Since then, the game has undergone numerous delays and re-workings in both the main character's appearance and the overall art-style of the game. Each subsequent reveal of the game has been spread between 2005, 2006 and 2008 with the game's 'final' look revealed in 2009. A release date of 2010 has been announced but until then, check out how the game has undergone it's transformations in what will culminate in more than 5 years of trailers and teasers."

I hope they add paranormal type things into the game. I want a really good horror game that can scare the crap outta ya already and I'm going to have to bank on Alan Wake for now. Hope it's good.

1.5 - @ Major Tom

Tom, if you consider yourself a gamer, why do you feel the need to bash a game that happens to be made by an excellent developer, and just happens to be exclusive to the Xbox 360? So what? I had only an Xbox 360 for 2 years before I bought a PS3, and during that time when all those wonderful games were being released for the PS3, I was not saying anything negative. How about you stop being this way. Just don't say anything at all.

I like the initial model. Seems like with every redesign his features get a bit more stereotypical: heavy brow, angular features, squarer chin. Not a bad design...but why have an unconventional protagonist look like a male model?

Games usually tend to go through a huge transformation over the time.

Like Max Payne... Did you know that the Bullet time was actually implemented few weeks before release and that Max was originally fighting MONSTERS?!

Alan Wake wasn't announced "exclusive for the Xbox 360" it was announced originally for the PC and "consoles" and then Microsoft picked it up and it became a PC/360 game, and then the PC version was canceled. Do any of these crappy blogs do any research at all?

It still has some sandbox elements in the game. While the game is going to be less open, there are still sequences in the game, where you can freely roam in a certain area.

You could compare it to Zelda, where there are many linear areas in a one big world.

Edit: Nice... Disagree in under thirty seconds? That must be a new record

I know, i was fast..

The open areas are in most other games.. It's not any kind of open world.. MGS4 is similar. There are huge areas, but it's still linear. But imo linear games are the best! COD4, Uncharted, Gears2, Half Life 2, ...

3.4 - @3.1

Why would you want a full sandbox game in a psychological action thriller? Remedy has stated that they do not want to 'compete' with games like Grand Theft Auto. Remedy has always aimed Alan Wake to have a deep and thrilling story, for that reason, you must follow a linear path. How are you supposed to enjoy a deep and well written story, when the player is given a sandbox world and is free to do anything they want?!
