Well I will have to say, after watching the below trailer, I am wishy washy on Alan Wake. It looks almost like a Silent Hill clone. At least from this trailer. When you watch it, if it isn't already playing on your screen, take a good look. Guy goes to a quiet town. Car accident happens. Crazy shit starts to happen from there. Even the visuals and character designs look close to Silent Hill. I mean hells, it even has day and night cycles.
Maybe it is just me. If it was dubbed a Silent Hill clone or something alike, I'd be more settled with my thoughts, but it really seems like this episodic game is just going to be too close to The Hill for me. We'll see I guess.
