Read the thread carefully. They didn't kept the open world. This thread is a lie. I already made a post to notify the moderators but they haven't responded yet.It depends on how you interpret "open world" honestly.
It is no longer a trueopen world in the vein of Grand Theft Auto...
It IS however free-roaming and sandbox for a certain portion of the game.

You're correct about the sandbox part- Alan Wake was originally planned to be an open world game with real-time night and day cycles. However, during development, Remedy decided that in order to ensure they implement the best possible methods of storytelling, the game ought to be presented in a linear fashion to keep the plot moving at a reasonable pace.
That having been said, Alan Wake is now a fair bit more linear, most notably during night missions where the player will be given an objective to complete with limited manoeuvrability to maintain the thrilling flow of the game. During the day, however, the player will be given more reign to openly explore Bright Falls and interact with the many NPCs. Also, as the player progresses through the game, more areas will be unlocked that previously could not be accessed.
I hope that answered your question?

Just as people have been saying for the ENTIRE THREAD.So PLEASE, just stop trying to bash the game when you don't have a clue.
You can move freely around Bright Falls and the surrounding nature without any urgency. There is much to explore in the huge environment and by talking to the residents you might discover unexpected secrets. "However, Alan Wake isn't a Bioware RPG" Järvilehto clarifies. "The storytelling doesn't advance if the player wonders aimlessly around the woods.""Driving is an integral part of the game" - Petri JärvilehtoAlan Wake is a free-roaming game, will there be parts of the map to unlock? "We'll open more of the game world as the game progresses. The area is so large, that we want the players to become familiar with a smaller subset of the world, before we introduce new locations and new areas." - Sam Lake Are there alternate methods to completing the missions?"The basic idea with the free-roaming world is that we give the player goals, and then the player can go about achieving those goals in the way he chooses." - Sam LakeThis is all false/outaded information and has been edited from the Alan Wake FAQ, which the TC used as a source. The game will have certain freedoms during the day, but it is not open world as the TC and you claim.
