Maybe I’m not the targeted audience, but why did the game have the narrator go over what the game should be showing? Yes, we can hear that guy’s screams because we’re listening to you already…

Plus if he wrote the manuscript, why does he still need to find the missing pages unless he’s either a really bad writer or has terrible memory?

Lol at the guy playing. He just looks so awkward standing there.

This would be (even more) awesome with some Night of the Cephalopods style narration!

If ‘Dear Esther’ continued past it’s limited plot, it might be a little something like this game.

Man! I’m almost as disappointed as when Oblivion Lost actually came out.

No doubt this’ll be a competent shooter, but it’s not the West’s Fatal Frame I was hoping for. It also seems very videogame-y, and seems to breaking the flow every 15 seconds.

In the Mouth of Madness is a fine inspiration, though I don’t think they’ll take it all the way; Alan Wake the character facing Alan Wake, the video game, as a final boss would be a little too mental for Microsoft to accept.

Frankly I’m glad the game isn’t exclusive, my PC would reduce itself to molten slag trying to play this thing.

It seems to be closer to a real world Resident Evil 4 than anything else (rather than the Capcom gotho-medievil-Hammer horror-version of contemporary Spain RE4 took place in), this could be a very good think providing there’s time to kick back and interact with NPCs, soon to be monsters/monster food.

Looks pretty cool.

One thing I like about modern games is how much animation has improved in the last couple of years. Graphics have always been getting better and better, but your character still moved like a broken doll with only three poses. Now, when Alan Wake ducks out of the way of flying projectiles, he doesn’t just do some kind of gym-workout squat, but he actually, you know, ducks out of the way, like a real human would. I like that.

Oh yeah, and as for the bullet time: the moment I saw that I was flooded with memories of Max Payne. Good memories. Very good memories. I have no problem with bullet time, scripted sequences, or guns, because that basically a description of Max Payne.
