This game has not aged well, in terms of my interest to play it.

I really liked Alan Wake, probably would of rather them make a Alan Wake 2 though.

the same great game with better graphics, some extra customizability, free DLC and - if you buy it soon on steam (till next week?) - including the collector's edition extras for free.

Not a very good trailer, but the game looks good.

I gotta admit, I liked them going pulp sci-fi/horror with this trailer. It was a fun choice for a game whose whole story is itself a self-knowing homage to horror cliches (mostly because the game is being written by it own main character who feels himself to be a hack).

Looks like I'm game for more Alan Wake.

Ummmmm... Yeah, hence the second part of my sentence that you chose to ignore. I didn't play it when it came out on consoles, even though I was very interested. A year and a half, and hours of coverage later, it doesn't seem that interesting, even on a PC.

Sorry I didn't spell it out for you.

Alan Wake is one of the scariest games I've ever played. It was a truly stressful experience, but in a good way, if that makes sense. My girlfriend had to leave the room a few times because she was too nervous haha. Definitely looking forward to this!

I think what Roomrunner meant (please correct me if I'm mistaken) is that this is a trailer for an XBL game that has not been released in any format yet, not the PC version of Alan Wake.

can't wait. wonder how long the game will be. I'm disappointed Alan Wake didn't do better as I'd like a full fledged sequel. Hopefully this does the job though.

Loving the campy Night Springs/Twilight Zone (or, The Scary Door for Futurama watchers) style voiceover.

Eugh. I really didn't like this. The tone feels completely different from what Alan Wake was, almost as if they're trying to market the game by tricking people into thinking it's something it isn't.
