Alan Wake, especially taking all these delays in the development process into account, is destined to be yet another 360 midcarder like Ninja Gaiden II or Too Human at best.

 

 

Alan Wake is being developed by 30 people. The reason it is taking so long is because Remedy wants to make sure they are satisfied with every component. Comparing it to Too Human is insulting.

 

      It was supposed to be out in January of 2007.

No, it wasn't. Remedy is world famous for "When it's done." They have NEVER announced a release date themselves. Any release dates announced are either fake, rumors, or wild guesses. The official Alan Wake FAQ says the same thing now as it did 2 years ago, "When It's Done."

 

     IGN listed its release date as January 12, 2007, for a long time.  Comparing it to Too Human isn't insulting as both Too Human (and Ninja Gaiden II to a lesser extent) is a prime example of what happens when someone says something is going to be the next big thing on xbox.  90% of such games since 2001 have turned out to be midcarders ie. games with aggregate review scores in the low to mid 80's .
