ALAN WAKE
Alan is a bestselling writer, who has been struggling to write anything for two years due to a writer's block.
His wife, Alice, brings him to Bright Falls to recover his creative flow.

When Alice vanishes without a trace, Alan finds himself trapped in a nightmare. Word by word, his latest
work, a thriller he can't even remember writing, is coming true before his eyes. He somehow knows it's
his story without any memory of writing it.

BARRY WHEELER
Barry Wheeler is Alan Wake's childhood friend and also his literary agent. He is a very typical New Yorker,
high-strung and high-powered. Barry suffers from allergies, including dust, grass, pollen, and small towns.
However, Barry is a good friend and despite his allergies and his protests he travels to Bright Falls when
he senses that Alan Wake needs him.​

Light plays a significant role in gameplay and strategy. The enemies, called the Taken, are sensitive to light, encouraging the player to take advantage of
environment light sources and placing significant emphasis on the flashlight as a primary weapon. Players also have the ability to set traps which illuminate
when triggered, either damaging or temporarily immobilizing an enemy.​

Nice looking thread, Bruce.

I am most excited about the commentary. I love commentary in games.

Most anticipated game of the year.

Hoping Amazon starts sending out copies of the game next week. Maybe move down the release date in the U.S. to coincide with when it gets released in Europe.

Just magic wand the white background in your assets and delete it. Save it out as a png that maintains transparency.

Edit: And you did it as soon as I posted, haha. Nice OP Bruce.

I'm hoping for this too. I've never understood the reasoning behind "But we market the game as being available on a certain date." That's great and all, but if it is sitting in backrooms right now, you could sell copies NOW and still have it available on the 18th for people that see the marketing.

Long story short...I want it now!

Don't even own a 360 but BruceLeeRoy official threads are always so awesome! Game looks amazing also. Looks like a spiritual successor to Silent Hill.
 
I'm pretty much 70/30 on buying/renting this game now. I feel like it depends on how I do on my finals and how greedy I'm willing to be as a reward.
