Alan Wake reemerges at E3
News - Survival horror, done right?
Highly cinematic, plot-focussed in-game footage from Xbox 360 exclusive Alan Wake has been unveiled at this year's E3 show; Remedy's Sam Lake taking to the stage to re-introduce the game last aired over two years ago.
A tense, third-person thriller looks to be on the cards, complete with elements of open-world freedom, players stepping into the shoes of a writer who's wife goes missing while they holiday in a remote rural town.
Super-natural elements abound in a game that looks to be rich with atmosphere - an orchestral score combining with lighting and a gradually evolving plot.
Alan Wake will be released in Spring 2010, Remedy reveal today. Possible contender for game of the show this writer would argue.
