I say 8.0. For some reason I was expecting a bit more. And it appears the game may have far too many scripted events to interupt gameplay.

I was never ever hyped for it untill the E3 footage. People were hyped for no reason IMO. But after seeing it I know it'll get a AAA and i'll be picking it up the very first day.

I say AA. I don't know something about the demo during the conference didn't feel right. Maybe it just had too much gun from what I first expected it to have. But then again thats just one segment of the game. But 8.5-9.0 is what I expect.

I'm embarrassed that it's so similar to Silent Hill and that it ended up being a survival horror game since none of the teasers suggested the gameplay would be anything like this. The plot also didn't capture my rapt attention....neither did the enemy designs. The gameplay may be interesting, and the situational horror seems effective, which may be enough to make it one of the better games of the year. I'm expecting a very strong AA.

The team behind it, Remedy Entertainment, was responsible for the critically acclaimed Max Payne series (two of the best action games ever made). Their writer, Sam Lake, is one of the best in the industry. He is writing Alan Wake as well, so we know the script will be top notch.

If crap like Resistance 2 and inFamous can get AAA so can something brilliant like Alan Wake.

Oh, and calm down cows, I love inFamous. =)

AA or AAA doesn't really matter to me though I'm still picking up the game. As long as it doesn't come out like Silent Hill Homecoming and RE5 (not a bad game just not a true horror title).

AA, I never saw what made lemmings hype this game really. Messiahbolical-

So if you hype a game for a particular platform, you are automatically a fanboy?

Obviously you're the fanboy if thats the way you think.

I'm super hyped for New Super Mario Bros. Wii.... so I guess I'm a sheep...?

But wait, I'm really hyped for Alan Wake.... so I'm a Lemming? No wait, I'm gonna get it for PC... so I guess I'm a Hermit now? right?

Oh... but I really want Halo ODST & SHadow Complex...... Oh, I'm a Lemming now, I guess. :roll:

I'd say AAA. The developers seem to love what they're doing with it and seem determined to make it shine.

With that being said, I'm still more excited for Heavy Rain, even if it looks more likely to fall under the AA category.

i have a hard time seeing gamepot give this less than a 9. They've been hyping it forever. Sam Lake will probably commit suicide if it doesn't. He looks like he has actually been living in the dark developing this game.

Even though I'm hyped and I thought it looked excellent, plus Remedy and Sam Lake provide one hell of an experience, I'm afraid that the light may be a bit annoying and frustrating like the fire in Alone In The Dark, so therefore I say AA. God, I hope it's AAA, though. Either way it's still a buy.

AAA

I am sort of dissapointed with what I saw tho... Too much action, not enough tension (might just be that part of the game, but still)

The story is one I think is awesome, and somehow reminds me of "in the mouth of madness" which is a very good take on horror.

I thought that it would overall be a mix of in the mouth of madness and twinpeaks, I did know that there would be serious supernatural things in the game, but I just hoped they would be fewer, and harder to kill...

and I did not care a whole lot for the light mechanic, the rest looks good.

What does Ratchet have to do with Alan Wake? :?

I'm expecting AAA here, since I know Remedy will deliver.

it seems like alan wake will be a memorable and exciting experience for the interesting premise and story telling, but a very unspectacular game. To be fair, survival horror tends to be unspectacular, so maybe, 8.0-ish? The music and sound is great, but the actual events aren't scary or suspenseful really from the trailer shown.
