My guess is probably the most realistic one... Facebook game.

" A PC version! Pleeease let it be a PC version! "

I want a PC version.

Just make Alan Wake 2. For gods sakes, just make Alan Wake 2. I waited long enough for the first one.

I hope we get to shed more light on the matter...

It will be a Kinect game where Alan Wake rides a bike and you'll have to point the flashlight at enemies.

Who wants to bet it's going to be

" I hope we get to shed more light on the matter... "

I bet it's something like arcade releases of Case Zero and Case West for Dead Rising 2.

What's with the fancy quote box?

Their quote says that only a "slice of our team" has been working on.  It can't be something huge.  Maybe an episodic re-release of the first game?  On PC perhaps?  That's something that fits the

facebook game

So pumped for E3!

Probably a director's cut with some different scenes and scenarios, there's no way these guys could get a new game out as quickly as fall 2011 so it must be re-using a lot from the first game.

I wasn't really that keen on Alan Wake, the combat was dull and repetitive and the story was crap and not good self knowing crap like Max Payne.

From the way the first game ended I had speculated that the next game would be Alice Wake. That would continue the "A.Wake" theme to the  name of the game.

SPOILER ALERT

Alan rescued his wife Alice from the dark side but at the cost of being trapped there himself.

Um... maybe they're working on a movie or a series of brief vignettes, similar to Mortal Kombat Legacy. There is a precedent for this, they released an internet mini series to hype the project in the first place.

I like something! 

A new Alan wake-esque game for the 360 and PC that isn't named Alan Wake and doesn't have Alan Wake as the main character.

Personally Believe it will be about Thomas Zane, and be more of a prequel to the first game. With Rumors around potential use of Kinect which I'm not to sure about.

I'm going to guess that it will have a similar atmosphere and thematic elements, but involve a new character. Whether or not they keep the same sort of gameplay will be beyond me.

Maybe it's a tale of another person who got haunted by the darkness. I don't know.

What imagination! "

"platforms [...] unconfirmed as of yet"

OR MAYBE, it's this

 "four legs, yet only one foot?" err....a dog with a large penis?   ....oh you mean the game.....no idea.

" "platforms [...} unconfirmed as of yet"

What the heck? Are they actually going to do a PC version?

Alan Wake: The Game

It'll be a side story set in the universe, possibly explaining what was happening but with MORE QUESTIONS AND LOOSE ENDS

Death Rally: Bright Falls

This time, the full game will feature an epilogue and end credit sequence and the upcoming paid DLC will be chapters leading up to the conclusion.

Play through the events of Alan Wake as Alice. What was she doing in the darkness while Alan was out trying to get back to her? Perhaps this game will uncover that.

I forgot to mention, I want to commend Mr. Navarro for using the word "nebulous".

Confirmed: Alan Wake Kart Racing!

I imagine they're going to take an episodic approach. Alan Wake's structure was very TV show like, with the main game being split up into six different episodes, and the two DLC packages adding one more each.

Considering they say pricing is unconfirmed, I think it has to be some sort of downloadable product. If it was going to be a retail product it's almost guaranteed to be $60. Considering Alan Wake didn't sell very well, splitting it into smaller, more frequently released chunks seems like the right move.

Whatever it is, I'm in.

Panic.

Its Alan Wake for PS3. And if its not, it should be!

So its an episodically released game that capitalizes on Xbox Live's ailing Primetime? Bam. 

Funny, I finished Alan Wake today. Finally.

Small team + 1 year of development time + "not a sequel or DLC or anything like that" + "something for new players to enjoy the franchise" = Kinect Derp Derp Demographic dumb down Herp

I'm not too mad since at least this means the franchise hasn't been abandoned. The first game did rack up some satisfying sales numbers in the long run so I guess this is testing if the franchise can sell copies before season two is greenlit.

Still, I'd rather have Alan Wake end with The Writer's ending than to see its potential marred by acute sequeletes.

So basically... it's Alan Wake 2... but they're not putting a 2 in the title.

In this game you just play as a Verizon phone and you collect energizer batteries

Alan Wake was my favorite game last year, but it didn't sell worth crap.  Microsoft put a lot at stake with the franchise and they aren't going to green light a sequel unless they get some more recognition with the name so....  and alan wake downloadable kinect game.  Left hand for flash light, right hand for gun.  The casual crowd will eat it up because at this point they'll take anything to get their kinect some actual use, then we'll see a full sequel to wake spring next year, I imagine.

It adds Kinect support. Who loved Heavy Rain?

I was getting some serious cthulhu vibes by the end of the game. I was hoping (and still am) that they can somehow make the game link to the cythulhu mythos as the game is perfectly set up for that.
