    Something about the animation seemed a little raw, and the way he held the pistol seemed off, but like you said, early days and all, good to actually see someting - ANYTHING!

    Did not expect this game to be first person. I didn't realise it was going to be. I'd always imagined it in third person.

    Good that they have something to show though. I've been waiting for more about this since 2005.

    Yeah, while I'm of course glad to finally see gameplay of this game...any gameplay, as long as its been in fucking production, I find it a bit disappointing this is all there is that was being shown. On top of, its considered "very early". I still want to be excited about this game, and I still am to a point, but I'm getting kinda annoyed. Very highly.

    Wow, this looks like total garbage. ._.
    And I don't mean graphics-wise, I don't care about graphics.

    I haven't heard anything about this game other then people just saying it's going to be good, and that eventually it's coming out. I don't really know what all the fuss is about.

    Thank you, that footage was pretty awesome. I really can't wait for this game, and if it gets canned I think I will explode.

    Wow, at least it is something. The only thing I didn't like was the new "Alone in the Dark" vibe I was getting from it. Oh well, it was barely anything anyway.

    Really i thought that footage was boring to watch nothing really happened he wandered thought the Forrest found a hut and picked up a shotgun thats awfully frightening for a survival horror game.

    Gah! Where did this come from?

    Thought the thing was gonna be third person. If it's gonna be played from a first person perspective they're gonna have to do something about stuff like animations and camera movements. Make it feel like you are the dude, that he moves naturally, and not like some floating camera following a stiff arm around.

    Yeah I got that too. :\ It's the stiffness I think.

    Yeah this was hardly the most exciting demonstration ever. Guess we'll have to wait until GDC for that. It was never a survival/horror though.

    Well it's a 1 minute crap quality video leaked 8+ months before release, with no context or no nothing given. Few games would appear interesting given a reveal like this.

    I thought this was going to be third-person. I have lost interest completely. Is this an old video, before they went third-person?

    I would be surprised if this game makes it for a 2010 release.  Alan Wake is quickly turning into the Duke Nukem Forever of the survival horror genre.

    Hahah, wow.  Who knew this game was going to be first person?  I'm all for it, though.  I prefer First Person perspective to Third Person.  Too bad that video didn't show much at all.  I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a shooter.  I hope they reveal some more information on this game soon.   Nonetheless, I'm super excited for this game.  I hope it kicks ass.  (and that they do something with the character animations... something felt  a little off)

    This actually isn't Alan Wake. It's a canceled PS3 game called Redwood Falls. So never mind then. Heh. Looks like this game could've been cool though.

    So that wasn't Alan Wake? And I had hopes that is was an actual game and not just a fariy tale told to frighten small gamers on the dangers of constantly re-scrapping your game concept over and over again.

    I know...I was under the thought that Alan Wake was also a sim for buying coats by that first trailer. If you can't even see it...then what the hell!

    Well, shit.  The demo was made by 8 people... that's amazing.  It looked like such a cool concept too.  Well, I guess now I'll go back to trying to figure out just what the hell Alan Wake is actually about.  I'm still psyched for it.  :P  But that RedWood Falls looks like it could've been awesome if they found a publisher and got a proper sized team together...
