Comments from Remedy on the official Alan Wake forums suggest that the game may not release on PC...
While we were certainly glad when Alan Wake finally emerged from its very long media blackout at E3 this year, we're less than glad to hear news that the game may not make it to the PC despite originally being announced for the Xbox 360 and PC platforms.
That was way back at E3 2005 though. Fast forward to July 2009 and, when gamers asked Remedy for a straight answer about the fate of the PC version, this is what studio head, Markus Maki had to say on the official Alan Wake forums:
"Unfortunately all I can say at this point is that we're focusing all our efforts on the 360 version and will be making comments in regards to the PC at a later time."
It doesn't look good PC fans. We'll just be impressed if the game does actually get released in spring 2010, or at all for that matter.

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.
