So is this game only coming to the 360? I really'd love to see this be released on the PC via steam or something like that not only so non-360 owners could play it but so that Epic games could get more money. But really, I want to play this awesome looking game.

Maybe later?

It's not that easy. Game developers don't just say "How 'bout we bring this to the PC to make some moar bucks!"

i too wish to have a PC version or a boxed version as i am apposed to buying Microsoft bucks to buy games. But this game is actually tempting me....

I guess it is later?

If it did, I would doubt it would come through steam. Probably Games for Windows.

the engine runtime is there and it's basically a recompile and optimize job, you can do that with maybe an extra 2-3 people during development, it's not exactly that hard or expensive, this is being published by Microsoft however so it wont end up on it "

maybe because of it, it will appear in the pc.  Microsoft is pushings the developers to launch their games in the pc too.  It is possible for the Shadow Complexc, but it will possible take a while.  Isn't it gear of wars on the pc? "

I'm guessing like other Epic games it will make it to the PC as well. I still am suspecting Gears 2 to come out for the PC at a much later date no matter what Cliffy B. says.

" @FreeTWOGame:   it wasn't canceled the development of the Alan Wake for pc, just postponed.  And Remedy at the time they announced it, said that the idea of bringing Wake to pc was from microsoft.  Also if you see closely, many xboxt console exclusives are also arriving at the pc. "

I think I read somewhere that XBL has an year exclusive for this  game. It could very well be a different game I read about.

Alan Wake was designed for the PC in mind when it first started, not for the Xbox 360, again I point to the fact that Microsoft hasn't published any new PC games at all in the past 2 years and currently have none stated to come out, if Alan Wake comes out on the PC it wont be published by Microsoft "

I first thought that this was a thread asking for it to come to the PS3, but to the PC, maybe as both Microsoft and Epic have ties to it.

" @crusader8463: Just out of curiosity, why are you opposed with your labour being transformed into currency by Microsoft and not your government?  It's essentially the same thing. "

Come to think of it. Theres been a bunch of "Xbox Exclusives" that aren't really Xbox exclusives 0_o

One word: Piracy

" @natetodamax: Actually, it almost is that easy. "

" One word: Piracy "

Or they'll just hold off announcing a PC version long enough for it not to undermine console sales.  There's still money to be made on PC releases, but ease of piracy means it sometimes makes sense to wait until they've got their console launch out of the way and then come back to the PC later.  Example: Force Unleashed.

Given that it's a game that's being touted around town by the guy who made Gears of War...I don't think it'll see PS3 anytime soon.  PC is a possibility, given that the first Gears came to the PC. 
 
Who knows?  If I was a betting man, though...I'd say it's an X360 exclusive, especially since they have been touting it for XBLM's "Summer of Arcade".  THEN AGAIN...Braid is coming to PS3...

I want it on PS3 :(

" @natetodamax: Actually, it almost is that easy. "

Chair is owned by Epic, who reportedly had a REALLY bad experience with the PC with Gears and such, and are adverse to the idea of releasing on it. As such, I'd pen this as doubtful, but it's still possible.

It would be awsome if they sold Shadow Complex codes in stores, that way you could get a direct conversion from money to game and possibly some fancy packaging (like the download code printed as numbers on a credit/debit card)

and yet Zeno Clash sold well enough to warrant a console port, and sequel "

This looks like a 360 only game from what most reports suggest. It is by EPIC games and Chair Entertainment and is being touted as the premier XBLA release of this summer, a la Braid or Castle Crashers. Maybe later, perhaps? But not now.

That's nice, but irrelevant. You said that people don't pirate 20 dollar games. They do. No one said anything about Zeno Clash. "
