Alan Wake Hit Snooze Button But Is Still In The Works

Gamers are no strangers to delays. Games get pushed back due to all sorts of problems. Some hit complete walls because new technology or consoles come out that render the current graphics engines obsolete. Duke Nukem Forever has been in development for so long that every joke and pun on its name have been done. Unfortunately assurances that the game is ’still being developed’ does very little to assuage our hunger for it.

Psychological thriller Alan Wake is in the same boat. It’s hit some delays according to Remedy CFO Mika Reini but it’s still on track for development. He says that if things had gone completely smoothly the game would be out by now, but that “sometimes you need to take a detour to find the best route forward”. If only they made a GPS system for video game development.
