Look closely at these two images......   As you can plainly see, the leaves and grass in Alan Wake pretty much looks like they were made for a PS1 game while Uncharted 2's looks faer more natural and lifelike. I cannot stress enough how important a difference like this is. How can Alan Wake's foliage possibly be anything even remotely impressive when flying aardvarks have at least twelve different ways of turning their noses sideways at it while dancing an irish jig? Hell if I know! Discuss.

Alan Wake is a sand box game, and is named alan wake. Therefore it is graphic king.

Alan Wake has 4X AA and SSAO. It also has a larger draw distance, and has 10000 trees versus 10 plants in uncharted 2.

Hey! This is serious business, alright. We can't have these charlatans in the gaming industry crapping out last-gen leaves n' grass! We pay good money for these games, and we sure as hell don't want to be duped into buying games with cheap-as-hell foliage!

I'm all about quality in my plants, not quantity. Therefore, Uncharted 2 wins.

It's still a good game, no need for AW damage control.

I agree. As a big gardener myself, Alan Wake's foliage looks like they are getting too much sunlight and not enough water. I blame it on the dynamic volumetric lighting.

They look 2D to me. Leaves in uncharted 2 look better in motion when the chopper flies over them.

I'm worried about GT5. 2D trees and foliage. I may have to cancel my pre order, and play Foliage 3--I mean, Forza 3 instead.

I saw about 10 trees + bushes and leaves on ground in Alan Wake compared to the 5 plants/shrubs in Uncharted 2... That's not really foliage.

That UC2 shot shows nothing, I see low poly trees and a flat vine texture that has like 5 polys. Whereas in AW, thick grass and god knows how many trees. Remember kiddies, nature is much harder to represent than human made structures *cough UC2 cough*. Now where are my Crysis pics................?

Dude, that's debatable. One thing I would be amazed at would be you not being a fanboy.
