Alright fanboys, get our your spoons and scoop up a big dose of skeptical sauce, Amazon has pinned a release date on Alan Wake. Yes, that Alan Wake. The same Alan Wake that currently rests in a state of media blackout. The same Alan Wake that we knew hardly anything about before the media blackout. Amazon, in all its prescient wisdom, has slapped a release date of October 1 on the game and is accepting preorders. How much weight are we putting behind this date? Considering the circumstances (blackout, remember), we'd say we're hovering just above zero.
That said, Alan Wake is ostensibly a survival horror game, so an October release date would at least make sense ('cause of Halloween, get it?). We'll see.

Great tip...but not to be dismissed are the other games listed below for release.
Resident Evil 5 - September 28, 2008
Fallout 3 - October 1, 2008
Dead Space - October 27, 2008
Fracture - October 31, 2008
That's one heck of a release time frame.

I was under the impression the RE:5 wasn't due until next year.

Am I missing something? Why are people so jacked about this game. I tried looking it up online and their doesn't seem to anything unique about it.

It's because Remedy is making it. You remember remedy from the glorious Max Payne games, right?

I never played Max Payne. So I guess I will have to wait to get more information before I get excited. At least will be on my radar now. The picture above reminded me of Dead Rising and I love that game.

@ dylan.....Microsoft, not Sony, premiered the RE5 trailer at E3 in 2007 touting it as a 2008 title. It's always had an estimated Q4 2008 release but Amazon puts a date on it!
