its going to take a lot to get the hype rolling on this one again. hype train left the building like a year ago

 

[CzarTim]

Have you watched Twin Peaks?

Err no. It's based on that? I always got the impression that show unraveled pretty quickly. :lol

 

[MidiSurf]

He looks like a silent hill main character.

Nah, he looks like Ilkka Villi.

I'm so hyped for this game, can't wait to see the trailer. Although I have to wait two more days to see it

 

[Kritz]

Here's hoping this game will impress. The wait for this game is making my butts clench.

 

[zoukka]

More hope for HD from Finland fuck yeah!

If it is as good as I think it will be, the hype train will be moving full steam ahead in no time.

And if what Edge magazine said is true, there should be quite the difference between the PC and console versions... these guys are VERY good technically, though, so who knows how far they can push the 360. I like to think that they can do it more than anyone else thus far.

Edge also said the game is different nowadays, I wonder what it means...

 

[MidiSurf]

Have you seen Rainy Woods?

What about it ?

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Me wance dis gaem!

 

[Truant]

What about it ?

There's a difference between inspiration and a ripoff.

 

[Shake Appeal]

You might be waiting all day, and into tomorrow.

 

[FirewalkR]

You might be waiting all day, and into tomorrow.

We're here to stay.

 

[FFChris]

I'm predicting massive disappointment.

Then again, I always do.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

We should do something while we wait...

 

[Sleeker]

I'm here now waiting too.

 

[Fuzz Rez]

Isn't this little too early ? I mean todays screening is for VIP and press guests and I really doubt any of them will provide us alan wake material.

Don't you know? Movie press loooooves video games. Just ask Roger Ebert.

 

[BeeDog]

I will be mighty pissed if they have canned the PC version, but other than that, I'm pretty hyped. Will be great hearing something new about this game.

Well the trailer will be shown only in Finland and finnish movie press doesn't care for games.

Don't worry it will be out on PC and that's 100% sure. But still it's vista only.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Are we there yet?

 

[BeeDog]

Don't worry it will be out on PC and that's 100% sure. But still it's vista only.

Don't know how you're so sure about this, but if true, then I'm all set.

 

[Ozorov]

It's indeed true.

 

[RJT]

I was being ironic...

This is what he said about gaming:

I am prepared to believe that video games can be elegant, subtle, sophisticated, challenging and visually wonderful ... but I believe the nature of the medium prevents it from moving beyond craftsmanship to the stature of art. To my knowledge, no one in or out of the field has ever been able to cite a game worthy of comparison with the great dramatists, poets, film-makers, novelists and composers.

Getting a real Twin Peaks vibe here....

Edit: and it looks like other people have noticed this before me also.

Really? It looks far more like an HP Lovecraft styled affair from what we know.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Well, Remedy have openly admitted the Twin Peaks affectation, so yes, I have noticed it.

Apparently both Pelit and Pelaaja gave away free tickets to todays screenings.

Edit: ok, just Pelit.

 

[-SD-]

One of the few upcoming games that truly has me hyped.

Same here.

Mafia 2 is another one.

 

[El-Suave]

Do we have to depend on a few finnish friends to secretly record the thing and upload it somewhere, or will it be made available to the general public in good quality soon after it premiered?

This?

Guess I'll wait too!

 

[MidiSurf]

I'm pretty sure it will be out in few days or at least in a week for direct download. Keep informed and head towards Alan Wake formus.

yes. well... there is a diner in the game that is an exact recreation of the real world diner they used for the RR Diner in Twin Peaks (the Mar T cafe in North Bend, WA at the time, now called Twede's). can't find the screenshot now though.

also, the mountain behind the logo is blatantly Mount Si. the same mountain you see in the opening credits of twin peaks.

they blatantly visited the north bend/snoqualmie/fall river area of WA state for inspiration. it's no coincidence that that's the exact area twin peaks was filmed.

 

[Dever]

So a Finnish film critic has said in his Max Payne review that he's rather watch a Boll movie. Who's going to take one for the team? I was going to go watch it but I'm going away for the weekend.

[plagiarize]

How do you Blatantly Visit somewhere?

you walk around with T-shirts on saying 'WE ARE FINNISH TOURISTS!'

anyone who wants to watch twin peaks and hasn't already... you can watch it all currently online if you live in the US at CBS.com right here:

Depends. I've pretty much seen all the films that interested me. If I can't find anything else, then I'll watch it.

 

[Jme]

I've never been so excited for a trailer.
Imagine how excited we'll be when we're approaching this games RELEASE DATE.

 

[HugBasket]

It's being published by MS so neh.

 

[McValdemar]

Having in common a mountain view is a rip off?

Please...
:lol

It's nature. Is there a copyright on it?
Will God sue Remedy for ripping off a mountain view?? :lol

 

[jj984jj]

[Broadbandito]

[CrunchinJelly]

If this has QTE's I'm going to kill someone.

 

[Uncle]

At least some of the screenings are over. No info about trailer yet. Movie is apparently pretty shitty.
