Developers Remedy have rubbished the claims pointing out in a posting on their official forums that the cause of all the fuss, a Microsoft flyer promoting the event, was in fact a year old.

"The Microsoft Vista promotion referring to TGS took place in 2007, and is old news - we've had the winner over for taking the pictures already,"

"Sorry for the confusion and possible disappointment, but this was not an announcement that Wake would be shown at TGS 2008. Remedy's team is just getting back from a bit of holiday and we haven't had time to chat with Microsoft on upcoming shows/showings yet."

So we're back to square one and wondering if Alan Wake is turning into this generations Duke Nukem Forever
