Alan Wake "The Dark Vs. Light" Hands-On Impression | Just Push Start

"Before I started playing Alan Wake, I had no idea what kind of experience I was going to get. From the looks of the screen-shots, and videos that were previously released, it felt like it was going to be just another survival-horror game. Today, I managed to run through the first episode of Alan Wake, and my initial impression? It already gave me the chills by just watching the opening scene. Without spoiling anything of the story in the intro of the game, Alan Wake reminds me of Silent Hill; dark & creepy. If you're a fan of any Silent Hill game, you will feel some nostalgia when you first play the game; after that, it's a totally new experience." - Just Push Start

But your websites background is Alan Wake, so credibility is an issue here.

that's just promotion for any new games coming out. I think they had SplinterCell conviction bout 2weeks ago.

If you read >Cylon's< posts you will find him to be a 360 hater. They're running out of excuses.

Back to the article.
I think the character models are on par if not better than any other game in this genre. I'm glad to hear the game is shaping up to be top notch, I did not know about the light and Alan Wakes health.

omegaheat5152d ago

Exactly what game or games was he comparing Alan Wake to? "Alan Wake’s graphics can be considered as good in some way. The environments and the lighting of the game are phenomenal but when it comes to the character models, it doesn’t look that good". That quote made no sense at all. I think even the most biased viewer would acknowlege Alan Wake's character models as some of the best out there. Why the hate?

Hallmark Moment5152d ago

Yeah I got that to, it seems like he did not want to admit the game's quality to the fullest. He tried very hard to squeeze in some hate for Alan Wake but at the same time not wanting to look like it was forced because the average gamer would know he is full of it by reading previews or looking at the game.

Biggest5152d ago

Do you know what would REALLY show this guy how crazy he is for not noticing how Alan Wake is on par with the best? Comparisons. Let's get some of those going.

Hallmark Moment5152d ago

Poor >biggest< he's been hating hard in Alan Wake articles. Don't get so worked up over 360 games it's not good for your health.

Biggest5152d ago

You don't think a comparison of video game character models would be the best way to decide that the Alan Wake character models are in fact as good or better than any other video game character models? This line of thinking confuses some people I see.

LOL, sorry I had to pull that quote out!

-End statement

clintos595152d ago

And your going to complain just because he stated the obvious. He even states the game looks phenomenal which based on gameplay videos & screenshots hes not lying. I actually thought that the game looked amazing but u can see that alan himself isnt the best of character models weve seen in a game but he also aint the worst looking character model either. He looks good enough for me to not even care about how he looks.

Just be happy the game looks amazing & looks to be my type of game since silent hill was creepy as hell. Hope AW scares the sh!t out of me, I miss playing scary games like this. Cant wait to play this, should be creepy & fun at the same time.

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.

gigoran850d ago

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

Tacoboto49d 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

Knightofelemia50d 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.

Chocoburger49d 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? 🙄

Rynxie49d ago

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

Profchaos49d 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.

Rynxie49d ago

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

Asplundh49d 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.
