A bit of a blast from the past tonight.  We’re going to be covering something we haven’t covered on the site in quite a while.  Remedy has saw fit to do something special for their community and posted up all three parts of the previously exclusive “Making of” documentary that was made for the Alan Wake Collector’s Edition.  The documentary is made up primarily of interviews with various Remedy team members.  Some development footage is shown, as well as footage of the game, but for the most part it is a narrated story.

The documentary is cut up into three parts.  The first part focuses on the history behind Remedy, the game’s developers.  They are the creators of Max Payne and Death Rally, and the first part talks a lot about what it was like for the industry in those days.

The second and third part focus exclusively on the making of Alan Wake, and they are fantastic.

Alan Wake is out now for PC and Xbox 360.

Halo 4 “Scanned” Trailer October 19, 2012

It looks like the new part of Forward Unto Dawn is not the only Halo 4 news today.  A new Halo 4 trailer has been released, and for the first time in a video medium we get a look at the Master Chief’s life and see just what made him the mechanized destruction machine he is today.  The trailer is produced by David Fincher (Fight Club) and it looks…just glorious!

If I may speculate a bit on the trailer here, I am curious if this scene (or a scene like it) is going to appear in the final version of Halo 4.  It looks like the Master Chief is being interrogated and tortured by the Prometheans.  The Covenant never bothered to do this sort of thing, which already shows a major difference between the two enemy races.

The Chief has never been tortured before.  If this scene is a part of a sequence in the game, it would be fascinating to see how it plays out.  Torture sequences have appeared in games in the past, I’m sure the most famous one was probably the one in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.  It will be interesting to see just what the Chief will do.

Halo 4 is coming November 6th, 2012.

Its Friday, that means the third part in what will probably be the closest thing that is ever released to a Halo movie has been released on Halo Waypoint and Machinima Prime.  While you can watch it just fine on your Halo Waypoint app for the Xbox 360, you can check out the movie on your computer or mobile device below.

More episodes will be released each Friday, leading up to the release of Halo 4.

If you haven’t seen the other parts yet, you can watch Part 1 here, or Part 2 here.  Be aware that a feature-length Director’s Cut of the movie is going to be released with the Halo 4 Limited Edition, and there has been talk that it will also be released to Blu-Ray Disc (BD) in December.

Halo 4 is coming November 6th, 2012 exclusive to the Xbox 360.
