[QUOTE="millerlight89"][QUOTE="AlphaJC"] 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.

yeah i mean if they do get more money then they could maybe hire more people but it really sucks i cant play Alan wake on my PC. I specifically built my PC for games like this. But o well I'm sure the game will be awesome without all the bells and whistles. Just look at Half life 1 , game looks like garbage by today's standards but is really a game that never fails.

It doesn't matter for the gameplay/story/audio quality, game could score AAAAE *. But it matters for the "graphikz king" contender, it can't be sub-hd. * - MGS4 res is 1024x768 with TAAx2 ;)

That res seems a bit to scary. The better native res, the better it'll look in HD. I notice in the game is that some textures are really good like Alan jacket and the lighting is phenomenal but some textures and voice acting are pretty bad (Alan's VO is great but other people are bad). Seems like it could be a great survival horror game ?? idk what the official genre for it is but it could be a great game.

MGS4 is sub-HD regardless of it being 1024x768. Besides, Remedy confirmed that AW runs at 720p

It still way higher resolution than 960x540. Pixel counters from B3D are never wrong, thanks to them you know that MGS4/Halo 3/ GTA4 PS3/ Haze/ SCC are sub-hhd :roll:

Lets not forget that MGS4, a sub-HD game, beat out Crysis in Graphics that year :wink: You know, that award that cows just love to remind people about?

Oh, and Ive seen plenty of people talk about how amazing MGS4s graphics are in the few months Ive been here, and the game is 2 years old. I can only imagine the amount of graphics talk it got around release.

Not bad for a sub-HD game, eh? Pity its a different story for Alan Wake though, it just has to be disqualified from any kind of graphics talk because theres a possibility it might be sub-HD and therefore nothing great when it comes to graphics.

MGS4 is not rendered at 1024x768, that would 4:3, the pixel count by Quaz51 gave us that number, but the game renders in 16x9 meaning it's an equivalent pixel resolution of

1182x665 or 665p

Lems always bashed MGS4 graphics :roll: It wasn't graphics king in 2008, but it's still great looking console game. Alan Wake can't be compared to GOW3/K2/U2 and even GeOW2 becouse it runs in almost SD resolution (720x576/720x480 is SD).

Hah, they can look as good but they don't render as much on the screen, so they can't be comparable. PS3 version of Ghost Busters before the patch had 960x540 resolution, AW can be compared to that :P

dude how many sources do you need to confirm that AW is 720p? Remedy and loads of preview sites state that it is 720p. "The game is 720p. Those screenshots are based off footage captured at 960x540 like cocorenut pointed out, of course there will be some downsampling involved. As has said before Videogameszone and Gamepro both released footage without approval and due to the fact that we don't know how many compressions their videos went through or what process they took it's best not to use those videos as sources. " if remedy was a liar then wouldn't they have told us that thier cutscenes are in engine rather than a mix of in engine with CGI? and 960x540 is one heck of a crazy resolution. those pics look terrible compared to the vids the vids are crisp clear in 720p and many preview confirmed it, so why are you sticking to one source when loads of credible sources say other wise?

Except its not B3D pixel counters, its a German site that used their own video capture software ant only captures at 960x540. Beyond 3D uses true HD video capture. Like i said, actually read the links instead of just ignoring them and posting stuff trying to annoy others.

88mphSlayer
yeah... really... if M$ wasn't so greedy and would let Remedy actually make the PC version this wouldn't be an issue. Gamers should sue M$ for their lies about DX10 and Vista... How many gamers seen those DX10 bullshots M$ was throwing around of Alan Wake to get people on board with vista? Then they cancel the PC version after their next OS is out... lol... It's just messed up.

Mabey it has post processing effects that are sub HD ala KZ2.

K2 framebuufer is 1280x720/QAAx2, there is second (1/4 resolution) FB for some effects.

For all effects....then those are scaled up to match the resolution of the game. Its the effects which make it look so good. Are we to discount the game for that as well?

You can keep teling yourself that this game native res is 1280x720 but this isn't true :)

the first comment is not entirely true, video compression CAN change the reso;ution of a game if there is downsampling involved

Not all, only DOF, OMB and particles are rendered in this second FB, rest is rendered in 1280x720.

The hipocrisy of some MGS4 fans is incredible here!!!

Anyway, its not the case for AW. Wasnt already confirmed many times that the game will run in 720p?

Tell this to Quaz51, really. He is the pixel counter, not you or me.

[QUOTE="Midnightshade29"][QUOTE="88mphSlayer"]

i can haz pc version meow?

yeah... really... if M$ wasn't so greedy and would let Remedy actually make the PC version this wouldn't be an issue. Gamers should sue M$ for their lies about DX10 and Vista... How many gamers seen those DX10 bullshots M$ was throwing around of Alan Wake to get people on board with vista? Then they cancel the PC version after their next OS is out... lol... It's just messed up.

How is MS greedy? As fasr as I know, Sony has the most exclusives on their console, THAT'S greed. MGS4? Uncharted 2? Those games should be on the 360 too, but Sony ate them up, its MS turn now, suckers!

So how would the game look without those effects?

Lems love to hype their "GK" before the release.
