>2 people voted terrible

seriously? it was put there for a joke

HaloinventedFPS

Well, I don't think it's one of the best looking games, it's not graphics king, it's not unmodded king, I'm not losingends. So what did you want me to pick?

The textures are like a kick in the nuts, and it's a sorta dully colored game.

Looks exacrtly like on 360 with a bit crisper image

0.001% difference maybe

Of course 360 is a beast in graphics, so that is a good thing

loosingENDS

Such denial and damage control...:lol:

1080p/60fps vs 540p

16xAF 8xAA vs no AA

If any PCbros are buying it today, GMG has it for 33% off.

Did I take a time machine back to 2010? Are people still talking about Alan Wake as a "graphics king", "foliage king" or whatever the hell?

This game has always had bad graphics - even since its launch on the 360. Trying to say it has good graphics on PC now is just a joke. There are games that look extraordinarily better and came out half a decade ago.


EDIT: Seriously, I'm ashamed of System War's eyesight. One of the best looking games? Lolwut? Where have you guys been? There's a very long list of better looking games.

always off. The tearing is far less annoying than the input lag. But thanfully there is minimal tearing.

6950 should be pretty similar so

Just cos some look better doesn't mean this looks terrible. I think it looks great. the textures and character models are pretty bad but the lighting is almost unmatched. And the scenery is amazing with some decent level design.

If it got a little bit more of a polish for PC it would look great but it's far from really bad

The resolution alone is 442% bigger, but the troll mathematics you use suggest that 0.001% = 442%

lol come on now. I can think of quite a few games with far better and more realistic lighting. The VERY obvious one being Uncharted 3. God of War 3, and killzone 3 also come to mind . Battlefield 3 as well. And in all honesty, beneath all the bloom and fog effects, the graphics in Alan Wake are actually pretty mediocre. ..and even you know it deep down inside . There are MANY better looking PC/ps3 exclusive games out there. Although, I guess it did look good FOR A 360 GAME at the time lol

I thought that the story was a nonsensical and poorly executed mess lol. And I found the gameplay to be really repetitive and boring. Its like Luigi Mansion minus the fun. Not my thing, but for the people that did actually enjoy it. Have fun I guess. I rather not bother with this lackluster game again. Being able to play it ( alan wake) at a higher resolution isn't going to fix all the significant problems deep at the core of this disappointing game.

You must not be talking about Killzone 3, because that game had insanely detailed textures. And its funny because Alan Wake has even worse textures then all those aforementioned games too

Always turn V-Sync on. The only reason for putting it off is benchmarking and if there's problems relating to V-Sync.

The only thing to care about in Alan Wake is the phenominal characters and story and environment - game is like playing through a Stephen King novel.

I don't see that much at all, otherwise I would use v-sync more. Plus I want take advantage of SLI.

PC version also has 8xAA and 16xAF. It has better lighting and shadows with better godrays. And it has better LOD and draw distance. It's not just a resolution bump. But the textures are a bit low in resolution and the normal maps are pretty bad in some places.

Let's hope that they might actually provide some mod tools. they said they might if people wanted them.
