supposed to have DLC but now it does.

Great news, it will add longevity to the game.
