Yes, ladies and gents, like expected, Alan Wake was absent from E3. That listing on e3.net proved to be false like we all suspected. I'm not disappointed though because I knew Alan would not show. I'm curious though as to the answer Shane Kim will give to reporters as to why Alan is still sleeping. "We have to be very careful on how we show this game" is my bet.

Well, convention season is far from over. E3 first day isn't even over yet, but if Alan was going to be shown, it would have been today. But, that didn't happen. So, us Alan Wake faithful have to keep our heads up and look torwards Leipzig Games Convention in Germany next month from August 20th-24th. I'm placing most of my hopes on the game appearing there for several reasons. It's closer to home for Remedy, it's after their company vacation, and it's a smaller convention where, if they make an appearance, all eyes will be on them.

But if Alan doesn't show there, I guess we have to put our hopes on an unlikely convention, Tokyo Game Show in October.

I'll update next month during Leipzig on the status of Alan Wake, or sooner. If that ends up being the case. :)
