The video was interesting enough to peak my interest into looking for more
info. The first stop was the web link posted at the end of the video.

The game is described as a "Physcological Action Thriller." I wonder if
this means Resident Evil type game? Plus some of the in-game pictures at
the site look similar to the video footage.
"...Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller, a unique new take in the
world of gaming. The game is set in an idyllic all-American small town and
its surroundings in the state of Washington. Alan Wake, the game's
protagonist, is a bestselling horror writer, who writes a novel about his
darkest nightmares. In the game, those nightmares come true. As with
Remedy's previous games, story and atmosphere are fundamental elements.

"Thermoptic: Max Payne's combat system with the third person view with
bullettime dodges was something new and revolutionizing, and gave the
players a new way to experience the game. I would like to know more about
the combat system in Alan Wake, and what the character will be able to
perform? And will there be something new that we haven't seen in a game
before?
PJ: Yes, we believe that our approach with Alan Wake will provide the
players with a new take with the combat style and gameplay. We're not
revealing any details yet though. "
