Rendering at 960x540p + AAx4 means that the game is actually rendered at 3840x2160.

Please Selnor, dont discuss things you know nothing about, Ive just listed a few games that render with 4xMSAA, even though you alan wake is the only game that does it.
And now the above incorrect statement.
1. What you're implying is bruteforce supersampling, where the whole image is rendered at a larger resolution and downsampled
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersampling
alan wake uses MSAA, like most games
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multisample_anti-aliasing
The reason games use this instead of true supersampling is, its quicker it does look worse though
2. AAx4 equals 4x the samples for each final pixel.
960x540=518400 samples
3480x2160 =7516800 samples
That is 3480x2160 = 16x the number of samples that 960x540 has

Oh yes alan wake does look very good, one of the best looking games this generation
