Alan Wake still open world says Remedy **keep Alan wake topics here**

[QUOTE="themyth01"][QUOTE="Revan_911"] It won't fit the limitations of a five year old hardware. And they clearly say it's not going to be open. Having large areas to explore is not an open world.Revan_911

If that is the case then Alan Wake was hasn't been Open World for like 3 years... Even before the PC version was put on hold they changed their description to fit more closely the "Day = large open exploration, night = linear objective based missions." They have been describing it like that since 2007... At least on their forums...

Good to hear it's still open world.SaltyMeatballs

I still have high hopes for this game, but it was really announced like... how many years ago now? Before the launch of the 360 if I'm not mistaken. We already had pictures and concept art for what Alan was going to look like. I remain skeptical until the absolute last minute when a game takes this long to release, is this shrouded in secrecy, scraps a particular platform, and rumors abound about the structure of the game world. I hope this is everything it has been touted, lives up to it's own hype as well as Max Payne's expectations, and kicks some serious ass. Hahadouken

[QUOTE="toast_burner"][QUOTE="Revan_911"] GTA is open world. Gun is open world. Bully. Alan Wake sounds like Call of Juarez 2. A couple of free roam levels and the rest linear. It's not a bad thing CoJ2 rocked but you shouldn't claim that its an open world.Revan_911

Alan Wake was NEVER developed with DX10 in mind. It has always been a DX9 title.

The original demo was on a Core 2 Quad 2.4GHz, GeForce 7800 GTX, and 2 GB of RAM

Remedy said they had no plans to implement DX10 at any point in development.

And the Xbox 360 version was always the lead platform once formal development was started(original demo was merely a proof of concept without any actual "game" behind it).

[QUOTE="Revan_911"] Alan wake was originally developed with Quad cores and DX10 graphic cards in mind. When it was announced on the PC it was open world. Then Microsoft is publisher, they announce a 360 version and suddenly open world doesn't fit the story. toast_burner

No. It was announced as a Vista only title. Not DX10. it was never DX10.

Dig into the FAQ page and see what they actually updated. It's only about Max Payne 3, and what tools were used in making the game.

Remedy has been very hush hush about it, we know the bare minimum about the game.

I think a lot of people will be surprised

I'll have to see it to believe it. If it's true, awesome :D

[QUOTE="h575309"]Maybe you should worry less about graphics, and more about gameplay and story.windsquid9000

[QUOTE="toast_burner"]back in 2005 it was anounced as a DX10 only titletoast_burner

No. It was announced as a Vista only title. Not DX10. it was never DX10.

NO... They always demonstrated it on a GeForce 7800 GTX. That is a DX9 card. it was not DX10. Period. End of Story. Are you done trying to argue something that is factually false?

[QUOTE="rolo107"]For an open world game, I am very impressed. Are you a hermit? That would explain the downplay here, but I don't see why anyone should be surprised or disappointed. The graphics are impressive for an open world title on a console, and I do not imagine them being much better on PC(other than the typical improvements in AA, etc.) I think it is a bit petty to downplay a game solely because it used to be on your platform.windsquid9000

:lol: People need to learn the difference between open world (Zelda) and sandbox games (GTA)SparkyProtocol

Haters are gonna be really bitter. :lol:

I sympathize with hermits over the situation, but turning into haters is really naive and hypocritical. It's gonna be a great game. No need for it to become graphics king.

Quoted for Truth. There's no need for unjust hate. Alan Wake is going to be stellar.

Since the cancelling of the PC version it just seemed logical to me that the game would be more restricted and linear due to the 360's capabilities. Maybe that's why development is taking so long, because they needed to start from scratch to tailor the game to the 360.

But at the same time I hope you're right and I'm wrong.

The game is and always has been Xbox 360 lead platform... So BS on your theory.

The reason it is taking so long is because Remedy is such a small developer. In an industry where 200-300 man teams is becoming normal for development on a single game, Remedy has 40 employees, and nearly half of them are Engine Technicians and Software Engineers... It takes time to create content, and with so few people, the game was destined to take a long time to develop.

Seems people have a hard time following this, its an old interview.

As long as the mysterious story and graphical power aren't hindered, I'm fine with anything that goes.

The hatred is strong in this thread.Vadamee

Low-res textures, little to no normal mapping, and low-poly objects/environments... :(

I am disappoint.

I still have my doubts about things. I'll wait for solid gameplay when the game gets in the hands of critics. Then after see it for myself. Something tells me to have an interest. Something else is telling me to be cautious of the black van with tinted windows.
