OT: Xbox game where a flashlight is a weapon!!

[hyperloop]

How cool is that???? I read about this up and comin Xbox 360 game where the character uses a FLASHLIGHT to dispatch enemies!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Wake - read the bit under 'Gameplay' where they say the most useful weapon in the game is the FLASHLIGHT

Sad thing is that game has been in production for years!

And they keep pushing back the release date by, well... years!

Speaking of flashlights in video games, Obscure also used flashlights to keep the whatevertheywere away.

I predict we as flashaholics will hate this game and get very frustrated with it

1. NO one of us here would only carry one light if light was the most useful weapon.
2. We know that flashlights dont recharge on thier own when you turn them off
3. We would want to modify that light in the game to our own specifications.

but in all seriousness, it looks fun! and uber scary...

here is some gameplay footage (watch it in HD to get a true idea of what it will look like)

it looks abit odd how the center of vision is lined up with what looks like somewhere in front of the flashlight.. but still looks cool

Wow, there has to be the same light in half of the screen shots. I know that if this really happened, we would turn on all of our lights and illuminate every square foot on earth. It is sad that he only has a stock mag. i know that we all would be rockin HID's, MC-E's, mag hot-wires, everything. Looks like a good game however.
