Listing all news under the topic Bright Falls.

Media section dismantled.

Posted by ADM on 21/04/08

Wait before you started screaming “Where am I going to see the screenshots!?” let me first explain that the media gallery was a real pain in the ass to keep up since we had screenshots in news posts and also in that gallery. We had to maintain each one and that was quite annoying.

Also since BrightFalls.net is not a fansite and the site is and has always been a news site dedicated to the game we thought we need to focus more on the news than on other sections like that.

Now having said all that the screenshots (and videos) have all been back posted in the news archives and can be viewed by using our handy topic filters on the right side (Screenshots, Videos). You can view all the screenshots (and videos heh) ever released through those filters, if you simply want to check out the latest media releases then head over to the official Alan Wake site.

Now that that’s happened we needed a focus on galleries within news post, which we have updated for you. All screenshots now have a handy navigation system embedded into the site, which will allow you to navigate through each gallery specific to the news post.

Eventually we aim to allow commenting on each image exactly like you can comment to news posts, but one step at a time people ;)

Questions? Comments? Let me know in the comments.

Yes we know it’s not really major news and that it’s been quite slow around here lately, we’ve had some interesting rumours surface in the past month that we were quick to dismiss as false. Just a heads up to everyone that we will only publish news stories here that aren’t rumours or false in any way, if we do we will specifically state it’s a rumour and should be treated as such.

Anyway now that’s out of the way onto the “news”. The Corporate Vice President of Microsoft Game Studios, Shane Kim recently answered 10 questions for gaming website Game Daily. In there he still mentions Alan Wake as one of the games that we can look forward to “later this year and beyond”, note the word beyond there.

You can head over here to read the interview.

Site move successful.

If you’re seeing this message it means you’re viewing the site on our brand new server. The server move was about as flawless as I could get it but unfortunately we had to lose a couple of the comments, since it was a fairly quiet period anyway it wasn’t too bad. This also means the site now allows you to register again, we apologize for the time the user registrations were down.

One quick announcement, the brightfalls.com and alanwakefaq.com domains will no longer point to the site. It is our next step in the transition to the brightfalls.net domain name. If you still use either of those I suggest you update your bookmarks!

Thanks!

Hello gang! We are proud to finally launch BrightFalls.net, the premier news source for Alan Wake and Remedy Entertainment.

We have been hard at work for the past couple of months developing a news site that allows you to interact and comment on the latest Alan Wake news direct from Remedy or the community. Through services like Facebook and our inbuilt RSS feed you are able to follow the news very easily.

Just a little history for all you new folk out there. BrightFalls.net has been around in some form or another since early 2005 where we launched the community site AlanWake.net, the first Alan Wake fansite on the net and what would later become the official community site. AlanWake.net went down at the start of 2006 where it was merged into AlanWake.com and can now be found in the form of the Alan Wake official forums. Since then the news was one area which wasn’t handled very well within the forums and there were a number of attempts to get a dedicated news site up.

BrightFalls.com was one of those attempts, which due to a database corruption prematurely exited the online world. BrightFalls.com no longer is running and for anyone who still has the bookmark for that site please update it to BrightFalls.net.

We tried to recover as much older news as we could and theres even a nice little Christmas present from Remedy which offers you a new screenshot. We know it’s not much but it’s the best we could do during this media blackout. If you crave some info on the game then may I suggest heading over and checking out our in-depth Alan Wake FAQ where we answer every single question currently known about the game?

So that’s about it. Browse around the site and be sure to comment on the news (don’t need to register but it would be nice, it would also allow you to enter competitions and more features in the future!). If theres something you’d like to see here then feel free to post a reply here.

We hope you like the new replacement for the Alan Wake news forum, BrightFalls.net.
