Remedy is sure Alan Wake will hit in Spring 2010 photo

Remedy Entertainment believes the latest release date set for Alan Wake will stick. Speaking with BrightFalls, Remedy development director Markus Maki confirmed that the oft-delayed game is on schedule to actually hit in Spring 2010:  “I don’t think any developer plans on working on a single game for this long,” Maki told the Web site, “but for the last 1-1.5 years we’ve hit our own milestone targets very well and thus were confident on announcing the Spring 2010 release.”

In a later question, Maki said Remedy was “undecided” about a demo for the game, which is fine by me. Demos take time. I want to play Alan Wake this century. I’ve had a copy of the title reserved since 2005, so I’ll be excited when GameStop calls and tells me it’s in the store.

Also, I hope the dude notices when I originally pre-ordered it.

Alan Wake in 2010 ... confirmed? Let’s hope the window does hold true. I've been much too excited about this one for far, far too long.

You are a chump if you preorder a game which doesn't even have a gameplay trailer out. In fact, you are a chump if you preorder a game before it is released to manufacturing. (I admit I am a chump)

You what they say, "Two chumps don't make a right!" (or something like that...)

I think Alan Wake is just too complex to convey in a demo anyway. I'm not saying it's a game that will change the world, like the people on the AW forums have been thinking (well, maybe with the writing), but there's definately a lot more going on than what we saw at E3. How do you go about selling all that in a demo without being one-sided?

@ Benzido

It was called E3 2009.
(( I don't even own a 360 & I saw Gameplay footage. ))

I'm more interested in the social simulator during the day than the battle during the night.
After all that time, is good to hear some confirmed info about this game.

He said he preordered it in 2005.

I'm not entirely sure why you would have had this preordered since 2005 either. This was back when all we had to go on was a name and a promise of a game that is different from others. How can that be so exciting to incite a preorder?

I was really looking forward to this game until I saw the gameplay demo at E3. I mean, the game looks fine, it's just that I was expecting a heavier emphasis on horror. The game seemed focused on flashy special effects and action instead of scaring the crap out of the player. What happened to Silent Hill style horror games? It seems like current gen horror games are confined to being new takes on Resident Evil 4.

Yea, there's nearly not enough shit enducing horror in the game. In fact when I saw the E3 video, I didn't think there was a single monster at all, just a bunch of floating flashy stuff flying about.

*Cries*
I was actually looking forwards to this until a few days ago, now I realise that there probably won't be one.

'tis Fable 2 all over again =( (although from the couple of hours I played that on a friend's 360, it seemed to fall a good bit lower than my expectations, so no great loss, I guess).
