Yeah, I know. I didn't see the GfW logo at the end of the new E3 teaser, though, which means things may have changed. Hopefully not, but you never know.

Every time this thread gets bumped I'm amazed that I started it, since I can't even really muster apathy about Alan Wake now.
And it looks like they're using Alone in the Dark '08's 'episodic on the same disc' set up, which is surprising because I thought everybody hated that in AitD.

I also didn't like the narration in this context. It sounds a bit too calm considering he's just been hit in the head with an
axe and escaped a dozen homicidal creatures.

I thought the narrator voice acting was really shoddy. The rest looked okay, though.

At least I am not alone in the feelings of 'meh'.

it was pc vista only no xp version, and xbox360, although the dll library that was used to make halo 2 run on the xbox360, and vista only on the pc was the file that was modifyed to make halo 2 run on xp. So am guessing if there's no xp version again than thats what will happen again.

Most people haven't even actually played AitD5, they just wrote it off based on review scores (IGN's incredibly poor one especially) or because they tried playing it with the god awful keyboard controls or an unsupported gamepad.

I'm sorry, you seem to have me confused with Koki and/or ZylonBane, who only talk about PC versions of games, and always from third hand accounts. Most people I know that played it (and who I watched play it) did so on 360 or PS3 and declared it shit. And the whole 'all of the game is optional' structure was a significant part of that.

Say that again s.l.o.w.l.y. I am not getting you.

Well, the gist of what he's saying is that if Alan Wake is released as a Vista exclusive, it'll probably be hacked to work on XP just like Halo 2 was. That's provided it's not running exclusively on a DirectX 10 codepath, however.
The rest of it involving modifications to Halo 2's dll libraries for the X360 and Vista to make it work on XP? That, I'm not too sure about. It's mighty interesting if that's how it happened, though.

its only one dll, it tells halo 2 that you are running windows vista, even though your running windows xp. halo 2 vista comes with directx 9 and directx 10 drivers, because the vista version was a console port. although Iwont be getting alan wake anyway, didn't like what I saw from the footage shown at e3.
