Open up your eyes for Alan Wake media

Really? Alan Wake disappointed me. I thought it was going to be an adventure game running toe to toe with Heavy Rain, and being an Xbox equivalent.

This is just a third person shooter with a flashlight. Not a good track record for those games, most Silent Hills sucked, and the Alone in the Dark game that looked very similar sucked fairly hard as well.

I agree. I love horror games and I think Alan Wake may end up being pretty awesome.

On the other hand, I just wish that so many franchises would stop taking 3+ years to develop (or at least I wish the company would wait until it is near completion before announcing it). This game has been around since 2006? 2007? I remember seeing videos of it back then and, yes, it was damn impressive then. Joystiq still seems to think it's impressive, but personally, the graphical flair is beginning to fade in my eyes.

I'm still fairly interested in this game, but honestly, I don't know how much longer I can keep my interest when it's slated for release next year instead of focusing on closer releases.

(P.S. I'm sure it's been said many, many times before, but....Joystiq has a horrible commenting system.)

I really enjoyed Dead Space. That was a great 3rd person action / horror game. If Alan Wake is similar to that, with very little or no HUD then it could be amazing. I really won't be keeping up with the news on this game because I don't want to learn any spoilers or know too much about the plot. A game like this is better to just discover everything on your own without the input of other sources to bias your mind.

No. It's more like Silent Hill or Alone in the Dark, only with open world.

Odd since this game was shown back at E3 2005. You had 4 years to at least notice it.

ha, i was thinking alone in the dark too.
