Remedy has branded Alan Wake its "masterpiece" - and revealed that the success of its Max Payne games gave it leeway to take its time over the upcoming psychological thriller.
"Yeah, it's been a long process," admitted Remedy's head of franchise development, Oskari Hakkinen in an interview with Edge. "But [it's been] a labour of love.
"We were in a fortunate situation after the Max Payne games - due to their success, we could take our time with this project. We didn't foresee that this project would take so long, but what we did know is that we could only be as good as our latest game.
"So we always knew we wouldn't put it out until it was ready. This has been our baby, our masterpiece."
Time will tell. The last few trailers have knocked me back a bit. The guy runs from a man with an axe. Yet he can shrug off being hit by a huge flying water tank and a truck in tornado forced winds..... I'll see what friends say after release before making my mind up. I'm not being sucked into the hype again after the MW2 fiasco.
Of course its going to be their masterpiece, its going to have the Remedy Seal of Approval on the front cover!
CVG, the Game was never dated so cant have been delayed, a mistake that many many people make.
And gogo65uk, just to let you know, Remedy have stated that all trailers and any gameplay we have seen has been played in God mode, meaning Alan cant die or be injured. Have faith in Remedy, I think (hope/know) this is going to be a classic.
The closer we get to release the longer the days seem to be draggin in, still, not long to go now. Not long at all.

Yeah, it has been a LONG development lifecycle, but good things come to those that wait apparently! (and yes I'm looking at you as well GT5!!)
Remedy should make you a honorary member of staff for your unflinching faith in AW, or should that be get the police in for stalking?

You may not know this but, in America, April 20 is an unofficial pot-smoking "holiday". On the other hand, you may have noticed that we write the month before the day when we write our calendar dates.
Note the original poster's screen name and you'll realize immediately why he posted such a ridiculous question.
Your masterpiece as opposed to what? Max Payne? the only other good game you guys have done..........don't get me wrong, it made me not hate the fact that society had gone bullet time crazy, but still.........I'm waiting to see something for Alan Wake that impresses me even a bit............

I'm just saying. . .
Didn't catch the sarcasm there, did ya?? Its only been announced 50 times.
I'm pretty sure April 20th is also Hitler's birthday, and the date of the Columbine school shooting in Colorado. But yes its mostly known for the weed.

Yeah but if it's related to the USA, nobody gives a s**t this side of the Atlantic...looks like Zionist-lover Obama has pushed that "wonderful" Healthcare plan through as well, just as well the weed IS available!
lol i think its hilarious that focker will make fun of a release date for a 360 game when gran turismo 5 has had like ten realease dates and a million dates, oh im sorry i meant gran turismo 5 the screeshot simulator

Just "unlucky" I guess...where's the next war?
Who knows.. If it were up to me there wouldn't be one. We would all already be driving around in fully electric vehicles by now. The money being wasted on the current war is unbelievable.
It'll be far better than alone in the dark(which was pretty bad).
I can't believe the max payne team and all the time they've had on it can produce a crap game. I'm expecting this to be the game heavy rain should have been(if i can call heavy rain a game).
Should be fun as long as they keep the variety up on the later levels.
I contributed to the success that allowed them the stupid amount taken to develop this by buying the Max Payne games on PC. But they sold out to M$ and their xbox junk, after hyping up the game on PC as a showcase of multicore technology. So f*** them.
In 2006 it was impressive but the game looks crap now anyway.
I think this looks a really interesting game and I didnt realise that it was being made by the creators of the Max payne games.
If its as dark and film noir as Max Payne II, it could be great.
Shame that its not multiplatform, as its really the only exclusive game that ive seen on the 360 that looks really makes me think that it would be interesting to play.
Just wish I didn't have to buy it for my 360. Controlling anything that moves and shoots with a controller is like controlling a tank with a twitchy turret compared with the instictive and truly analogue feel of a mouse and keyboard combo.
My bet though is that 6-8 months after the 360 "exclusive", it will be ported to PC after all.
I hope so, I cant stand shooters or 1st and 3rd person games with a bloody controller. "left a bit, down a bit..ooops up a bit..fire "Arrgghhhhh.
After years of PC gaming I found the mouse and keyboard too mind numbing hence why I turned to console gaming. Them "twitchy unresponsive" controllers felt much more rewarding and add alot to the gaming experience. plus the quality of games is better and goes way beyond just "nice graphics" I'm still waiting on GW2 but for me at the moment pc gaming has nothing to offer. Dragon age Origins was another game I tried on pc before getting it on a console. Don't mean and disrespect after all its just my own preference.
