Alan Wakeâs developers are concerned enough about spoilers getting out that theyâll talk with Microsoft about keeping the gameâs ending out of copies sent to the press in advance of its release.
G4TV quotes the Remedy Entertainment managing director Matias Myllrinne as saying the studio is âinsanely carefulâ about how much of the story itâll give away, and that, if it were his call, heâd hold back the ending.
âI think weâre going to be insanely careful about how much of the story we reveal. Weâll clearly discuss with some of our friends at Microsoft whether we even give the ending of the game for anybodyâs preview. Iâd like to hold it back, [I] donât want anybody to spoil it for the audience. Thatâs just my personal feeling.â
Myllrinne goes on to talk about spoilers and how devastating they can be to a well written story, using the analogy of being told that Bruce Willisâ character in The Sixth Sense is dead. What?! He is?! Spoiler alert, Matias, dammit, spoiler alert!!!
