Remember Max Payne? Yes, the same game that revolutionized the action genre with bullet time and all that? Well unfortunately, we still don’t know if we’ll ever get a Max Payne 3, but the game’s developer, Remedy has been busy working on a survival horror game called Alan Wake, and if official US Xbox magazine, OXM is to be believed, you’ll have to wait till 2008 for a glimpse of the action. In case you have no clue as to what this game’s about, read this, and then feel bad that it’s been delayed:
_Set in the deceptively idyllic town of Bright Falls, Alan Wake immerses players in an intense and expansive cinematic world that enables players to roam freely in hyper-realistic, dynamic and interactive environments. “Alan Wake” is mission-based with a deeply engaging and suspenseful story line unveiling new twists and profound character revelations at every turn. Players will unravel the riveting plot through multilayered character interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat against terrifying enemies. In this nightmarish world, Alan Wake must use a variety of weapons to survive, including his most powerful ally against the creatures of darkness — light itself.
