Microsoft: Alan Wake On PC Is Canceled
It is a sad day for us PC gamers indeed. Microsoft has confirmed that Alan Wake on the PC has been canceled, saying that some games are more suited than others.
Speaking to Strategy Informer, Microsoft said:
“Some games are more suited for the intimacy of the PC, and others are best played from the couch in front of a larger TV screen. We ultimately realised that the most compelling way to experience “Alan Wake” was on the Xbox 360 platform, so we focused on making it an Xbox 360 exclusive. Both Microsoft and Remedy have long histories in PC game development. This decision was about matching this specific game to the right platform.”
Earlier we reported that Alan Wake will release on the Xbox 360 on May 18 2010 (US) and May 21 2010 (EU).

yeah,i know that,bro & i was eagerly waiting for it(cus,i just love remedy for the Max payne series & i’m also waiting for “Max payne 3” that is scheduled to release this year)to release,since it was first announced in E3 2005.
But,i was hoping for it to release on the pc too.But too bad that MS just canceled it & made it a Triple A title for the Xbox 360 !

That is so typical of Microsoft. Another PC title that could have been totally awesome made XBOX exclusive. Does Microsoft enjoy pissing PC gamers off?? First Gears of War 2 and Halo and now this!@!$@#.
P.S i saw some screenshots and previews of Max Payne 3 and i’m not gonna get my hopes too high.

@pollob
Shocked 😯 & Surprised 😮 What are you talking about,bro?
God of war 2 was never going to release on pc & neither it has been canceled from releasing on pc…
In fact,All of the God Of War titles were only made for the Playstation brand exclusively…
For example – First,God of war 1 & 2 was released on Playstation 2…
And then God Of War – Chains Of Olympus was released on Playstation Portable…
And Now recenly,God of war 3 has been released for Playstation 3…
God Of War Titles were never meant to be released on pc…
And None of them got released on pc till now…
I think you’re mistaking it with something else…

“pollob” meant Gears of War 2 not God of War 2.

@Rabbi
“pollob” meant Gears of War 2 not God of War 2.

But I was really shocked & surprised when I first saw it !

“That is so typical of Microsoft. Another PC title that could have been totally awesome made XBOX exclusive. Does Microsoft enjoy pissing PC gamers off??”
Bro,You really can’t accuse or blame Microsoft for that.
Cus,Almost every game developers out there do such things.
Although,I’m feeling very bad 🙁 for all the pc gamers out there who were eagerly waiting for this title to release on Pc.
I mean,They just destroyed all the hopes for the pc gamers by simply canceling it on the pc platform…
If you really don’t want to make Alan Wake for the pc,then you should have announced it earlier !
Why destroy someone’s hope by announcing it earlier for the pc & then later by just saying that the title won’t made it to the pc at all !
And that fact shown by Microsoft is totally absurd & pointless ! 👿
I really can’t believe that they just canceled a wonderful title that could have been great on the pc platform & then setting a lame excuse like that the game won’t suit in pc platform ! 👿

“that fact shown by Microsoft is totally absurd & pointless !”
Oops ! Looks like I did a small mistake out there, I was trying to say, “that “point” shown by Microsoft is totally absurd & pointless !”
I don’t know where the hell did the word “fact” come from…
Maybe I was trying to say something else & got mixed up with this one !

finished the game 2day…so so so so awesome…the songs are really great, already downloaded them..its like a whole new book reading/xfile like show/horror movie. A very much new but awesome game. It leaves mark in ur heart..im still thinking of the game..its so full of emotion just like what happens after watching a good movie..

@Ashraf
It’s good to know that you’ve already finished the game. I’m
also playing it right now.
And yeah, Alan wake does features some good licensed music, including these two songs called “Children of the Elder God” & “The Poet and the Muse”. But the interesting thing is, The artist’s name of these two songs, Is better known as “Old Gods of Asgard”(a.k.a the Anderson Brothers) in the game. But actually both of these songs are originally sung by the finnish rock band “Poets of the fall”. The game also does feature the song “War” by the same artist from their recently released album “Twilight Theater”.
Currently I’m at the 4th Episode of the game. And so far, The game looks great to me ! With it’s new kind of gameplay mechanism & movie-like cutscenes, The game also looks a lot more realistic. And truly, It’s really fun to play the game ! I mean, Who could have ever thought or imagined that fighting with the help of light against darkness would be so much fun? Alan Wake is really a masterpiece ! It sure offers some great experience to the gamer who plays it !
But However, I still don’t know what happened to Alan’s Wife “Alice”, But I’m sure about to find it out as soon as I finish the story !

@Rabbi
Sorry for replying lately, bro. 🙂
Yeah, I also hope that one day Alan wake will get released on pc. I’m still feeling bad for all the pc gamers who were expecting it to release on pc. 🙁
I mean, it would have been a great game if it was released on pc. But Microsoft just totally spoiled it by making this title an exclusive for 360 ! 👿
Now, I’m at the last chapter of the game & so far, I’ve been enjoying it a lot !
Btw, There is a good news(Read: Bad news, If you don’t like my reviews!) for you guys, Two of my reviews are heading their to the Gamers world Bd & they’ll be published when GWB will relaunch in this month’s end !
