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 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.
