Nice. It's coming sooner than expected.

 

[Snuggles]

Cool. Remedy did a kickass job with the PC port of AW so I'm happy to see this happen. Did the Xbros like this? I don't remember hearing a lot about it.

 

[ToyMachine228]

I just downloaded this on XBLA last week. I enjoyed it quite a bit. Remedy did a ton to spice up the combat in between adding new enemy types and new weapons. The soundtrack is damn good and the Mr. Scratch videos are pretty awesome too. Definitely worth the price of admission.

"Is Bandwidth Greedy true"

Great!

Also, I finished the game last week and it was great! Maybe someday I'll buy both Alan Wake titles on Steam again!

 

[inky]

Good news. This is the reason I skipped the XBLA release =)

 

[Wario64]

I finally finished it last week. It was aight. Not many environment imo. I had more fun with the Arcade Mode.

 

[jet1911]

I was thinking about buying it last week. Glad I waited.

 

[LiK]

fast

 

[Phenomic]

American Nightmare was stand alone correct? Alan Wake was seriously one of my favorite games that year, but I never picked up American Nightmare on XBLA for various reasons. Now that I have a nice gaming PC I would much rather pick it up on Steam.

 

[Card Boy]

Alan Wake PC must of done very well to warrant the port so quickly this time. It was number 1 on the Steam best sellers for almost a week wasn't it?

Correct.

“We are very happy with the sales and hitting #1 on Steam at launch was nothing short of amazing. We recouped our development and marketing expenses during the first 48 hours. And yes, we’re certainly very excited about PC.”

 

[Felix Lighter]

Nice. I'll definitely be checking this out.

 

[RealDeadOne]

Excellent! I bought the original for my Xbox just before it died, so I'm not ready to pay full price for the Steam version of that, but if this is $10-15 then I'll probably bite on it first.

How did this sell on 360? I tried the demo and it seemed awesome, but the OT here had a pretty short lifespan.

Port? You mean original PC version that got locked away?

About 50,000 in it's first week.

And more than 55,000 if you add March.

I wonder if they are going to do a retail PC release with both titles. That would be awesome.

The Story Mode is pretty "meh" (the live-action cutscenes are pretty and the phonebooth story is awesome, but outside of that there isn't much to it), but the mechanics are even better and the game is more polished overall. More weapons, more types of enemies (

Spoiler

grenadiers, dudes that multiply if you shine a light on them, a dude that turns into a flock of crows, super-giant bullet-sponge guy with chainsaw, etc

), etc.

I also thought the hub-world greatly, greatly hurt the narrative. It isn't even on the same league as the linear version.

 

[Kasumi1970]

I really enjoyed it on the 360.....it great that PC players get to enjoy it also.

 

[Xyber]

Woo, bring it on Remedy!

 

[Snuggles]

Port? You mean original PC version that got locked away?

Eh, it's on PC now and that's all that matters on the end. It was a great way for me to revisit the game after digging it on 360. Anyways, I'm intrigued by the mentions of a hub area...is there anything to it?

 

[Everdred]

I hope they run a special on the original game when this comes out. Will definitely pick up both if they do.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Now all we need is a sale on Alan Wake.

Seems I'm not the only one with that train of thought.

 

[Tokubetsu]

New I was smart waiting. I'll grab it and AW next sale. Loved it on 360.

 

[Iadien]

Seems I'm not the only one with that train of thought.

I'm waiting for a sale as well.

 

[BrokenEchelon]

I expect an Alan Wake: Dreamscapes/Nightmares/Complete Edition for PC now please.

 

[Neuromancer]

Oh great game, you PC guys will like it. Better than the original I dare say.

 

[Tigel]

Does it continue the story or is it a spin-off of sorts?

 

[Snuggles]

Does it continue the story or is it a spin-off of sorts?

From what I understand, it's separate from the storyline developed in the original game. It's a self-contained story, which sounds good to me.

I completely agree. Will buy and play a second time, though. Alan Wake on PC is gorgeous.
