Scum Bags Shelved Alan Wake :(

I don't play many games at all, but this was one i really wanted to play on my massive monitor. Seemed to have great story & atmosphere with killer visuals. I just found out its not coming on PC, what ass wipes Microsoft are. Utter pricks.

First time even hearing about this game, but it looks really cool. If it sells huge on the XBox, then I'm sure Microsoft will eventually port it over.....unless they already did a trial and it ended up being way too buggy to invest more resources into it. Time will tell though.

I wouldn't count on it, even if it does well on the 360. Here's the statement from Microsoft:

"Some games are more suited for the intimacy of the PC, and others are best played from the couch in front of a larger TV screen. We ultimately realised that the most compelling way to experience "Alan Wake" was on the Xbox 360 platform, so we focused on making it an Xbox 360 exclusive. Both Microsoft and Remedy have long histories in PC game development. This decision was about matching this specific game to the right platform."

Yeah because that makes so much sense. Microsoft just wants the 360 to have real exclusives. Thats why they stopped releasing their games on PC. When I have a PC and PS3 there is no incentive to get a 360 because all the good games are available to me. So they are building a library of games that you can't get anywhere else like Sony has been. Probably won't ever get a 360 though. Too many games and too little money.
