One of the most annoying factors of being a games journalist is you often see gameplay demos or videos we can't share with the punters, as was the case with E3 this year and Alan Wake. The gameplay demo we sat through was controlled and presented in awesome fashion by the passionate team at Remedy, and even in words it's difficult to describe the game, which was shown to us behind closed doors.

Today, however, that exact same demo has been captured in developer diary form (though shortened), which we're more than happy to point you in the direction of. This is an incredible looking game, and just another to add to the 2009 'must-haves' (that list is ever-growing).

Check out the diary right here on AusGamers.

This looks fantastic, I thought it had been lost in development hell and we weren't ever going to see it, but it looks like its going to be worth the wait.

Is there more you're allowed to reveal then? It seems like its a psycho surviver thriller?

Edit: Wanted to remove the word "just" between "its" and "a". Didn't want to give the impression that I'm not expecting it to be good, or its a rip off or something. I just got the impression that it had the suspense and thrill that silent hill seemed to have had with a very different story.

It's more of a mystery than a survival-horror, and has a far more in-depth and tangible story. There are, of course, elements of horror ala Resident Evil, Silent Hill etc, but there's a stronger focus on finding out exactly what's going on as opposed to just surviving... it also has a completely different type of presentation, being served up in episodic form as if it were a weekly television series (though I have no idea why they've gone that route)...

As soon as we know more though, you'll be the first to know

Wow gay 360 only. It looked awesome but the thought of using an analogue thing for aiming makes it look s***.
