Alan Wake = Luigi's Mansion

NextGN writes: "Ever had a crush on a celebrity you one day realise looked a little bit like your sister's best friend? Yeah? I get that same feeling every time I see a trailer for Alan Wake. As much as I am looking forward to Alan Wake it´s hard not to notice the game-play similarities between the game and Luigi's Mansion. Oh, snap – yeah, that's right, I said it. Don't act all offended, you know you were thinking it too."

Ok so a PS3 fanboy from n4g goes on a Blog site , bash a xbox exlusive and submits it gets a few PS3 fanboys from the site to approve his crap and then it gets on the front page everybody start fighting in the comment section and the mods watch the whole thing and LOL their ass off.

I Guess No Games can use Flash Lights anymore because Luigi Used one in Luigi Mansion.

Might as well start making articles about How UC = Gears of war because They took the Covering system from them. Yall see the similarities?

smh

Umbrella Corp5196d ago

See how I cant ell your a fanboy?How does Sony have to do anything with a Microsoft game,last time I checked Luigi is an IP off of Nintendo,your a sad sad troll my friend.

Natsu X FairyTail5196d ago

Because It's obviously a PS3 fanboy fron N4G who did the post. How would the guy know about MetalGearsolidRising ? last time I checked He always got problems with PS3 fanboys here and nobody from the nintendo camp.

try harder next time.

Umbrella Corp5196d ago

Well why dont you just smoke a joint and play some video games?Dont need to put it up your panties.

Natsu X FairyTail5196d ago

I'm a straight Edge guy I dont use Drugs. I'm playing a RPG Luminous Arc2 as we speak.

weazel5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

straight edge? Throwdown, Embrace Today, Earth Crisis, and Hardline style straight edge? And this all leads you to PS3 fanboys how mr.Marple? Gameplay steals are gameplay steals. (Sorry, I mean INSPIRATION when MS use them, 'cause they're obviously not the same!)

iFLOWLIKEWATER5196d ago

Uh-oh, looks like we have some butt-hurt gamers who won't be playing this game on their platform of choice. It only hurts for...an episode or two.

WMW5196d ago

"Because It's obviously a PS3 fanboy fron N4G who did the post." i believe you i also hear that the terror cell known as ps3 fanboys had something to do with 9/11.

ZombieNinjaPanda5196d ago

I don't know about you guys, but I want a Next Gen Luigi's mansion. That game was so entertainingly fun when I was younger.

DeZv35196d ago

You do know the 'cover mecanic' (at least in Third Person Shooters) first showed up in Killswitch, for the PS2, right?

Just making sure...

Hisiru5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

Yeah, Uncharted = Tomb Raider/Gears of War
Killzone 2 = Doom
God of War = Devil may Cry
Ratchet & Clank = Mario 64
Heavy Rain = Monkey Island
Gran Turismo = Top Gear

Let's use the dumbest logic ever just like this article. This kind of crap shouldn't be approved (regardles of console or game).

SilentNegotiator5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

Yep, you know, those crazy PSTREE fanboys with Xbox avatars who submit stuff on N4G....
Stop being so paranoid.

It does remind me a lot of Luigi's Mansion, but with guns.
Except Luigi's Mansion's capturing concept was a lot more interesting than popping a cap in a ghost-thing.

@Natsu X FairyTail

Pal, Stop Acting like a VICTIM lol

"Poor of us, why they're so EVIL with us"

lol

Seriously, how much "da dooomedz" articles are submiting every day in this site?

And you cry for »[ONE Article]«, deal with it, This is N4G...

alphakennybody5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

"Might as well start making articles about How UC = Gears of war because They took the Covering system from them. Yall see the similarities?" correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't the cover system introduced by Killswitch? talk about fanboy blindness, you need a flashlight.

Baka-akaB5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

I dont even get how and why you're pissed ... unless of course you've got a low opinion of Luigi's mansion .

I see the comparison as flattering , when Luigi was a pretty great game and pretty creative .

And well yes natsu you can comapred the cover system from UC2 to gears of war . i doubt it would enrage any sane person here (even if like said above , you might remember killswitch or even Re4) .

The only stupid comparison i often see for UC2 would be with tomb raider , when indeed it got more common ground with gears .

I didnt click the link so i wouldnt know if indeed it was done as a jab ... but there are far worse thing to be compared to than Luigi's mansion .
Except for those guys who believe Mario games are kiddy casual crap (and would instead play noob shooters like mw2)

JokesOnYou5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

Every Game Now = A Game from the Past

Hmmm, I read this blog and basicly all he's saying is that Luigi's Mansion already did gameplay using a flashlight, now Alan Wake is doing it....ahh OK thanks buddy, what's next you're going to tell us Halo Reach uses "a gun", but Doom already did that? lol

In other news; Water = Wet.

Was this suppose to be a bad comparison? lol, folks are too sensitive on this site....they think any comparison to a old game is a bad comparison, so funny when no one can name a game this gen that is totally unique. lmfao..Gamers, really?

JOY

BWWWAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAahahaah ah ah ah aha oho HA!!!

"I'm a straight Edge guy" xDDDD

I keep trying to say that with a strait face. LOLOLOL

HighDefinition5196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

But you can`t deny, it basically IS a more mature Luigi`s Mansion.

BTW, Luigi`s Mansion was fun.

infamousinfolite5196d ago

You know it's amazing how a person would say something about a game like "it looks like something" or "it's not better than..." and sooner or later it comes out in an article smh

IaMs125196d ago

Oy vay, ALL companies "Steal" from one another, Sony takes from MS, MS takes from Sony, Nintendo takes from all and They all take from Nintendo. Its called competition and i like it, so it can stick around. If we didnt have KZ2 i dont think Halo: Reach would look as good as it does now, samething with UC2 and Crysis and stuff

LesterCorncrake5196d ago

it looks propper sh1t that alan wake, cant wait for my heavy rain in the post though......alan wake ...... its meh

clonerz5196d ago

hey now lets be truthful how much does this remind you of resident evil/ silent hill mash up but i dunno i really dont see this as a must own game more like a rental you beat it put it down and never look back that is if the whole flashlight thing doesnt blow but who knows maybe it will be cool but i doubt it and think it will be a required taste more so than heavy rain

SL1M DADDY5195d ago

The Sony camp must be taking notes then from the Xbox camp 'cause you guys have been doing this tactic for years now. Heck, most of the Xbox fanboys work for IGN, Kotaku, Sarcastic Gamer, GameSpot, and so many more crack journalism sites. LOL @ anybody that finds this something out of order since it's been done before, by the other side of the console war. lol

YogiBear5195d ago

"In other news; Water = Wet."

Be a little more original.

@Natsuwhatever

Grow the f**k up. Judging from your post it sounds like you should think twice about the straight edge lifestyle.

IndigoProductions5196d ago

Straight edge? LOL

NextGN is a pretty big site though it may not appear to be. This article is SPOT on. I was definitely thinking that the whole flashlight game-play reminded me of Luigi's Mansion... and the comment about MGR, well he´s posted comments on their site before so of course they´d know him. WOW! I don´t get why people are so offended... he is not dissing the game.

PeterPanParadox5196d ago

Hahaha. Alan Wake = Luigi´s Mansion. This is going to get UGLY! :)

sikbeta5196d ago

Is going to get UGLY cuz some guys on this site didn't played it, so they think "LM is da bad game, cuz you don't shoot anyone"

Unbelievable

Baka-akaB5196d ago

Seriously it tells me more about lack of knowledge about mario/luigi games , and deep hatred of anything mario/or with "kiddie" design .

But i guess tits and blood are more hardcore and mature supposedly , even when you mostly use qte in HD action games (yes guys that's where the problem is , abuse of qte in action stuff , not in gabriel knight/pc adventures kind of games like heavy rain) and when most current fps are dumbed down to the extreme .

sakura20095196d ago (Edited 5196d ago )

monkey see monkey do

Evil Industry5196d ago

Luigi Do, Alan See, Alan do? Haha... this article hits it right on the nail... still looking forward to this game. :)

iFLOWLIKEWATER5196d ago

Taking digs at a 360 exclusive, who would've thunk it?

Darkfocus5196d ago

Luigi's Mansion was a great game its not a negative thing

BkaY5196d ago

English is not my first language but damn...

your mean "thought" right.

thunk .. means a hollow sound ...

iFLOWLIKEWATER5195d ago

Oh...ok, well then your thought is hollow...is that better?

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran821d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto21d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia21d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger21d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie21d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

21d ago
Profchaos21d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie21d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh21d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
