And no, Alan Wake don't need a quad core. Even the PC version will run fine on 2 CPU cores.
I recall they ran the demo on a PC with two Nvidia 8800GTX GPUs (and a Quad core CPU of course) at the showing.

 

 

It needs at least 3 on a PC. They say in this very video what they use each core for. And then state that the game would not run and look this good if it was not for multiple cores. The game designers have designed the game so that if it was on less cores they would need 2 completely different games. Becasue they cant take any of the stuff out because it's all relevant to the gameplay.

1 core for physics

1 core for dynamic lighting night and cycle.

1 core which prepares all the information for the GPU.

1 core to run the rest of the games operations.
