Remedy explains why Alan Wake is taking so long - interview
(hx) 04:07 PM CEST - Oct,03 2008 - Post a comment / read (4)
The site of Finnish mag Pelaaja has a 50-minute podcast (in Finnish) which includes an in-depth chat with Remedy lead writer Sami Jarvi on the current state of Alan Wake. Topics of discussion include: why release a new trailer now and what are Remedy's hopes with it, the way they are approaching storytelling in an open world game. Also, since this is the first time in two years that they talk about the game, has something significantly changed in the game's design and the improving quality of videogame's scripts in recent years. VG247 has translated some info from the podcast:
- The reason it's taking so long is simply that it's a small team and building an open world game is very tough. They just want to take their time with it, but it's definitely making progress.
- The reason for a new trailer is simple. The team mostly came up with it on a whim due to the release Max Payne movie. Also, the company just wanted to show something new on the game.
- Remedy's using some of its old Rockstar contacts for the title's development. Navid Khonsari who handled most of the mocap and VO directing in Rockstar's games prior to GTA4 is apparently working on voice directing.
- Remedy owns the Alan Wake IP, so the firm's able to take its time with it, though Järvi admits in the interview it's taking a long time to make. Remedy insists that it's not that it won't ever be happy with the game, but the team just wants to make it as good as it can be.

lol, he's making it sounds like it's some sort of never ending side project.
I hope it doesn't drag on for too long..
