New Alan Wake Screens.Mind Blowing New Info , Thier not rushing this one boys.

All the pictures where from the PC version and was scaled down to 720p for the internet.

Looks good, hope they dont have to scale down too much on the 360 version, it would s*ck for 360 fans.

[QUOTE="Mandingo101"]this looks average graphically for a pc game, wtf are they doing over there?FrozenLiquid

What?!

The only other games that graphically rival this are Crysis and the as-yet-released Project Offset.

It looks like Heavy Rain, except where Heavy Rain is full of closed settings and small environments, Alan Wake is huge, open, and sprawling. In fact it appears to be a true sandbox, unlike Crysis.

and also doesnt feature ****ty low res textures. just look at the houses around HR's environments. gta4 had better looking more detailed structures.

Some New Tidbits

- AW had 4 clear goals for the design:
1) Psychological action thriller
2) Introduces light as a part of the new gameplay mechanic
3) A movie like story, set in a big, free roam environment
4) Must score 9+ from reviews

- No set release date. They'll work for as long as they feel they need to. Quality is the highest priority.

- Remedy consists of only 30 people. (They outsource a lot)

- They couldn't find a suitable engine, so they made their own.

- Their SDK are so flexible that they can test all changes on both platforms as soon as they are made.

- They've taken 40 000 pictures for the game in the northwest US. They might take antoher 40 000 before they are done.

- Story is told like a TV-series, where doing missions advances the plot. Some "episodes" end in cliffhangers, others are slower paced and geared towards character development and showing Alan's past. They want to get that "Just one more episode" addiction in the game.

- The script for Max Payne 2 was 650 pages long (with a page for every mintue of action in the game). The script for AW will be multiple times longer.

- The plot in AW is tied to episodes, but the world isn't. You'll be able to wander around Bright Falls freely and without any artificial rush, but the story won't advance if you just roam the forests aimlessly.

- Lots of exploring and talking to other people can reveal surprising secrets.

- A strong light vs dark theme. A setting sun means bad news for mr Wake. At night you have to find shelter or arm yourself. Light is the only weapon against the shadowy figures, since they are invulnerable in the dark. Too bad Alan is allergic to light (?).

- "What is real and what is just Alan's nightmare?"

- Battles will be desgined with "quality over quantity" in mind. They want the battles to feel special and exciting.

- "The furhter the 'first season of Alan Wake' progresses, the longer the night for the writer becomes"

I was never really interested in this game until reading that. Most of what i had heard about the game was jsut fanboys argueing about the graphics but that jsut seems like a must buy for me if they get those things right. Story is huge for me it sounds so awesome.

I think I'm falling in love with this developer...so ambitious, and so serious...I hope to God this game delivers, and I'm sure it will.

it will deliver indeed (for pc)

[QUOTE="PS3Breeder"]4) Must score 9+ from reviewsagentfred

Hyping?

The way I perceive it is that they're attempting to uphold a certain quality of the game, a quality good enough to please most reviewers, simply a serious ambition to make a fantastic game.

For what particular reason wouldn't it deliver on the 360?

I intend to get the PC version though...maximum settings on a 22 inch TFT...bring it!

[QUOTE="Iceman2911"]this game better be good nad are there any gameplay videos.-Renegade

This is all I could find.

Alan Wake Gameplay

Why do you still post in this thread when you lost all of your so-called credibility earlier?

The game looks good, not quite up there with Heavy Rain as far as the visuals... but the episoic content so far as the gameplay & character development sound like they could be even more interesting than Heavy Rain's gameplay.haze_blaze

Those visuals make up for it in what seems to be a game of a much larger scale. And excluding character models, I think Alan Wake bests Heavy Rain in most graphical categories.

[QUOTE="SonyMarksman70"]Why is this game called "Alan Wake"? What system is it for?bstarter29

Alan Wake is an acronym for AWAKE. A.WAKE. Alan suffers from insomnia, and his haunted by his nightmares.

It's for Vista/360.

:lol: @ people calling this vaporware before the trailer and screens come.

:lol: @ the people who think this is from the 360.

Anyways, I really, really, really, really like what I've seen so far. The trailer looked great and the ambition this game carries is nearly unparalelled.

Remedy will deliver. I know they will.

Cows can say whatever they want when the 360 version is shown they will be in full damage control mode,its obvious the pc version will always be better,but if the 360 is so weak why they are porting the game then?and better yet the game is not coming to ps3 so we will see again the excuse 'I can play it on my high end PC''...MojondeVACA

lol @ Heavy Rain comments.

Stop compairing PC and PlayStation 3 screens.

people need to stop listening to devs and write ups!

is this for console also? that would explain why the graphics left no impression. if not maybe i'll just have to play it and see what all this fussing is about?

Well since crysis may be in developement for the ps3 in some form can i start to post crysis screens as ps3 shots now?

Lemmings you need to seriously realize that the AW screens are from the PC version of the game that has been scaled down to 720p. If you dont believe me head to www.alanwake.com .

If really believe the game will look the same on the 360 as on the PC than good for you. I would post the famous "you win the prize" pic but i would get banned.

Crysis already looks better than this on ultra high

and that's a one year old game now.
