As I expected Alan Wake was the best game shown today

Man, did MS show ANY gameplay videos at the conference or all pre-rendered and/or CGI trailers. What are they? Sony?

Having said that, I was interested in Alan Wake when they first showed it like 3 years ago but quickly lost interest. The screen shots never seemed to look that great to me and the game was taking for ever to come out. Plus, not being a 360 owner I admit to originally being a bit ticked when MS bought exclusivity.

Now that I've seen the trailer, I am going to give kudos to 360 owners. Game looks and feels amazing. I'm impressed and it makes me want a 360. Although part of me DOES wonder how much of this trailer was 360 and how much was on PC and how much was rendered. Other than that, the look and feel of the game gives me that feeling I had when Silent Hill first came out.

all the gameplay MS showed off was gameplay, and in realtime. Forza III gameplay, Alan Wake gameplay, SC gameplay, only thing that was CGI was crackdown.

Check out the gameplay demonstration from the actual keynote. They play the game on stage with a 360 controller.

although i hate x360 along wz all its exclusives, this game looks gr8, but it took alot from silent hil, that's why i liked it, i won't have the chance to play it anyway.

So......when are we going to see the inevitable graphics battle threads pitting Alan Wake against Sony's exclusives?nervmeister

There is the Trailer from the microsoft conference, and I have to say this game is going to be so good.

Alan Wake was a pretty big disappointment, I was expecting a thriller game, not silent hill clone #1508730853

looks alittle too much like alone in the dark which looked great in trailers and gamplay footage but in your hands wasn't all that great

because its dark it's a SH clone? lol.

It's totally different.

Alan Wake was by far the most impressive offereing form the Microsoft conference. I am very interested in this title and not excited about its Spring 2010 release date.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"]I highly disagree, from the perspective of a horror fan that is. It needs to be said that I had high expectations of Alan Wake to revive a semi-dead genre. It didn't do that. Lack of unique enemy design really ruined the suspense. Reanimated crap wasn't scary.3picuri3

I was rather blown away by how good it looked.

I hope you're right, but the whole thing just jumps out at me as a silent hill clone

Alan Wake and Splinter Cell blew my mind away. They look friggin sweet and are my most anticipated games by a long shot now. Splinter Cell looks like i wanted MGS4 to be like (Gameplay Wise)

HOw is a Silent Hill clone NOT a thriller game? And the trailer made it look very much a thriller if you ask me.

Looked good, but not great... but the monologuing... the monologuing will drive me insane.

Thanks. I missed the live show and was relying on recaps and highlites which only seemed to show trailer type footage. I just watched the show and they did show a lot of good stuff. Alan Wake does look great in motion.

I've never really cared or been impressed by MS's shows. I'm a PS3 and Nintendo fan. But after watching this show, MS has really thrown down the gauntlet. It will be tough for Nintendo or Sony to top them. They did an amazing job of showing celebrities, gameplay, drawing attention to both multiplat and exclusive content equally, had some surprise announcements and new innovations. I'm no MS fan (or 360 owner), but this was the ideal show in my opinion. E3 has sucked for years and this is the first time in a LONG time someone did it right.

Nice work to MS. I'm impressed.

Well, I'm a HUGE SH fan, but this has some interesting differences. Although SH is very interesting, so similarities shouldn't be frowned apon. Like the idea of the line between reality and fantasy being blurred.

Kind of reminds me of pitch black actually. With creatures with a weakness to light.

Hmm, that looked pretty nice.
