i think he's explaining how the theme of 'weird small town' is something that appeals to the Finnish or that the Finnish can relate to, and that is part of why they like shows such as Twin Peaks.Valkyr Junkie said:

What they mean by that is that the Twin Peaks/Pacific northwest sertting reminds them of Finnish areas..not that Alan Wake is based on Finnish areas.
Theyve been vocal about it being set in the pacific northwest and heavily influenced by Twin Peaks specifically.

they were an influence on the Max Payne games for crying out loud, and those aren't even remotely similiar in genre. Remedy still littered them with references all over the place though. heck, there was even a Buffy the Vampire Slayer reference in there too.BMX Bandit said:
they just love their weird small town shows.

well I don't think it's meant to be a direct Lynch copy... Twin Peaks is just one of the influences. A major one yes, but that doesn't mean they're going to copy every single thing Lynch does.Speevy said:
other references are, I'm sure, the twilight zone, silent hill, and Darkness Falls (crap movie, but kinda stylish and very similar in the whole small town/argh darkness/yay lighthouse stuff).
probably lots of others.
they've set it in the Pacific Northwest cause they love Twin Peaks, but that doesn't creatively mean that they can't tell their own story with their own style. I want them to actually.

aren't people usually complaining about the lack of PC version?pr0cs said:

That's encouraging/impressive. In my eyes it's one of the best looking console games I've seen, so if it's made by 30 people (admittedly over four years) that's quite a feat.
Does anyone know if they've suggested monsters will play into the game? Or is it just these strange shadow humans throughout?

I think its a case of being too late to the party in a technical sense to be impressive anymore.
The flythrough + day/night techdemo 2yrs back was pretty mindblowing for its time - they spent too much time on the tech (ironic considering no pc version now) and not enough on the 'game' and its not aging well visually.

Evidently my joke fell flat on it's face.
I was kidding folks, the whole "there's too many games coming out in March bit".

Ok? I'm just stating what the developers have said multiple times now.plagiarize said:
I'm pretty sure everyone wants them to tell their own story and it is pretty obvious by the trailers they've released that they are. I'm not sure why anyone would want them to do anything else to be honest.plagiarize said:

Speevy seemed to be complaining about the game not being 'shot' like a David Lynch movie. on rereading his post he may not have been complaining at all actually.BMX Bandit said:

FYI on the release date -- we (1UP) won't have any new information about that on Friday. Apologies for any confusion.

Reads to me like he doesn't see anything related to Lynch about the game is all.plagiarize said:

I haven't seen it in person since TGS, so this isn't based on anything new, but I'm a total sucker for the game -- love the atmosphere.

If it's really that good, I'll buy it on PC. Better IQ you know...
