Alan Wake 'done' - Report

By Brendan Sinclair, GameSpotPosted Aug 17, 2009 4:18 pm PT

Remedy managing director says long-awaited Xbox 360 game is finished, undergoing polish in advance of release next year.

Finnish studio Remedy Entertainment first debuted Alan Wake at E3 2005. Now, more than four years later, the dark survival horror game is finally "done"--in a manner of speaking.

Have you met Alan Wake's half-brother, Joe Funeral?

Joystiq is reporting that Remedy managing director Matias Myllyrinne told the gaming blog after a GDC Europe presentation today that the game is "all done." However, "all done" is not the same as "gone gold," as Myllyrinne added, "We're just polishing at this point."

Alan Wake is currently expected to launch for the Xbox 360 next spring. A PC edition had originally been planned for release alongside the console version, but Remedy recently acknowledged that a simultaneous release is no longer planned.

"PC plans are currently open," a representative of the studio said at the time. "Remedy has a deep heritage in PC gaming and would love to see a PC version available to its PC followers. Ultimately, however, this decision lies with our publisher [Microsoft Game Studios]."

    Literally, I was watching this the first time with some friends," Silent Hill! Totally Silent Hill, little remote village, survival horror? Come on, Silent Hill.... Wha..?" Still, this really looks like a new survival horror must. Can't wait.

    CANOFOWNAGE, they don't release it for pc because they like to try to sell xbox's with their good games. see gears of war and halo. Halo 2 didnt come out till like 2 years after its xbox release and at that point the graphics were a joke. They like selling games, but they REALLY like selling xboxes

    lol who said anything about sales, they are only trying to optimize it for windows 7, microsoft wants it to be a solid lineup for windows 7.

    Think about it..Why release a potential killer franchise on pc when it could possibly push more console sales, and why would you even want to play this on pc anyways...these games are way better on consoles!
