Re: Alan Wake
I'm still not convinced. I'll wait for impressions from more reputable sources before I decide whether or not to buy this. I mean, L&O is a former Canadian, for cripe's sake!

Once a Canuck, always a Canuck is the truth.
As far as I know, this is the first preview on the web...if you guys want to help spread the word I wouldn't be disappointed.

Re: Alan Wake
I have this preordered and am pretty jazzed for it, but I hope they fix the screen tearing mentioned by L&O. That shit drove me nuts on Darksiders, almost to the point where I stopped playing the game.

Re: Alan Wake
I think I may have found a workaround to prevent that. Apparently, the issue stems from setting the 360 to 1080p when the game itself is NOT 1080p... I am going to set it down to 720 and see if that removes the tearing.

Re: Alan Wake
Not sure if this was already mentioned, sorry if it's a repost : At Best Buy, you can preorder the game for $5 down. Not a big deal usually, but here the preorder comes with a trio of download codes which net you an avatar I Am A Wake shirt (male or female) and a very nice premium Bright Falls theme. Like all Best Buy game preorders, it's fully refundable, with reciept only, after the game comes out (not that I would ever encourage such behavior; just nice to know if by some chance one finds a better deal elsewhere).

Re: Alan Wake
are those videos going to be included with any edition of the game? LE?
I checked Amazon and it doesn't mention anything. I think read somewhere about it, but I can't remember where.

Re: Alan Wake
The game just keeps getting better. Put aside any doubts you had folks, the long development time seems to be worth it.
Also - I changed my video out settings from 1080i to 720p last night (for some reason, my 1080p setting is greyed out...even though my receiver AND TV handle it) - and the screen tearing stopped happening. I need to play more to make sure it really happened, but making the console not have to upscale seems to lessen the issue.

Glad to hear it's living up to the hype. Between this, Red Dead Redemption, 3D Dot Game Heroes, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Modnation Racers, May's going to be a hell of a month.

Re: Alan Wake
I'd like the LE as well, but since Amazon isn't giving a $10 credit on the LE (yet), it works out to be a $30 difference in price, and that's too much $$ for the extra content I'd be getting.
