At Microsoft’s CES press conference, it was announced that Remedy’s Alan Wake will take an approach to downloadale content that’s very similar to Quantic Dream’s Heavy Rain, in that the game will expand via apparently self-contained episodes that will continue the story.
Alan Wake is “story-driven, like a TV series,”, with Microsoft’s Robbie Bach comparing the game to “the TV show Lost, as written by Stephen King, and filmed by David Lynch.” Those are some strong words – hopefully the game can live up to the hype.
We’ll find out when the game launches later this year.
