The Live Action Alan Wake Prequel Has Arrived

Bright Falls is a prequel to Remedy's up-coming title, Alan Wake. These first two episodes give of a very Twin Peaks meets modern thriller vibe, which is great because that's exactly what Alan Wake is going for as well.
The first episode is about 5 minutes long, and if your at all interested in Alan Wake I'd highly suggest you check it out.

if you liked that episode, you can check out the second one here, at the offical New York Times website.

Alan Wake Gets Pitched To Us Gamers

Have you ever been at a board-meeting of a multi-billion dollar company and sat through numerous pitches of video game ideas. Wait, you haven't?.. Well now's your chance to see what that "might" be like.
Here's the newest piece of marketing for Remedy's latest game, Alan Wake.

Saying this was a pitch to a big publishing company might have been a bit much, but come on, that narrator sure knew how to spin it.
As you might know, I'm a big fan of 3rd-person horror games, and so Alan Wake is right up my alley. I can't wait to see more of this game, and how it's going to handle its episodic DLC when it launches later in May.

Alan Wake Doesn't have An Ending Yet

For the past five years, Remedy studios has been working on an interesting title called "Alan Wake". It's gone through many different changes, from a solid game, to being split up into chapters/episodes. With all that work put into it however, Alan Wake still doesn't have an ending.
 "We really feel there needs to be a satisfying conclusion," says writer Sam Lake. "But at the same time, it needs to end in kind of a cliffhanger and we need to open doors for a larger story beyond this one.
 "How Alan Wake as a whole will end? We have ideas and have mapped out the storyline quite far, but time will tell. I'm sure it will live a life of its own and things will change along the way. We certainly would like to do more, but ultimately if people want more, they will get more."

 I guess this is one of the many positive things about an episodic release on the studios part, they will be able to tune not only the gameplay, but also the story itself to what the players will want to see.

[X10] Alan Wake coming May 19, Limited Edition Announced

As if Microsoft's [X10] event hasn't released enough info today, Remedy came out to say that their latest game is scheduled for a May 19 release. Along with a release date, the official Limited Edition was shown off today, along with all of its extra goodies.

There will be 3 discs, the game, a soundtrack, a bonus disk, and some art. All of this will be packaged in box which looks like a hard cover novel.

I personally think that this whole set looks a little too plain, too much blue, but regardless I am still very interested to see how this survival horror game is going to turn out.
