I didn't say u can't do 4xMSAA ...i said u have to tile (wich is a big hit in general performance), but alan wake doesn't have 4x multi sampling it's a temporal AA, that's why they only mention "AA" and not clearly MSAA. Anyway it would no way be the first game with such IQ as u claim it is.
And yes they already admit, the engine has tearing "While playing Alan Wake on a Xbox 360, if the game framerate drops below 30 FPS we resort to screen tearing (same idea as Gears of War uses)"
Tearing is a framerate issue, always, vbl desynchronized.
