Ok so what do ya say you put up a poll and let the poll decide which is better?

[QUOTE="BPoole96"]
So a game has to have a large scale (which Alan Wake's is not even anything impressive), forests (?), and volumetric lighting to look better than another? I'm pretty sure the overall concensus of SW is that Uncharted 2 is better. You can still be the only one to think AW is better
Well, if it has those, yes, it would look host lot better
Crysis has huge scale, forests and volumetric lighting and is considered hands down the best looking game, am i wrong ?
Alan Wake looks on par with RE5, this is coming from Kevin-V a credible reviewerThe levels in Alan Wake were not that big though (same goes for Uncharted 2). Both titles pull off a false sense of huge scale levels.[QUOTE="jasonharris48"]
[QUOTE="theseekar"]
Uncharted 2 areas are tiny comparing to Alan Wake open places, that is a fact, Uncharted 2 pulls fake huge scale, Alan wake one is actual places you can go and walk in
theseekar
Well, when you play Alan Wake, and get to explore whole mountain sides and rolling hills, then you will know it is 100x bigger i walkable area than Uncharted 2 in its levels
LOL I own Alan Wake (currently on the 4th chapter ATM). I still stand by what I said about both titles.[QUOTE="theseekar"][QUOTE="BPoole96"]

Sorry, but why would i care for the uneducated opinion from a random guy that has obviously never even played Alan Wake ? Or does nto know what is talking about anyway
That is, if he ever compared the world and visuals of Alan Wake to RE5, you say so, but i have not read his words

GreySeal9
That is a standard Crysis set, it is not my fault all PS3 exclusives cant follow it at all, since none has huge open forests like Alan Wake or Crysis
Amazing thnk foliage is the hardest thing to do and by large a standard in graphics

That, far better lighting too
I am sure Kevin-V never compared Alan wake areas and visuals to RE5 though, they are100% different in every way

Are thre huge open places and forests in RE5 - NOPE
IS there dynamic volumetric lgighting in RE5 - NOPE
Maybe huge physics and weather effects in foliage - NOPE
So, whaton earth do these have in common, they are not coparable in the slightes little bit
maybe he compared gameplay is my guess

Dude there is much more to graphics than scale (which actually doesn't really say anything about the graphics), forests, which again, I don't understand why you keep bringing up forests. Do you only play games that take place is forests and Alan Wake have your favorites trees???
And the volumetric lighting isn't even that impressive looking "Whoaaaaa look at the light beams coming through the tree lines!!!!"
Uncharted 2 also has very good lighting as well so I don't know what your deal is

Amazing thnk foliage is the hardest thing to do and by large a standard in graphics
The quality of a game's visuals in not judged on "what is hardest to do." They are also not judged based on Crysis either, especially when console games can't be expected to look that good. Nowhere does it say that for a game to have top visuals, it must possess huge open forests. Like I said, you are creating psuedo-standards.

:roll: right Alan Wake vast open forest. Now what version of AW are you playing? I love both titles offer a false huge scale in the level presentation (both titles are very linear). U2 does beat in graphics in most cases, while AW beats when it comes to the lighting, soundtrack, story, characters.[QUOTE="KevinButlerVP"][QUOTE="theseekar"]

ok, fact Alan Wake runs @ 540p SD. Alan Wake is linear and is in no way shape or form open world. Alan Wake has low res textures, and has an 83 at MC not meeting the hype of AAA. Those were all facts that I stated excpect for maybe the low res textures[QUOTE="theseekar"]

A game can be linear and have an open world, you should play Crysis too, it is that way
And i did not read any fact, because the huge open spaces are there, fact is something real, not something you make up from maybe videos you have seen of a game
And you still did not mention any reason why Uncharted 2 is better ovrall actually, only that has better textures, which i say in my first post here anyway
I know you're being sarcastic, but I feel compelled to point out that ES2 is not even close to the largest game world ever. Heck, spore (which still isn't the biggest) has a whole galaxy. I remember back in the C64 days you had elite with several galaxies.The Elder's Scrolls 2 has the largest game world ever, does that mean it is graphics king now?

But Oblivion does not use next gen effects, of course there are other huge worlds, but the effects used are last gen compaing to AW
The point is that Alan Wake has better and more next gen effects/lighting than Uncarted 2 AND bigger scale at the same time

I only said the walkable areas in its levels are open and huge in some chapters, like the farm one, what i say is precise and there is no room for your misinterpretations, sorry
AW sometimes looks as good if not better than U2...but those are just moments..unfortunly 80% of the game you spend in night scenery which isnt as impressive as the same locations during sunsets. Thats my my vote goes for Uncharted 2...its better overall looking game.Magik85
Bu-but teh forests!

Yes, Crysis looks so horrible with all those forests indeed ..

"It is an open world in places" you said that it IS open world in places. You even compare it to crysis :lol:alan wake didnt even beat gears2/re5 in graphics..... u2 is the best looking game on consoles,try it and you will see why,comparing alan wake to u2 only makes alan wake look bad.
