News: Alan Wake not coming on PC... maybe

It appears that a PC version of Alan Wake may not be simultaneously released with the Xbox 360 version.

A press release from Remedy Entertainment stated that currently, their attention is focused solely for developing the game on the console, thereby leaving the PC version "up in the air".

"It is accurate that we are currently working exclusively on the Xbox360 version of Alan Wake," it said, adding: "Remedy has a deep heritage in PC gaming and would love to see a PC version available to its PC followers, ultimately however this decision lies with our publisher."


Horrible stuff. Come on, Remedy Entertainment has a massive PC fanbase thanks to their magnificent work with Max Payne. Not to mention the fact that gamers have been long awaiting the release of this game.

I have seen footage of Alan Wake at the recently passed E3 and it looks very, very pretty. On top of which, the action is visceral and exciting in a Resident Evil 4 over-the-shoulder manner, plus melee combat. It's set to be a blockbuster, so I hope Remedy doesn't waste it by just releasing on console.

But I remain optimistic, if Resident Evil 5 can come to PC, as well as GTA IV, anything can happen. I for one, am waiting for the day Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and it's sequel, both PS3 exclusive titles, comes to PC.
