Ironman273 Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Shine A Light On This Alan Wake Gameplay Clip Finnish game developer Remedy Entertainment, best known for its Max Payne video games, has released a gameplay clip of its upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive, the thriller Alan Wake. The clip is short ? a mere 33 seconds. However, the blink-and-you'll-miss-it clip shows a little bit how the flashlight will be used in the game, the day-light cycle and how the "dark forces" enemies are sensitive to light.

SMELTN Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 I must admit this game looks great. Should be a great mystery-thriller novel type game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySchizo Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Impressive. Though it doesn't look like his flashlight made any difference in lighting. Maybe cause these scenes were all taken outdoors. I'd carry a pistol instead. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimplySchizo Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 oooooo... ok. that would be a reason not to carry a gun i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper_Maniac Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I think he does carry a gun. It sure sounded like he was in the second gameplay clip (2 of 2) here on Shacknews. He also picks up a shottie too. I can't wait to get my hands on this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal_dragen Veteran Posted January 12, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 12, 2010 Yeah, from what I've seen in the developer diaries, etc. light is going to be your main weapon against the enemies. You use the light to weaken them in some fashion so that they become vulnerable to your "conventional" weaponry. Still, looks really sweet. The more I see of this game, the more I'm getting really excited for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Star Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Can't wait for this to release! :D It already looks amazing. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George P Global Moderator Posted January 12, 2010 Global Moderator Share Posted January 12, 2010 The enemies are basically shadows with no real physical form until you hit them with light and it makes them take shape so then you can blast them in the end. It's a very interesting and fresh gameplay Idea compared to the stuff we got in the silent hill games. It also looks very good and will probably look better when it's done. I know for sure the story telling and plot will be top notch since this is being penned by the max payne creator who's name I can't remember atm. But the 2 original MPs had great story telling.

+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 13, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 13, 2010 A Heavy Rain killer with Poets of the Fall sound track, right why I needed :) What on earth does this game have to do with Heavy Rain? One title next year I am interested on seeing how it pans out now that Silent Hill is down the pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahhell Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 A Heavy Rain killer with Poets of the Fall sound track, right why I needed :) How can Alan Wake be a Heavy Rain killer when both games are exclusive to their respective systems?? Oh right, it can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimplySchizo Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 How can Alan Wake be a Heavy Rain killer when both games are exclusive to their respective systems??Oh right, it can't. Yea. Not to mention two totally different genres for starters... Just let the guy bask in his abnormality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Veteran Posted January 13, 2010 Veteran Share Posted January 13, 2010 Looks really good... I take it the PC version is dead now, though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 13, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted January 13, 2010 Looks really good... I take it the PC version is dead now, though? Chance it won't be, but MS will certainly have an exclusivity window on it to push 360s - Not that half the PC world wouldn't pirate it anyway, but the window will help push some 360s if it's a good title.

Nothing to do superficialy, but both are hot adventure/Psi thrillers exclusives, well to me at least :p And it features "WAR" from poets of the fall, best euro pop-rock band ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the usual Draken doesn't own a PS3 so has to try and put down any exclusives it has by saying the 360 has the "killer of it" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a very interesting and fresh gameplay Idea compared to the stuff we got in the silent hill games. it kind of reminds me of the mechanics they used in old japanese RPG or adventure games.... somehow getting light to shine of 'ghost' type enemies to materialize them so that you could physically attack them didnt that Zelda game for the Gamecube do that?

Please discuss topics respectfully. Attempts to bait others into flamewars will not be tolerated. The use of "fanboy" (or any similar derogatory term) when used against a specific member or group of members will be considered flame-bait and/or a personal attack. You also may not join a discussion for the purpose of destroying it by making lame and unhelpful comments. Such people will be dealt with accordingly. In summary, no flamebaiting, no trolling and no personal attacks. Surely stating that you had a stopwatch in hand awaiting a reply is pretty much admiting you were baiting him into the discussion? :p Back on topic, certainly looks like a decent game although been a while coming, I remember the original trailers for this back when the Nintendo Revolution fake trailers were about!
