Uhhh who said Alan Wake is dissapointing? Your kidding me right??

Personally Alan Wake looks AAA to me. The Mood the Graphics the light/gun gameplay and you cant even forget the story all look remarkable even for this generation...Lets not forget this is the developer who gave us one of the darkest stories in history with max payne which was AAA on a number of sites.

Really whats wrong with Alan Wake? To different from your typical shooters?

That's the problem, it looks like a shooter instead of the "psychological horror" game we've been expecting.siLVURcross

it's more than just a shooter. remedy wanted to show some action scenes at e3 but the game is really story driven. so far they haven't shown how the weather would effect the gameplay other than those old demos they used to showcase intels core 2 quad about 4 years ago. from what we've seen and heard, light will be a bigger factor than a gun.

It was never a psychological "horror", so you were expecting something that it wasn't supposed to be in the first place. And how did you expect the gameplay to be? It's still a psychological game. :? I guess people wanted Heavy Rain quick-time event 2.0.

And from another thread...

I just don't know what the hell they were expecting. Of course it'll look like a 3rd person action game, because, duh, that's what it's always been. The game has never been about revolutionizing anything. It's been a psychological-based action game with combat taking place at night and mystery/puzzle gameplay taking place during the day. It's not a horror game. It's not a psychological horror. It's a psychological game akin to The Secret Window. The story is 100% psychological in the same vein of said movie. Sam Lake's writing will be superb here, and the 3rd person gameplay, while not revolutionary, will be just as awesome as Max Payne, but brought up to modern day. And since it's a psychological game, we all know how the game will turn out and just why you need the flashlight to use on "enemies". Let's just say that Alan Wake is a troubled, troubled man.

it just like a generic thir person re4 ripoff, but your torch can harm enemies the new silent hill looks much betterhy4k

Nope, nothing like either. It's a 3rd-person game. That's where the similarities end.

Everyone has too remember that they said they don't wanna give too much away and have a more action packed scene for E3.

eh....I was never hyped for Alan Wake, but the E3 trailer did put the game on my Tracked list.

Looks very interesting.

not really. since the game is story driven, if they were to show anything other than action, it might give away the plot. as for the plot, alan wake is an author from NYC who is suffering from wirters block. his wife suggests that they on a vacation to Bright Falls, Washington so that he can clear his head. he begins to write again but along comes a twist. everything he writes about becomes reality. his wife goes missing, he loses the manuscript to the new book he was writing, he is being chased by shadowy figures at night, shadowy figures that can be stopped/killed by light. the game will play out like a tv show with different episodes and every decision you make will carry over into the new episode.

How about you guys go watch all the interviews floating around that say there are more gameplay elements to it than just shooting. :|AAllxxjjnn

That's asking too much. Looking into the facts isn't what we're about here.

Their lack of faith in Remedy is disturbing.

"It's just another Alone in the Dark Clone! WAHHH"

So we are not allowed too have opinions?-PuLse

After watching the gameplay, it looks very "meh, who cares". Its just another shooter by the looks of it, nothing special at all really. Which is dissapointing since its taken way to long to get to the point its at now. It reminds me of spore, taking forever to get out, at the end they just rush it and make a average nothing speical game. But who knows mabye it will be AAA still.

Honestly the game is a day one buy for me. I've been anticipating this for too long for it not to be good!!! But honestly, I hope there is alot less gunplay and alot more slow, eerie, brooding psychological thrill sequences than the flashlight/gunplay sections. I want to be scared!!!

It reminds me to much of Alone in the Dark. I know it'll get a better score but I have a feeling it won't do that good. I'm hoping but so far... No dice...

[QUOTE="Irick_cb"]

[QUOTE="jasonharris48"] Well you're steps ahead of everybody who thinks this game is a RE4 clone.

jasonharris48

Speaking of RE4

Beta vs Final?

Same.

This is my point though.

This game had potential, i think it will not shape up to what we think it should have been.

Alan Wake looks pretty good.....:)

looks really boring, just an imo kinda thing. That whole narrating thing is going to get really annoying, i mean i get annoyed when marcus fenix and drake make their stupid comments.

looks alittle too much like alone in the dark imo plus wasn't it suppose to be a physchological thriller instead of a shooter?

Personally Alan Wake looks AAA to me. The Mood the Graphics the light/gun gameplay and you cant even forget the story all look remarkable even for this generation...Lets not forget this is the developer who gave us one of the darkest stories in history with max payne which was AAA on a number of sites.

i dont really see the hype for this game.. but i still havent seen that much of it. all i've seen is you play as alan and you kill ghosts with your flash light.... right...

I still have yet to see one person explain why this game is so special. It looks like any other horror/action game.

At least the new Silent Hill is trying to redefine the genre.
