Alan Wake Official Thread (56K Go Away) 8.5 on GS Tomorrow?!!!!!!!!!!!

If the footage we have seen thus far is any indication; AA. The gameplay looks way too simplistic, the enemy design isn't inspiring in the least, and the atmosphere seems pretty defunct for a psychological thriller. Vandalvideo

So, if everything looks bad for you why are you hyping it AA (great)?

I want to play this game so bad. Need to get a 360 first.lusitanogamer

I desagree. Reviewers have been giving very low scores to some big names like Halo Wars for example

Anyway, going by gameplay vids, AW looks an awesome game in my opinion

I saw another thread where someone tallied up the votes where people actually typed their hype instead of just looking at the poll. Hopefully someone can do that again with this one and that would be the real hype. I think AW will get AA.

You got to be kidding me, this picture shows the true graphic powers of the Xbox 360 which is made by the godly Microsoft. All other games EVEN CRYSIS does compare to this NEXT GEN title. Alan Wake will have it all big enviroments, Raw Jackets and even more trees than Fable 2. Look at the other graphics from Kz2, UC2 and Crysis they dont even compare to the holyness that is Alan Wake.

Killzone 2 looks like crap compared to Alan Wake

Even the ass of Chloe cant compare to Alan Wakes superior graphics

Look at all the jaggies on the trees, atleast Alan Wake has no jaggies because of the X360 superior graphics card

once again this can not be stressed enough alan wake WILL BE 2010 GRAPHICS KING!

Excellent thread.

AAAE (9.5) is my hype, with a good chance of getting GOTY.

I predict a 9.0 Anyway I hope it is a good game because this may finally be the reason I purchase a 360.

The game is 540p. It is a fact. I am getting a little tired of these bullshots keep posted. The shots at beyond3d have 8xAA sampling at least.

lol, noone seems to be able to answer my question it seemsspeaker48

Not every game has to do what Uncharted 2 does to be good. I'm going to play Alan Wake for its dark, brooding atmosphere and well paced story. You're listening too much to fakeboys here. Why can't we just enjoy the game for what it is?

It won't matter if it has slightly less pixels. I've seen many gameplay videos and Alan Wake looks beautiful. Graphics King? No, but it's still far, far from ugly.

yet games like God of War 3 can have MLAA which mimics 16x MSAA , aka the most technically advanced anti aliasing system ever put onto consoles, and STILL be 720p ;) While at the same time using 2500 x 2500 textures on its character models (most games use 125 x125 or 250x 250), and having the most detailed character model put onto consoles, and processing realistic real time flesh wounds (again, superior tech to any console game previously released). All I've seen of alan wake's physics is a storm blowing some trash cans around (low res low poly trash cans lol) and alan wake running around with a flash light in the dark with NOTHING going on. Im still hard pressed to find this game better looking than MGS4 (an extremely underrated game around here for its visuals, it didnt win all those best graphics awards for nothing lol)speaker48

That's because Alan Wake and GOW3 are two completely different games, developed by two completely different developers on two completely different consoles.Alan Wake is a psychological action thriller. I don't expect behemoths walking around in the background. AW is driven by its story and narrative, while GOW3 is driven by its combat.

I'm going with AAA :D. Can't wait to play it and the graphics are just the icing on top.

[QUOTE="Brownesque"] Who do you think is the source of that thread? Quaz51. Quaz51 just said Alan Wake is 540p. Perhaps your trust is misplaced if you expect that thread to say anything other than 960x540.Chutebox

I mentioned many other factors (which you chose to ignore).

Again, I stated that GOW3 and AW are vastly different games.

AAA .

And I cant wait for the sticky to go!:)

New 100% in game video grabs

here are some staggering Alan Wake video grabs, looks stunning

Sure looks better than MGS4... So it still could get a perfect score, but my hype is 9.5. All lose .5 for no multiplayer, but will score great on everything else. Phazevariance

There are five huge differences with MGS4

1. Alan Wake is not on a10 feet path, it is a huge world during the day at least, where you get a car to move around

2. No coriddor that ends and no loading in that end every 5 minutes like in MGS4

3. The lighting is 100% real time, so all shadows, the light from the sun move and change during the day all in real time

4. it has some stunning particle and physics effects

5. Forests are IN the game, something you can visit, not only a backdrop to look at from your narrow path

[QUOTE="CMPunk13"]

[QUOTE="blue_hazy_basic"]I know lems have this hyped as AAA but I have a feeling this is going to megaflop with an 8.5blue_hazy_basic

8.5 is a megaflop? :lol: Poor bastard. Doesn't even realize how low on the totem pole GS is.
