Talk:Alan Wake

Giant Publisher's Ad

Read the article with an objective eye and you'll know what I mean. I am excited for this game, but there's no reason to make claims about photo-realistic graphics and such.

Release date

The Spoiler Warning

Is it really needed? I know under the Story heading it has a paragraph starting with "In the beginning of the game...", but that whole section basically serves as a back story as to why Alan has come to Bright Falls, and what has started to happen now that he is there. IMO there aren't any major plot details being "spoiled" here, those usually come further into the game. It's the sort of info people want to know, as opposed to spoilers such as major characters dying etc. ChrisJP 12:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Silent Hill 2

Hmm. The story as described here really reminds me (to put it nicely) of Silent Hill 2... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.43.182.51 (talk) 01:14, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

When its done

ok, ummmmmmm, so why does the "When its done" text under release date redirect to the dnf page? what the bloody hell is the purpose of that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.241.10.143 (talk) 01:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

It's a reference to both Valve and Duke Nukem Forever. Both companies say it will come out when it's done, and DNF has been in development for forever and a day, if you haven't noticed >_> 72.192.55.156 (talk) 19:09, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

When is this game coming out??? zarth4 (talk) 08:35, May 21, 2008 (UTC)

Ridiculous

In May, it will have been 4 years since the original announcement of this game with a slated release of 2006. Now it's been "confirmed" again for September. That's almost 4 and a half years since it was announced. Now, I've been waiting on this game since early 2006, so 3 years since I heard about it, and if it actually does come out in September, that will be 3 and a half years of my life I've waited on this game. I don't think that's appropriate. I understand that they're trying to make it the best game they can, but I would have loved to play it 3 years ago. It would have beat out Gears of War in terms of graphics. I remember the first teaser I saw for it and it blew Gears of War out of the water, which came out in late 2006, a good half year later. They could have easily made a sequel by now to get all the features and story in that they wanted if they would have released the first game on time in 2006.

Ridiculous! TheStuff07 (talk) 16:38, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

You want to talk about ridiculous? Duke Nukem Forever spent 13 years in developement only to fall flat on its face! One can only hope that Take2 will do something of significant value with the license. 95.109.102.252 (talk) 22:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)

Better still, Team Fortress 2 spent like 9 years in development and changed art and gameplay styles numerous times before it was released to universal acclaim --71.213.208.1 (talk) 06:28, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Story

The plot synopsis used in this article differs from what can be found at official website. For example, Alice is not Alan´s fiancée (they´re married), she disappears AFTER arrival to Bright Falls, etc... Could anyone fix it? (I´m afraid I´m not able to do it myself). 79.127.160.90 (talk) 20:17, 20 January 2009 (UTC) I will fix it.

I fixed the plot so now it is the same synopis as the website. I am a unidentified user who likes to help update articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.160.157.119 (talk) 02:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Announce Date

The announce date seems to be important information to include. It was sometime during E3 2005. Kinkywhynot (talk) 00:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Alan Wake native resolution

The game has been released - and it's time for a few revisions

The Lynchian inspiration is very obvious; numerous tributes to not only Twin Peaks, but to Blue Velvet as well (note the soundtrack choices). I've only played through chapter one, but I'm already anticipating the drive down a Dark Road.

Incidentally, why is this article locked? It seems like such a trivial piece to lock; not like it's 'Islam' or 'Meat'.. just a video game. 24.131.135.40 (talk) 03:17, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it hasn't been released. Maybe your preorder arrived early? And it's locked because a bunch of people got into a dumb edit war about the native resolution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.39.250.248 (talk) 12:50, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
