Those key PC version enhancements in full:

  • Experience Alan Wake's Pacific Northwest in higher resolutions and higher fidelity than ever before.
  • Refined and fully configurable mouse and keyboard support (or if you prefer to play with the Microsoft gamepad connected to your PC, you can do that too!) .
  • A wide selection of customizable graphics settings and support for 4:3, 16:9 and 16:10 aspect ratios.
  • Multithreaded engine that takes advantage of quad core CPUs.
  • Additional options our fans have sought after, such as field of view adjustment as well as "hide HUD".
  • Works with AMD Eyefinity 3D 3-screen mode.
  • Works with NVIDIA NVISION2 Stereoscopic 3D.

For $30 this looks like a great deal. Glad they finally brought it over to the PC.


I've read that the PC version will include all the DLC for Alan Wake; however, it was not specific about the inclusion or omission of the latest Alan Wake DLC: Alan Wake's American Nightmare (confirmed for xbox live download also in February for $15)

I've been waiting for this for a while, but some other news I read today put a heck of a shadow over the possibility of me buying it.

"Remedy's first title to be available on the platform will be Alan Wake."

If they go for the whole "ZOMG ORIGIN R BUST!!!11!" stuff EA's been doing, there's no chance I'll even think of touching AW... I really do hope they keep it open though and just use Origin as another distribution source...
 
Alan Wake is a great game. I picked it up for Xbox day one and never regretted it. Bought all the DLC as well. It's a great game of storytelling and creep factor. The gameplay is fairly basic, but it works well.

And also, American Nightmare isn't DLC for the original Alan Wake. It's a sequel / spinoff. Completely new game.
 
The PC version of Alan Wake made its money back within 48 hours of going on sale, Remedy has revealed.

Alan Wake PC launched on Steam on Thursday, 16th February - nearly two years after the Xbox 360 version. It came with a raft of new features, including visual improvements, stereoscopic 3D support and multi-screen functionality - all for ?23.

It shot straight to the top of the sales charts, beating out the likes of Activision's FPS behemoth Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. At the time of publication (Monday, 20th February) 1350 people were playing the game on Steam, with a Monday peak of 2656.

Now, Alan Wake on PC has proved a profitable venture for Finnish developer Remedy, which self-published on Steam (a boxed retail version launches next month courtesy of Nordic Games).

"We are very happy with the sales and hitting #1 on Steam at launch was nothing short of amazing," Aki 'AJ' J?rvilehto, Remedy's EVP wrote on the developer's forum.

"We recouped our development and marketing expenses during the first 48 hours.

"And yes, we're certainly very excited about PC."

The game's early sales have also pleased Remedy writer Mikko Rautalahti, who said: "We're pretty happy with how things have been going this far.

The PC version of Alan Wake launches on other digital platforms, such as EA's Origin, very soon.

If any of you followed Alan Wake for a while, this Easter Egg is pretty funny.

Here's another Easter Egg I've come across:

I haven't bothered to scan it yet so still a mystery =)


This game is awesome - glad Remedy was able to reclaim their initial investment on this - maybe we'll see some other console exclusives cross over to the PC
 
Just taking a break from the new American Nightmare for Xbox. It's a lot of fun. A bit of a departure from the original, but the core combat mechanics are there. More enemy variety makes things interesting, and the story is pretty neat.

Definitely don't play it if you don't want mega ultra huge spoilers for the first game :P

I've only tried story mode so far. I'll be sitting down with Survival mode tomorrow, probably.
