Sorry to stop the hate train so early, but this is based on screengrabs from the first 20 minutes videos posted at videogameszone.de, which was downsampled to 960x540 to avoid massive latency.

AW still supposedly runs at 720p

Why anyone would count pixels from a compressed movie is beyond me.

[QUOTE="ThePsTriple"]Why are people calling this graphics king?? compared to uncharted 2, gow3, heavy rain and killzone 2 this game looks terrible in every way, theres no way this game is going to become the next king, its technically impossible.ThePsTriple

It only has better lighitng, detail, physcis, charatcers, and VASTLY bigger scale on top

Actually how can you compare a game witgh a vast enironment you can move in, with games that are set in coriddors that you can only go in one tiny path and way ?

Funny stuff

uncharted 2 has better lighting, detail, physics and characters its been proven time and time again that uncharted 2 is the king, nothing comes close to it, oh and scale means nothing when it comes to deciding a graphics king.

Why is it technically impossible? When the 360 has a proven (time and time again by tech data) stronger GPU? And scale does mean something, otherwise all of those sports game like Fight Night would be on the front page everyday.

Also, it was confirmed to be 720p months ago, where have you been? A downsized image from a video doesn't prove anything, in fact, I took a pic as well and came with the same res, blame the video player for that.:lol:

I think it might be 576p...compressed video does not change res of actual game.

Not suprised. That picture is so blurry it is unreal. The truck stands out the most.millerlight89
Ive seen some gameplay footage of this game and on screen it looks good, but yeah when you go up close it looks like **** as most games do , even crysis. Suck that this isnt for PC i would totally get this for my rig, i mean eally looks like another sub HD to make up for performance. I will still be playing the game but man o man microsoft you piss me off.

I have to agree. I am not even sure if the game was on PC it would be graphics king. Now if you look at the tech demo from 06, that Alan Wake looked much more promising.

I'm bookmarking this Teeter Totter thread. :P

My head is spinning back and forth so fast, but there is some fun in this thread for all. :P

My recommendation, I wouldn't put my faith in a "Forum Community Manager", even if he is Managing Alan Wake Forums. Let's just wait for Remedy to clear the air. They have all day, of course, if they don't, it's possible they have their reasons.

May can't come soon enough, HD or not, I will be playing it.

They count them based off videos going by what we have seen so far and the links provided. I'm not saying they're wrong, but until next month, I don't believe the sub HD part yet. I hope the devs aren't lying either.

ps3 is more powerfull so your not going to see games on the 360 that look as good as ps3 exculsives, thats a fact.

I don't really care either way, as I can see with my own eyes that it is a gorgeous game. Beyond that, any flaws in the visuals sure as hell is not going to take away from the game itself. At least not for me anyway, lol. Carry on with your pixel counting, I just want to play the game.;)

I agree when first saw the game trailer and or tech demo for the game i was astonished. But now it jsut looks good to be but not nearl as groundbreaking as it did 5 years ago. Thats what you get when you have sell out to microsoft and deprive the game of what it should really look like. I will still play the game but it would have been nicer to play it on my PC seeing tat i dont have an HD tv.

No lvl 2,thats what you get when you delay game for almost 6 yrs.The game settings were done in 2005,it is incredible how game still looks good considering its old technology.

Is it really necessary to pull the "GS Level" card?

Hmm the game is actually not blurry mess,its screen cap from video so it is a bit blurry,other then that game will probably be quite crisp.

if remedy says it runs in 720p with 4xMsaa, then that's the resolution the game runs in, the fact that the cows are doing so much damage control confirms that this game looks awesome, not that it matters, like i said before, Ps3 owners can keep there pretty, but ultimately, totally linear games,SONY is behind the times, sandbox games are in, linear games are out of fashion, the PS3 probably couldn't run a sandbox game with the same level of graphics as AW or reach, especially with 200 AIdelta3074

Well, that's a complete load.

Linear > sandbox. Any day.

I don't know if this is what he means, but there is a lot of blur in the game. Probably more than KZ2, don't know.

[QUOTE="delta3074"]if remedy says it runs in 720p with 4xMsaa, then that's the resolution the game runs in, the fact that the cows are doing so much damage control confirms that this game looks awesome, not that it matters, like i said before, Ps3 owners can keep there pretty, but ultimately, totally linear games,SONY is behind the times, sandbox games are in, linear games are out of fashion, the PS3 probably couldn't run a sandbox game with the same level of graphics as AW or reach, especially with 200 AIChutebox

Well, that's a complete load.

Linear > sandbox. Any day.

And AW isn't a sandbox.

If done right, sandbox games can be just as great, if not better.

Sure they can, I loved Infamous. That's the only one I've liked so far though. It's mainly the whole linear is old thing, that irritates me. From a personal preference, I'd rather have a linear game over a sandbox game.

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] Considering the tech demo is not a blurry mess, I would say it is better looking. I am the one who brought up the tech demo. No need to get hostile towards him. Chutebox

Hmm the game is actually not blurry mess,its screen cap from video so it is a bit blurry,other then that game will probably be quite crisp.

I don't know if this is what he means, but there is a lot of blur in the game. Probably more than KZ2, don't know.

I was beginning to think I was going even more blind than I am and it was my eyes making it fuzzy lol. I am in no way saying the game looks like poop, tbh I am jealous I want this on the PC, I just think it was more impressive back then.

Yep. During the day it opens up or something, correct?

Linear games are awesome. So far I have yet to get a story as satisfying as a linear style game. Though if Mafia 2 is like Mafia was on the PC, you will have another to look forward to :).

Ya, I actually like the blur. I liked it in KZ2 and I think AW does it well. It's also funny AW gets no hate about it from lems and I'm surprised cows don't bring that up more.

Errr i am going to assume that is a crappy off screen or a terrible camera because i dont remember the game looking so horrible. Also who cares if its sub HD, if it keeps the performance up then go for it.

This. Besides, Remedy confirmed it's 720p. Here's the link The picture was just offscreen captured using a low res camera. Seriously, cows are getting very defensive about Alan Wake looking so good...it's fun to watch (read)

[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="Bus-A-Bus"]

No lvl 2,thats what you get when you delay game for almost 6 yrs.The game settings were done in 2005,it is incredible how game still looks good considering its old technology.

Bus-A-Bus

Is it really necessary to pull the "GS Level" card?

Yes it is.I love when people talk something they dont know about,he should find INTEL presentation AW video on youtube and compare it to todays results.Game looks better now,it just that long time ago expectations were lower.

why are you so defensive I was just saying that the tech demo looked better than what the game looks like right now especially since its on an Xbox 360, and not a mid to high end gaming rig. The fact is the game will not look as good as it was originally intended im sure there were sacrifices made to make the game perform well on the xbox 360 which is true of all consoles. The game looks good and looks like a great game in terms of story and gameplay, but switching from PC exclusive to mutliplat back to exclusive for a 46 person team is very taxing and a stupid thing to do as a developer. They were closer to finishing the PC version then they were the 360 version..The only reasons why they would put up with that crap is either they are jsut stupid and underestimated how much work it would be or they figured theyd get more money if they put it on consoles and Microsoft said "hey lets get pc gamers to buy our console by making the game exclusive to xbox 360". Luckily for me i have an xbox 360 but I would rather play the game on my nice PC than my xbox 360, especially since I don't have an HD TV.

Well I have a theory, probably wrong but here goes. Now I do not know the reason for them canceling the PC version, but I think that they could not do the stuff they were wanting to do originally. To me it seemed a bit much for the 360. So I honestly think they were like to hell with the PC version, we will just scale somethings back and make it 360 only. I would not blame them, it is where the money is.

I'm not too bothered about that. 1080p only makes a big difference on TV sizes of above 32" and I plan on getting a 32" TV for gaming so it's not a problem for me. The game still looks fantastic.
