I really, really like the character design.

Although I guess that always has been one of Remedy's strong suits. That, and awesomeness.
 
Stunning work from Remedy.

Looks greeeat.
 
Just looking over these again and again.

This f*ckin' engine could give Unreal3 a run for its money.

I mean this stuff is seriously approaching photo-realism.
 
No it's NOT Max Payne 3 - it has NOTHING to do with the Max Payne series other than having the same developer.

Well, it's made by the same guys (Remedy) but it's a totally new deal and the main character is not Max Payne. His name is "Alan Wake" apparently.

You can call it that if you want...

But this is Alan Wake, different things.

e;f;b.
 
ummmm, wow?
we are on the brink of photo realism people
 
FYI: Take Two own the rights to Max Payne. Remedy sold the rights after the first Max Payne was released, with an option to develop a sequel.
Hence they are now creating a new IP.
 
Alan Wake's face looks exactly like Max Payne in Max Payne 2. Jeebus!
 
Great screenshots. They have a bit of a Twin Peaks feel to 'em.
 
stunning, simply stunning, they were in the latest pcgamer issue, cant wait for this game.
 
wow, STALKER's environments have nothing on this, the scene with the car's headlights on the abandoned building and the mountain vistas are incredible, i didn't know it was possible for a game to look so real

Yeah, Remedy said that they were inspired by a number of fshows and films, including Twin Peaks, while developing this game
 
Very nice! The environments look VERY realistic. As does the lighting effects.
Though, to me, it still appears that the clothes are "stuck" to the character... But, it still look very nice :)

Really? Well, apparently it shows. I just hope the story of the game isn't as complicated as Twin Peaks was. That series made my head hurt .... Liked it nonetheless.
 
It does look awesome, just a shame that it's at least a year away. It's a 'thriller', by the way.
 
Not very long a go pre rendered movies (final fantasy spirits within) looked spectacular.

Now we can play games with simmilar sort of visual effects.

Quite outstanding.

Good times.:E

Alan Wake has hit my most anticipated game list. Awww, reminds me a lot of David Lynch's Twin Peaks now.

"Does this mean I have to upgrade."

We know that video and comments in it too well...
I have to see this game in motion...
 
Here is the premise of Alan Wake:

Alan Wake is a horror writer whose fiancé was his muse. Whenever he was with her, sleeping by her side, he dreamed the dark dreams of the demented. Now, while I'd be the kind of guy to dump her and run for the hills, Alan not only was in love, but was profiting off of the dreams. His nightmares because the reality of best selling horror novels. But when his fiancé mysteriously disappeared, never to be heard from again, he stopped dreaming. In fact, he was so crushed by the loss that he stopped sleeping altogether. That can make a guy pretty tired and also pretty loopy.

Before too long, he retreated to the sleepy town of Pride Falls in the state of Washington to check into the sleep clinic outside of town. After curing the problem and getting a little bit of sleep, Alan finds and sleeps with a woman that looks eerily like his missing love. Yes, that's pretty messed up. What's even more messed up is that he immediately starts having the dreams again. The problem is, when he begins writing again, the dreams start seeping into real life.

The question for Alan is simple and complicated all at once. Are these visions and dreams really coming to life, or is he simply slipping into a dangerous dementia from which there is no return?

Sounds kind of like a movie
 
Valve's trademark statement:
No Comment

Alan Wake looks like it will be absolutely amazing. These next gen titles are really going to be something to behold.
 
Wow that looks great, my only complaint is that some of the buildings look a little flat.
 
Why does he have a flashlight in his hand when its broad daylight?
