Alan Wake will stay up late with post-launch DLC 'episodes'

by Randy Nelson on Jan 6th 2010 11:28PM

Remedy's Xbox 360-exclusive Alan Wake, described as "the TV show Lost, as written by Stephen King, and filmed by David Lynch," by Microsoft Entertainment & Devices head Robbie Bach will -- much like Fable II -- be expanded upon via additional downloadable episodes. Bach made the announcement concerning the long-in-development title during the company's CES 2010 keynote this evening, saying, "story-driven like a TV series, Alan Wake will be told in episodes with even more episodes available on Xbox Live after its launch this year."

Let's just hope Remedy isn't taking cues from The Sopranos when deciding how long it will be between the release of the game's episodes.

can we please get a full game instead of paying $60 + tax for what's essentially a trial and $10-$20 for extra episodes? The internet will kill single-player gaming as we know it.

"much like Fable II "

are you kidding me? all they did with fable II was break the game up into sections, and re-released it online. Not even new episodes, the exact same game. as if anyone who wanted to, had still not played fable a full year after the initial release. the XBLM is turning into a buffet of turds.

Yeah, that's kind of strange. I remember it being promoted on the Intel press conference a few years back as a PC game that takes full advantage of multiple processor cores. I really hope it will make it's way to PC eventually.

Episodic? This does not arouse me...

Reminds me of Forza 3 with DLC available right after release as they could not fit the content on the 2 DVD discs. Hope there isn't a charge for what should be included out of the box.
