I agree. Plus Alan Wake seems to be more original in terms of story and gamplay.

Crysis.
We still haven't seen the weather system for Crysis, either..supposedly it'll support everything from light fog to hurricanes to tornadoes.

I dont doubt that the PC version will be visually superior, but its just flat out dumb for people to think for a second that Crysis will have the better graphics. Alan Wake looks better now, and its not even a 07 game, while Crysis will be going gold in what 8 months

You are completely biased.  Both games look so good at the moment I can't tell which will be better graphically.  To say one "destroys" the other is rediculous.

Obviously you like Alan Wake because it is on the 360 and Crysis is not.

The hell? In what way does it look better? With everything from environment scale, to environment detail, to texture detail Crysis clearly has the upper hand. The only thing I'd say Alan Wake has going for it is more "natural" looking lighting. But on a technical level, Crysis even seems to have the advantage there.

The art style is specifically a person's own opinion. Graphically is easily Crysis in every way imaginable. You're seeing a still of Crysis here. Crytek focuses on video-realism -- not simple empty razzle-dazzle. In Crysis, everything is destructible; everything has a highly detailed soft shadow; every single object in the game is fully physically 3D -- from the water to the clouds; every little polygon has a light source that reaches photorealism, that can only be fully experienced in person.

Yeah, dont bother with Thug_Pikachu, he only posts if its gonna praise the 360 in some way. :lol: If anything will surpass Crysis graphically, it will be the PC version of Alan Wake.

why does every shot of Crysis involve a undetailed mountain in the backround. The Alan Wake ones look better. Crysis looks good, but after seeing the on stage Alan Wake Display, it clearly will have better graphics. Crysis is nothing more than a next gen Instincts if you ask me

Undetailed mountain? To me it looks like the mountains in those Alan Awake screens or 20 kms away while the one in this pic is probably, at most, 1 km away.

Much more up close.

That Crysis pic is so old.  It isn't even Dx10 I'm pretty sure (most of Crysis's screenshots aren't).  It can't be shown as a comparison of what Crysis actually looks like.

For a while I was thinking they were pretty close, but now I see that Alan Wake has some pretty bland and flat looking trees.  While I knew Crysis's trees would be dynamic and destructible, A. Wake looked good because they crammed so many on one screen.

Alan Wake. I saw like a four and  a half minute video on the graphics engine in the game and it looks sweet. They were making tornados and the leaves were blowing everywhere. It was pretty cool.

They ripped off Bag of Bones too. But still, that's a great book and this would be the closest I could get to playing it so yeah this looks pretty sweet.

Time to post some Crysis screens that are IMO, the best there is:








Notice here a real-time earthquake is happening.




Another reason why Crysis looks insanely better in motion -- which is why it will have fantastic gameplay.











Not to mention Remedy specifically showed off Alan Awake just for graphics at all of it's showings so far. The only show place where Crytek went to show only it's graphics was at GDC last year -- practically the first ever build of the game.

Yeah, that's why I'm not picking it up, its basically a tech demo for an overused concept.

A writer moves to a sleepy town to confront his demons, both figurative and literal.  How unique and interesting.  I'm not spending 50 bucks to experience it in videogame form.

Theo only reason thug_pikachu os saying alan wake is because its coming to 360. Dude its a port. The PC version will be way better. Whoever thinks that the 360 version will be better than the orignal verison on PC is stupid. I still think crysis looks better than alan wake.

Try out other shooters first so you get a handle of the new controls. I know I had to.
