How far has Remedy comed on Alan Wake

UltraSquirrel · 07-17-2008, 12:52 PM

I just wonder, how far have they come on the making of the game and are they making and progress. 'Cause we all wait for this game to be released so I wonder, what have they left to do on the game?

I'm swedish,'cause probably there are some faults in the text.

Morry · 07-17-2008, 01:41 PM

Development status is unknown, but they are actively working on the game. There is always a large amount of testing to be done before the game is considered "complete".

All currently known "important" information is in the FAQ.
http://www.brightfalls.net/alan-wake-faq/

Basically, any relevant question that isn't in the FAQ hasn't been answered in any known interviews or articles.

UltraSquirrel · 07-18-2008, 07:22 PM

I know that I can find answers in FAQ but it hasn't been updated since 30th of January

The Mad Arab · 07-19-2008, 05:15 AM

Which sucks either way.

We haven't received any new information since then. The FAQ uses all the latest up-to-date information as it is given to us.

Perhaps the FAQ should mention Microsoft's intention to present Alan Wake content at the Tokyo Games Show this October, even though the news has been out for almost 1 1/2 years.

That hasn't been commented on by Remedy and as such it's not 100% right. So it doesn't belong in the FAQ.

I covered the TGS competition back when it happened and the FAQ has been around since 2005 so everything official is in there.

Of course it's 100% right. Even if Alan Wake completely fails to show up in Tokyo there's no denying that Microsoft has expressed their intention to show it there. Perhaps FAQ readers would be interested to read about announcements by Alan Wake's publisher, whether Remedy has commented on them or not.

It's not from Remedy so it's not 100% as far as I'm concerned. Microsoft have said things in the past that hasn't turned out to be correct.

So that's why it's not going in the FAQ. Quite simple really.

Ok, I understand now.

Remedy didn't give the answer so it doesn't go in the FAQ. However, if someone over here in this forum asks about the publisher's intentions for the TGS then it's ok for you to say:

ADM · 07-19-2008, 01:59 PM

I said I'd say it's likely, it's not 100%. Stop trying to twist my words.

The only reason I said it was likely because so far everything else of that competition has come true (ie the guy who won has gone to Remedy and had his face digitised to be in the game).

It's still not confirmed by Remedy that they'll show it off at TGS and as such it's not going in the FAQ. End of Story.

Please look again, ADM! I quoted you directly. Why accuse me of twisting your words? And why the need to re-explain everything yet again? What part of "Ok, I understand now" and "I get it now. Hope you can see why I got a bit confused" did you fail to understand?

Believe it or not, I was only trying to help you and the FAQ. There's no need to respond as if it was an attack, mate.

But I would like to see what Remedy does have to say on the subject.

Aren't you in contact with them ADM?

Talryyn · 07-19-2008, 05:18 PM

They did say recently that the wait on the press blackout would soon be over. A 2009 Christmas release may not be to far of a stretch now, at least ones can hopes.

giuseppe81 · 07-19-2008, 06:03 PM

They're in a media blackout they won't confirm nor deny anything until they feel it's ready. Plus not to mention they're still on holiday anyway.

Nope that was Morry that said that and later on retracted it, we don't know anything you guys don't. I can assure you.

Your guess at AW release date THREAD

Vane · 07-19-2008, 09:00 PM

Cool, I didn't know.

It seems that the majority is quite optimistic, from what I read ^_^

Morry · 07-20-2008, 12:44 PM

I'm not eager to put in a FAQ question that relates to future appearances as we honestly have no definite answer to that question.
As ADM said, the only reason we say that Remedy will appear at TGS 08 is because it is part of the prize, that the winner receives tickets to TGS 08.

http://www.microsoft.com/uk/windows/...ing_terms.html
After reading over the terms and conditions again, there is no indication that Alan Wake will be shown at TGS 08.
The reference to TGS 08 relates to the winner receiving tickets. There is nothing in the competition that states the game will be appearing there.

Remember the GDC appearance allegedly quoted by Microsoft but later found to be fake?

ancient · 07-20-2008, 08:44 PM

The terms are just the terms - the legal stuff with a very specific focus. I'd rather read this from the official ad:

"<...> then jet off to Tokyo to the 2008 Tokyo Games Show to be on the scene and on the screen!"

"To be on the screen" is a 90% guarantee the game will be shown in Tokyo (or at least this was the original plan).

Vane · 07-20-2008, 09:13 PM

Am I the only one to not care if the game has no news, new screenshots/trailers/interviews and so on ?

I mean I guess every one in Remedy and MS is doing his/her job(s) as hard as he/she can, and the development as well as the marketing plan must follow their own path.

Even if the black out is not the best position, I prefer having this than too much (like the last Smash Bros Melee as I remember it, or what happen on my own game...). News will be released sooner or later but at the time they need to be released.

What's the point in speculating about E3, TGS, GDC or whatever if there is obviously no serious move from Remedy or MS ? Except from talking from time to time here, I mean ^_^.

"On the scene" - TGS 08
"On the screen" - final game release when everyone plays it on their screens.

That's another way of looking at it...

MarkusRMD · 07-21-2008, 03:42 PM

The Microsoft Vista promotion referring to TGS took place in 2007, and is old news - we've had the winner over for taking the pictures already.

Sorry for the confusion and possible disappointment, but this was not an annoucement that Wake would be shown at TGS 2008. Remedy's team is just getting back from a bit of holiday and we haven't had time to chat with Microsoft on upcoming shows/showings yet.

Dennis · 07-21-2008, 03:50 PM

Finally a comment from Remedy! Anyway something

Hope Remedy/Microsoft will show something at Games Convention next month.
Come on!!!

Ozorov · 07-21-2008, 04:26 PM

Does somebody know if Microsoft will have X08 this year? If so - When? I really hope they will show Alan Wake there, or sooner

.

Talryyn · 07-21-2008, 05:54 PM

Not sure on an X08, but they do owe Bungie something now don't they, lol. I think MS is big enough with MGS, Vista, Games for Windows, and the 3rd parties to hold a dedicated event in North America. And then even replicate that for EU, even if it is the same show with just the ability for folks in the EU to attend. I would love to see an event like this open to the public. E3 was just bad IMO...

llamaman13 · 07-21-2008, 10:47 PM

Yep, and others. It's good to see how the major sites hang on every word about the game. Interest is not waning; the net will 'splode when there is actual new stuff, and not just heresay about appearances at events.

SubZero · 07-22-2008, 04:30 AM

Hopefully the fact that Remedy had a holiday means that a major milestone had been hit, and a press-release is imminent!

Talryyn · 07-22-2008, 05:40 AM

The fact that Remedy has a Holiday blows the thought of some that said Remedy was no more, lol. Seriously, though, how could they think Remedy was closed. I forget which site it was now.

On another side note, we know they are at least working on something....

Michael A. H. · 07-22-2008, 12:21 PM

Ahhhh, i love remedy.
They dont have to blow wind up their own arses and show the game off every time they get the chance. They got a reputation the right way, by giving us great stories, memeroble characters and in my opinion a dam breath of fresh air to the gaming world. Thats why their my Fav Devs.
All these people who think they must not have proggressed much as there not showing anything are very very silly!
Remedy i'm sure will be nearing the homeward stretch to completion but as we know they are not ones to rush. And for that a applaud them.
Even if there is a way to go until they are done, then so be it. Its going to be all the better for it.
When a game has the remedy logo, thats a seal of approval in my book!

Keep it up Rem!

Raveness · 07-22-2008, 02:50 PM

Now all the major sites are posting followup's that Remedy and AW will not be at TGS, even though Markus states its an unknown, a lack of confirmation.

Evil Avatar did it best. They first announced that it might be there due to the fine print in the contest, and their retraction states only that it lacks confirmation due to what Markus said. The rest seem to like being final about it (either Yes it is! or No it isn't! and nothing in-between

)

THIS YEAR would be a good time to show it

better time would be at liepzig

Im sure the game is ready to show to the public at this point

If its not , you should just cancel alan wake

Last time i checked alan wake is one of the most expensive games in production currently at MGS

Every second they waste not informing the public about the game They loose a potential fan and costumer they could have attracted while building the game ( it doesnt even have to be a freaking trailer , you could have just one of the devs write up some info to get fans excited , gearbox made this same mistake with hells highway and nobody is going to buy it because they dont know what they are buying )

If you come out of the gate with lots of info about your game people get excited and tell freinds that dont go on the internet , and they get excited

Everyone knows alan wake is far away , but what makes it so infuriating is the fact that nobody knows what we are waiting for except for remedy

They need to get info OF SOME KIND out to the public on a regular basis
( regular basis meaning something for fans to nibble at around every month or so )

It leipzig or this game is officially vaporware
