Interview With Robbie Bach from Sith Gamer
According to an interview at PCGH.de DX10 support in Alan Wake is still uncertain. On the bright side, if you have a quad-core CPU, you'll be enjoying a 30% or so performance increase. I think they must have misunderstood Markus Maki's answers though, as according to him DX10 support just hasn't been announced. The game, however, is Vista exclusive so you do the math.
Mika Reini, the office manager at Remedy Games (developer of Alan Wake,) has confirmed in the official forum that the rumor of a "big Microsoft's first-party title" getting cancelled has nothing to do with Alan Wake. The official forum moderator's announcement:
The official Alan Wake forum has just posted an announcement in response to the rumor that Alan Wake is the "big Microsoft first party title" that is getting canceled.
The guys over at PSN@Home decided to go about finding the truth to this rumor that was posted on N4G. Their result... "Have not seen this rumor myself thanks for letting me know. No substance to this, Alan Wake is being developed for the 360 and Vista."
YouGamers: So - last two questions, we promise! The biggest things with PCs at the moment are Windows Vista and DirectX 10. Anything special for DX10?
Microsoft's new Windows Vista operating system is aiding the Finnish game developer Remedy Entertainment, of Max Payne fame, in obtaining further publicity and lift.
Alan Wake is probably one of the most anticipated games of the moment after the recent footage. That's why it is too bad that Remedy Entertainment today confirmed that game won't come out before early 2008.
