Remedy Entertainment clarifies earlier rumours and suggests TGS isn't a certainty...
A spokesperson for Remedy Entertainment today confirmed that rumours about Alan Wake finally surfacing at this year's Tokyo Game Show, are in fact false.
The reports originally came about due to the appearance of a competition looking for a face to appear in the Xbox 360/Vista psychological/thriller, which stated that the winner would then "jet off to Tokyo to the 2008 Tokyo Games Show to be on the scene and on the screen!"
However closer inspection reveals that the competition finished on March 30th 2007, with the winner already confirming his trip to Remedy last year!
Markus Maki, Director of Development at Remedy Games, clarified the point, commenting:
"The Microsoft Vista promotion referring to TGS took place in 2007, and is old news - we've had the winner over for taking the pictures already.
Sorry for the confusion and possible disappointment, but this was not an announcement that Wake would be shown at TGS 2008. Remedy's team is just getting back from a bit of holiday and we haven't had time to chat with Microsoft on upcoming shows/showings yet."
TVG just questions why TGS 08 was mentioned in the original competition description and what on earth the entire team were doing on holiday. We know Remedy is a relatively small team and the pressure for Alan Wake must be huge, but it's been nearly two years since we last saw anything on the game - surely it's not time for the entire team to have a holiday?

I think of Alan Wake as this: 30 minutes of story, 6 hours of painful filler. You spend more than 95% of the game walking towards your next destination, down winding paths and in circles. I felt like the story and the graphics were good, but the gameplay was boring and repetitive. Just like the first assassins creed.

I think Alan Wake will struggle to shift even 2 million units, and considering Remedy has been bankrolling a lot of its development via the money they earned by selling Max Payne, I think they'll probably end the way of many developers...
But then again I'm quite a pessimist.

Yeah, I hear what you're saying about a sequel, but there's very little chance that Remedy will go back to the sandbox thing now after everything that's happened.

Settle down you buck toothe nerds. do you actually think there wont be an alan wake 2. obviously they spent 5 years creating 1 game they lost alot fo money in the mean time. in the end im sure it was a decision purely for profit reason to make 2 games out of the one creation. the net one witch im sure they will release will be open world and truely bad ass. the first one, maybe a taste of wat sandbox games can look like.

Totally agree - Alan Wake was never worth waiting 5 years for.
In 2005 we were promised something that Remedy clearly didn't deliver. As a David Lynch fan, I'm insulted that he was named as an early influence. Alan Wake throws desperate attempts to be Lynchian, but falls on its face because of the emphasis on action/combat in the gameplay.
Even the light dynamic is generic and woeful, utterly shallow system. Back when it was an open world game I imagined situations like the setting of a sun dramatically changing the gameplay and atmosphere - pleasant (yet a little odd) town exploring during the day (meet the residents, develop the plot, gameplay respite) that twists into the terrors when the sun goes down.
Instead we got lots of generators and the occasional chance to switch a floodlight on temporarily.
Not an awful game if you want a shooter with scares, but nothing close to the potential the original pitch suggested.
