Not to say that Heavy Rain is bad. But it is a one trick pony. Very linear just follow narrow path and go.

Alan wake on the other hand. Will be much more open world feeling. And you can even drive and get around this way. And the graphics are going to blow Heavy Rain out of the water and again a far more open world to explore.

Game play wise this is a no brainer you will be able to do far more game play moves with the player Alan Wake.

All in all it is clear Alan Wake is going to win this battle.

Heavy Rain did not score AAA Alan Wake will.

HonkyTonkGamer



LOL on the first underlined statement.... you haven't played Heavy Rain have you? Alan wake couldn't even dream of achieving the level of emotion, immersion and suspense that Heavy rain does.

Unless im mistaken ( which i could be ) isnt AAA 9.0 or above? well heavy rain currently has an average of 9.0

Alan Wake is mostly open world but you have to unlock each section of the HUGE map. But why in each location it is open and free to roam.

How can it have an average of 9.0 when it scored 8.5? :| We only use GS scores

Gameplay- yes

Sales- probably

Graphics- no

overall better game? definitely.

No to the graphics? Maybe with character models, but I'd argue that there's much more detail to AW's environments.

I highly doubt any game will come close to majority of Heavy Rain visuals. Some of the environmental textures and background attention to details are almost photo-realistic.

You should know this if you played the full game.

So, if you have played the full game, what did you think of it? Anyone with a Gutts avatar has a stamp of good taste in my book.

I wasn't aware a game with branching paths that allowed the player to choose how it progresses could be called "linear" :|

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

Heavy Rain does look amazing, as I've said. But the overall environments look better in Alan Wake. Have you seen the shadows in the graveyard? Very pixelated and odd looking. And don't make me flash proof, sir. I can own the "if you played the full game" comment in one quick post.

Heavy Rain is my type of game. Alan Wake is a completely different type of game. To compare game play is quite difficult. I know I would prefer Heavy Rain's game play to Alan Wake's. Does that mean it's a better game though, well until Alan Wake actually comes out It's all just speculation. Now, the graphics in Heavy Rain are amazing in some places. Some scenes look almost real. It's quite amazing, some areas don't look as good though as there is screen tearing and graphical bugs. Only based on the Alan Wake footage, I think Heavy Rain does look better. I would have to wait till Alan Wake comes out to be certain. I also have a PS3 and a 360, by the way.

Heavy Rain and Alan Wake are two entirely different games. Playing one will be very little like playing the other. This is an apples and oranges comparison.

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.

Cows are scared of this game.

HonkyTonkGamer

I'm just getting tired of no one being able to be honest.

I'm not a big GoW fanboy, but I admit GoW3 is very technically impressive. I also think Heavy Rain, cept for a few odd animation quirks, is also very impressive. Same with Uncharted 2.

Yet some folks just can't be honest on the 360 and PS3 side. Very disheartening that some try to convince themselves of such fallacies.

Heavy Rain took a long time to get here and you still gave it the time of day. Why not this? It's quite clear you like a great game with strong narrative.

Alan Wake is just for you. Who cares how long it took. It's almost here and looking like a top notch experience.

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

The cows are the loudest and worst fanboys here and you and a few of your fellow +1's are prime examples. I honestly cant remember 1 thread i've read lately where there isnt 2 or 3 of your brethren worshipping the PS3 and talking their usual rubbish about the 360.

Anyway on topic. Dunno what to think of Alan Wake, gonna look good even if its not "the bestest evar" and hopefully it'll play even better than it looks. :D

Alan Wake does look amazing I don't care what you say. But I don't know if the graphics, gameplay, and sales will be better than HR. I never played HR and AW isn't out yet, But I can't wait till AW comes out.

you've played heavy rain? what's your psn id?

honkeytonk gamer has never played HR, or probably any ps3 game. he is clearly a fanboy. Almost all games are linear, so knocking HR for it is ridiculous. HR isnt any more linear than Gears of War. In fact, probably less so because of the multiple endings/story lines based off your decisions/actions.

Not from what I have seen lately, GOW bashing, Heavy Rain bashing, GT5 bashing, and at the same time, Halo Reach isnt even getting bashed on the same level, did you see the Reach thread? it was almost completely absent of cows. I have to say recently Lemmings have been the worst fanboys.

So I just picked up Heavy Rain and had a really bad bug that obliterated suspension of disbelief. [spoiler] When you're in the mall and Jason goes missing in my game Jason was just standing there and I couldn't do anything. Then he glitched out and started walking right beside me and I followed him into a store and he no clipped through a wall. Talk about a HUGE problem. [/spoiler]

So a level 7 account makes an incredibly biased thread, 3/4 of people disagree with him and then you revive it to claim ownage? Wow...
