I know It looks good. I'm glad at least we finally got a firm release date sometime in May 2010. Can't wait.

shocky165193d ago

Have they improved the graphics too?.. I mean I didn't even know the 360 was capable of these kind of visuals..

Fishy Fingers5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

I'm not sure how you can judge graphics on such a grainy low quality video? Game is sounding great, shame about the sketchy video, hopefully gametrailers (or similar) gets a version up soon (HD sucker here).

artistadam5193d ago

wow, i'm jealous... this is like the only xbox exclusive that has interested me so far... and with each passing story and video, i become more and more enamored with this game... kinda makes me want to buy an xbox, lol...

Dread5193d ago

lolz

and here i thought that the 360 was maxed out.

i should stop listening to all the sony fans in n4g.

u got owned5193d ago

WOW! great trailer, HD version please.
This trailer just got me hyped up. AW FTMFW!!! 2010 keeps looking better and better.

FamilyGuy5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

The trailer looks nice but I need me an HD trailer.

Gamers will tell legends about how epic 2010 was, this and many other games will be contributing to that story.

I know, right? Just like those 360 fanboys who have to stink up countless PS3 threads...

Also, wow, the graphics have really improved over the last few years. I thought they looked a bit disappointing before, but now they look really good.

doG_beLIEfs5193d ago

The 1st half is all CG cut-scene. The second half is gameplay but it is impossible to tell if it looks any different from what we have seen already with this small low-res video. Once Gametrailers gets the HD version up we should be able to see if any improvements were made.

Remedy is an awesome developer and this is one 360 game that has my interest.

Homicide5193d ago

Oh God, that was incredible; the ending looked very interesting.

Hisiru5193d ago

This looks INCREDIBLE! I am shocked with the ending, seriously!

This game is already a masterpiece in my book.

Also, the video is in low quality but look at how improved the emotional faces are (0:50).

I need to see it in HD NOW!

Yeah, it looks really, really good. I'm blown away to be honest.

take your fanboy goggles off ,this game looks amazing

anyway i thought you were meant to be a pc gamer or are a ps3 fanboy who pretends to own a PC?

Bnet3435193d ago

Looks very good and intense.

-Alpha5193d ago

THAT is what I call a trailer!

My excitement for this game just shot through the roof, the adventuring/mystery sci fi aspects seems amazing!

My God come to the PS3!

Would need a different publisher. Microsoft is publishing the game. You know you want a 360 for Hour of Victory 2 anyways. = P

Bungie5193d ago

OMFG this is Mind Blowing

wooooooooot

Homicide5193d ago

LOL! White Knight Chronicles.

Anywho, I'm considering buying the Collector's Edition for Alan Wake. Mind = blown!!

-Alpha5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

It looks absolutely amazing, this is the kind of game I'm dying for. The story/mystery looks rich. Damn it to hell. You 360 owners got a real treat with this one, hope you enjoy it.

I would have to say that Alan Wake is behind Halo Reach for two games I dream of coming to the PS3.

The Last Guardian and Bad Company 2 will satisfy my MP and SP dreams this year though, I am banking on The Last Guardian to win GOTY for myself personally.

Grown Folks Talk5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

Hopefully it stays on track. As of right now, it's slated for April 13th with Splinter Cell. As for The Last Guardian, I wouldn't be shocked if it ends up in 2011. Just imagine the pressure devs will have in 2012 though. Trying to get games finished before the end of the world.

Imalwaysright5193d ago

And my wallet keeps getting worst and worst! The poor thing.

On topic it seems that it was worth waiting for this game. Looks great!

JokesOnYou5193d ago (Edited 5193d ago )

Dear Remedy,

You have been teasing me about this game forever with all the talk about a psychological thriller, Light & Dark, atmosphere, dreams turned reality, blah, blah blah and now finally just to spite me you blatantly start showing off these amazing trailers of Alan Wake. Now you are further twisting the knife in my back by showing how polished the game looks. Go ahead have your fun now you bastards, but payback is a beeatch, I will have the last laugh since I'm not going to buy this game until the day after it launches.

An eye for an eye; a delay for a delay. "This is Sparta!!!!"

JOY

DatNJDom815193d ago

I see this game getting good reviews. But I could of sworn this was going to surpass UC2 and Heavy Rain in gfx. Doesn't look like it at all. Might give this game a go anyway. Does look interesting. Sh!t I mean gotta give the 360 some burn too.

Blaze9295193d ago

that trailer was beyond epic

DelbertGrady5192d ago

Greenberg was right. This was huge. :)

beardpapa5192d ago

i've been waiting for this game for awhile now and I'm glad they released this awesome trailer.

xenogamer5192d ago

how you guys start talking about the graphics when it looks to have lower textures than dark sector... the animations are really good, and the atmosphere is top notch, but its really pathetic to see the futile attempts of hyping this title for its graphics, Gears2 surpacess this in every way graphically, i know the sony friends have been pounding you down with the whole graphics thing but to get behind this game as your graphics king makes me chuckle. Cant wait to play this, gives me a sorta SH2 vibe, this and Reach are the only games im getting for my 360 this year.

starchild5192d ago

I'm sorry, but those are the best damn visuals I have seen in a console game. The whole thing just looks incredible.

Veneno5192d ago

the environments almost look Uncharted quality, however the character models and animations still lag behind. Good to see that Microsoft is going to have a stronger 2010 lineup after a horrible 2009.

Time_Is_On_My_Side5192d ago

You can also get it on the PC as well, being a PC game meaning it will be the definitive version.

HighDefinition5192d ago

That was sick, I was beginning to lose interest in this game. Glad to see such a good trailer after soooooo long. Looks like I`ll be buying Alan Wake after all.

aceitman5192d ago

a least 95% of the video was cg look at ps3 exsclusives all in game now thats incredible . what u saw at e3 was game play nothing wow about that now wait till tonight god 3 gameplay trailer boom baby boom take that with a stick a stick

Marquis_de_Sade5192d ago

Some one plays, I'm fairly sure the PC version was scrapped and the game is now X360 exclusive, although correct me if I'm wrong please.

gamer20105192d ago

That was all in engine. It looks like what we have seen before, only polished much more. All I know is that those graphics are some of the best I have ever seen.

For those wondering, yes the PC version was scrapped last year and the game is 360-only now.

lowcarb5192d ago

Best Graphics ever on console! WOW

Red Panda5192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

For as long as they have been making people wait they better come out with something good. Or this could end up on the wrong side of some up coming top ten lists.

@lowcarb. You are an idiot.

bakasora5192d ago

oh.. something I can truly buy for my X360, for the last 1 year+.

Socrates5192d ago

This is amazing. The realism and detail of those graphics is mindblowing. I've watched the trailer about 9 times now and the graphics still leave me with my jaw on the floor.

Major_Tom5192d ago

Now, this is a story all about how
Alan wake got flopped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became a game tester for this flop right here

In Remedy America played and made
In the gaming lounge was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
And all killing zombies in sandbox styled school
When a couple of devs
Who were up to no good
Startin making trouble in my c++ compiler
I got in one little fight and my agency got scared
And said 'You're movin' with your corps and crew to Fin-Land'

I begged and pleaded with them day after day
But they packed my PS3 and send me on my way
They gave me a reimbursement and then they gave me my ticket.
I put my iPad on and said, 'I might as well kick it'.
First line of code... yo this is bad
Drinking Bawls Guarana out of a champagne glass.
Is this what the people of Fin-Land Living like?
Hmmmmm this might be alright.

But wait I hear there're prissy, xbox fanboys and all that
Is this the type of place that they should send this cool ps3 preferred cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the Max Payne of Fin-Land

Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like Aaron Greenberg standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get fired yet
I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared faster than Microsoft's NPD

I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said Xbox and it had Banjo Kazooie in the mirror
If anything I can say that this cab was RARE
But I thought 'Nah forget it' - 'Yo homes to Espoo'

I pulled up to the suite about 7 or 8
And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes flop ya later'
I looked at my desk
I was finally there
To beta test Alan Wake, I could tell this was gonna be the king of despair

Marquis_de_Sade5192d ago

finally something good comes to the crap box!!

mrdxpr25192d ago

this game looks very good but still have to wait fro final version.. but heavy rain still blows alan wake out of the waters.. this trailer for all we know is CGI and if MS says other wise and u beleive it u are an idiot since when is MS word reliable ??? 360 failure rate 1% when it really is 54%.. 360 is sold out and there is 360 available all over the place.. but hey it looks good

Anyways I can't believe how visually impressive Alan Wake, Brink and Metro 2033 is, they raise the bar for console games without a doubt.

I can't wait to see one of the final builds of Halo Reach and the newest build of the 360 version of Crysis 2.

EDIT

You are :P

TheTwelve5193d ago

You caught that too, Hockey?

The first car collision was definitely more realistic than the second. Second one made it seem like he had on invisible armor or something.

Rocco Siffredi5193d ago

I know you droids are very frustrated since 1st January 2010.

1. One flop after the other
2. Heavy Buttons also to flop in sales (60k pre orders, LOL, means that nobody cares about this game except the N4G droids, haha)
3. God of War 3 a game you can rent for 2 USD to play the 8 hours story (rofl)
4. Gt5 - the worst GT in the GT history.. a bad simulator with no DMG and 200 skyline + 150 civic variations.
5. 80% games need to be installed (but but but 50 GB disc space, LOL)
6. 1st day patch for 90% of the games (even uncharted2 got 4 patches already = beta games)
7. Playstation 3 - It only installs and patches everything
8. Play behind
9. Poor PSN with a childish online community (only 5 Million members.. i mean 24 Million is Sonys number but every PS3 droid has at least 2-3 accounts + PSN accounts)
10. Loser this Gen is already Sony. They lost 60 Million of their PS2 fanbase
11. Patch
12. Patch to fix the first patch
13. Final Patch to play online
14. Firmware updates which crash everything on your system
15. YLOD after firmware update
16. Broken Blu ray Laser after Firmware Update
17. Jasper: 2% failure rate
18. PS3 15% failure rate since the SLIM launch
19. Once again a firmware update, LOOOL
20. FLOP of the CENTURY

You are the saddest fanboy on earth.

Pro Tip: If you take this fake "console war" seriously, you might wanna go outside and think about life for a minute or two.

xTruthx5193d ago

Dang and i though "i did not murder him" was the blindest of all. This guy clearly top's him lol.

Trebius5193d ago

PS3 is getting bombarded with new games, while the 360 has to wait for 4 months in between any new game ... so either way PS3 wins.

Alan Wake should be a good game, just wish we could see an HD video and see what it really looks like...cause that shoddy quality of this one is annoying.

This may be a luigi's mansion copy, but at least it does it well ;)

morganfell5192d ago

No you don't. Then you could see the part that were cinematics and the in game parts that were covered in speedy movement and explosions.

starchild5192d ago

So that's your excuse, morganfel, for why this game looks better than any game on the PS3? I think you are reaching there. The game looks incredible and anyone with eyes can see it.

morganfell5192d ago (Edited 5192d ago )

Try rendering in broad daylight with a draw distance as in Uncharted.

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.

gigoran815d ago

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

Tacoboto14d 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

Knightofelemia15d 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.

Chocoburger15d 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? 🙄

Rynxie15d ago

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

15d ago
Profchaos15d 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.

Rynxie15d ago

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

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.
