Interview with Markus Mäki at PCGH.

German site PC Games Hardware has an interview with Remedy’s Director of Development, Markus Mäki. The interview answers some basic questions that weren’t known before such as Quad Cores will receive up to 30% of a performance gain and the official name of the Alan Wake engine is .. well just that. Who would have known?

One thing to clarify from this interview is that the title states “DX10 support still uncertain” which can be misread as it being unlikely that Remedy will support DX10. Remedy is keeping quiet about anything DX10 related but I’m sure we’ll start hearing more and more as time goes on. Another thing is that it seems a lot of gaming sites out there (*cough* Kotaku *cough) are for some reason thinking that Alan Wake being Vista exclusive is “news”, even though that’s been known since 2006.

Keep hangin’ in there everyone.

Gamasutra interviews Petri Järvilehto

This is a bit old at the moment as we missed it when it was published on January 9th, 2007, but Gamasutra focused their weekly column “Media Consumption” on Petri Järvilehto; Creative Director on Alan Wake. Media Consumption is a column that looks at the media and art diets of our favourite industry personalities.

It’s a good little insight into Petri’s favourite music, movies, books and games and also has a little bit about Alan Wake in it.

The game is set for release on PC and Xbox 360, though is currently without a date. Järvilehto notes that the game is “coming together well”, adding that he feels Alan Wake is “an exciting project to work with, both technology as well as concept and story-wise”.

The game was demonstrated at the Intel Development Forum at X06 in Barcelona back in September. “Everyone seemed to like the direction where we are heading, and even though we’re not really talking about the game right now, I’m starting to get anxious to show all of the new stuff that we have up and running,” Järvilehto comments.

We took some time to ask Helsinki, Finland-headquartered Järvilehto about the ill culinary behaviour going on in his media diet right now.
