Microsoft: No Alan Wake release day yet

Yes, but if and when this game comes out I'd hope that the 3-4 years we've been waiting on this game will be worth it. Although it is kindof nice not to have so much media around this game like most other games. Some games get way too much hype and they end up being crap. My 2 cents!!

No.

Yes I do, but for microsoft and remedy to be successful, I think they NEED for it to come out this holiday at the latest. cause by that time the drought of survival horror games will he over with silent hill and resident evil

Im still looking forward to it. Love Remedy. =D

It's still on my long-distance radar, sure. I await further details before commiting to purchase it or not though.

What was the game's selling point again?
Serious what was it?

I still periodically check in on it; the game play and story seem pretty good. And I agree with msusig, without all the hype there's not a ton of expectation with the game; although when it does come out it's likely to have the commercial success of good games that no one buys (psychonauts for instance).

How can a game be exclusive if it's on more than one platform? "Exclusive" used to mean you couldn't play that game on any other platform. At any rate, I guess it's good to see this game is at least still on track, and people haven't forgotten about it yet. I've been looking forward to Alan Wake for quite a while now, and the rumor that it had been pushed back to the next generation (Xbox 720?) was really worrying.

Alan Wake is in need of zombies... or mutants!

yes

Bummer. This and ME are really my only reasons for buying a 360. Get this bitch out already!

to Joey,

Alan Wake was a horror writer in the big city. His wife died and then he moved out to a lakeside town to "get away from it all." At that point, his old and current horror stories began manifesting themselves in real life when the sun went down. Now he has to find a way to stop the madness and survive! So, kind of like Stranger Than Fiction or Delirious but much darker.

That, my friend, is the hook. New lighting technology, wide open areas, talking to people during the day and running for your life at night.

It's funny because if you listen to the RE5 director, he mentions that light and dark elements play a large part in RE5. Someone isn't being original here. And, if Remedy fails to release before RE5, then it will really fail, both commercially and critically.

P.S - I meant that Capcom isn't being original, not Remedy. This game has been in the works since 2006 and I would like to think that, for once, Eastern developers are taking good ideas from Western developers.....Sorry, I didn't want to be misinterpreted here.
