Microsoft Cancels PC Game Version of Alan Wake – 4 Year Wait For Nothing
When I first saw the DirectX 10 demo for the game Alan Wake back in 2006 it was impressive and the title quickly became one of the most anticipated PC games for that time period. Advertisements for the game were seen all over the place and anyone that has run 3DMark in recent years has likely seen the ad in the benchmark application. It was previously thought that the PC version of Alan Wake would be worked on after the release of its Xbox 360 version in May 2010, but Microsoft has shattered hopes by confirming to Strategy Informer that Alan Wake will no longer be coming to PC. This is sad to hear as this was one of the most hyped up PC game titles and it never even came out. Here is the latest DirectX 10 trailer for those of you that have an Xbox 360.
Some games are more suited for the intimacy of the PC, and others are best played from the couch in front of a larger TV screen. We ultimately realised that the most compelling way to experience “Alan Wake” was on the Xbox 360 platform, so we focused on making it an Xbox 360 exclusive. Both Microsoft and Remedy have long histories in PC game development. This decision was about matching this specific game to the right platform.” said a Microsoft spokesperson.
