New ALAN WAKE Game: First Screenshot

A first screenshot look for the new Alan Wake game has turned up online ahead of the Video Game Awards show on Spike TV, MTV2 and Spike.com at 8pm EST on December 10th where a full reveal is coming. Developers Remedy have promised a new, fully standalone and self containing experience for Microsoft Xbox Live Arcade and the image above sure looks interesting! The character model looks impressive and the graphics have had an upgrade but the real selling point of the Alan Wake series is the story and let's hope this new title remembers that. The decision to take the franchise into a download arcade game was because of Alan Wake's less then stellar selling numbers and although it's a bit of a shame that it's only going to be available on that format without a console version, at least we are getting another Alan Wake follow-up after all.
