Ive been visiting numerous others forums and ive been seening alot attention on Alan Wakes visuals lately. Fanboys aside there is no denying this game lookings amazing. While they are tough to compare since one is bright jungle setting, the other is dark forest setting id still have to give the edge to U2.. But then again AW isnt out yet. AW lighting is out of this world though... Whats you guys take...?

The PC version would have looked better than UC2 but since it got cancelled or suspended the 360 version is not going to come close to UC2.

I agree the PC version probably would have. Heck even if they would have had it an Xbox exclusive from the start it could have been on par, but now i doubt it will look as good.

Since people say KZ2 doesn't look better than Uncharted 2 just because it isn't bright and colorful, then how can Alan Wake be considered better? lol

I honestly think SC Conviction (from what has been shown in its unreleased and incomplete form) and both RE5 and GeOW2 look better than what has been shown for Alan Wake. Uncharted 2 looks a bit better than those games so no Alan Wake does not look better than Uncharted 2 (yet if at all).

if alanwake was still a dx10 vista exclusive and still had an open world it would defiantly beat uncharted 2. But what ever the game still looks very nice i hope its only a timed exclusive and they eventually port it to the pc.

Who care's if it looks better than U2 and also why does it need to? We know it looks damn good already. So lets hype the game!

We have only really seen a couple scenes of Alan wake, and it isn't always during the night, their are also day segments that make up a large part of the game, as well as the game is open world, while uncharted is linear.

Meh I haven't seen anything that puts it above KZ2 let alone Uncharted 2. Maybe when the PC version finally comes out it will be better looking technically.

No, it's a mix. It's more linear levels during the night, but during the day the levels are more opened up. Anyway, imo both Alan Wake and Conviction challenge Uncharted 2.

AW WAS open world, now it's linear.

AW is still open world, its just the night sequences that are linear due to story reasons, but the game is still being built on an open world engine, and has open world sequences, you can even travel to places you know your going to be at night and leave supplies for you a head of time according to previews.

Most Uncharted 2 fans don't know anything about graphics.

They often mistake elements of it's art direction for technical achievements. They rely on still images and base their conclusion on whats more appealing to the eye. That is not how you compare graphics. Maybe art styIe, but not graphics. That being said, I don't think Uncharted 2's engine is capable of running AW's world without taking a performance hit. In other words, it wasn't built for AW's gameplay.

I would agree with this but I wouldn't just point out that its only the Uncharted 2 fan base, but a large portion of system wars following this train of thought. Which became apparent when people continued to say MGS4 was a graphical masterpiece after information was released showing that the game was natively below a HD resoultion a sub 30 FPS average frame rate, low poly-count characters, etc..

spot on, even if it did look better, the cows will deny it until they are blue in the face, remember,only PS3 exclusives are alowwed to be graphics kings in SW, even though the 360 had the first graphics king of this gen

I think it looks as good as Uncharted 2, but I feel its a more impressive achievement graphically given AW's scale and open-end.

They look similar, but it's less linear then UC2. UC2 looked best during set peices for obvious reasons. I doubt AW will have as much set peices, and they won't be on UC2's level.

Still, i'd say as a whole the games on par with UC2

no this game doesnt even get close enough to warrant a page......lemmings had a graphics masterpiece when no other next gen system was out so failure on your part. Even gamespot agrees......the best looking this gen belongs to ps3 and with GT5, GOW3,Heavy rain that isnt going to change this year......so maybe your arguments would work on another site that didnt give ps3 two years running game of the year.........peace

This is silly, only once we have seen the full polished game then we can cast judgement. I think it might be close looking at that screen shot that Panosola posted but i think Uncharted 2 will just be that little bit better.

Why do people/lems always say PS3 fans "cower" or "hide" behind things? it's so juvenile. Someone has an opinion so they're automatically hiding? right.

The graphics king becomes obvious when gaming sites start giving best graphics awards up and down to a game like it happened to UC2. The people at E3 aren't cows they just chose the game with the best graphics which happened to be UC2. This year we have to see, maybe they'll choose Alan Wake but I doubt it.

From what I've seen it's certainly worth contending for 2nd place (console gfx king) but we haven't seen anything on the final build yet except screenshots (lighting looks great though). Wait 'til we see more about it before making a case.
