We can confirm that this new “Alan Wake” game will be a fully standalone experience and released on Xbox LIVE.

**UPDATE ENDS**

The annual Video Game Awards show is just around the corner and teases for this year's big announcements have begun.

Three promised reveals include a look at a brand new franchise from BioWare, the developer behind Mass Effect and Dragon Age. We'll also get a look at the next Alan Wake title and a full reveal of Metal Gear Solid: Rising. We'll have the first teaser images of these titles this Monday at Gameinformer.com (also featured in the December issue), so check back then.

There's some confusion, it might be AW2 as mentioned above or Alan Wake: Night Springs which was coming to XBLA but has since fallen off the radar.

Who cares what is it - new Alan Wake -

 

[randomwab]

Excited. Hype. Alan Wake. Taste the happy, Remedy!

 

[TheOddOne]

What an obscure game? Does it even deserve a thread? I'll be in the Bioware new franchise thread! Good luck with this all.

Spoiler

Hehheheheh... can't wait!

 

[Chinner]

you know, i'd be pretty happy as long as they make the faces look good this time. alan wake owned.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

...but its a Kinect game.

And it wasnt the faces that bugged me really, it was the fact that Wake would run out of breath faster than a fat 8th grader.

 

[alphaNoid]

YES! I fucking loved Alan Wake

 

[pa22word]

As long as Remedy is still on board I'm up for a new one.

 

[JdFoX187]

Spoiler

It wasn't a lake...it was an ocean

Better fucking tell me where that shit leads Remedy. Such a blue balls ending. /Haven't started The Signal or The Writer yet.

Really hoping for Alan Wake 2, possibly my favorite game of last year.

 

[Hesemonni]

MGS : RISING?!?! And you talk about Alan Wake...

 

[Stabby McSter]

I wonder if it'll stay 360 exclusive.

 

[Grisby]

Yeah!


Time to flare a bitch.

 

[KingJ2002]

...but its a Kinect game.

...that would actually be kind of sick

 

[LiK]

you know, i'd be pretty happy as long as they make the faces look good this time. alan wake owned.

Fix lip sync too

 

[Kinyou]

 

[MirageDwarf]

Hope it is not Kinect only title. Don't have Kinect.

One of the best moment in AW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOMen_Pfj2c (Rock Concert)

 

[Solo]

Yes!

 

[Bay Maximus]

Reminds me that I still need to play the first one. Hate to be a party pooper, but they're probably talking about the XBLA game. But as you say, if you're a fan, still good news.

 

[Grisby]

Poets of the Fall ost or bust!

 

[Mindlog]

So far this is my favorite pre-announcement announced preview trailer. I picked up a cheap GoD copy and really enjoyed the game.

 

[CrazyDude]

Hope it's not as repetitive as the first one.

 

[JumpingTheGun]

Poets of the Fall ost or bust!

Youre a good person.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Will probably be a sidescroller on XBLA

 

[ZombieFred]

Yes! Alan Wake, welcome back you crazy writer you!

 

[DieH@rd]

HELL YEAH, sequel to the best game of 2010!

Hopefully it will not be some crappy kinect minigame collection.

 

[Seth C]

I really should get around to opening and playing the first one.

 

[TheKaeptain]

Hope the gameplay doesn't suck like the first game.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Any word on who's publishing?

 

[Paracelsus]

Full-fledged, non kinect-enabled or kinect-exclusive, open world sequel, thank you.

 

[barkers crest]

Alan Wake F-Yeah!!!! Loved the environment and scenery.

Hopefully this new game gives answers to questions about answers of questions of answers for questions about the story line.

 

[chifanpoe]

PC release announcement for the 1st game?

 

[JaseC]

It'd be nice if the game in question were Alan Wake 2, but I'm expecting it to be the XBLA title.

 

[Yami]

Am I the only one that wants an Alan Wake novel as well? :B

 

[JumpingTheGun]

I couldve sworn I read in an article some time ago that the game would possibly be played from Alice's perspective...

Alice Wake...?

 

[AEREC]

Hope the gameplay doesn't suck like the first game.

Seriously?...the gameplay was great in Alan Wake, it had solid shooting and dodging mechanics.

 

[fu3lfr3nzy]

Hope it's not as repetitive as the first one.

Hope the gameplay doesn't suck like the first game.

.

I was disappointed after all the hype from GAF. Still looking forward to the sequel though

 

[sixteen-bit]

I still need to get around to playing the first one.

 

[TheOddOne]

It'd be nice if the game in question were Alan Wake 2, but I'm expecting it to be the XBLA title.

Again, XBLA title being shown at VGA's seems pointless. Doubt it.

 

[planar1280]

hopefully this time the game is closer to the PC reveal than the console reveal. It was a good game but could have been a great one

 

[Grecco]

Loved the first one looking forward to it.

 

[Menelaus]

Worst game of the generation.

Alan Wake 2: Thermos Full of Energizer

 

[DieH@rd]

Poets of the Fall must return.

[dankir]

Was the first one good? Was interested in playing but never got around to it.

 

[Biggest-Geek-Ever]

I absolutely loved the DLC episodes of Alan Wake, so if they make #2 in that vein, I'm on board!

 

[MirageDwarf]

Hope it's not as repetitive as the first one.

Yeah that was big negative for AW. Hopefully true sequel has big jump in quality like AC to AC2.

Was the first one good? Was interested in playing but never got around to it.

It is really a hit or miss like any cult movies. Good thing is you can find it much cheaper now so you won't feel bad about spending money if you hate it.

 

[squidyj]

That's very cool, I just was handed an xbox so Alan Wake is on my list of games to pick up after the wallet-sucking holiday season is over.

 

[Broder Salsa]

I would rather they try a new IP with the same engine. I liked Alan Wake overall but there was so many bad things in it too, like the cheesy monsters, incredible dumb story, very repetive gameplay (more exploring instead please) and some a bit annoying characters. The forest and just generally twin peakish setting was amazing though.

 

[zethren]

Nice. Loved Alan Wake.

Here's hoping to a full fledged sequel rather than an XBLA game (which I would still play anyway...).

 

[Paracelsus]

Again, XBLA title being shown at VGA's seems pointless. Doubt it.

How is that pointless? It's massive advertising, if it really is a kinect game it is its only hope to be slightly less dead on arrival.

 

[plagiarize]

i'm just glad that the franchise isn't dead yet. the original was great, and the two add on chapters were even better.

 

[mik83kuu]

Gameplay and story by Remedy, art assets by someone else. Pretty, please?
