Usually these posts are done by either the person who recorded the footage (in this case, Rey) or someone who's gotten the chance to at least play the game in question. I fall under neither of those categories, but I do desperately want Alan Wake.
This Ten Minute Taste appears to be an excellent indication of the game as a whole, based on what we've been hearing about Remedy's latest. I'll readily admit my mouth was agape when I saw it for the first time, caught up in the spooky atmosphere and narration.
Basically, May 18 (the 14th for Europe) needs to get here. Soon.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Ever play a videogame before?
*** can't say nothing more for now ***
Ah, it never changes around here.
Anyways, this game is motherfucking win with some icing and sprinkles on it.
LOVE the narration!
And yes, the dodge was just being executed incorrectly. From the looks of it, the LB locks onto the target and the stick dodges, instead of having to hit both at the same time. That would make it about the same as most other dodge mechanics.
He always hides behind excuses like he's super excited for Alan Wake or something. Bullshit. I've read his comments on this site when I post and they're very much against anything not PS3. He just does his trolling in a more stealthy manner.
That franchise is a sloppy, wet turd waiting to be flushed down the shitter.
the story seems like it could be pretty cool, but something about the game play seems a little lame. how long did it take them to make this game?
im wondering if the delays were due to story re-writes?
and is that Brad Garrett's voice i keep hearing?
Let me guess, you think they're all "douches" and your comments aren't completely useless? You're living in bizarro land, my friend. It's not everyone else who's the "douche", but maybe it's you? I'm not calling you one, but simply questioning you. There's a reason people call out your shit.
Yes I dont have an XBox 360, I believe this makes me qualify as a "douche" around these parts...
...sorry!
Apology accepted.
I don't take someone as sincere when they claim they're excited for a game, and intend to purchase it, but in the same breath are publicly deriding it, saying things like how "the narration totally destroys the experience," or that "its too short to be worth a purchase." I think if I actually believed something about a game "completely kill[ed] the atmosphere" I wouldn't be excited for it or purchase it. I take your words even less seriously when they are at odds with my own opinion, and in matters of fact, contrary to reality.
The issues with the game are readily apparent, and no one is denying that they're present. You, on the other hand, are criticizing it on a fundamental level, ignoring intentional stylistic choices and attacking anyone who calls you out for how you're handling your discussion.
You're putting a lot of energy into lambasting an upcoming release, in multiple threads I might add, when you've apparently already made up your mind about it. I'm stuck at work, I'd love to be playing games rather than talking about them. What's your excuse?
But that's just from the video I've seen. Bar the gameplay, it definitely has potential.
This game does look really fun, though the constant narration sounds just enough like Garth Marenghi and is just pedantic enough in style that I will hear all of it in his voice.
I'll play it one day, but probably not soon, considering how easy it's becoming to find AAA titles at less than half price 6 months or less after release.
