Alan Wake devs come out of seclusion for update

One could only wish...
Him and that other douchebag illusionist Criss Angel.

That's actually a pretty good point, they're both assholes.

They don't compare to Gob *fires up the final countdown*

@danny.

Plus one for you for the Arrested Development drop

there's always money in the banana stand *click click*

On first glance I thought we were going to get an awesome David Blane game.

I got all excited, I mean how fun would it be to sit in a vat of water for days, or stand on the top of a really tall pole for days, or...

Or sit in a glass box for forty days whilst cheerful Londoners float cheeseburgers past you, attached to RC helicopters.

they are called illusions

You may be right, Max Payne 3 did get announced in 2004...

Once it was announced for xbox 360, Too Human was only delayed 1 year. Splinter Cell 5 and Alan Wake are lagging.

How long was MGS4 in development for the PS3? At least 4 years, with something like 200 people working on it for the last 5 months? Yeah, that's the average amount of resources developers have to work on PS3 games. And that wasn't even drawn in 1280 x 720.

True, it was delayed largely because of problems they had with Unreal Engine 3 - it just a bit amusing because of the comments you see everytime some PS3 game gets delayed by a couple of months, while the most delayed games are actually on the 360.

And as for MGS4 - thats a great example of delaying a game to make it perfect. 3 million plus sold already, 90+ score, those few extra months were worth it.

You want to compare it to MGS4? Okay!

Too Human: Laughably bad, in production for 10 years
Splinter Cell: Sucked, and was completely redone ecuase it sucked
MGS4: Best game i've played EVER

I wonder who wins....

Too Human has not been in development for 10 years and you're clearing looking to troll for even suggesting that. It was in development for 360 2-3 years tops.

It was in one form or another existant on any number of other platforms, but that's hardly "in development". When it moves to another console entirely, I would consider that a new development timeframe since they started from scratch each time.

And why is a long development process such a big deal in the first place? It's such an immature argument. Does that mean any game made under 2 years sucks as well? Making it faster doesn't make it better. Shoving it out the door doesn't equal quality... Two Worlds anyone?

I'm not saying it's guaranteed quality because it's had more time, but to suggest that it makes the game worse is just asinine.

And if you want to act like Microsoft is to blame, need I remind you it was announced for PS1? It missed the boat entirely on that one, so your fanboyism shows in overlooking Sony and blaming Microsoft for a game that has nothing to do with either of them except console exclusitivity.

I'm not sure you fully understand the concept of sarcasm.

Actually I do but since it's not my native language something like that happens. More often than I'd wish. And it was meant to be "cynical prediction" if that's what you are correctly pointing at. You got me... satisfied now? Huh?

Well, if your bilingual you get big props from me, regardless.

Sorry that I was so pissy in my last post. I hate when that happens to me, you were absolutely right and I did actually mix up cynicism and sarcasm even though the words are virtually identical to their German counterparts which I should know by heart. Nevermind.

Not any more than your avatar creeps me out!

@tuna

You'd have a face like that too if someone took your bucket.

Nooo! they be takin mah buckit!
