Destructoid exclusive: Alan Wake TGS 08 teaser photo

A few days ago, a promotion that Microsoft ran for Windows Vista resurfaced on the Internet. It was a drawing for the opportunity to be digitally inserted into Remedy’s Alan Wake and a trip to the Tokyo Game Show to view the game in action. The bad part of all this is that the promotion is over a year old. We don’t know who beat the March 2007 deadline or if a winner was even chosen.

Until recently, we didn’t know a lot about Alan Wake. We knew there was a writer, some shadows and clouds, and windy roads, but that was the extent. At least that used to be the extent of the knowledge of the game. Recently, I got my hands on the teaser trailer that was supposed to be debuted at TGS 2008.

The level of excellence and the information that can be gathered from the teaser is enormous. In fact, I’m still speechless. Hit the break to check it out for yourself.

Funny.

I think they need to change the title to "Alan Wait."

...

Are you still waiting, Alan?

Please continue.

A new school of marketing video games is born. Luckily I actually like this song and I don't know enough about Alan Wake to be excited about it yet so I wasn't pissed.

Wasn't this supposed to be a launch title?? Unless MS really jumped the gun on Sony and released a video for Xbox720 before either the PS3 or 360 was shown :o!!!

Oh dear, that's brilliant. I really wish Alan Wake was actually going to come out, and not be rubbish.

i hope alan wake is somewhat similar to half-life in that it grabs you in like no other game (except for half-life i guess)

if so, i'll never be jealous of a ps3 game again
