Also remember, that we as forum staff are in the same position as you. We are all eager for more information but it's best to be patient and let Remedy do what they do best. Create great games for YOU to enjoy.

Just an announcement to everyone that this is not "news" and we don't know when the media blackout is to end.

Damn.

False alarm to the maximus.

ThatGuy · Apr 7, 2008

Don't expect any new infos until the Microsoft Pre- E3 Event late June. Mark my words!

Looks generic as hell.

Also - an FPS? Really? Really? Come on, wasn't this supposed to be an adventure or something?

Very boring if true.

Edit: the video works nicely, why are you complaining.

If it's indeed real, I would've hoped the game would be played from a 3rd person perspective. :/

Looks okay I guess, seems a bit "rigid", can't explain. The environments also seem decent enough, good snow effects.

Alan Wake just got Bioshocked

Main guy is walking around a snowy area, has a torch, and a gun in his right hand.
you can see the sea, and there's a boat
sounds windy
walks into a little cabin and goes towards a shotgun near a window

That's actually exactly right, the stiff camera movement and poor flashlight diffusion reminded me a lot of Bioshock.

It's just that in Bioshock the space was closed in and that worked better.

F#A#Oo · Jan 28, 2009

Maybe you'll be able to change perspective?

FFChris · Jan 28, 2009

What!

No no, this was supposed to be a third person action adventure. Not first person. I refuse to believe this... =(

Edit: The graphics are pretty fantastic though. Still. NO. BAD REMEDY.

I don't think there has been any snow in the released media (or first person perspective either), although IIRC in one pic they seemed to be wearing winter clothes. Setting would seem to fit otherwise. Could be real, I guess.

I agree about the rigid part, exactly my thought when watching. His hand was way to steady, looked unnatural.

SecretBonusPoint · Jan 28, 2009

Looks very pretty, but i think maybe all these years ensuring its prettyness has resulted in a complete void of gameplay.

it just got DOOMed lol

if this is real then these are my impressions:
- first person is good
- flashlight looks horrible, wtf
- movement and (i think) animation look stiff

if it's not real:
- damn it all to hell

i hope the gameworld is still big and open(ish) so it's like a first person exploration game, that would get me rock hard.

or maybe you can change perspectives a la the suffering?
maybe it's fake. looks pretty alan wakish tho. especially the lake.

Kingsgoon · Jan 28, 2009

Seems like they included doom 3 flashlight technology.

Maybe some MS game tester got fired and thought "fuck it".

Francias Castiglione · Jan 28, 2009

Flashlight looks utterly shit.

Interesting that his only favourited video is a PS3 ad.

roMonster · Jan 28, 2009

That forest looks slick.

But he can't carry a flashlight and pistol at the same time?

Router · Jan 28, 2009

If this is now an FPS I'm going to personally cockpunch everyone at Remedy.

Danielsan · Jan 28, 2009

Looks real but I agree, for some reason the animation (or lack thereof) in first person looks stiff/wrong. Give me third person Alan Wake remedy, or at least give me both options (would be cool for multiple play throughs) The environment looks great though, snowy forest.

El-Suave · Jan 28, 2009

Doors like the one on the cabin shouldn't open like this in 2009 anymore. Apart from being sceptical about the FPS thing, it looked good though (as much as the footage allows conclusions).

Uncle · Jan 28, 2009

From the video description:
(This is 1st person view) I will be posting 3rd person stuff soon.

Unless the info details the awesome gameplay (or the cancellation), I don't think I'll care.

Router · Jan 28, 2009

On the plus side... Makes me want a ''30 Days of Night'' game.

Yes, multiple play throughs confirmed. :lol

I think I'll hold back on passing judgement on 2 minutes of blurry Youtube footage of a game we haven't seen properly for a year.

Did you guys read the video description?

To be shown in a demo at GDC 2009. This is a small clip from actual gameplay of Alan Wake. More to come later this week. The is running on a Xbox 360 test kit. (This is 1st person view) I will be posting 3rd person stuff soon.

It appears that you can change perspectives.

Edit: Beaten.

Well then sorry for the harsh word, but at least make sure you're correct before stomping on someone's balls. ;p

And I'm glad 3rd person is still in, but should've been obvious with the bad-ish animations from the 1st person perspective; if a game is primarily played from a 3rd person perspective, more often than not the animations for an optional 1st person view always suck.

Outtrigger888 · Jan 28, 2009

Im sure they didnt like how the game was turning out in 3rd person, and decided to go first person, and thats why we havnt seen the game in years. Maybe the character didnt animate well (bad animations or somthing).

Nevermind the guy that posted the video said he will be posting vids of the 3rd person view

randomwab · Jan 28, 2009

So, less "it got bioshocked" and more "it got alone in the darked"?
