Thanks for the info. So if they don't do a DX11 version are we likely looking at no AA outside of driver based or injected post process solutions?

Are you referring to me?
So Alan wake is now once again relevant withing the PC community...
I kid, I guess this is good news for Remedy and PC gamers, but how is this good move for MS and the 360 in terms of keeping exclusives.
I don't see how it can be a bad move. The game was released a year and a half ago. A PC release can only expand the audience for the next AW installments, both of which might probably end up being exclusive Xbox titles.
Oh I understand that, but as far as sheer xbox360 exclusives go, MS is really fucking the pooch on this one IMO.

At this point in the gen exclusives don't really matter outside of list/system wars.

how so?
It does matter if someone wants to buy xbox or ps3.
Anyways Glad PC users will be able to play the game.
With the libraries as big as they are now, they don't really matter. The vast majority of people buy consoles to play 3rd party games.
Red Dead Redemption 2012?! Please?
Watering those PC mouths, make AW2 exclusive for loop.
Is the Stream reg entry basically a confirmation or were there cases where an entry appeared, but the game never game out?
Valve has renamed all of the registry entries dealing with Alan Wake to VTA108710, so I guess that wasn't supposed to be revealed yet.
Final Fantasy VII and VIII were added like a year and a half ago and never showed up, but generally if it's added to the registry it's basically 99% confirmed.

Thanks.
Then I guess those games are the exception, because the PC ports are really bad and the games are not resolution independent (max 640x480 for 7 and max 800x600 for 8, I think), due to the pre-rendered backgrounds.
Also Saw II is in the Steam registry and has a profile in the nvidia drivers for like a year now, but obviously it's never coming. Not anymore.
But I'm pretty sure this will come.
Yes but having some exclusives can help increase hardware sales(Halo) thus having some exclusives is never a bad thing.
No, I wasn't referring to you. I was referring to those people arguing that the game ended up being linear because development was shifted to the 360 and those even saying that the game would have been much better with a sandbox approach, which was quite a widespread idea when the game was released.
The way I understand it, I think that many people were simply disappointed that they couldn't play the game on their (unarguably superior) platform of choice, especially given the developer's strong PC background. I think that's a perfectly legitimate stance.
What I don't understand is people giving unfair criticism of the game of even flat out refusing to play the game now because of that so-called betrayal on Remedy's/Microsoft's part. They are releasing the same game those people wanted to play, only with superior graphics, no sub-HD resolution or tearing. I think that's fantastic news, but, instead, some people just prefer to downplay the game's merits, nitpicking to no end, even without having played it. That's just sad.
At this point in the gen exclusives don't really matter outside of list/system wars.
WTF?
You can actually play those games you know. It isn't as if they exist only for people to list them.
I've heard this "repetitive" complaint several times reading impressions about AW. What makes it so? Repetitiveness is like my biggest pet peeve in games because I just stop playing and it's wasted money.I have the 360 limited edition.
I got to about 70% of the story, before the 360 died, but what i played was extremely fucking boring and repetitive.
I might give it another shot if it gets cheap on PC, though, because there was some good in there, i'm sure.

They even think of charging full price for this game and they can leave it.
Please sell better on PC than on 360. That might help Microsofts outlook on the platform.
Heh, it didn't do so hot on 360 but I can't see it selling better on PC, especially when considering it's almost two years old. Still, I would certainly like to see it happen. Remedy are one of my favorite devs so I hate to miss out on their games just cuz I don't have an Xbox.
Yeah, I thought the 360 sales were pretty poor (unfortunately). It should have longer legs on PC surely? The hardcore PC crowd are a loyal bunch, and the Remedy name no doubt means more to them than the average 360 gamer. At the right price... it could be possible.
Please?!

I think it will sell more on pc. it only sold 1 million on 360 and with steam sales I think it can sell more on pc.
