This is huge, this is really huge. According to Steam’s registry, Alan Wake is coming to the PC. Although we don’t have any specific release date, we do know that those registry entries are as valid as they can get. We’ve also captured a screen from this registry entry that can be viewed bellow. In case you were unaware of, Sonic Generations’ PC version was leaked in the same way, so there should be no doubt about the validity of the source. Steam’s registry does not lie, that’s a fact. Bottom line is that Alan Wake is coming to the PC, it’s semi-official now.

Let’s also not forget Remedy’s Aki Järvilehto statement:

Quote:

“We have received feedback from a lot of PC gamers, and I have to admit that yes, we somehow ignored that. Let’s see if in the near future we could have some positive news to tell you about dating!”

This can be easily translated as “We are developing it and will let you know about its release date”. The key word here is dating. Aki could easily had stated that they might have some good news about the development of a potential PC version. But no, Aki intentionally used the word ‘dating’ which hints to a future release of Alan Wake to the PC.

Rejoice PC gamers, it’s coming!

make sense,just like Halo&Halo 2 PC

[Kranitoko]

upleasepleasepleasepleaseplease ;P

I'd love to go through the game once again, getting 100% all over again. Had such a fun time doing that.

But not doubt if this is true, Remedy will be disappointed that YET AGAIN something so secret is leaked so early.

I always feel for Remedy when that happens

[yogibbear]

Hm.... we've had too many times that something weird like this has popped up over the course of the last 3 years that I'm over getting re-hyped but I still want it to be true because I will pre-order it the second it becomes available because it will be just as awesome as it was to play through on the 360, if not more so.

[Alessandro]

If it is true MS is stupid to publish Alan Wake of steam instead of GFWL.
Or maybe like Fable 3 will be sold on Steam, but GFWL will be necessary.

How so? Nobody on PC that I know of prefers GfWL over Steam anyday.

Steam only and no other crappy DRM would be amazing if they did it, but I can't think of any MS releases that haven't forced GfWL on you so my presumption would be that they would and I can already predict the minute the game did go up on sale that there would be a 2000+ post topic of people bitching about the GfWL requirement.

[Leha]

Greetings from Ukraine!) Good news. I hope for the Steam release.
And for Remedy - if there going to be a Steam release, please release your Alan Wake Editor for Modmakers. I used to chat on one russian forum about Max Payne and there is still some people who truly loves Max Payne games and they still creating modifications for it. And there is a lot of MP Modmakers round the world. I remember your advertisement video about this editor and about creating Alan Wake game and it looks very awesome. So please, do a favor for your fans. Thanks and sorry for my bad english)

Yes but the publisher is MS so it seems strange that does not require GFWL

[yogibbear]

They could hire the now defunct STALKER devs to do the port

[N2O1990]

also this news make me think Alan Wake 2 really coming to Next Xbox

[ThomaZane]

If they are going to make a PC version, I hope they'll make a Mac version too.

Where was that statement given? It reminds me of Järvilehto's comment given in Finnish at Ylex but the translation is little off.

EDIT. Yep, just as I expected. That's Google Translation from Järvilehto's comment at YleX and the translation isn't that great. More proper one would go:

- We have received a lot of feedback from PC gamers and we have to admit that we are tempted to take that into account. We'll see if, in the near future, we might have some positive news to say about this as well.

"Dating" isn't mentioned at all. I don't know where Google Translator got that from.

What you stated is still a rumour.

As for the PC edition, I'm so happy to hear it! I hope RMD will make a good deal and make it a GOTY for AW1+DLC's(the same, like X360's) in one box, so that everyone will be happy to play all of them without latency.

Speaking of which, I dunno about GFWL, but I'm sure there are 2 different PC editions, such as the "Games on Demand" PC edition, which connects it with the XBOX Live, and with which it's M$'s policy, and the non-"GoD" PC edition, in which make you think that another company DO publish it.

Can't wait for the time to get rid of this crappy XBOX 360 edition and buy the PC edition!

Speaking of translation, NEVER rely on the Google translator!

Unfortunately, GOTY edtitions are only made for games that actually WERE game of the year by official award shows. However, an Alan Wake complete edition would be a good bet.

I mean it'd be really cool:

• Alan Wake Main Game
• Alan Wake: The Signal
• Alan Wake: The Writer
• Alan Wake's American Nightmare
• Plus a poster map of Bright Falls

That would make a great complete edition.

[PC Gamer]

What no-one from Remedy is posting here to debunk the rumour now.....how mysterious when they did that in pretty much all the other PC threads

[yogibbear]

I would be happy with just Alan Wake MG + the signal + the writer. Then have American Nightmare released as a follow up title on Steam later.

Oh come on... this thread has been up for just over an hour. They don't sit there refreshing it constantly like I do as soon as I see another PC rumour sprout up

[yogibbear]

@OP what was the timing between the registry files being noticed and the official announcement for the Sonic game?

There is a logical reason for that, in the fact that they might not want to rush into this rumor.

Developers/Publishers would want to think before they speak, whether to give the indication that the PC version isnt coming, or to try and not give anything away in their words.

[Jarkko]

Okay Remedy. Now you can tell the whole story about the PC version and the decisions you have made in the past.

L.A. Noire Complete edition only came out months after the console release on PC and was originally going to be for consoles only

[yogibbear]

Well we know Markus is on as he just posted in that other thread...

Yeah I've still got hope that Red Dead Redemption might one day get ported... just like Bully Scholarship Edition etc.

Does it matter if they are looking at the thread? Doesn't mean anything, and in the abstract you are making some form of assumption that 'something is going on'.

They speak the truth about it and you'll accept. If they deny then you'll assume they are intentionally lying. True or not, it is one sided.

[JTX]

Great now I can get rid of my 360...alan wake was the only reason I was holding onto it.

[jkler]

lol i wish i was at the remedy compound just now witnessing everyone going apeshit

[yogibbear]

Okay so to add to the OPs post I did some googling and the Sonic thing was noticed in the steam registry on the 8th of October and it was officially available on the 4th of november....

Not that that timeline means anything....

Yeah I don't really mind if they stay quiet on it or not as I totally agree with your post. I was just stirring up Markus if he was reading my post. More because I'd just said previously that the thread had only been on here for an hour so as if RMD should be expected to be reading it and respond or anything.

Definitely they should be allowed to take as much time as they want, and make whatever announcement or not make an announcement at whatever time suits them or whatever it is that they are or aren't doing on steam.

I mean when they said they had "some" people working on Alan Wake's American Nightmare (before it was officially revealed, months back), it gave me the thought:

What could the remaining guys at remedy be working on?

Other projects?
Taking a break?
Freelance?

.... Or Alan Wake PC? o.o
