Developer Remedy is now closing in on four years since it first revealed its plans for Alan Wake and since then little to no info or media has been released (although the developer did release a new trailer and screenshots last October). Now a new YouTube video has been released which supposedly shows off actual gameplay from the long awaited thriller-action title.

The video supposedly comes from an upcoming GDC 2009 presentation and is taken via the patent-pending "Shaky Cam" off a monitor. So the quality of the footage is, well, bleh. It doesn't help that the footage itself is on the boring side with the player character simply walking through a forest area and ending up at a lake-side shed. One interesting thing is that the viewpoint is third-person, which is something that the developers haven't talked about. Again, take this footage with a big grain of...well, you know.

Update: Looks like we and other web sites got suckered into this one (but we were also skeptical this was the real deal anyway). Videogaming247.com has posted word from Remedy that this footage is not from Alan Wake. In fact it comes from a canceled game from UK based Kuju called Redwood Falls according to this NEOGaf post.
