Remedy respond to Leaked footage. NO Screen tearing in Alan Wake.

^AA is more critical for the image quality than in RE5, because they use alpha-to-coverage on all that foliage. Drop the AA and you're in for a lot of noise and shimmering. Again, it's probably more pleasant to the eye to just fall back on a little screen tearing, given the game setting and style.
