Alan Wake on PC: Launch, tech features detailed
Alan Wake will hit Steam on February 16 and will follow a bit later at retail in something they call a "game box." Pricing is confirmed at $29.99 on Steam. What you'll get with this PC version is high-res graphics and support for both multiscreen and 3D support. Now's your chance to see Alan Wake at every setting maxed. There's graphic support for lots of resolutions and ratios, and a multithreaded engine lets you make use of your fancy-ass quad core CPUs. Both Nvidia's stereoscopic 3D and AMD Eyefinity 3D are supported. Finally, there's new options to hide the hud and/or adjust the field of view. Of course, on the control side you can use either a Microsoft gamepad, or new keyboard and mouse controls. I'm really looking forward to giving Alan Wake a second go on my beast of a gaming rig. I'll be sure to let you know how that goes later this month.

Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Looks and sounds great. Looking forward to playing this once again late at night with the sound turned up. Was always jealous of the xbox for having this game. i really want it but money is tight and the vita is coming :/ And the Torrents go wild! I have to get this game at some point, must be pretty cheap for Xbox by now, though all the DLC looks more interesting than the main game. I never buy full-priced games at launch anymore, but I'll make an exception for this. Been waiting to play Alan Wake for a long time and I want to show my monetary support for fine-tuned PC versions of games like this. Good price. I'll be double dipping. This is basically $14 for the main game, then the $8 for each episode (their price on Xbox 360). Oh well. Over my stated $19.99 so I'll get it on sale then. No rush. I have a nice little backlog anyway. And it's still the 360 version so I don't expect to be able to "max out" too much. $30 is good, man. Definitely worth the double dip. Can't wait to blind dudes with my flashlight in 1600X900. Wow. Basic options that should be in everygame.
