Support NeoGAF

[bigtroyjon]

I hate that Microsoft releases PC ports way after their console versions and then wonders why the sales are poor. How about you release a fucking PC version WITH the console version.

A lot of people would have bought the PC version over 360 but it's too late now.

pretty sure your last sentence explains the first two.

 

[Phonomezer]

PS3?

Hardly.

 

[derFeef]

I wish it still retained that sandbox structure, though.

This IDF 2006 demonstration was so good.

I would not mind some more exploratory daytime moments, but I could not imagine AW to be an open world game. I am glad they sticked with their episodic story approach after the open world prototype did not work well for them.

 

[Cels]

Alan Wake in HD? Finally.

Spoiler

There's a Halo "HD" joke waiting in here somewhere

 

[zoukka]

too late, idiots

sorry for being negative nancy, I'm still bitter about this.

Ignore this bitter man.

 

[Paertan]

*removes Alan Wake 360 from christmas wishlist*

Awesome =D

 

[Mush]

This will be an interesting thread.

 

[kharak]

Believe !!

 

[jim-jam bongs]

This will be an interesting thread.

For people who want to play the game on PC it already is interesting, though something tells me that's not the flavour of intrigue you're gleefully anticipating.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Would be gigaton if someone else but MS published this :O

Great if true anyway.

 

[Kevin]

I already own the 360 version and this would STILL be a day one purchase for me.

 

[def sim]

Maybe Alan Wake 2 might go fully multiplatform, but I doubt this will. If anything, it'll be the same situation as Mass Effect 2. Unless, of course, MS decides to hold on to this exclusive.


That's would be surprising.

Yeah, it's still a damn good game. They made the right choice to go with an episodic format.

 

[NBtoaster]

Curious how MS would price this, a year and a half old port. $40? $30?

 

[TheBear]

Does being in the registry 100% confirm it? I don't quite undertstand how it works. Hopefully it's the complete version with the latest episodes.

 

[Goon Boon]

I just youtubed the ending since they took the "comfy couch fuck pc gaming" approach. I don't want to support a company like that.

 

[Mr_Zombie]

*fap* *fap* *fap*

Yeah!

It's a seriously flawed game, but I love it anyway. Great atmosphere.
And if they fix graphics (resolution, texture resolution, tearing, shadows) then OMG!

Curious how MS would price this, a year and a half old port. $40? $30?

50$ or even 60$. Haven't you learned already that video game companies rarely take into account that something is an old port?

 

[jim-jam bongs]

I believe that things have been removed in the past but generally once something is in there it's more a matter of time.

 

[StoppedInTracks]

Alan Wake or the new Alan Wake game?

 

[IrishNinja]

You can probably expect GFWL though..

ugh.
might double dip, XBL version was like $7 anyway (thanks again Wario! i think it was Wario.)

 

[StoppedInTracks]

What are the minimum system requirements, Quad-core?

They demoed AW on an intel OCTO-core a few years back :lol

 

[Fortinbras]

Cool if true. The game deserves more sales.

 

[Everdred]

50$ or even 60$. Haven't you learned already that video game companies rarely take into account that something is an old port?

Well if its anything like Fable III PC, I got it for $15 just a few months after release.

 

[Mush]

There's just so much that can happen!

Will PC gamers welcome this news with open arms, or continue to give Remedy the cold shoulder for their prior failings?

Will the lukewarm reception to the original release on X360 cause master race gamers to avoid this late release?

And the most pressing question of all, with it come with a free collectible comfortable sofa chair?

End of Episode.

 

[leng jai]

Nice if true. After playing the 360 version with its sub-HD resolution and tearing it was clear that it was begging for a PC version.

 

[Respawn]

Where it should have been. Now give me all the power you spoke of before moving to console.

 

[Trevelyon]

Fuck yes!!! Been holding out hope for a while, thought it was completely squashed by Microsoft at point. Maybe there was some contractual period that Remedy signed off on that it had to remain only on 360 for a set amount of time (we've seen a few instances of that)

Great news, I'm thrilled.

 

[DieH@rd]

Read Dead Redemption needs a same treatment.

 

[wilflare]

something is wrong with me
just can't get into games these days :/

 

[vazel]

Last time I brought my 360 out of the closet was for this game and loved it. I'll be there day one on PC. I just hope it's the first game with all dlc and not the new game.

 

[Frankfurt]

So the master race that cared about the game, then started bashing it when it became 360-only, now suddenly cares again? Despite it having "shitty gameplay" and being a "mediocre" game? Despite having the same PC gamers come into every. single. AW thread to bash it? In every single page?

Typical.

They made the right choice to go with an episodic format.

Yep.

Open-World would be a completelly different game, definetly wouldn't feel the same in tone.

 

[angular graphics]

Alan Wake: HD Edition is coming? Super excited DAY 1!

 

[Drkirby]

Age of Empires 3 also was added to the Registry.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Harriet the Spy would be ashamed that this was posted beside a picture of her.

Oh my. I do not hope this is just a hiccup/mistake.

Isn't the 360 user base that supposedly "looooved" the game, the same one that made this flop and almost killed the franchise Remedy was trying to build, preferring to buy the annual Call of Duty title and its DLCs instead of this? Yup.

 

[French]

HD remake.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

That's cause you're playing through sonic generation at the moment

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Hey now, let's not say stuff we can't take back here.

It does have a "shitty gameplay" (but that's rather due to a repetitiveness, the shooting mechanics are really solid), but I treat the game like Mass Effect - a so-so game with great atmosphere and great potential.

 

[NBtoaster]

Age of Empires 3 also was added to the Registry.

I got it when it was 10 cents on GFWL last year, but this could do a lot for the community.

I hope for Age of Mythology as well, but MS doesn't even have that on GFWL.

50$ or even 60$. Haven't you learned already that video game companies rarely take into account that something is an old port?

Fable 3 was reasonable at $50 so I'm hopeful. It really shouldn't be higher than 40.

 

[Jtrizzy]

What's the latest on the whole XBLA for PC thing? I asked if the new game would be PC since it's an XBLA game.

Either way, this is great news. I liked Twin Peaks, but don't have a 360. Also, 540p is pretty rough...is that the lowest res for a cupposed HD console game?

 

[nelsonroyale]

Hope it is coming...I will very likely pick it up

 

[CharmingCharlie]

My response is "meh" just like Rockstars LA Noire, it is too little too late. They will no doubt expect PC gamers to pay through the nose for a dog eared old game which can be bought on the xbox 360 for the price of a hamburger.

 

[wilflare]

Read Dead Eedemption needs a same treatment.

agreed

 

[MRORANGE]

now all we have to do is wait for RDR and Rayman Origins

 

[K.Jack]

Lol if this releases at more than $40.

Isn't the 360 user base that supposedly "looooved" the game, the same one that made this flop and almost killed the franchise Remedy was trying to build, preferring to buy the annual Call of Duty title and its DLCs instead of this? Yup.

It was pirated over 1 million times. There was interest

 

[teraMEL0S]

This is great news if true. Even though I do my gaming on the loser-tier Xbox, Microsoft should release all titles on PC and Xbox. Hopefully, their titles can just go simultaneous with releases come Nextbox/Window 8. The world will be a happier place.

Actually, they preferred to buy RDR - a big AAA game from R* released withing the same week as AW >_>
