Alan Wake coming to PC in February

Remedy has announced that Alan Wake will be coming to PC some time next month. It will be Steamworks, not Games for Windows Live (a good thing, IMO). The company has put up a short FAQ here. Expect it to be updated as more details emerge.

 

A day late and a dollar short...

 

I'm buying this on day one. can't wait.

 

Maybe they did not make enough money with the main course so have decided to throw the uninvited guests of the party the left overs. I am not sure if I will bother with this one, after all Alan should have woken up years ago.

 

I don't think they did make enough money from it, it was listed as pirated more than purchased for the longest time. Made sense that the button mashing crowd didn't come though for Remedy, no cardboard cutout space marines with a weak plot and paper thin story? No mindless cover based shooter with mutated circus clowns as the main cast and no story at all? Xbots would never buy that.

Remedy had no control over how the game was released, it was the publisher Micro$oft that pulled the plug on that of course. Now Remedy have taken back their work and are self publishing for Steam. I think this is great, I played the game on Failbox and despite the eye watering jaggies, painful screen tearing, horrible lip sync, up-scaling and ugly, mud stain shadows it was still a great game. Finally coming to PC I hope they can fix those graphics issues. I will get this one day one, can't wait to play it again. (2 times on Failbox).

 

I also played it on Xbox 360 and the game was really good compared to generic FPS clones that usually hits the system.
If the Steam rerelease includes all the DLC + proper PC graphics then by all means il rebuy and replay if my budget allows it.

 

It comes with The Signal and The Writer DLCs.

I hope it's $40 or lower.

 

How many DLCs were there? Was anyone of them good? In any case I am happy they're finally releasing it to PC ... like it was originally planned.
