Alan Wake trailer gets people all excited
Everyones excited about Alan Wake….except me. I don’t know why but it just doesn’t look all that interesting.
It reeks of taking itself a little too seriously and I haven’t seen anything combat wise that makes me want to pre order. I’m hoping I’m wrong, in fact most sites are basically telling me exactly that; but my issue is that Microsoft need a mid year hit and whether they like it or not, Remedy are now in the position of having to supply one. I just hope the gameplay is up to it.
New trailer below, featuring moody visuals, moody characters and ‘the darkness’.

Ah I know you will get this, it’s just suffered from being developed for so long and also the change from sandbox to story driven, that’s a major change and the story needs to work of it will flop like a dead fish.
I hope to see a review up here soon!
TWHR, like, what the hell?? You distinct lack of open-mindness and fanboyism is sickening. I think Alan Wake looks great and for many legit reasons: not because it’s NOT on the PS3 – try opening your mind for once
“It reeks of taking itself a little too seriously” is the funniest excuse to bash a game I have ever heard XD

It doesnt do it for me either. I also think guns as opposes to torches are better for eliminating enemies. Torchgun lol.
It doesnt look too promising in the gameplay department, and it reminds me of Silent Hill 2 a lot.
No doubt the plot will be interesting, but i just can’t take another Interactive Movie.
*crawls back into corner, waiting for new Zelda*
It looks interesting for those who liked Fahrenheit or Heavy Rain. Everyone else need not apply.
I do like that the trailer feels grown up – like the games industry isn’t for kids anymore, but rather it’s a real proper industry that can make trailers like movies used to (reveal the idea but not the entire plot)…
I really enjoyed Fahrenheit (mainly because that sort of Moral Dilema in games hadn’t been done) but when I played Heavy rain, i just wasn’t having any fun, it felt like a chore to play.
Dude! I have an Xbox and I love it. I’m not judging Alan Wake it just doesn’t look that interesting to me, it could be becuase the devs dnt wanna give too much away but I feel like iv been looking at the same footage for 3 years!! Make no mistake, I will be purchasing this game just like iv purchased Mass Effect 2 and splinter cell. I do have a bit of a chip on my shoulder with Microsoft since ODST but I’m still a massive Xbox fan!
I downloaded Fahrenheit from Xbox originals – played it for bout a half hour and thought it was the biggest pile of pig shit I ever played so I reckon Alan Wake can go jump in a lake. Whacked out concepts never really work for me. Just give me a gun and I’ll pop some heads. Although Silent Hill 2 is still one of my favs. But Silent Hill has a very well constructed horror plot of its own. Its original without being dilluded – as in thinking its something that its not. You cant combine mainstream art and videogames. Their an art of their own.
Wow this is a great resource.. I’m enjoying it.. good article
