This is what Alone in the Dark should've been like...
Alan Wake is a true representation of how much a game can achieve if you give it some time.

=) Hope it comes to PC also

How on earth is this game trying to be like uncharted when it has been in development before uncharted 1 was released????

This game is looking more and more vanilla with every day that goes by. They should have released this game when it could have held up against games a year ago and now it just looks like something that should have been release a year ago and nothing more. Boring.

Uncharted copy? And how exactly? I don't see Mr.Wake trying to find lost treasure of El Dorado or Shambala.

The voice acting is very bad, the story is really hoaky, and the graphics are decent but the animation is just okay. The light gameplay mechanic is actually unique and different.

Please, quit giving the 360 fans something else to complain about. Mentioning Uncharted in an Alan Wake article is severely off-topic, and will be reported as such.

"All I see is a desperate attempt to be Uncharted."

Huh? What? Really?!
All I see is a desperate attempt to compare two totally different games by an upset Sony fanboy.
Did you even watch the video?
Where does he jump across massive gaps, climb buildings and single handedly take out a tank? I think I missed that....
I could have sworn that this was a horror game.

All fanboys are blind and totally delusional. Proof is in the quote.

There is nothing about this game that stands out from any other well known and already done survival horror game. You've got a new background story to enjoy and light gameplay mechanics and that nice but general, that game looks normal average and I must say, seem full of cheesy production values.

If this game was named Alone in the Dark2, no one would even flinch about this title cause that's exactly what it looks like it could be. They just gave it another name and made it exclusive to the 360. If 360 fans are excited about this then I'm sure they were totally ecstatic about the 1st Alone in the Dark. If they weren't then I'm not quite sure why they seem overly hyped for this game cause it look exactly like a sequel for Alone in the Dark.

Go do screen shot comparisons for Alone in the Dark and this game and see for yourself. Better yet, go play Alone in the Dark and it'll be even more apparent.

Sorry but if this game is seen as "teh uber" to you, then you really shouldn't have the mouth to diss any other game out there.

Godmars290 - 28 days 3 hours ago

What you're seeing is one set of fanboys egging another for continuing to hype "their" game even though its changed from what it was first promised to be.

Alan Wake probably will be a good if not great game, but that doesn't change the fact that its not the open, dramatic active event, world that it was first shown as on a high-end PC. The PC version doesn't even exist anymore and yet many in the XDF still act like it will be a genera and console defining title.

As long as they hold onto that belief, it just going to be salt in the wound.

O2_Addict - 28 days 3 hours ago

Some of the best games ever made are still compelling and fun despite outdated visuals.

Having said that, the video of Alan Wake looks very good.

The visual style reminds me of an old PS2 game called Ghosthunter. Ghosthunter is basically roaming around with a flash-light killing ghosts. From a technical standpoint it was one of the top games last gen. Bump-mapping, dynamic light sources with real-time shadows, etc...

And it doesnt really impress much...

It'll be a good game, for sure, but you'd think they would force the 360 to do something no one else has...but it still looks meh.

After removing the sandbox elements of the game I would think the graphics would have been upped a bit...

but I guess they bit off more than they could chew.

@above

They might as well call this "Alan's Mansion" haha.
(if you dont get it dont worry)
I'll still play it day 1 though, but i'm not so hyped anymore.

Agree(2) | Disagree(3) | Report

AnttiApina - 27 days 23 hours ago

The reason why they look the same is because they actually are using the sandbox engine. It would be too much trouble to move all the stuff. Plus, the levels and environments that the game takes place in are huge.

Also, the daytime gameplay could actually have a really vast world to explore. I think that the night time will only be linear.

But the truth is revealed after the game is released... Or when the devs decide to release a daytime gameplay.

Saaking - 27 days 22 hours ago

Well, imo, they were saying Alan Wake would push the 360's graphics far and beyond. From what I've seen it looks like a fun game with solid game-play but the graphics are no where near UC2.

The main draw of the Alan wake was it's impressive graphics for an open world game. It's NO longer an open world game, but after five years of development the graphics are STILL not on par with UC2 and KZ2. They really need to up their game or release the PC version else the game is just gonna be "another shooter"

beardpapa - 27 days 21 hours ago

The environment seems to be very static. And what's with the lightsaber beam-like flash light?

The faces of the characters seem to lack any emotion as well when in the cutscenes/dialogue sequences. No crazy facial animation I take it. I'm still getting it though.

For those of you mentioning Siren. The game was scary and appears like it will be scarier than Alan Wake. Though Siren had piss poor graphics, but seemed to work for its theme.

The Emperor - 27 days 21 hours ago

I know! Anything to do with something 360 these days is just "an uncharted copy cat" or "nothing new" or "bad visuals" . I mean some people need to rethink their life. Uncharted 2 is not that amazing. I got platinum on it, and I didn't think it was that amazing because everyone hyped it to the point on overload.
This games will be good, I'm expecting something like the hype for Mass Effect. Remember that? Kinda a new idea, appeases the Hardcore crowd, and something casual people will enjoy.

Godmars290 - 27 days 21 hours ago

But can you honestly say that there's been a 360-only title noted for its graphics? All I know of are squeals that look better than the first game. Not that it shouldn't be expected.

Let's not forget that it's running on a different platform.

The Emperor - 27 days 19 hours ago

360 only game noted for its graphics. Well hmm. You got me, since Microsoft makes, or to not piss the PS3 people off by not being specific, funds PC hardware, so if you buy lets say Mass Effect or Halo 3, aren't you still buying a Microsoft funded game? GAMES FOR WINDOWS means MICROSOFT HAS GOT YOU AGAIN!

Ok I kinda lost myself, I will admit. I just don't understand this whole system anymore. People used to get more than one system and applaud both, not troll both. I will say yet again that I own both a PS3 and a 360... shoot me for owning a 360 and it's terrible failure rate (lol because I never had a single problem) and an "Elitist" console. Unfortunately, I can be biased towards the 360 (way too many Ps3 kids bashing it because they're trying to justify their purchase, and maybe their life?)

Ok back to Alan Wake. Graphics are great. I just know it will be very fun, very good, and $60 well spent, like ODST (can't wait to make people mad on that)

But then again I like linear games.
More story driven, and the action is carefully crafted and focused to give the most cinematic experience possible.
Not to mention typically better visuals.

Chubear - 28 days 6 hours ago

Art style or techniques is different from actual graphics fidelity. Don't confuse yourself about that. One may have a cartoony flare another a photorealistic flare and sure the art style can help in the debate of how good the graphics are but the graphics mainly deal with how well the particular art came together in comparison to some others.

How well was texturing implemented, how well were particle effects implemented and displayed, how well was lighting used, how well were many graphical components used to bring the whole package together.

That's graphical comparisons not art direction comparison which is in it's self a component of comparing over all graphical fidelity.
