A Spokesperson for Remedy has stated that the curtain over Alan Wake "won't continue for much longer"...

Speaking as a "Super Moderator" on the Alan Wake forums, a Spokesperson for Remedy has stated that more details on Alan Wake, the somewhat enigmatic psychological thriller game, will soon be released.

The Spokesperson commented, "Patience. The media "blackout" won't continue for too much longer," in response to many probing comments from gamers who are clearly yearning for any further information on the game.

Microsoft and Remedy Entertainment still haven't attached a release date to the title, which was originally announced almost two years ago. Here's hoping that the mystery surrounding the game at this point continues on into the gameplay itself when Alan Wake is eventually released.

[UPDATE] Following this post on the Alan Wake forums, the Forum Tech Editor has been quick to poor water on the flames of news articles reporting this supposed lifting of the "media blackout":

"Just an announcement to everyone that this is not "news" and we don't know when the media blackout is to end," said the Forum Tech Editor.

Also, the forum's Super Moderator clarified his/her earlier comment:

"Of course, I meant that in the sense that Microsoft has been mentioning "2008" for the past couple of months, and if you take in to account the time needed for proper marketing and promotion, my guess is that we are not too far off seeing something new."

I happy with this direction. The one drawback to sandbox games is that it's hard to tell a compelling story in that context. Compare Bioshock or Dead Space to TES IV: Oblivion or Farcry 2 or Fallout 3. As great as sandbox games are I think this new direction will make Alan Wake much more satisfying as a story and as a thriller.

OnLive and similar ventures could change all of that. Publishers will be clambering all over the PC if cloud gaming takes off.

For a couple of years nowI have been flamed and even banned at one gaming site for saying AAA mainstream PC gaming is on it's last legs. I say this as a 20 year PC gamer who has never owned a console. I say this eith a sad heart. But it's what I beleive. This is just another one of many signs that what I have predicted is coming true.  Last year Gamespot reviewed just 52 PC games, the year before it was 98. The average review score in 2008 was 68%,in 2007 it was 75%. Retail stores around the world are having clearout sales.

There'll still be the odd indie game,and of course we have easy pc retro gaming thanks to DOSBox and sites like GOG, but no longer will there be the headlines and the mainstream coverage of PCgaming as we have had for the last 15-20 years. It will be on the periphery, like stamp collecting is today, or folk music. Not gone completely, but a lot less visiable to the general gaming marketplace.

I wouldn't be surprised if we get this same situation with Borderlands - and they'll be more. It's so so sad, but it has to be said so there is a just a miniscule chance of change happening at the last minute....

STOP working on AW?  After I've waiting over four years for it?  No way...I'd rather play a crap AW and be disappointed than never play it at all.

 

That would be like having a family member disappear - I need closure!

I'm beyond caring about Alan Wake now.  Evidently Remedy revealed that game way, way too early...  It looked awesome three years ago, but everything has come on a long way now.

The only way Alan Wake can possibly suceed is by being a great game - I'm not entirely sure whether shining lights before shooting the enemy sounds like a particularly great or innovative combat mechanic.

I've got a better idea - STOP working on alan Wake and put Remedy back on Max Payne 3 - that way we might actually see Payne heading back to where he belongs.
