It's OFFICIAL Alan Wake will >>> Heavy Rain Sales,Gameplay,Graphics

[QUOTE="AAllxxjjnn"][QUOTE="topgunmv"]

What's wrong with it?

topgunmv

Is there a rendered picture of the same scene for comparison or something? Why does ign have it with game screens?

After all that talk about how cows are the loudest fanboys, the only thing I have seen for the past few days on these forums are PS3 bashing threads, form lems and even sheep.TintedEyes

No way Alan Wake running on a nice HD TV is going to blow every game away in the lighting dept.

The lighting in Killzone 2 is godlike. And eaven if it will beat Heavy Rain, there is God of War III comming out march, witch has extremly good graphics...

Don't think so.

Some of those screens are from the PC tech demo....

ill prolly get it, but gameplay? no way , sales maybe, but then again, what else is coming out for the 360 thats exclusive and good? splinter cell? ps3 has like 5 major releases in the span of a month and a half

We have to wait until alan wake is released before we can say these type of things. however I do not think that AW (Luigi Mansion HD) will be more ground breaking or critically acclaimed than Heavy Rain.

Your crystal ball seems faulty, did you buy it from Ebay?

too bad they canceled the pc version. Don't have a xbox and now I won't have a game to utilize the quad-core haha. This game looks good, but somethin about looks, i dunno... God of War has the lush colorful feel and the videos of this game have a very sterile and almost limited color scale. Obviously, thats just my opinion

Without that ign sticker i probably wouldn't have been able to tell if that was R/L or AW

[QUOTE="Dilrod"][QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]Can you explain why the KZ2 lighting is not only better then Alan Wake but as you put it "godlike". Go ahead and explain.SilentlyMad

i won't act as a PS3 fanboy here, i am more hyped for AW than HR, but :

1-Do you think survival horror game can sell on the x360 ???? i dun think so.

2- HR is too differnt to be compared to AW, luckily it delievered, it's AA here and AAA on metacritic, and the user reviews are surprisngly good.

3-graphically, HR demo was unbelievable, AW has very very good gfx, but knowing the x360, i am sure there are some compromises that we will know about when the game is in our hands.

and btw, it seems you are jealous you won't be playing HR :P .

No, but it's bullshot with medicore textures.

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]

[QUOTE="Dilrod"] Read the reviews about the game. there isnt a console game out there that touches its lighting, Uncharted 2 is closeDilrod

As far as light goes the whole thing about about AW is light fighting the dark. I would look at some of the game videos and what they are doing with their light is amazing. I am not going to sit hear and say one light is better then another light but considering one of the main focuses of AW is light no one should downplay it at all. I have been very impressed so far from what I have seen. I think as far as graphics AW could be better then KZ2 as a whole but I will have to see the game first but I am very impressed so far. I need to see scale and what not but so far like I have said I am impressed. It is still just dev shots though. Like I have said though I will wait till game comes out or at least a wider range of videos.

I think Alan Wake will be fun. And it will probably sell more than Heavy Rain... but as a gamer, what do I care if it sells more??? I've played half way through Heavy Rain and I can say... there's nothing I've seen of Alan Wake that makes it clear it will have better gameplay or graphics... It could end up better in either, or both, categories but until I play... I really can't say, and neither can you. Because the truth is that Heavy Rain is freakin AWESOME. It is easily the freshest thing to come along to gaming in a long, long time.

And the fact that you say Heavy Rain is just a linear path only proves that you know nothing about the game.

Lastly... even if Alan Wake were to have better graphics AND gameplay than Heavy Rain, GOWIII will crush them both ;)

[QUOTE="Dilrod"][QUOTE="SilentlyMad"]Ya that is what I thought you have no idea. Since YOU said KZ2 lighting is godlike then explain how it is better then Alan Wake. I am not asking for reviews of KZ2 I am asking you to back up what you said. Compare the lighting of the two games. If you have no idea that the lighting is better then that is fine but just wondering why you said it. You can just say in your own way how KZ2 has better lighting since you made the comment.

SilentlyMad

You are mixing up two different issues. Alan Wake uses light as a matter of gameplay and it seems like they find many creative ways to weave it into the story/gameplay. That's awesome. The lighting in the game is also fairly good............ But there hasn't been a single vid yet that has lighting (in the technical sense) that is as good as KZ2's!!!

I haven't read all of the other posts you guys have made, but if that is what the debate is about... it shouldn't be, lol.

the game is not an open world anymore.. most of the pictures you posted ( if not all ) were relesed i think in 2007 or 08, so there's a big chance it was taken from high end pc

[QUOTE="SilentlyMad"][QUOTE="Dilrod"] I never said godlike. read the post again, that was someone else. But if you look at the lighting in the games, you can clearly see killzone 2 is better.Sgt_Hale

From my understanding kz2's lighting was nothing special on a technical side, but that some people thought the end result looked nifty.

Both games will be great and that is that matters. I really wish people would stop with the HR, AW comparison's they two different games from two different genres.

In the beginning, I thought Alan Wake looked incredible. Now it just looks lame to me. Should have been a PC exclusive.Jared2720

heavy rain has gameplay?hy4k

Some of the most interesting this gen ;)

I'm actually predicting a AAAE from this game and if it goes below that I will accept the ownage.:P

Whatever, they're not lying about their game... they did start off with a completely open world game & scrapped the idea b/c the game wasn't going to be good that way. Cows & lems are funny... Alan Wake is going to be good. It's okay! Lol. If you're a cow, you have MORE than enough to be satisfied with.

Maybe it is easy to rip on a QTE game... but Heavy Rain isn't a QTE game :?. So you'll excuse me if I don't get the correlation...

See, that's the problem with fanboys... they 'rip' on games without actually knowing anything about them.

[QUOTE="topgunmv"]

[QUOTE="Sgt_Hale"] Well then your understanding is very well misinformed. During the media blitz for KZ2, all the buzz was surrounding the technical breakthroughs... one of the largest highlights being the lighting. EVERY gaming site wrote about it... where were you???Sgt_Hale

So you don't have any links? Ok then.

[QUOTE="topgunmv"]

[QUOTE="Sgt_Hale"] Lol, then you are truly in the 'dark' ages! I don't need to provide links... you can merely read the previews and reviews of the game... pick a site, any site! Start here on GS... don't enter the argument if you're ignorant on the subject. If you're unaware of KZ2's front running lighting technology... it's b/c you chose to ignore any previews or articles on the game. And honestly, I doubt that you're really that ignorant of the fact... you would have had to not be in System Wars for the 3-4 mths surrounding the games release... As it's been a pretty well publicized fact. Sgt_Hale

So you don't have any links? Ok then.

You're the one that made the claim. Now back it up.
