http://www.alanwake.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1706 It's not much of an update but at least we know these guys are alive and kicking. I would hate to play poker vs these guys because they hold their cards close to their chest.
Sorry to be cynical but that post just sounded like the sort of thing I send to customers to pacify them while i'm thinking of a good excuse for some bad news i'm about to deliver......
Remedy has always been the same... they choose not to release half-assed games packed with bugs. It's better this way.
This is the game I'm looking forward to the most, even that demo they had running ages ago on the oc'd quad core looked amazing.
So it wasnt the most "informative" of updates about the game, but atleast their still going, and i say spend as much time as possible. Rushing things just leads to trouble.
As all the above posts have mentioned, we are pretty much seeing the direct opposite of the Need For Speed series. aka Taking their time and making decent games. The game will by far out weigh the time we have had to wait, especially if the old gameplay demo is anything to go by.
