Alan Wake Looks To Be A Perfect Game

Alan Wake looks to be a perfect game. I know what some of you are going to say, so I will get it out there first.

"How in the heck do you know that Arc, are you freaking Nostradamus or something? You have not even played the game….jack@ss!" Okay now that you have that out of you system, let me explain why I would say such a thing.

[La Chance]

Perfect games dont exist. But some come close to perfection.

This seems to be one of them.

Only 2 more weeks before I can pop it into my 360.

[nightfallinicedearth]

Come on man let's be a little realistic here, it doesn't look even close to being a perfect game. I don't see any replay value in this at all. Even the map is a big waste of nothing, it looks boring.

[Tony P]

No game is good until you play it, let alone "perfect".

At the end of the day, all that really matters is how well the game does what it set out to do. And you can't know that till you play it.

But I will say AW seems to have had the funding and time to become the best translation of the dev's intent.

[Arnon]

Well Greywulf, if you knew that the resolution of a game is not indicative of it's overall technical beauty, then you wouldn't be saying such things. We've all seen Alan Wake gameplay. The game is gorgeous, and it's cutscenes are even better. That's something you cant spin.

By the way, Uncharted 2 was baby rated... err, rated T. I know you don't play it, as it's obviously a horrible game because of this rating, right? Nice edit there by the way, taking out "baby rated err... Rated Teen."

Would you like to cry moar? You only have 18 minutes to say anything else. Better hurry.

[corneliuscrust]

I love how you describe it as "sub [insert ps3 game here] resolution"

I mean it CANT be good if it has a lower resolution than a PS3 title, amirite?!?! I'm sure remedy is off crying somewhere because their game can't match the resolution of another game... WAIT none of those ps3 games have anywhere NEAR as high a resolution as PC games can pull on a good rig...Yet those ps3 games STILL look incredible... now we are in a pickle, aren't we

The end product will speak for itself. For better or for worse.

Good games are good games.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Greywul only stares at grahics all day long, he doesn't play them. That is why he bought a PC and doesn't play on his PS3 that has sub-par graphics compared to his PC!

That also explains why he is in a 360 article trolling!

Personally, I play the game not the graphics!!! Any other gamers that only play graphics, besides greywul?

[Rock Bottom]

How in the heck do you know that Arc, are you freaking Nostradamus or something? You have not even played the game….jack@ss!

[Hallmark Moment]

>Greywulf< is angry Alan Wake sets new visual standards on consoles. Using every trick in the book in the fanboy play book to no avail. I think he is >quaz51<

Alan Wake Korean game play
http://n4g.com/xbox360/News...

You will hear what I say in the reviews from reviewers not afraid of handing the crown back over to the 360 because of backlash.

[bjornbear]

LMAO x3

[Corepred4]

hallmark your something. no doubt blind but more than that. yes this game seems to be looking really good but is not setting visual standards on consoles, don't be retarded. Graphics crown? Really, lmao. I didn't think the 360 was even in the running anymore with the games ps3 is putting out on a regular basis now. Yeah it'll look good, but don't go overboard.

[DelbertGrady]

Alan Wake is perfect. FACT!(undisputable)

[darthv72]

to strive for perfection IS the flaw. Nothing is truly perfect except...the word "perfect"

[mittwaffen]

360 seems to have my genre's games all this year- badass system might be a little junky but the games sure as hell make it up, oh and live/XBLA ;)!

[PoSTedUP]

MGS4 is the most perfect game imo. so big, so much to do, so many guns, so epic. Mr. Kojima is the most brilliant man when it comes game development. (not my favorite developer though) but it is the truth as far as i know.

alan wake a perfect game? who knows, it hasn't released yet i don't think.

[DaTruth]

I don't know if it's perfect, but I want it! I have a birthday coming and maybe a 360, AW and Tenchu Z(one of my fave series) will do that fine.

Don't really need another console, but looks like I won't have a choice if I want to play these games!

It looks like the ball is in Sony's court to give me too many reasons(lots of games I want) to not get a 360. They haven't announced a fall lineup yet... Oh wait... 3DTV's and GT5 with 3D. Oh well!

[BYE]

Metal Gear Solid 4
Super Street Fighter 4
Mass Effect 2
Heavy Rain
Uncharted 2

Tough competition for Alan...

[Hallmark Moment]

HUH!? LOL Why would those games be competition for Alan Wake?

[Biggest]

"HUH!? LOL Why would Alan Wake be competition for those games?"

That is a valid question, Hallmark.

[PlainOldGamer]

Silent Hill Ripoff Makes Perfect Game Does Not.

[Consoldtobots]

it's obvious 360 fanboys won't shut up until they hear:

"Alan Wake is da bestezttt game evarrrrr"
"It's graphics are unparalleled"
"360 wins"

lets face it these kids have been writhing in pain at the ownage the PS3 has delivered and just want a bone thrown at them.

here fetch.

[Traveler]

If you think Alan Wake is a Silent Hill ripoff you are an ignorant moron and don't deserve to play games.

Alan Wake looks like one of the freshest experiences to come along for some time.

[vhero]

Wow this topic really shows who the 360 fanboys are and who are the ps3 fanboys doesnt it?? The obvious 360 fanboys are those who already say its perfect (soda etc..) and those who claim its gonna be the new graphics king without any REAL set of reviews (not 1 or 2) and the ps3 fanboys are those who wont shut up banging on about 540p.

Honestly though how the heck did this get approved?? (nm I get it 360 fanboys approved it) it ones guys opinion on a game and he's a nobody too... He hasn't played the game nor has he reviewed it. Pointless article that does nothing but cause flaimbait.

[corneliuscrust]

Same reason this got approved

http://www.n4g.com/xbox360/...

too many depraved fankids here on n4g x however many multiple accounts = ...one big pssing contest

both sides are just brutal to eachother.

I hope next generation changes and people stop this madness

[Army_of_Darkness]

"to strive for perfection IS the flaw. Nothing is truly perfect except...the word "perfect"

Lucky Pinder is Perfect.

[Christopher]

Anyone calling any game perfect before they've even played it is an idiot, let alone before the reviews are out.

[DevilsJoker]

No. No. No. It'll be good enough to warrant a purchase, no doubt. But it won't be perfect, what a silly thing to say.

[Old School Gamer1]

usually games i buy for the full 60 are goty type games, ex: gow3, mass effect 2, uncharted 2.ON TOPIC:seriously no game is perfect.

[AnttiApina]

Oh boy, I knew this would be here on N4G in no time.

Adds some more gasoline to the war.

[Inside_out]

...but, but it's dark...why is it so foggy....how come they don't walk around looking blind like our glorified (the sims) heavy rain... hold it, my custom pixel counter 2000 tells me it's a bad game...Why doesn't Alan Wake run around naked with a thong , wearing bear heads on his hands and fight 1600ft monsters, this doesn't seem realistic...you can't buy a flashlight like that in a store, I looked...I lived in Alaska, this doesn't look like Alaska...Why does Alan look like Indiana Drake....See that TV antenna, magnify it 500%, get close to the screen, cover one eye and hop up and down, see, it's doesn't look the best...I'm gonna borrow my friends 360 to play this, but I'm sure it's no good....Alan Wake has to much atmosphere and story...needs more cinematics and RTE's and less game play like UC2, GOW3 and MGS, see, PS3 wins again....My game has 256 people on line, what's that, A mic, communication is over rated.....and my favorite....Alan wouldn't need a flashlight if he had a PS3 move glowing dildo to show him the way....DUH....

Alan Amazing...May 18...Alan Awakes in a store near you...cheers...

[mp1289]

just making sure.

[PoSTedUP]

lol lol. + bubble.

[rezzah]

What is perfect gaming? For me it'd be those games that are known as a masterpeice, or that excel in that gaming genre. EXample of masterpeice is SOTC, and a game that excels in its genre is UC2 and only the first HALO.

[BeaArthur]

No game is perfect. Although I will rarely come across a game that I have absolutely no complaints about there is no perfect game. Something could always be improved.

[Fishy Fingers]

I guess the only way to get close to perfection is to have a game built for you, cater to what you like, remove what you dont, but even then unless you created said game yourself, your vision will always be 'tainted'.

Still, like with anything designed to sell or be successful, you need to tick the right boxes and hope the majority of it appeals to your respective audience. I think Alan Wake will do that, and thats all that matters.

The games I consider as close to perfection as gaming goes would be HL2 (single player) and CS:S (multiplayer) and I can still pick plenty of faults in each of those, and do so without being defensive I might add.

[Meryl]

a video i watched showed me how blurry this game was in movement, and the acting was horrible, it's not perfect...

[3sq]

and yet the so-called perfect game's running at 540p, LMAO.

[SlipperyMooseCakes]

Well I don't know if anyone read the whole "article", but the guy really is just talking out of his ass. He essentially is saying that because he normally only purchases and plays multiplayer FPS games, his preorder of Alan Wake shows that the game is near perfect. I am too excited for Alan Wake, but that doesn't mean too much. The marketing campaign has gotten you to pre order the game, but you still haven't played it. Something can look amazing and awesome when it is advertised, and then suck when you actually get your hands on it.

Having said that, I think Alan Wake will be an amazing game. The thing is, I could always be wrong.

P.S. How did this "article" get passed? It is pretty poor.

[DaTruth]

Random dude likes game! Perfect it is!

[Chucky2003]

i can't believe this joke of a blog of a 5years old kid has been approved

[BeaArthur]

If you don't like it you should become a contributor and report articles like this. Otherwise you have no room to complain.

[divideby0]

another kid who has internet access and thinks he/she can write and publish on the internet....
I so wish the standards of approving articles can be changed to stop trash like this.
this has NOTHING to do with the GAME..it has to do with the ARTICLE
if you think this is well written and substantiated you are part of the problem

[Bnet343]

Does anyone think if Alan Wake gets super good reviews, that Microsoft might buy them? I think it's a possibility and likely. Sony already got the Motorstorm guys and Media Molecule, it seems strange Microsoft hasn't picked anyone up.

[sashimi]

Microsoft don't buy studios they only close them, or buy them for their IP then close them.

[GAM3R7l]

...that a dev has to be FOR SALE, in order to be BOUGHT? Besides, for Remedy to function under the MS umbrella, they'd need a much bigger team than the current 50 people....which would mean MS restructuring and expanding the team via new hires and/or help from Lionhead, Rare, 343, etc. That would KILL Remedy, as we know it. Alan Wake has taken 5 years, but it's going to be amazing; that is all due to the detail and high standards of a small dev team.

All that being said...if it came to pass, it could still work, and be a good thing for MS.

[KingKionic]

Remedy have been independent for awhile .

I dont think thats going to change kigmal .

[Tony P]

It's not strange. It's MS's strategy to not develop the same strong 1st-party like Sony and Nintendo.

They feel they can depend on third-party partnerships, exclusive DLC, and developing XBL content. MGS and its various spokespeople (including boss Spencer) have said this repeatedly.

[DaTruth]

Do you really want Alan Wake 2: Alan awake, Alan Wake 3: Alan Wake up and Alan Wake: Wake boarding?

[Tony P]

Ah, the great "MS milks games" implication. It's a funny thing because it's pretty baseless. The *only* franchise they have with a significant number of releases is their *immensely popular* Halo.

I've posted some other well-respected franchises that see *more* releases than Halo and somehow escape accusations of miliking. Franchises like Metal Gear Solid. Surprising, right?

[divideby0]

wont even give the site a click

[evrfighter]

I wasn't going to but when I read your comment I did it for you

[tha_meat_beater]

keep hope alive bots

[TheXgamerLive]

S(sony) G(girls) S(sand) in V(vagina) club.

It really does my heart good to see you ladies come a running to post. I mean even with your cramps and all you you still find the strength to come in here and post. awww sweet.

I'm looking forward to the next posting of the SVSG

[Mr Remz]

Xgamer........did you come up with that all by yourself? cause it's the stupidest thing i have ever heard, but it's also not surprising coming from an xbox fanboy like yourself!!

[karan8624]

He stole it from South park, at least the sand in vag part

XBots arent that creative, you should know this by now

[ChrisW]

I see a lot of SV clubs on both sides. Xbots and Droids. But that's on other forums. Here at N4G, it's mostly Droids. You know it. The numbers show it. But it's sure is fun to read all of your witty remarks! So, sophisticated and eloquent.

[Consoldtobots]

not to mention he can't even keep the name straight

its SGSV not SVSG

EPIC FAIL

[ChrisW]

Just out of sheer idiotic curiosity. How are SVSG and SGSV different?

(Other than acronym order.)

[Nicholas Cage]

you cant judge a game based on graphics. remember gameplay is vital. and this looks really good.

[Hotel_Moscow]

that doesnt mean its good

[Dtoxz]

Of course it's perfect! It's the first NON FPS on the 360! Thats a first!! Lol! Now the bots have something else to play!

Hopefully it will actually be good. Maybe I'll rent it.

[GeoramA]

lol

Flamebait at it's finest.

[Hallmark Moment]

Not really. Thinking a game will be great is not flame bait. The only way this is flame bait is if you are a troll and offended games from the other camp are getting people excited.

[RayRay36]

I really got no bussiness commenting on this, becuase I dont own a 360. But thats one of the most fanboyish things Ive ever heard. Theres a big difference between great & perfect. Expecting greatness is natural when dealing with AAA exclusives, but perfection shouldnt even be spoken of in the gaming world. This is flame bait at its greatest.

[Dtoxz]

Even the God of War games (my absolute favorite) aren't perfect! This is just normal gaming hype. If you read the article, he hasn't even PLAYED it yet!

I bet it will be good but FAAAARRRRRRR from perfect.

[DreamRocket]

The days of wandering around in the dark with flashlights has past, the days of wandering around in the dark with the dead gods head helios is upon us and quite inovative lol.

[GeoramA]

Because fronttowardsgamer.com said so.

LOL

[Ares84PS3]

It's a 360 exclusive....

Yeah right.

[InstantKarma]

Of course,how could we be so foolish? This man is a genius.

/sarcasm

[Colonel-Killzone]

I only played 1 perfect game this generation which i have no complaints about and that is metal gear solid 4.

[NewZealander]

i almost agree with you about MGS4 being perfect, but theres three reasons i didnt quite make it for me.

cut scenes were a bit too long, mission briefings were boring.

installs after each level sucked.

and number 3, god i hope like hell this game gets trophies! i would love to play it again!

otherwise its still one of my fave games so far this gen, alan wake looks pretty special too, i love the setting and story, not long to wait now!

[GenghisKhan]

that's m$ MO (same with apple)

remmeber fable 2, failo warz, failo odlc and flopza 3 (all overrated by the biased media)

[bjornbear]

ever single gamer and person in the world will enjoy it equally?

or perfect as in...top technology never seen before

or perfect as in, its fun, and thats what matters?

i'm guessing the latter of the three

[Colonel-Killzone]

Perfect as in metal gear solid 4 for me not everyone else there is not no game on this earth that will please everyone. Everyone has their perfect game and if they don't have a perfect game then thats very sad lol.

[The Time Reaper]

No game is perfect. Kinda sad that people need to bash/defend a title they haven't even played.

[RazzLee]

How was this article defending or bashing? Can someone not hold a positive opinion of a game without it being an act of defense?

On another note: All the nerd-rage around here has put a smile on my face this morning. Thanks everybody!

[The Time Reaper]

Not the article, the talk back. I'm all for pre-release enthusiasm, even if the hyperbole can be a bit much.

[CryWolf]

Alan Wake is not a perfect game with its out of date graphics, only in 576P on a DVD thats not even High Definition quality, Survival horror games need to be more like Dead Space but Alan Wake doesn't evern come close to how dead space innovate the survival horror game genre.

[artsaber]

There is no perfect game. The only game I had no upfront complaints about so far is MGS4 (as Colonel-Killzone stated). Alan Wake does not have to be perfect to get the job done. But to insist that it may be such only leaves room for nitpicking.

It is already less than perfect. It is "technically" sub-HD, and a demo displayed some screen tearing. If those go unfixed, that alone is enough to disqualify it from so-called "perfect" status. But who cares. Just enjoy the damn game, we need a good looking spooky game this gen. Dead Space is getting lonely.

[TwistedMetal]

RED DEAD REDEMPTION is open world wester with tons of gameplay hours, side quest things to do and online bigger and better then gta4. if you liked gta dlc then rdr is gonna be even better. rockstar learned from gta4 and rdr is gonna be the best especially hunting online. Now why would i play let alone buy alan wake a full price when i got Read dead redemption over here with a refreshing western setting with fast and slow paced gameplay in the sunlight in a setting we dont see much of? I just got done playeing splinter cell convictions, why would i want to play anothere 50-10 hr slow paced sp only campain with inferior gunplay like alan wake?

believe me anything you thinking that alan wake has going for it actually is below bioshock 1 as far as emersion or whatever fake words people use to try and give a crap cheesy story game like this an edge. i need to wake up because im a writer lol. rental at best

[Colonel-Killzone]

Im saying for the single player of metal gear solid 4 i had no complaints about it what so ever it did 3 things for me 1 it was fun by far one of the best single player experiences in my life and 2 it was very fun and 3 it delivered what kojima promise which was a great ending for snake thats why i said metal gear solid 4 to me was the perfect game im not gonna sit here and bash alan wake since i have not played it. But there is such a thing called the perfect game everyone has there perfect game mines is metal gear solid 4 someone elses might be halo another person gears of wars etc its up to the person to say what there perfect game is its in their point of view and i should think for the first time on a article every person and every troll can agree on this.

[InstantKarma]

Ammmm...Anyone,you know might just assume it's a hyperbole? Maybe? <3 the flame war though

[prettyboy1]

and that is mgs4.this artical sounds like a kid wrote it. i mean seriously?he or she hasnt even played the damn game and thier callin it perfect?im sorry but judging from the videos ive seen so far the only thing im buying this game for is its horror like story.i love horror games.peace and gamming yall.oh and to anyone that hasnt read the artical dont

[RazzLee]

The author hasn't played the game and YOU haven't READ the article.

[Dnied]

before release, I thought Two Worlds was the perfect game..

jus sayin..

[AliTheBrit19]

Submit, go away for a few hours, come back @ 400 degrees

My lawd N4G is predictable, and every one of you clowns too haha

[Sir_Ken_Kutaragi__]

...even tho they haven't got the game yet!!! ;-D

[TheXgamerLive]

I don't like it when any reviewer does this, i'll be it it's going to probably get these scores anyways, but to be 100% they need to play the finished game first, this goes for any and all consoles/PC games. Some seem to come out early just for hits I think.

wow, i believe I just felt the ground shake, must of been due to the misalignment of sides. ha ha ha:)

[karan8624]

Oh wait

[AngryTypingGuy]

Don't a lot of the bigger magazines get an advanced copy for review? I have no idea whether you're right or wrong to be perfectly honest, but how do you know that they don't have the game yet? Did they say that?

[Obama]

After SCC failed to be AAA and beat mgs4 I thought bots would be a bit more cautious claiming certain game to be a masterpiece.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Just get this GOTY on teh PC droids :D

[karan8624]

Waste of disk space

Why would I want the gay of the year anyways?

[ChrisW]

Because you got it last year! Uncharted 2!

[EDIT]
Ooooh... you said "gay" of the year! Ooops! LOL! I didn't mean to...

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Well one thing is for sure that this game holds the graphics crown for this gen so far.

[tripewire]

Lol. Idiot.

[Dtoxz]

and the PC version will be better as always. Go troll XBL jason.

[air1]

funny, you can tell apart all the kids that just started gaming this gen...

with comments like its sub hd, its on a dvd, and the newest new comer of all with the comment scc failed. its just so easy to pick you guys out.

if its all about graphics, what kinda disc its on and what games failed then please tell me wtf happened to kz2? cause that sure as hell failed. but why? its graphics is top notch its on a blu ray disc so why is it that the devs that made the game the only ones playing it?

[karan8624]

Did you even play the damn game?
It was awesome! People didnt like how chaotic it was, but most (like me) loved that. Thats like a real (WW2) game (Which it was modeled after). Explosions everywhere, 32 players running around, dont know where shots and explosions are going to come from, where snipers are hidden invisible, where you're teams defense (And teams actually had a spawn, so everyone was pretty muched forced to work together and defend) was going to get breached and the enemy was going to pour in

It was INTENSE

[air1]

not only did i play it but i actually bought the game beat it then traded it in like almost every one else did...

all the game had going for it was the graphics thats why most ppl got over so quickly. and wtf was up with that weak as$ story? and the guns! wtf? im on another planet that looks like earth with modern warfare type guns. weak!

[The_Zeitgeist]

To me this is the one game that makes me want to go out and buy a 360. Don't get me wrong or anything, I'd love to be able to finally try Gears, and Mass Effect (not big on Halo though) but this game is the one game that is really making me want to throw down on a 360.

[Thoreau]

was not as elite as me but he has played kz2. i dont agree with him, i liked kz2.

as for alan wake, if this game was on the ps3, most of the gaming media would be jumping all on it for that low azz 540p resolution. i will rent it and judge from that point

[air1]

lol.... you liked it i didnt, im cool with that...

you ppl have got to jump off this res bandwagon already seriously.. 540p 360p what ever the game looks mighty fine end of story i cant believe all the doubt you guys have towards this game as if remedy is a nobody.

i still dont understand your tag and the lack of fight night ill show you who is a real heavens boxer. i cant get into teken 6 im tired of fighting games thats like the 1 genre that has been stagnant for ever something needs to change in fighting games already..

[tripewire]

Lol. Are you people really this gullible?

[nygamer28]

dude thats his opinion...if you dont like it STFU

[tripewire]

An opinion based on nothing, valiantly defended and supported by the same deluded crowd as always. As a dual console owner I'd prefer MS release the perfect game, rather than simply release a good game and hype it as the second (or first, if that's how you swing) coming of Christ.

[tiamat5]

I just watched a version of it on X-play. So far the visuals don't look that spectacular, the camera moves terribly and it already looks too dark and foggy for anyone to see anything. Also what looks like your A.I. partners didn't seem to be very helpful in the fight. Now maybe I am wrong, seeing I was just looking and not playing the game but I would have to predict that this will be an okay game but won't be GOTY. After all Alone in the Dark was supposed to revelutionize the action horror genre too but fell flat on it's face

[AutoCad]

The more i read about Alan Wake the more im tempted to buy a 360..
Anyone know about a price cut in the pipes.?

[Claudinho69]

how in the world can u say that a game you havent even played a demo of it is lookin to perfect?....

[Biggest]

Easy! Watch this, bro.

Killzone 4: Halo Wars Edition is the best game ever made. It is the perfect video game. It has the best graphics, best story, best animations, best lighting, and the best red elephant in the history of video games. If you don't agree with me, you're obviously a hater or a moron.

[keysy420]

what are you expecting to be coming from this game its gonna be a good story and a guy witha flashlight people are tripping just like the splinter cell hype yes its a good game but its not ground breaking its visual show that he 360 isnt the powerhouse it should be. there are other games that will push this gen forward more than flashlight scary guy

[newmemphis]

I can't believe I spend my valuable 5 minutes reading this stupid article. I want my 5 muniteus back.

[TheStonedSheep]

Seriously, some of you guys need to take a chill pill, he's just expressing his opinion.

[Meryl]

I am waiting to see how much sales this games gets normally anything that is not a shooter get's neglected on x360, I wonder if Remedy will do the PC version later if this does not do well, you do not waste 4 years for mediocre sales

[fullmetal297]

We'll see when this game is released and the reviews come in. Although I believe Alan Wake is going to be one of the best games ever for the 360, it probably would be considered "perfect" for me. The games that qualify are half-life 2 and super mario brothers.

[chickenlegs9]

morning,i just watched the harvester of sorrow video on eurogamer,and to be fair from that video of gameplay looks far from perfect,the graphics look above average,but nothing groundbreaking...another massivly over hyped game then,great...

[Gamescares]

It staggers me what half arsed, badly written articles make it to the top of this site.... *sigh*

Anyhoo.... No matter what people are saying this game is going to be awesome, and you all knows it!

[xg-ei8ht]

No game is perfect, as others have stated, some get close.

But as long as YOU enjoy it, does it really matter.

1080p does not mean the game is good.

It could have less shading,less texture,less aa,less everything, and it could be a poor game.

I think the game looks good, but i'd like to see alot more of it, and may pick it up.

But no game is perfect.

They all have their little niggles.

[realill]

Characters Animation is far from perfect in this "perfect" game.

[ReBurn]

I wonder why this is the game that so many people love to hate?

[Biggest]

The "hate" balances out all of the extra "love" I would presume. It doesn't help that a lot of the "love" turned out to be inaccurate.

[Funky Town_TX]

There is no way the 360 can have good games. Look at how bad the games sell on that console. That was sarcasm.

[5tgyw3ty34]

ya, perfect hype game

[iOmegaSeriousi]

well perfect example is god of war 3 everybody said that was a perfect game and came up to be average so i dont believe this until i play the game.

a game dont need a full 1080p to be good, the important thing is the gameplay and the storyline, example, splinter cell conviction, the graphics are not that great, compare to uncharted but the gameplay is so damn addicted and the story too so lets not judge the game til we play it

[Apolloeye]

/thread

[only on playstaychun]

Since I doubt the author has played Uncharted 2 to the full extent, I am having a hard time believing what I just read...

[Jikla]

No game is perfect. There will always be flaws in a game.

[AliC]

A game is good on many grounds, graphics alone are not a deciding factor.

[bunfighterii]

Most people here read the headings, get happy or angry then respond in the comments without reading the attached articles- or that's at least the impression I get.

There's clearly a nuance of tongue in cheek in this title.

And I happen to agree that a great story goes a long way to making a game. If Wake delivers on that I'll be happy to play it.

[RazzLee]

FINALLY! Someone with a sense of nuance! It's sad that I'm so shocked by a mature comment like this but that's the internet for you. Very well said.

[asgharagha]

i hate sub hd games ..its not ps2 times
