I am going to make an unpopular prediction. This game is going to be far less then people think it will be.

This game has been in development for.. what, 5 years now? History has shown that the longer it takes to bring a game to market, the worse the final product is.

Well, unless your Blizzard.

Which history are you talking about? Theres a saying of which the jist is that a delayed game can eventually be good.

Most don't come to market. A game can be delayed to make it better (most are), but when games take so long, that the industry evolves during development, it's hard to release what you envisioned 6+ years ago in a new market, without it feeling outdated.

The gaming industry just moves to fast. It could end up great, but the odds are against it.

The game design as seen in Alan Wake is probably about 3 years old. The gameplay mechanics have changed from an open world style to a more linear action adventure and theres hardly any movement in the genre unlike say FPS games so being perhaps a year late to the punch really doesn't hurt so much, what hurts more is apathy about tis eventual release.
