Ships Ahoy - PC Alan Wake

[Feb 16, 2012, 9:23 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

The Alan Wake Website announces the PC edition if Alan Wake is now available on Steam, where the Collector's edition is available for the standard edition price, offering the soundtrack from Remedy's psychological thriller along with all its DLC, an offer that's good until a week from today (and is also available through Impulse Driven). Here's an overview of the game:

When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing. A Dark Presence stalks the small town of Bright Falls, pushing Wake to the brink of sanity in his fight to unravel the mystery and save his love.

Presented in the style of a TV series, Alan Wake features the trademark Remedy storytelling and pulse-pounding action sequences. As players dive deeper and deeper into the mystery, they’ll face overwhelming odds, plot twists, and cliffhangers. It’s only by mastering the Fight With Light combat mechanic that they can stay one step ahead of the darkness that spreads across Bright Falls.

With the body of an action game and the mind of a psychological thriller, Alan Wake’s intense atmosphere, deep and multilayered story, and exceptionally tense combat sequences provide players with an entertaining and original gaming experience.

In an ideal world, yes, you wouldn't need to suck up to your publisher.

You are responding to a point I was never trying to make. It is widely known to every gamer who had originally been following Alan Wake the PC game that Remedy had been acquired by MS and forced to develop AW as an Xbox exclusive. It's not a secret, so saying it is not some breach of trust or slap in the face. Better to not say anything then to pretend your customers are all dumbasses who can't immediately see right through your lame pandereing now that the game underperformed on the Xbox and there are expenses to recoup.

I don't like being pithy
That word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Woops. Yeah, I need to pay attention to what the autocomplete on my Kindle Fire is changing my words to. I intended to write "petty", but apparently mangled it badly enough so that it looked like "pithy" was closer to what I actually typed.
