Alan Wake dev wants to avoid including game’s ending in press copies

October 31st, 2009 at 11:30pm Under Xbox 360

According to a Remedy managing director Matias Myllyrinne, the studio wants to discuss the possibility of leaving the ending of its upcoming thriller Alan Wake off discs sent to press with its publisher, Microsoft. “I think we’re going to be insanely careful about how much of the story we reveal,” Myllyrinne told G4TV. “I’d like to hold it back, [I] don’t want anybody to spoil it for the audience. That’s just my personal feeling.”

Using the twist ending of The Sixth Sense as an analogy, Myllrinne says he’d prefer players be able to piece together the secrets of Bright Falls on their own before having them spoiled by others. Although admirable, his analogy can only mean one of two things: Alan Wake is dead or he’s Haley Joel Osment. Either way, we’re already terrified.

Remedy’s Sam Lake shows off Remedy’s Alan Wake

August 17th, 2009 at 03:00pm Under Xbox 360

Remedy writer Sam Lake narrated a video presentation of Alan Wake at gamesCOM, providing the most detailed look we’ve seen yet at the psychological thriller. We see Wake realize that his wife is missing, and begin the undertaking of piecing together the manuscript that he doesn’t remember writing, and whose events are coming true. Lake discusses the role of the game’s light sources, which act as shelter and weapons against the shadowy, possessed townspeople.

We’re delighted to see this much of Alan Wake. By revealing this much footage, Remedy seems to be treating it like a real game that, in fact, “is done.“
