awesome, I also loved Alan wake and this one seems to improve on what I thought was already solid stellar gameplay.
Do want.

The game will be "out" on February 15 ^^
Officially announced from Microsoft today.
I really hope it will come to steam as soon as possible.

"My solution to this was to simply play on nightmare difficulty, where you spend far more time fleeing from enemies than actively trying to stop them and that kept the excitement level up."
err.. you can do that on any mode though, lol. You were rarely forced to do any combat at all.. and since Wake was such a paper doll, there wasn't a ton of reason to stand still and fight any way.
"Enemies are much more aggressive and the pace of the game is very quick"
For me this is both good and bad. I felt the enemies were aggressive enough, and their pace was far too quick for Alan in the first place. And I'm not a spring chicken to gaming, let alone horror gaming, either. But I just don't know if I could personally handle that being ramped up any more unless Alan gets some sort of armor or something to help stave off all that damage he's bound to be swarmed with.
Either way, this game is still on top of my list of games for this year. I really can't wait (and I hope that Feb 15 date is true).

I felt sort of "meh" about a Horde / Firefight mode for this game, but now I'm dying of anticipation. Ten minute sessions sounds perfect, too.
@BoomingEchoes: When I play games, I have a somewhat obsessive nature towards killing any enemy I see and Nightmare difficulty makes that practically impossible.
@Razorpakk: I wouldn't leap to judgment on that. Major Nelson announced the games in the House Party today, but note that the list is organized alphabetically. It's unlikely that the games would happen to land that way scheduling-wise, so I suspect that's not a launch order but rather a simple list. Remedy stated to me today that they still do not have an official date from Microsoft yet.
Great news! The lack of enemy design and combat variety were two of the reasons I didn't get very far in Alan Wake before getting unenthusiastic. I have very high hope for the sequel.
