Alan Wake has apparently slipped back once more according to reports from a Microsoft even in San Fran. The game is now set for a 2009 release.

2009 is still a long way off.... so we will see whats out around that time

Alan Wake looked quite beautiful back in the day... but by 2009 might start to look a little dated.

kenco_uk · 14th May 2008, 10:01

Maybe it'll be exclusive to Microsoft's new console?

Paradigm Shifter · 14th May 2008, 10:06

I think Alan Wake is a title that will be joining Duke Nukem Forever in the "I'll believe it's released when I hold a copy in my hands" category...

They must be pumping some serious cash into this game...

WildThing · 14th May 2008, 10:21

Nooooooooooo! Have been waiting ages for this game. Can't believe I will have to wait even longer, don't know how much more I can take.

Aterius Gmork · 14th May 2008, 10:23

A second STALKER?

It's already starting to look dated really, one of the biggest reasons for that is Crysis, wether you like the game or not.

Hustler · 14th May 2008, 11:17

looks like this is/was a gfx engine in search of a game.

Mentai · 14th May 2008, 11:22

Yeah it looked hugely impressive a couple of years ago, now not so much... and next year? I'm a bit disapointed, I remember watching a video of it sweeping over a portion of the game world advertising dx10, reading a preview and being so excited. I'm guessing it'll look as good as every other 360 game and only PC users will be disapointed.

Bauul · 14th May 2008, 12:15

Doesn't surprise me, but doesn't worry me either. Remember that Max Payne was about 3 years behind schedule when it was finally released, and it turned out not only to be beautiful (and totally cutting edge), but play awesomely as well. Just because it's delayed doesn't mean it'll look dated and won't play well.

charlesbeams · 14th May 2008, 13:07

i was looking forward to this. damn.

devdevil85 · 14th May 2008, 16:37

360's holding it back.......j/k

QFT... I hope it gets released a tad faster though, with the current delays there is still hope.

It sucks it's delayed, but I'd rather them make sure it's polished and retail-ready before dumping it on all of us. I'm looking forward to it. The look and info on the game kind of reminds me how Silent Hill felt at first when you're in town. Anyone else?

AClark · 14th May 2008, 16:57

I have to agree with most people here and say that by 2009 I can't see this being so impressive. What exactly is the plot line to this game? It seems to me to be a gfx/physics engine more than anything ;[

Bladestorm · 14th May 2008, 17:56

Much better they hold off till they think its ready. If crysis is anything to go by especially, there may also be a case for keeping in something in development longer untill the market is ready for it too.

johnmustrule · 15th May 2008, 00:09

they'll probably update the engine, just like every other delayed game.
