Sup Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 http://www.gameklip.com/v/1606/ Amazing stuff. Excellent realism and wonderfully stylized lighting. Gotta say I like the look of it a lot more than Crysis. Obviously doesn't have quite the realism or detail, but stylistically alan wake is awesome.

Rocky Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Stunning environment and physics, crappy character animation. Still, a must buy for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dai-San Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I don't have many body parts left to sell for PC upgrades. Quad core gaming looks awsome but man thats gonna cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 This is nuts. It's getting totally out of control, quad core, quad vid cards, 6 Gb RAM, new sound card, new monitor. No problem, I'll just sell a kidney. No, I'll get a 360, this is what drives people to console, and for what - graphics whoring. Somebody make a retro graphics game with GR gameplay and I will buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Maybe I missed a bit of the audio for this game, but did they say it was coming out for the 360? I can't see a 360 running that TBH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtz Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 (edited) http://www.alanwake.com/index.html The thing that confused me was that they talked about quad core but the guy on stage was using a console controller. Petri Järvilehto had this to say on the official Alan Wake forums (18/05/06): “I’ll confirm that Alan Wake is Vista and 360 exclusive. I know some people have reacted strongly to that, but for us this was one of the key decisions that will allow us to create the best possible game. We’ve locked this down a while ago, and being able to focus on fewer platforms means that the game is going to kick more ass than ever before. By going with Vista, we don’t have to compromise everything to the lowest common PC denominator and since we’re not doing a PS3 version we can go all out with PC and 360 multithreading, HDR rendering etc. This focus benefits the tech and game design immensely. We’re really sorry if some end up missing the game because of our platform choice, but in the end of the day we *must* base our decisions on what will let us create the best possible game. That’s just how Remedy as a team works: we’re passionate about creating something unique. Alan Wake is still our IP and we drive the creative control, but working with Microsoft gives us unprecedented levels of development support, testing resources and so on."

Sup Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Maybe I missed a bit of the audio for this game, but did they say it was coming out for the 360? I can't see a 360 running that TBH. Assuming the developers do their jobs, it definitely can. The X360 probably outmatches the PC they were running it on, to be honest. Definitely close enough to run the game on subtly different settings either way. It's just that most 360 developers so far are wasting resources on poor asset management and terrible engines. Since this engine has been in focused development for the 360 for something like a year and a half now, it ought to do just fine. It could also run Crysis if Crytek and EA would devote the resources to make it work, but that's another thread entirely... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pz3 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 be honest im not really sure X360 is really as powerfull as stated. I had a hard time with GRAW COOP last time i played on one. FPS got pretty bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sup Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 be honest im not really sure X360 is really as powerfull as stated. I had a hard time with GRAW COOP last time i played on one. FPS got pretty bad. I've played some terribly ugly Xbox1 games with awful framerates too, yet it ran games like Chaos Theory great. I've spoken to people who are working on 360 and ps3 games about the matter. The 360 is plenty powerful, it's just different to develop on than the ps2/xbox1, and developers are apparently pretty bad at adapting.

Sup Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 The question remains, graphics aside, where's the gameplay? Gameplay isn't that important in a psychological horror game. 60% is presentation. And, anyway, Remedy is the developer of the well received max payne series. Should be fine.

Papa6 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 assumptions; Quad core SLI or even Quad SLI 6GB Ram what? 5 to 10GB Harddrive space. Directx 10? ...9c could NEVER pull this off. PC gaming is getting too hard to keep up with. So whoever commented earlier about forcing folks to console might be close on target. But overall...fantastic graphics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papa6 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 Excellent looking graphics. Gameplay? I was just going to say the same thing. FARCRY at it's time was great looking. But now without OE, it was a humdrum game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
