Title: Alan Wake PC version canned
Post by: Ghostavo on July 17, 2009, 04:34:01 pm: Seriously, W.T.F.? (http://forum.alanwake.com/showthread.php?t=2372)

Five years or so ago the game was used at an intel demo to show the potencial of their quad core processors, it was being developed for the PC (by Remedy which makes PC only games, Max Payne games were ported by different companies) and only after a while was XBox 360 support added. Then they slap the Vista only sticker on it. And now this?

Seriously...

AW was one of the few games i was waiting for, ah crap.
I stopped reading right after the 5th or 6th post, which says M$ is the publisher, FT!
They did the same with Halo back then, and it didn't help the game.
I certainly not going to buy a X****-Box to play that game, should the ~~dip****s~~...~~idiots~~...publisher
really decide not to release a PC version.

I hope M$ isn't touching MW 5 with it's filthy paws.

We can only hope that they've put the PC version on hold because it has so much more content than the X-Box that it's best to get the Engine fully tested via 360 Gamers before releasing the 'real' version ;)

Sure helped Bungie's bank balance.

Mind, I thought Halo was an average FPS that the console gamers were taken with because...well, I don't know why. Because.
