Database update is when the registrant makes any changes to nameserver etc.

Fingers crossed then!

 

[CorrisD]

Hopefully multi-platform from day this time instead of the like year and half delay.

Nope, whois uses many global databases which are updated frequently to include information about every domain. When the domain's details are changed, it shows up on the Updated field of each domain, in this case:

whois alanwake2.com

Whois Server Version 2.0

Domain names in the .com and .net domains can now be registered
with many different competing registrars. Go to http://www.internic.net

Job listings suggest they are working on the next iteration of the engine and the new project is "future generation consoles". Clearly not 360 or PS3.

Great news

That's different. I am talking about this - http://www.namepros.com/domain-newbies/683009-database-last-updated-what-does-mean.html

edit: anyway, it popped up today I think so I guess it means something, if I am wrong we can gladly close it and everyone will hate me :/

 

[Vinterbird]

I'm holding out for more Panzer Dragoon Kinect (whatever it was called) and hopefully (but doubtful) some word on a new Project Gotham game.

Crimson Dragon is coming out next week, so it will probably only be there in sizzle reel format.

That is the time when the registrar's own whois server has updated its own database.

See for example:

whois alanwake2.com
Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com

whois -h whois.networksolutions.com alanwake2.com
Record expires on 28-Dec-2013.
Record created on 28-Dec-2005.
Database last updated on 4-Jun-2012 07:23:29 EDT.

For reference:
whois -h whois.networksolutions.com alanwake.com

Record expires on 07-Feb-2016.
Record created on 07-Feb-2005.
Database last updated on 4-Jun-2012 07:23:27 EDT.

You'll get a different time for the database last updated field almost every time you run the query if there are frequent changes to the database.

 

[Elginer]

YES YES YES MORE ALAN WAKE PLEASE!!!!!

Guess i'll pretend this isn't true and still hype a (im?)possible E3 announcement

 

[Solo]

First game rocked, so I'm down for another, day one style.

What I realllllly need is a Red Dead R______ announcement soon though......

 

[Snuggles]

Sweet, but I'm hoping it's titled Alan Wake: The Return. I might have to buy a 360 for this since I doubt it'll see a PC release as quickly as American Nightmare, but I shouldn't get ahead of myself yet lol.

I think this is next gen AW as someone above mentioned new engine for next gen systems.

We should not get our hopes up for E3 this year anyway

 

[Vinterbird]

Needs to be bolded and written in massive font in every post. People are setting themselves up for a massive disappointment.

Remedy has been hiring people for a next gen console project so I doubt we'll see AW2 on 360.

 

[Aostia]

Yes, I really hope to see it tonight!

 

[Gbraga]

If it's really for the "Xbox 3", I hope it comes out in the first 2 years of the console, please don't take 5 more years from the moment the next gen comes out to release it >_<

 

[Pyronite]

LOGIC IN THIS THREAD GUYS

A domain registration takes about $10 a YEAR. They would have registered these as early as possible (as people have already mentioned).

 

[catapult37]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaah!! Playing through American Nightmare right now and I need more Alan Wake! So glad this series survived its initial reception. Woo!!

 

[Deleted member 81567]

Does Remedy have to be there in order to announce it?

 

[Spiders]

No, but they said there wouldn't be any announcements at E3 this year.

 

[def sim]

If this is headed for next gen, I'd expect it to be more of what they initially promised us with the IP. I loved Alan Wake, but imagine doing all that in an open world setting.

 

[randomwab]

No, but they said there wouldn't be any announcements at E3 this year.

Isn't that what they'd say if it were a surprise?

I'm on to you, Remedy!

 

[Neuromancer]

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

Damn it, Microsoft. No Alan Wake 2 announcement.

 

[Kevin]

Remedy stated that they would NOT be at E3 this year so I do wonder why they seem to be teasing Alan Wake 2 if they are not at E3 this year...

I was hoping it was misdirection.

 

[RiccochetJ]

Loved AW. Remedy has my money.

 

[Bluth54]

I'm ready for Alan Wake 2, I've played through the 360 version twice and pc version once, it's one of my favorite games this gen. I'm really hoping I don't have to wait too long for the PC version this time, I'm not planning on getting Microsoft's next console.

 

[ArjanN]

They probably knew they'd get some free headlines if they teased something around E3 time.
