Media "Blackout" On Alan Wake To Lift [UPDATE] News

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."

The graphics were amazing three years ago, but three generations of GPU's have come and gone since then. Stalker had amazing graphics too, but they took so long to releast it, that they were just OK, nothing special.

the longer Remedy go without giving us new info on it, the more and more interest is going to be lost on this title. Max Payne wasn't even that good. It was repetitive, with cliched dialogue. Show off some new screens or a gameplay vid, damn it.

You better wait for Alone in the Dark on PS3 - Atari still hasn't nailed a release date down for that version, unlike all the others schedueld for June.

Also no chance of Alan Wake on PS3 - it's a Microsoft Game Studios title!

For the sake of plausibility, do you have the exact words of the "Microsoft spokesperson"?

I so badly want this game to be THE game, but I can't help but feel like this is Duke Nukem Forever 2 - will it actually ever come out?
