It seems that Remedy's upcoming Alan Wake game has a uh... fascinating name.

USK rates Alan Wake’s American Nightmare

German ratings body the USK has rated something called Alan Wake’s American Nightmare. Chances are that this is the name of the new standalone XBLA title that Remedy is set to unveil on Saturday at the VGAs set in the Wake universe. It was previously rumoured it would be subtitled Night Springs. Pat’s at Remedy this morning, so we’ll get him to chase it while he’s there.

Well, that sounds a lot more bankable than "Night Springs" does.

It seems to set off some sort of alarm in the back of my head indicating "shitty," but I'm not sure why exactly. I've heard worse.

American Nightmare?

I love that title.

Saturday can't come soon enough. Also AW:AN -> Awan Lake/ Alan Wake.

Must be American McGee.

I'm sorry, that name doesn't do anything for me.

Spoiler

Will still buy regardless

Sounds campy.

Cheezy title but I'm ok with it. I'm ready for more Alan Wake... hopefully with a bit more variety.

 

[Arlecchino]

So it's a JRPG?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

Could it be episode 2 if they're going to start releasing Alan Wake thugs episodically.

 

[B_Rik_Schitthaus]

Alan Wake seemed like a bit of a hack, so having a cheesy name fits perfectly.

 

[Phonomezer]

It's being developed by Bioware?! D:

Love the title!

Oh wait... that would be Canadian Nightmare. Nvm.

 

[Shiggy]

If the USK rated a title, it must be nearly complete (they need to play it from start to end).

More like Give Up The Ghost, amirite?

What's next, they'll get Jake Bannon to do the cover art?

And then they'll break up (err...stop development) far too soon.
