When the wife of the best-selling writer Alan Wake disappears on their vacation, his search turns up pages from a thriller he doesn’t even remember writing.

I'd like to thank the good folks at remedy for pricing the game at the extremely fair amount of 20,99€(23,99€ later) in Europe. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Installing now!

[Roarshack]

Green man gamming is doing a promo too for 33% off: http://www.greenmangaming.com/promo/halftermhorrors/

The game is so cheap. I was actually shocked. So shocked that I bought Magicka and resident Evil 5 at the same time.

Can't wait to start playing!

[thebestbit]

I need a new PC just to play this game again.

[Stemot]

Bought! Great price in £'s for the Collectors Edition. Thanks for finally bringing the game to us against the odds.

[edcar007]

Thank you Remedy.
May you make games forever and ever!

CE is free atm. Hence the strikethrough on the price on steam.

[PC Gamer]

Bought it around 5.55PM GMT appeared early in the Steam store in the UK as soon as I heard my HD update I knew it was on the store ready to go!! Should be ready to play in around 2 hours now.

Big thank you to everyone @ Remedy & Nitro Games who made this possible on PC

I will probably still buy the UK retail collectors edition as well cannot resist all those goodies either buying both is still cheaper than the 360 CE anyway I can always give my brother the retail steam keys anyway

[djshauny1]

Thank you very much Remedy

Downloading now

UK internet sucks lol but it should be downloaded in an hour or 2

[ryamkajr]

Gah. Decisions....

Do I want to pay now or wait for retail (I already have both versions for the 360, so I have played the game).

As I live in WA state, I pay sales tax even on Steam purchases. So for me the price is a wash.

I really like having physical copies, but want to play NOW and not in 2 weeks!!!!!

<sigh>

Looking forward to posts on how it looks/plays.

Jealous in Seattle.

I live in Hungary, the lower price might apply to EU countries east from Austria(Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Latvia etc).

[ARustyFirePlace]

only 9 more mins left before it finishes downloading

[ryamkajr]

Remedy/Nordic,

Any idea when retailers (Amazon/Gamestop/et al) will start listing the physical/retail versions?

Well it sucks compared to some of the guys speeds here

[PC Gamer]

1GB already in 10 mins only another 80-90 mins to go now. Surprised its not on the Steam best sellers list yet though

[Alex Fly]

Thank you for both the great price and the CE as free goodness ! I love you, Remedy ! It was worth the wait !

* shed a tear *

[Crispy]

20 mins to go with 3,4MBs

[ryamkajr]

Also (final question)

Given that it is nearing evening for the folks at Remedy, who drew the short straw(s) to stay up late providing developer feedback/support?

:-)

[fantomena]

3.0 MB/S here.

30 minutes to launch!

Check your download region through the Steam client.

Steam => Settings => Downloads + Cloud

Pick the closest country / city to your location.

I once boosted Steam download speeds 5x because the download region auto-assigned was way off for some weird reason

[Mrtk]

I know I said I'd go for retail before, but 20.99€ is just too good of a price to wait for two weeks and pay almost 40€.

ETA 2h from Steam wohooo

Thank you Remedy for such a great deal!

[yogibbear]

It was right... but i have an option for my actual ISP's server.... which might be faster so I'll try that thanks.

[Alan Wake]

Bought it!

[Crispy]

Soundtrack ready to listen. Must, resist! I havent heard it in almost a year so it will be so sweet to experience it all again in-game.

[Wambo]

Wow, my region got 20,99€. Thank you Remedy Entertainment!

Greetings from ex-Yu!

[Crispy]

It seems ppl are rushing in. DL speed now under 1MB xD

[Jer9Carver]

Thank you Remedy for releasing the PC version of Alan Wake!
I'm so glad it's finally back home! ^^

Now the waiting game begins, as my download speed is just around 550 kb/s. (You can do it, internet hamster, just keep running!)
I guess I'll just start a staring competition with my download meter in the meantime.

[AeddGynvael]

20,99 EURO for the game until the 23rd WITH the LCE CONTENT FOR FREE?
Remedy, I...

I SODDING LOVE YOU GUYS.
Seriously.
You guys ROCK. <3

That is all.

Not in my region I DL over 2GB in under 30 mins only 90 mins to go now its still around 1Mbps.

[yogibbear]

MW3 and Magicka both on sale as well... so.... will kill it.

[QuickVegasskill]

Ok i have it. Game installed and after few minutes of play i can say.

Remedy game looks great. I played AW on 360 but on PC game runs and looks how it should.

Game runs good for 70-80% of time but in some moments framerate spike to 100 fps and when i turn camera dip to 30-40fps? Why so huge difference?
Some parts of the code are less optimized than others? ?

Can you guys add fix(framerate limiter) when i can limit game to 60fps max? I dont need spikes to 100+fps.
Also "V sync on" is not an option to me it takes out too much fps.

[djshauny1]

Time for a beer while i wait

Can't you force it on through nvidia control panel or via the power tuner thing (forget the correct name) for ati?

What are your specs?

[fantomena]

Dowloaded 3 GB now.

[MarkusRMD]

Thanks for the good will guys!! You're the best fans! Really!

QuickVegasskill: we could add a frame rate limiter but I don't know why you would want it?

MSI afterburner you can limit frames, disable v-sync in game and force v-sync with D3DOverrider.
