probably the same as the DLC for the first game. those were full blown chapters so i expect the same here.

MS might be letting Remedy sharpen their teeth on XBLA before letting them launch Alan Wake 2 as one of the premier titles for the next Xbox.

It's fucked for me too.
It's an interesting chance for experimentation.
I see this as more of an experiment to see if something that was a full priced game and didn't sell huge numbers can come back as a more compact (shorter) xbla only game and be successful.
If this works I would not be surprised of alan wake 2 goes this way (and more big name games do the same). Gets us closer to that true episodic nature of games people have been wanting for a while now but lets ms experiment with this on the current xbox to see if it works and then either drop it or if successful bring more of their franchises to this model in the next xbox.
I hope there is less zombie moments compared to the first (the biggest thing I did not like about all the vga stuff was how everybody was doing zombies in various forms)... to me the best parts of alan wake were walking through the empty forest when the surround sound was in full effect. Hope there is more of that in this game..... also helps make the combat situations have more impact and also makes them feel scarier.

Man I love Alan Wakes aesthetics. Great great lighting. Now all they have to do is turn off spidey sense and I am all aboard.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Are we sure its XBLA and not Games on Demand ?
It seems more like a chance for MS to experiment with different strategies for seemingly niche titles. Those Japanese Kinect games would bomb horribly here in the US, but at least on xbla they are easily accessible for purchase and can be advertised as such. It does sound like this game could be quite large, so I wouldn't write it off for that.
Why is Mr. Scratch the enemy? Wasn't he supposed to be Alan's replacement after the end of the game? I didn't play the DLC's.
Also, this seems like a straight-up continuation. All the 'next AW game won't be AW2' teasing was stupid. This might as well have been called Alan Wake 2. And where's Alice?

Is this episodic? I'd love an eventual disc release.

Or perhaps people just enjoyed the game.

Yep, because it's totally unlikely that there are people who actually bought the game and are legitimately disappointed with the blurry graphics and the repetitive gameplay (Just to name the most glaring flaws...)
Will play the trial game and then decide if this game deserves a second chance.
Indeed. This will be a day one purchase for me, and the wait won't be too long.

The idea of a doppelganger returning in your place from an otherworld is pretty heavily Twin Peaks, dude...

Looks too... samey. The narrative has become a convoluted mess and I can't say I want more of it. By the time I played the DLC I was pretty much sick of it. 
If it introduces radically new gameplay things I could be persuaded, maybe.

My thoughts exactly. What a poor change.

Hopefully they dont release it 2 days apart from Grand Theft Auto V
Looks great, and I loved the original. Was hoping this would be a retail release at some point.
Or maybe people actually fucking liked the game.

Do either of the two DLC episodes of the original end up in a way that it acts as a bridge for what this game's potential story might be ?
There better be new Poets of the Fall music in this.
Though they had a new track even in the iOS release of Death Rally so I don't think I need to worry too much.

A while back, they said it was pretty big for a downloadable title.

Awesome!
Day one.

Dude. Nobody spoils Twin Peaks, not even the most heinous of men. What you've posted is literally
the final scene of the show
would give away the identity of Laura Palmer's actual killer to anybody who saw the image and then begun watching the show

I fail to see why you have the urge to be so hostile towards everyone. You're really on a roll tonight.
I have the trailer recorded in sync guys, but not the greatest quality (stream was not that good for me). I will upload it and then post it here.
edit: viacom blocking every uploaded trailer on youtube.... they should fix the audio then on GT.com
I did not list it, so maybe it's going to last a bit longer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xgg4dIYnOUo
