En community manager i Remedy’s Alan Wake forum har posted nogle interessante ord fra Alan Wake universet, som måske fortæller mere end man tror ved første gennemlæsning:
“The amount of pages keeps growing each night. There are also new edits on the old pages. They keep getting more aggressive. The story is rewriting itself. The protagonist is now my namesake, and his wife is called Alice. The most worrying aspect: the genre seems to be shifting. It’s turning into a horror story. I can no longer be certain whether the hero can succeed or even survive. Apart for jumbled fragments of bad dreams and an oppressive feeling, I can remember nothing of the process when I wake up. But this morning, a breakthrough! When I came to my senses, I could smell her perfume on my shirt. I am close. I know it. I must push on.
– Alan Wake”
Man mener at den sidste del, “I am close. I know it. I must push on.” betyder at udviklingen er ved at være overstået. Spekulationerne flyver ihverfald rundt og du kan tage del i dem her. Ordene står skrevet på noget materiale han har fået med ved en promo disk. Dette har han så fået lov til at videregive.
En lidt senere opdatering afslører lidt mere tekst:
“Rusty’s screams were still ringing in my ears. The tree stump the grove got its name from looked like a severed leg of a monsterous bird. I prayed that the gun would make a difference. Every time I moved the flashlight, I was afraid of the horrors it might reveal. Suddenly a ragged arrow gloved in the light. I followed it.
– Alan Wake”
Alan Wake har været under udvikling i lang tid, og der er mange, inklusive undertegnede, der glæder sig til at se hvad skaberne af det fabelagtige Max Payne hiver frem denne gang. Spiller er foreløbigt sat til udgivelse på et tidspunkt i 2009.
