It’s is already shaping up to be an Alan Wake-intensive month – both American Nightmare and the PC version of the original game will be released in February – but developer Remedy Entertainment decided to up the ante by hinting at future games for the beleaguered writer. In a short interview with Joystiq at DICE 2012, Remedy CEO Matias Myllyrinne asserted that the Alan Wake series has a bright future as long as fans want more. “We’re crowd pleasers,” Myllyrinne [...]

Situated on the first floor of Shinjuku’s Pasela Resort, the bar offers a selection of Resident Evil-themed meal options, including Tyrant spare ribs, [...]

Many years ago, during Alan Wake‘s development, Remedy Entertainment announced that the much-anticipated survival horror game would release on both the Xbox 360 and PC. Nearly one year before the game’s release, however, Remedy dealt a blow to PC gamers by suspending development of the latter. A non-committal statement from head writer Sam Lake (“we’ll see”) seemed to destroy any hope of this port seeing the light of day. Seemingly against all odds, it now appears that the PC version [...]

RE6 will feature three globetrotting story arcs, each focusing on a different character: Leon Kennedy, Chris Redfield, and a yet-unnamed third person. The three campaigns can be tackled in any order, and, though the stories are separate, they will at [...]

Among the proposed new games are a first-person shooter, a flight simulator, and “an Uncharted-like game.” The more [...]
