Remedy Take Time Off To Explain Alan Wake Rumours News

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?

A demo? You're having a laugh, I'd make do with a trailer at this stage. It's gonna be a long time before we see Alan Wake hitting the Marketplace.

This game won't be released until either Microsoft sort out performance issues on Windows Vista, or the next generation of DX10 video card comes out. Hopefully MSGS has learnt something from the less than satisfactory FSX.

Does it remind anybody else of HP Lovecraft?
I really hope that it can live up to his works, as they have defined a bar of sorts to this kind of atmosphere.
