Rumor: New Alan Wake trailer to debut before Max Payne -- in Finland

by Randy Nelson on Oct 1st 2008 1:30AM

Remedy is making Alan Wake; Remedy made Max Payne; Remedy is Finnish. The website Pelaajalehti is – along with being nigh-impossible to pronounce – also Finnish, and reports that a new trailer for the long lost Xbox 360 adventure of Mr. Wake will debut before a special preview screening of the Max Payne feature film in – you guessed it – Finland on October 15.

Last we heard, Remedy was apologizing for Alan Wake's tardiness, no-show status at E3, and general air of vaporware. Now, we can understand wanting to play to your home crowd, but how about a little love for those of us who don't exactly fancy ice swimming and Karjalanpiirakka?

Duke Nukem Forever will be out before Alan Wake.

Now that's just sad.

HOME will be out before Alan Wake, wrap your head around that one!

I think we have known about Alan Wake for at least two more years than home. Was one of the few reasons I bought my original 360.

So whats the big deal about this game again? I missed all the info about it.

There kind of isn't a big deal over it, really. It's a case of being hyped for the sake of being hyped...kinda like Nintendo's Disaster game, sort of (except now D:DoC is actually coming out).

Basically they showed a few interesting trailers for it eons ago and that's about it. They were all entirely cinematic and gave no hint as to what the game would play like, if I'm not mistaken.

Due to Remedy's excellent Max Payne games I'd guess it'd be at least good, 'great' will have to be seen.

What I *think* I remember is that the game takes place in the Pacific Northwest, maybe in the Columbia River gorge east of Portland. There's some sort of mystery to solve (vague I know). I think they were even taking the actual GPS info about the area, such as terrain, elevation, etc. so it would be like you were playing the game in a place that actually exists. So basically think Steven King novel in the Pacific Northwest.

This game is never going to Finnish

Aw, you beat me to it. Funny story, though. A friend of mine was having lunch with a friend of his who is Finnish. At some point during the meal, the waitress came up and asked her if she was finished, as in, with her food. She responded, "Why yes, I'm Finnish," and the waitress promptly took away her plate. She was not finished eating, sadly.

Norway is this game vapourware! A release date would Sweden the deal though.

I wish they would give this game a release date, as I could Denmark it in my calendar!

Maybe they could ask the users when we think the game will come out. Maybe set up a Poland let us leave comments...

jamaican me crazy!

Randy's waiting for a female friend to get off his computer before he makes a poll - after all, he wouldn't want to Russia.

Have patience, these things Moldova time.

Too far?

You forgot all of the badass metal bands from finland... i swear there has to be something in the water there. Like... LIQUID METAL!?!?!?!

Nightwish needs to do their soundtrack

The demo with the Intel quad-core in 2006 was so awesome. I wonder how far they've come since then.

So how much does it cost to fly to Finland?

Sweet! This game looked really interesting from the ol' trailers.

Psychological?
What, like an episode of Frasier?

It's also a PC title. Heck most (if not all) of what is shown was running on a PC. It's really annoying that some on the joystiq staff only see and breath console.

Makes sense: Each of the big 3 had a very promising looking vapor title at E3: Nintendo/Monolith's Disaster is already out (in Japan), we've seen solid gameplay vids of Sony/Quantic Dream's Heavy Rain, so it's high time Microsoft/Remedy's Alan Wake showed up to the party

Seems it would be wiser to let the whole world see that the game still exists. Why not show some love to the interweb?

Finally something Finnish people get first.
I've also got a FREE (FREE!!!!!) ticket for the preview screening (by a Finnish game magazine). :D

Alan Wake is a myth like women who strip to go to school.

And would that mean that Max Payne 3 is 360 exclusive?

I know a few women that wait and strip at the local Gold Club who also happen to be students. They say it is to help pay for school but that's just their excuss to do something as empowering as taking off a peice of clothing and making a thousand bucks without ever having to actually do anything. Plus one of them has a real drug problem they have to feed.

What there aren't any of is strippers who are actually honest sweet naive girls.

I am so stoked for this game. Cannot wait until it hits the PC.
