Finnish magazine Pelaaja has published an image lifted off the upcoming Alan Wake trailer. It is claimed that this is a screenshot of real in-engine stuff, and if so, it looks very impressive.

Story is that this trailer should be available soon - it's supposed to be attached to the big screen premiere of Max Payne here in Finland (premiering on 17th of October), and I'd imagine it would show up online soon after that.

We've asked Remedy for a confirmation about their plans with the trailer, but no official word yet.

	Drakemoor 2008-10-03 #1 really looking forward to this, if it carries any of the traits of the max payne series i'll be hooked. Also if that is real DoF in that shot consider me impressed, i might have a short memory or just blind but thats the first in game DoF with an actual aperture effect
	up_the_ante 2008-10-03 #2 Not much you can deduce from that screen shot....
	Dibrom 2008-10-03 #3 I hope they fix his block arm syndrome before release.
	Drakemoor 2008-10-03 #4 whats block arm syndrome?

	Unregistered 2008-10-05 #6 Very impressive? The whole picture is full of blur, how can that be impressive?
	Unregistered 2008-10-05 #7 It's called depth of field, not 'blur' - the impressive part is the lighting: look closely at Wake's clothing.
	Unregistered 2008-10-05 #8 Awesome, can't wait for the trailer!
	folville 2008-10-05 #9 I'm just amazed this isn't out yet. I remember reading about it here literally years ago, but if it looks like this all the way through, then perhaps it will have been worth the wait.
	JunkieXcel 2008-10-05 #10 Thank God they got rid of that scarf.
	Unregistered 2008-10-18 #11 Hmm, remember Diakatana? how long did we have to wait until that was released? Years & years of hype and when it was finally released it sucked really badly and nobody bought it, even the pirates shunned it. I hope theses dudes learnt a lesson from the iD software disaster.

Hmm, remember Max Payne? how long did we have to wait until that was released? Years & years of hype and when it was finally released it was pretty damn good. I hope you "learnt" a lesson.

Ion Storm not Id. And like Dibrom said Remedy has made good every time. They are a small developer for one thing, so it takes a little longer, but they make sure they get it right. Screwed up some things in production and were smart enough to go back to the drawing board. Have a little faith.
	Unregistered 2008-10-18 #14 Sorry, yeah...Ion Storm were the developers. iD created the (Quake?)engine
	Unregistered 2008-10-18 #15 Dibram, you are correct! Max Payne was an excellent game....even if he did have "block arm syndrome".......I think you will find that was caused by the limitations of the GFX cards that were in use when it was developed.....a low polygon count by todays standards. I think you will find that "block arm syndrome" will not be present in Alan Wake.
