Alan Wake not listed at E3 2008

Posted by Morry on 14/06/08

IGN has listed every videogame officially confirmed to be shown at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3 08). Running from July 14 to July 17, the expo will showcase the year’s upcoming blockbuster titles. However, our most anticipated title, Alan Wake, is missing from the list of showcase games.

As you can expect Microsoft to be the primary marketer for the game, they should be including Alan Wake in their showcases whenever they feel the game is ready to be shown to the public. Their list for this year’s expo includes anticipated titles such as Fable 2, Gears of War 2, Halo Wars and Too Human.

Before coming to quick conclusions, IGN points out, the list includes every videogame that has been “officially confirmed” and that there is always the chance that companies will be keeping their surprises a secret until the show actually starts. We will just have to wait and see…

Nope still not confirmed. E3.net is not an official source of the E3 expo and is run by UGO.com — basically think of it like a fansite. IGN’s list is not any better as it’s not really direct from Remedy but it’s as close as you’ll get and they usually fact check as well.

So yeah I wouldn’t count on it personally but you never know. I wouldn’t trust E3.net anyway.

eman: Heh, We are all hoping for a release this year or early next. Hope they don’t make a Duke Nukem Forever or Too Human out of this.

IGN isnt keeping its hopes up for Alan Wake to be shown at E3 this year, i just read this on the site…

Remedy’s Alan Wake was announced at E3 2005. Three years later and the game seems more rumor than reality. While some would believe E3 is the perfect place to showcase Alan Wake, our guess is that this (likely) 2009 title will slip by E3 and make a splash later in the year at the German Games Convention. Microsoft will keep it’s focus on the titles of ‘08, with rare exceptions.

I hope there prediction isnt true, but it is sort of right.
