This was so damn hyped, easyily AAA and people said this could also win GOTY becaouse it was supposed to be this brand new

detective game with creativity and amazing puzzles.

But instead we get your carbone copy, Resident Evilish type Shooter, with this weird go back into a the past feature with....YES MONSTERS, and Zombies.

Thats right, we have invisible Monsters and zombie looking people in ALAN WAKE.

Anybody really pissed off about this

I thought it looked great, along with the narration. I was kinda disappointed that they didn't show Mass Effect 2.

Signed and stamped. As a horror fan, this generation has been extremely dicey when it came to horror games. Long standing franchises traded their survival boots in for TPS action, while old franchises didn't live up to their full potential. Now, with Alan Wake, or atleast what we've seen of it, the enemies are largely uninspired and the gameplay doesn't seem all that great. Color me unimpressed.

What did you expect a Racing game or Mario clone. I bet you think Heavy Rain is going to be a click adventure. :|

Agree. AW was my most anticipated game. This 3rd person shooter demo was horrible though. It just killed my heart seeing him with the shotgun on some Resident Evil crap.

Nope, Alan Wake impressed me, and with a great dev behind it, it probably won't fail.

EA Press Conference? Or Behind closed doors maybe?

Or on Sony's conference tomorrow? There's no reason for closed doors when the teaser already out, and if it was exclusive M$ would have asked them to go there.

On topic, I still love the atmosphere of the game but the actual gameplay isn't really that hot. Maybe be why they never showed it till now.

I have been extremely skeptical of this game, but finally seeing some gameplay has me excited for it yet again. Sucks it is a year away, but it is looking pretty good to me.

Well, it's like they saw what Quantic Dream was doing with Heavy Rain, decided that they couldn't match that and went with a Silent Hill/Resident Evil approach instead.

Listen I am not saying it looked terrible or the "gameplay" was not working as intended.

If they said all along it was gonna be a silent hill type game then i would be fine with it becaouse I like it.

But every damn impression they gave was a detective game and a deep story.

and all we got is a monster/zombie third person shooter :(

i thought it looked good, liked the narrative effectively reading the book was a nice touch, hopefully it'll have something different like some ball busting puzzles etc but why would you show that at E3? they were always going to show shooting bits rather than possibly slower moments that hopefully set it apart

Let me put it this way:

The old demo was pure adventure, the new demo is pure action - it will be a mix of both - I assure you - they just had to show a lot of fast apced action for the crowd in order to keep everyone's attention I guess...

The part I wasn't to keen on, was the moment when the camera zoomed in on the shadow creature like a light hearted console RPG game...

Alan Wake looks amazing and you haven't seen anything else of it. They want to get attention, showing puzzles, psycholigal horror is not what you do in a demo. That's why you don't see any story or anything in a E3 demo...

I'm sure there are more in the whole game, I mean when first Bioshock looks like average FPS with magic, but once you finish it, you'd realize it's not.

Alan Wake looked good. But I wanna know more about the story. is there more info about this game? From what i know, Alan's wife is missing and he has to find her, and that he is a sc-fi/horror/mystery writer. But i have a theory, maybe it is called Alan WAKE because the Alan is in a coma, and all this stuff going on is all in his head. Since in the trailer, a female (assuming his wife) is telling him to "Wake UP". what do you guys think? his in a coma too?
