The first Alan Wake is about to finally get its PC release, according to listings on the Steam registry and further teasing from Remedy.

Files for specific language versions of the game – including English, German, French, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish – plus other files all appeared on the registry (via GAF).

Remedy’s Aki Järvilehto recently teased a PC release in a interview with Finnish-based YLEX (via JPS).

“We have received feedback from a lot of PC gamers, and I have to admit that yes, we somehow ignored that. Let’s see if in the near future we could have some positive news to tell you about dating.”

Remedy was originally developing Alan Wake for PC and Xbox 360 together, but the PC version was canned at X10 last February.

“Hypothetically, what we care about is the Remedy brand on any game needs to stand for something… polished quality, cinematic action and great storytelling,” Remedy boss Matias Myllyrinne told VG247 in a post-launch interview on Wake 1 last year.

“If it is created by us or a port it still needs to live up to the same standard. People need to be able to rely on it when they put down their hard earned money.”

It doesn't contain heavy action elements like those you find in Resident Evil series. This is more of a psychological thriller, something straight out of a Stephen King novel. Highly atmospheric and engaging storyline.

Remedy to self-publish Alan Wake PC – all the details

Remedy to self-publish Alan Wake PC – all the details

Remedy’s confirmed it will be the publisher of Alan Wake for PC when it launches on Steam early next year.

The confirmations comes after confusion reigned on if the Finnish studio or Microsoft would be doing publishing duties, with the latter releasing the 360 version in May 2010, as well as publishing the upcoming American Nightmare for Xbox Live Arcade.

But In the first of two confirmations, Remedy community manager Peter Papadopoulos said on its forums: “Microsoft is still the publisher of Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, which is being released on XBLA in early 2012.

“As for Alan Wake PC, it’s a Remedy self published title which is coming to Steam, also being released early in 2012.”

Further information came from MikkiRMD, aka Remedy writer Mikko Rautalahti, who also noted the concern of PC gamers following the initial cancelation in February 2010.

“I can genuinely appreciate that people were frustrated — and it was frustrating for us as well, because it was out of our hands at the time. These things can get pretty complicated.”

It was confirmed yesterday it would use Steamworks, not GFWL, as its platform.

That means that there will be retail copies distributed but ultimately one will have to install steam in his PC.

Alan Wake PC – More news coming next week; game will support the X360 controller | DSOGaming | The Dark Side Of Gaming

I guess they are talking about the XBOX360 controller. Another good news is that the game won't use Game For Windows Live.

Kiss DX11 goodbye (not much of a surprise though):-

Alan Wake PC will support DX9; more details about its game engine | DSOGaming | The Dark Side Of Gaming

This is in what posted in their forum:-

We have HDR/FP16 on PC. SSAO is in and like some other effects has some quality settings we can bump up with fast gfx cards. We have FXAA in American Nightmare 360 and it's entirely possible it'll make its way to Alan Wake PC

Yes, we have a DX9 engine, but it's a very advanced DX9 engine. You can do pretty much everything you want (even deferred rendering with MSAA some have said was impossible) apart from some special techniques like HW tessellation on shader model 3 if you have the performance.
