Not so fast! Alan Wake may not be at TGS 2008 after all

Despite being a total no-show at E3 last week – and teased in a not-so-recent Vista promotion – Microsoft Game Studios' Alan Wake may not be coming up for air at the 2008 Tokyo Game Show this October. A spokesperson for developer Remedy Entertainment said, "The Microsoft Vista promotion referring to TGS took place in 2007, and is old news – we've had the winner over for taking the pictures already." He continued dashing our dreams, bluntly stating that "this was not an announcement that Wake would be shown at TGS 2008."

Note, Remedy isn't saying that Alan Wake won't make it to TGS, just that we shouldn't plan our schedule around it just yet. In fact, considering the game was first shown to press at E3 2005 (that's thirty-eight months ago, folks!) we're not planning much of anything around the game, short of our retirement.

[Thanks, Pete]

Man, can I call these things or what.

I heard they renamed this game to "duke nukem forever"

snarfoogle: Jul 22nd 2008; 3:53PM

That's very clever.

Get over it, this game was nothing more than hype. At least the devs from Heavy Rain said what they made WAS a tech-demo. This is just a joke.....

It could be a race! Alan Wake or Duke Nukem (Wait) Forever

It's hard to be disappointed about a game I know nearly nothing about. And based on the recent flop of Alone in the Dark, it's hard to get excited for this game at all.
