Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Developer Remedy Entertainment has been showing Alan Wake behind-closed-doors now for awhile. We've seen it a few times, but it's always "no photography, no videotaping, no direct feed." So instead, we get a few screenshots here and there and have to do our best to relay the experience to you. 

So it's unfortunate that some of the first footage of these demos has leaked out in the form of a blurry, shaky-cam video from Russian games show Igromir 2009. Even though what you're seeing is an early build, you still get a good idea of the polish and atmosphere... the shaky/blurry cam thing is not, however, the look Remedy was going for. I promise, it looks better in person. 

First video is above, with the second half of the demo after the jump. Alan Wake is scheduled to ship for the Xbox 360 sometime next year... I think. Maybe. Probably in the Spring. I hope.

[Thanks, Sean!]

Fans I'm sure are wishing Remedy would stop Stalin and get the game out

I def wanna see all of this footage in better quality. I have seen the majority of it in excellent quality, though, since it's the same demo we've been seeing for a while. Wake is definatly going to be a AAA game. Also to Isay Isay...No, actually, I'm not. I want them to polish it and make it the best they can before they release it. They can take all the time they need. You've seen what happens when devs don't do that...like AitD.

They had better be announcing this for PC soon. If it were not for this game, I would have sold back my 360 right when I got my upgraded rig. Still, game looks hot. :-)

Damn, I hadn't seen much about this game, but it looks awesome. Definitely will be picking this up. I was a huge fan of the Max Payne games, but this is just something on a completely different level. Coolness.

360 or not, I'll find a way to play this.

@Stigmeyer

They already canceled the PC version.
