Its doubtful it'll go the same way as Duke Nukem, It's just in development. Maybe in another 8 years i'll start worrying 
But just think, Final Fantasy 13 on PS3 is definately coming, And that's been in development the lifetime of the console.

they have been making Alan Wake for 5 years now havnt they?
Something like that, Im sure I remember them saying it was ment to be the 1st Directx 9 game for the PC to show off its special effects....and years on still no release for PC or consoles.
Like with Duke, I have lost interest. I don't see the point in people announcing games when they have years of development left. I personally wish developers would keep quiet about things until they were about 6 months from being released.
Too much can go wrong in a few years and games can get dropped. Happened plenty of times.

People are just impatient. You know its coming, Just wait.
yes, Duke Nukem fell apart, So all of a sudden all games that take more than a year or 2 to complete are being painted with the same brush?

First Direct x9 game? So Alan Wake was supposed to be out in 2002?
Alan Wake will come, other games have been in development just as long, I think work on Killzone 2 started in 2004.

E32009 Alan Wake Trailer (HD)
still no real info :/ and a while to wait yet.
Availability: Spring 2010
Product Overview:
Bringing a new style of storytelling to Xbox 360, "Alan Wake" is a psychological action thriller from Remedy, the renowned developers of the successful "Max Payne" series. In this dynamic new title exclusively for Xbox 360, players assume the role of Alan Wake, a best-selling suspense author suffering from writer's block, who escapes to a small town only to experience the mysterious disappearance of his fiancée.
Set in the deceptively idyllic town of Bright Falls, Wash., "Alan Wake" immerses players in an intense and expansive cinematic world that enables players to explore the hyper-realistic and interactive environments. "Alan Wake" is mission-based with a deeply engaging and suspenseful storyline unveiling new twists and profound character revelations at every turn.
Players will unravel the riveting plot through multilayered character interactions, unique problem-solving and intense combat against terrifying enemies. In this nightmarish world, where fantasy and reality collide, Alan Wake must use a variety of weapons to survive, including his most powerful ally against the darkness — light itself.
Features:
* Intense psychological thriller. "Alan Wake" delivers a deeply psychological and finely crafted plot that raises the bar for storytelling in video games. The riveting story of "Alan Wake" is propelled by a movie-like atmosphere, compelling situations, memorable characters and real-time pacing. Remedy has a record of creating and developing games with unique cinematic presentation and exceptionally high production values.
* Light as a combat element. As Wake journeys deeper into the mystery of Bright Falls, the shadows close in around him. When darkness descends, light becomes his only ally as he fights his way to daybreak. . This poses a severe problem for Alan Wake since his enemies seemingly gain strength from the shadows, and before long, light itself becomes his greatest ally. Players must skillfully combine their use of light with more conventional weapons to stand a chance.
* Realistic, interactive environment. Set in the town of Bright Falls, the hyper-detailed environments of the Pacific Northwest play an important role; even the change in daylight and weather will profoundly affect the characters and enemies in "Alan Wake." The game's advanced rendering engine provides amazingly realistic environments that bring this world to detailed life — from the lush forest of evergreen trees to the quaint small-town buildings and streets. The world of "Alan Wake" is alive and real.
* Episodic narrative. The mission-based structure of "Alan Wake" creates an episodic narrative similar to a deeply structured dramatic television series, such as Twin Peak and X-Files. As the episodes progress, gameplay will evolve to introduce new elements and characters, escalating the level of threat and action in the game.

Great links, thanks. I've also been keeping a close eye on this for the past few years.
Could be a great title - I wait with baited breath

You mean DirectX 10
Still, I'm certainly looking forward to Alan Wake - if it lives up to the videos they've released for it over the years I'm sure it'll be fantastic.
