As you play through the game you find pages from your book, pages which include scenarios that have a nasty habit of coming true. The town has been taken over by a dark force that has taken control of its inhabitants. They seem almost invulnerable to gun fire but not to light. So your torch is more use than your pistol making use of light will play a major part in the game.
All sounds very confusing and dull so why are we so intrigued?. Well its a welcome break from the usual type of game we have come to expect these days with huge cinematic cut scene but ones that often lack a good old fashion decent story. As the lines become increasingly blurred between the movie and gaming worlds, Alan Wake sets out to go one step further by bringing books into the equation too. The game will have a very strong narrative and will be paced more like a TV series than a block buster movie. So expect lots of suspense and adrenaline pumping moments.
As you can see from the screen shots and videos this is an incredibly impressive looking game and very intriguing. No doubt it will be held up against Heavy Rain but we think they are very separate games. Roll on May. |
