Alan Wake is the NEW Graphics King (56K)

[QUOTE="bungie93"]You're telling me that the screenshots taken by me are not at the settings I claim to be, while offering no proof to refute my claim? If you have played Crysis, you will know that those are taken with very high settings and that Crysis destroys Alan Wake in graphics. horrowhip

....

If you took those on Very High then you take absolute crap screenshot.

Because I could find better scenes within 10 seconds of loading a map up.

As far as it "destroying Alan Wake in graphics"...

How can you tell? Because the ONE SINGLE PART of the ENTIRE screenshot that is CLEARLY VISIBLE is the JACKET. And only the JACKET.

Seriously people Shut up until the trailer comes out. Because this shot is nothing more than a TEASER and a shot showing off the MOOD.

There are too many post processing effects on the shot to actually tell anything concrete about the game's graphics. The Film Grain, Glare, Depth of Field and whatever other effects they have thrown in distort his face and prevent an active critique of the detail there to even be PLAUSIBLE.

Get off your high horse and admit one thing. The game has the potential to possibly beat Crysis graphically if you look at the ONE SINGLE thing in the screenshot that is clearly visible. That jacket is extremely well modeled and extremely detailed. I would however BET money that they didn't put all the resources into the jacket. So add 2+2 together? What are you getting? Because your comments right now make me thing your suck at math and are getting 10... The answer is 4, and the overall graphics of the game must be great.

Crysis looks better than Alan Wake, and I think the vast majority of people on this forum will agree with me.

[QUOTE="SpruceCaboose"]Alan Wake is vaporware as far as I am concerned.SpruceCaboose

:roll:

Well it is. Its been in development forever, there is very little known about it, and it certainly is not minutes away from releasing. Its like Duke Nukem Forever, but even Duke is more likely to come out first.

Really? So a game announced in 2005(yet was shown in June 2006) that was little more than a proof of concept at that point goes SILENT(like Remedy does for all their games) for 2 years and it is suddenly Vaporware?

Remedy has ALWAYS done this.

Look back at their previous games. Max Payne was a game that was in development for a long time.

They started really showing the game in May 2001... The game was gold by July 2001....

That is 3 months. They had show little tidbits here and there before that dropping screens and maybe putting out a teaser but not much was done before that...

3 months from when they broke their silence to it going gold.

Now... Max Payne 2.

Announced at E3 2002. Then silence preview wise until like August 2003. Then it went gold in October 2003. Again, 3 months from them breaking silence to them releasing the game....

That is how Remedy works.

They announce a game, show it briefly and then go silent until they are approaching release.

I bet Q2-Q3 2009 is a likely release for Alan Wake. Perhaps Q4 though.

lol, if you want to get into that stuff, almost nothing is destroyable in crysis. beyond shooting trees down, blowing up crates and barrels, and knocking over sheet metal on a few houses, there is nothing destructable. A lot of houses and buildings in crysis are indestructable. if you want to go that way, red faction 3 is better than crysis because everything can be destroyed.

When it comes out, I will no longer consider it vaporware. Until then, I place it in that category. You can think of it however you like.

[QUOTE="cobrax75"]Really, I dont think their is really anything impresive about that picture...I have seen better character models...certainly in games like Crysis.DragonfireXZ95

Huh? Did you see the jacket? Because if you haven't, you really need to see the jacket.

There's a jacket in that pic? All I see are coats. :P

Dude, I agree with you. But these types of threads never go anywhere really.

It seems lemmings are now hyping the Jacket:Pthelastguy

lol.. so true..

reminds me of when ps3 fans used to hype solid snake's mustache.. :P

So is this game ever coming out because they have been talking about it for 4 years.wooooode

Actually, 3 years. 4 years would be Killzone 2

I wonder if the Jacket has more fibers then a tree in fable 2 has leaves. lol.EVOLV3
