Fishy Fingers - 427 days 12 hours ago

Your basing GOTY potential on a trailer? Let alone you havent seen half the games out next year. Way to set yourself up for a possible disapointment.

But yes it does look really good, hopefully it not stupidly demanding like Crysis, I know Intel used it some time ago to show case their CPUs (Quad core I believe) so hopefully they've kept it inline with current (or around time of release, current) hardware.

Yep, I am guessing this is the PC version... It would be insane to show the 360 version.

But even so, the graphics aren't as good as the picture for the story here.

You can see.

And polygons counts are lowww...

"Your basing GOTY potential on a trailer?" Well yes what else to i have to base it on, apart from the fact Remedy arent known to produce crap and MS is publishing it and the last time MS published a 3rd party game we got Gear of War and Mass Effect so.......

Plus i doubt the PC version will be that demanding if the 360 is the lead platform

Fishy Fingers - 427 days 12 hours ago

Well how about you take it for what it is, a trailer designed to "sell" the product, like every other trailer. Assuming something is as huge as GOTY at this stage is ridiculous, as I'm sure your aware if you think about it.

360 is lead platform? Got a link for that. PC and 360 game, built on a PC, show casing PC hardware, but 360 is the lead? Link please.

If I was a 360 owner I'd be excited by that. Graphics did look kinda blocky but the story concept based on the soundbites is rather intriguing. We'll see how this turns out as time passes.

LOL already got 2 mate, don't think I need 3. I'm a PC gamer at heart, it's my chosen platform, and that is my prerogative. I play computer games, you play computer games, we all play computer games so why feel the need to ridicule each other over platform or format?

Any game available on console and PC i'll take on PC primarily and pick up console version if my friends do so I can play with them.

Why does platform matter to you so much, this is also a PC game so why cant I comment from a PC angle. N4G is just for console gamers huh bro?

@ Omega4 - funny how you mention only gears and mass effect as games published by MS, did you forget about the massive flops they published like NG2, Too Human, Tenchu Z, Vampire Rain, Ninety-Nine Nights, Lost Odyssey, Infinite Undiscovery, Perfect Dark Zero and probably more...

NG2 and Lost Odyssey where not bad games or even flops.

Dread - 427 days 11 hours ago

To 9.1

Los Odyssey is not a flop! (It is actually an awsome game).

much less a massive flop.

same goes to Too Human (way over hyped), infinite undiscovery and Perfect dark (they were not perfect, no doubt, but they were not flops, much less massive flops)

and by the way

lets not forget how sony fans have raved about killzone 2 from 2005 (E3) until about 2007, based solely on CG.

And for the record i do not judge games on trailers period.

Alan Wake could suck for all i know.

Alan Awake game of the year?

Possibly...

but some other contenders that I think are in with a chance include God of War 3, Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5, War Devil and White Knight Chronicles.

None of the aforementioned are also on the PC....

Your real funny Omega, when it comes to any 360 titles its AAA, or epic or just out of this world, but when a sony trailer is posted up your quick to shoot it down talk down about etc. This just goes to show you what kind of person you are, your not fooling anyone not even a blind person with that FFXIII avatar.

the graphics are slightly better than gta4's. its not the best looking console game ive seen. the characters look great though, but the textures in the environment needs some work. overall its not up to uncharted's graphics but its close. maybe they can get it to look better like gears 2.

Northern westcoast, Little town by a lake, tourist attraction, single guy arrives by car, insane locals, dark night with flashlight...come one ring a bell? Well probably not the majoirty if you are xbox fans and have never even heard of silent hill for the original playstation one. If you had you would see this alan wake as a complete knock-off of storyline...typical american developers littel minds so they steal others ideas

i dunno, Tha facial and the movments in this game look a bit stiff (kinda like gta arm swinging movements). Is that supposed to be in CG 0.o i was expecting a bit more from this game.

owell the constrution of the trailer looks good but resi 5 is wayyyyyyyyyyy better

RebornSpy - 426 days 14 hours ago

at least for a game that won't come out for a while. I'm sure it look even better upon release. The story seems really interesting too, though not really a ripoff of Silent Hill by "typical American developers".

I don't really like horror games, but this one seems very interesting.

Diamondwolf - 427 days 7 hours ago

I'm a little worried about this game. All the hype that was already built up without any game play whatsoever is making me wonder if it's going to be another Alone in the Dark. That had a VERY VERY similar trailer and I got excited about that game until I actually played it :/

Here's Hoping that Remedy can actually put good gameplay in it, and if it's as good as their previous games, then I'll be relieved.

Mozilla89 - 427 days 7 hours ago

But this game reminded me of Heavy Rain, they look kinda similar. Although I wish the main character didn't look so damn depressed. The actual character looks great! Even if those screens are from a PC build I'm pretty sure the 360 can come at least close to pulling it off.

However the rest of the game looks a little..off? I know someone said blocky but I was thinking blurry or just regular. Its like the character looks amazing but the rest of the environment doesn't match the detail. Just my opinion though.

aebriscoejr - 426 days 21 hours ago

It did give a Silent Hill kind of vibe. I hope it's not, but that's what it looks like.

I'm really hoping this game turns out to be something good. Remedy has been working on this game forever, and it would suck for them to put all that time into something that turns out to be underwhelming.

I think this game is going to compared to Heavy Rain, since they're coming out around the same year, and both seem to be heavily story driven. I wish the best of luck to both microsoft and remedy with this one.

xhi4 - 427 days 7 hours ago

the fracture developers said on the interview with Gamespot that they had maxed out the 360 with all the physics calculations, one of the advantages an 7 SPU core has that a normal PC core doesn't.

The Xbox 360 is powerful in that it runs exactly like a PC with a quad core, that's great but it can't hold up against a dedicated 7 SPUs which can process and dedicate farrr more.

You use bioshock as your example, to be honest, it's not a graphical warehouse, its a gameplay warehouse, a graphical warehouse is something like Uncharted drakes fortune or Killzone 2, not Bioshock (as great a game as it is)

like look for yourself. The gears 2 picture, great game, but it uses an image collection as its fire, because the CPU can't calculate and keep a steady frame rate the actual fire particles dispersing etc. With Killzone 2 it's quite different, the uncharted explosions are the same. And look at the ground texture on the gears 2 pic. you see? I hope that helped!

How your comment started good and ended in a flamewar instigation

PS3 and 360 owners in this thread need to quit already and admire the nice looking trailer.

I'm kind of glad that I don't have to envy any of you one console-ethugs who come here and try to make your console out to be god's gift to gaming. Most of it's entertainment because it's like watching red and black ants in a hill all fighting.

Think about this. While most of you fanboys bicker and groan about how good games on the opposite console sucks and actually getting your feelings hurt when someone else does the same to your console of choice, I'll be enjoying both of your games! :)

Have a nice wasted time over nothing day!

I bet you had to take a shower after seeing this, for having sh!t yourself. Looks good don't it? I think the PS3 just lost 2009, well better luck in 2010, and have fun playing that now last gen game KZ2. Make sure you was your pants and underwear separate from other cloths, don't want them smelling of sh!t...:)

It'll be on a DVD on the PC so how will they downgrade it to fit on a DVD? They don't use Blu Ray for PC games u numpty. Speaking of overhyped games, isn't Killzone 1 poor as hell and Resistance 1 nothing special? Actually that's not a question cos I know the answer. Will probably be a great game, just like all the Max Payne's

Xeke - 427 days 11 hours ago

Well the DVD for the PC has compressed data on it and will normally ship with multiple DVD's IF needed then the game WILL INSTALL to the PC (this expands the compressed data) and only needs the main DVD in the cd drive to recognize that you own the game, if you actually used a PC you would know this and since the Xbox doesn't do this you can see where he will get the idea that it will be dumbed down version or that it may have to be of more than 2 DVD's to match the PC version.

Haha. Even if you had the best looking game of all time that's super realistic and utterly amazing, you wouldn't get to see it in all it's glory.

Here's an idea, sell your trolling club, and get an HDTV. At least then you wouldn't be praising graphics you'll never get to see.

You're joking, right?

Heavy rain has better graphics than anything...and I mean ANYTHING. Killzone 2 is a close second, but this thing is a beast!

Alan Wake will be a great story, but you have no idea what the gameplay will be like. Stop pretending you do.

You're saying that they can't use something invented last generation? Fine. Let's get not use an over-the-shoulder shooting system, cover system, online play, or achievements. Happy now?
