In 2005 Remedy Entertainment announced that they were developing a new
revolutionary game named Alan Wake.
5 years have I been waiting for this game to be finished.
Then Remedy Entertainment partnered with Microsoft, and the game was
subsequently published exclusively for the Xbox360. No Windows version.
F************CK you Microsoft. F*CK YOU!

Ugh, that sucks. :(
Bummer and a half..
Just as bad as say the sim game that was supposed to be this totally
revolutionary new thing, took forever for them to develop, and when they
released it, it was pitiful.
Maybe the 360 version will be as good as promised... But yeah, that sucks.

shame on you, Linux dude. :)
but don't feel bad: it's not revolutionary (same old Silent Hill style and
gameplay) and it's actually quite awful according to critics. That's very
Microsoftian, living on hype alone...

Wouldn't be the first game I bought new hardware just so I could play it.
But yeah, that sucks. Maybe after the hype dies down some it'll come out on
Windows.

when your hardware to play the "revolutionary" game of 2005 will be more than
enough to play much more technically demanding games. :)

It would be quite an expensive game then... :P

Yeah, I overreacted a bit when I read yesterday about the game and why it
was published for Xbox 360 only. Had to vent a bit. OTOH, it's just a game.
There are plenty of others, and as you say, maybe they'll publish it for
Windows after all. (And OTOH, if they do, it will probably be Vista/7 only,
which would mean the game would result to be quite expensive after all...
Windows 7 costs almost as much as the cheapest Xbox360, so if I really wanted
to play it, I would have to decide which one gives more bang for the buck...)

There is that. :-) I did buy an N64 to play Goldeneye back in the day, but
I never actually bought an entire computer other than that just for a game.
New graphics cards, tho.

Perfectly reasonable. I've had games I waited for, only to find they
wouldn't run, yes. And there are several very neat looking PS3 games I'd
like to try.

The most bitter I am about is that I can't play Final Fantasy games
because they are all for PlayStation or PlayStation 2. I have never got
motivated enough to buy a PS2 just to play FF games...
It has always puzzle me why some companies make their games for one
console only even when they don't have any personal interest in promoting
that specific console. (Ok, I have to admit I don't know if Square/Enix
has some dealings with Sony. I wouldn't actually be surprised if they did.)

I would guess because the console manufacturer gives them a better
exclusivity deal. I.e., kickbacks.
At least if you get a PS3, it does Blu-Ray also. XBox went with HDDVD and
failed at that too. :-)
