New Alan Wake interview reveals TV show structure

It's been over three years since the first announcement about Alan Wake, the action-adventure thriller game from developer Remedy. You would think that they would have a lot to say about the game by now but a new Q&A over at 1Up.com with its writer Sam Lake says little that is new about the title

Lake states, "Alan Wake remains true to the original vision of the game, but we are still fine-tuning different elements, making sure that this will be a best possible realization of that vision." He does say that the game is structured like a season 1 DVD of a TV show with separate episodes, cliffhanger endings and a supporting cast around the title character. We can expect to see a new trailer for the game in the next few days as Remedy created a new one for the Finnish theatrical release of the Max Payne movie.

Because we all know how well it worked for Alone in the Dark. I guess I don't really care about the structure either way what I want to know about Alan Wake is the GAMEPLAY! I find it kind of funny that there is so much hype around a game that we don't even know the mechanics of. This may wind up being a Dragon's Lair style hit the button at the right time game a la Indigo Prophecy for all we know. I'm hoping it will be a traditional adventure though I'm more expecting a RE4 esq over the shoulder cam w/ a plodding pace and a pretty heavy combat focus. In any event, despite Remedy's solid background this title has plenty of room to go sour and until I see evidence as to why I should, I'm not going to get my hopes up.
