@Michael Dukakis for Senate!: I had two dreams about him after he died. I don’t remember the first one all that well but it was about meetin’ him in town somewheres and he give me some money and I think I lost it.
But the second one it was like we was both back in older times and I was on horseback goin through the mountains of a night. Goin through this pass in the mountains. It was cold and there was snow on the ground and he rode past me and kept on goin. Never said nothin’. He just rode on past and he had this blanket wrapped around him and he had his head down and when he rode past I seen he was carryin’ fire in a horn the way people used to do and I could see the horn from the light inside of it. About the color of the moon. And in the dream I knew that he was goin’ on ahead and that he was fixin’ to make a fire somewhere out there in all that dark and all that cold and I knew that whenever I got there he would be there. And then I woke up.
@Lainface: Are you implying that on weekdays Alan Wake is a thriller author, by night a man running in terror, and on the weekends raiding tombs in tropical locales?
Has there been an Alan Wake promotional screen which HASNT had some sort of glaring light source?
Do they want me to squint through the whole damn thing or what?
@Dvorack: nah I felt the same way when I saw this trailer a few days ago.
It's like In the mouth of madness crossed with the dark half. It wouldn't be surprising if Alan Wake turned out to be the true villain or the dark side of his, considering he's fighting all the villagers.

@Falsoman: PC version is still up in the air as far as I know. Hopefully it does come to PC though, as a game originally built to take advantage of PC hardware, it'd be a shame if those of us who helped build the hype for the game got left out.
@Nickj360: Well, i won't make that kind of statements since my desktop computer is an iMac :P Great for design work and as a media center, but not exactly capable of better than 360 graphics. It is, however, able to play all the games if you take out some of the better effects and model detail.
It ends up being like an ALMOST 360 but not quite there.
@NeVeRMoRe666: Yeah, the more I see about the game, the more it seems like a wannabe Alone in the Dark, which is not at all what I was hoping it would be.
Stop making sense, dang it!
@Lets-game: Are you sure it got removed or did it just disappear from view. Down at the end if you click Show Older Threads you should be able to see it again.
Here's hoping it's not a Soap Opera and that the story is interesting enough that I won't be skipping cutscenes because I don't want to listen to another narrative halfway through the game.
I'm counting on you Sam, I want to like playing your game as much as i like listening to you talk.
@Hungry_Ghost: yeah, what are you getting at. If you're suggesting I skipped the narrative in those games, i didn't. But if the Max Payne games were made now we would probably find them a tad corny. The story needs to be interesting since the gameplay as well relies so heavily on the narrative.
I know Sam Lake to be a good writer, but some of the elements of the story displayed here seem a bit familiar. Pay attention to the words "displayed here".
Nothing yet seems to be treading on roads not yet traveled. Perhaps its the fact that this game has been in development for so long that other games have already had the chance to implement devices paraded in this one.
@Heartless141 uses Ember!: they both win, for intuitive design ideas, and story driven game experiences. definitely buying both, definitely want both more than any other game.
I've been looking forward to this game for years. I can't wait till it's finally released. It looks amazing and reminds me of the old Alone in the Dark/Silent Hill games as far as atmosphere and games go.
The old AITD? More like the new AITD, complete with the episodic type content. Did I ever have high hopes for that one and it crashed and slightly redeemed with the PS3 version.
I'm particularly not quite impressed with the graphics after all this time.
@SG79: The graphics are good enough for me, they work with the game which is enough. I didn't want to mention the new AITD although it does remind me a bit of it - didn't want to conjure up any bad memories for anyone. If only they didn't get influence for that game off of a shitty Uwe Boll movie, it could have been awesome.

I think that's the whole point.
If you want to tackle a real problem, may I suggest supporting legislation that outlaws dark movies having quick cuts to white.
9 about made me go blind a couple of times with those transitions. What happened to the good old star wipe?

Half of these look like Alan is running away from a UFO.
