Possible Signs of Alan Wake 2
Remedy Entertainment creators of the horror themed game Alan Wake posted a job ad for a senior level designer to join its "AAA console team." Apparently, according to the job ad, Remedy's looking for a person to work on a game that's a "well-balanced mix of compelling narrative and intense action." They also stressed that this person must collaborate the level designer has to collaborate with the design and writing teams in order to "make sure the game matches the storyline and vision as a whole."

Well, that sounds brilliant. Just make sure that the game doesn't take too long to develop, which was the case with the original.

Alan Wake was indeed a lame attempt (too stripped)

Did Alan Awake actually get released?

Took me awhile, but I finally got around to playing Alan Wake about a month ago. I really liked it. Amazing atmosphere in that game.

If you're the kind of person that finds old abandoned buildings in rural locations to be fascinating and/or spooky, you should especially play Alan Wake. I love to explore stuff like that in real life, and Alan Wake is pretty much the video-game manifestation of it... you know, plus the whole deal with shadow-zombies constantly trying to murder you and everything.

It's true that the game is a bit short if you don't take your time, but if you're thorough looking for the hidden items in the episodes, you should exceed ten hours of gameplay. And since a lot of the hidden items are actually interesting and/or plot relevant (e.g the TV shows, manuscript pages), it's easier to justify doing.

Also, quality-wise, the epilogue DLC episodes are pretty good, too (although they should really be 400 MS points instead of 560). Give them a miss though if you only care about story relevancy... they don't really add anything narratively significant to the original ending, they just extend it some with some additional interesting gameplay.


But anyway, all in all, I'll be delighted if there's a sequel. I sort of see now why Time chose it for its Game of the Year. Not saying I agree with their choice, given the other candidates for 2010, but Alan Wake in and of itself pretty much epitomizes -- in a good way -- what "next-gen" video-games are all about on a narrative and artistic level.

I liked the idea of Alan Wake, but kept hoping for a more sinister twist into the unknown, but got Alans fat friend lead into more of the same crap youve done the entire game.

How cool would it be if they end up shafting the 360 players by announcing that its a PC exclusive a few months before its release?

Nah, just kidding. Saw the game at a rather low price recently and might just get it, it looks like a fun game.

You know what, exclusives to ANY platform are fucking lame.
