If the game had come out before Uncharted 2, I think people would have been blown away by certain parts (like being inside of a cabin as it gets destroyed by a bulldozer or the part on top of that dam). Since U2 (and even Gears of War 2) did similar things, the impact of Alan Wake was diminished. Too bad. From what I understand, AW was ready for release way before its suicide launch against Red Dead Redemption.
