Crackdown 2, Left4Dead 2, Forza MotorSport 3, Alan Wake.

Daaaaamn, that some heavy sh*t.

AAA EXCLUSIVE6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Microsoft Game Studios and Remedy raised the bar.

I don't expect anything to top this game this E3.

Phenomenal Visuals. Check
AAA Budget. Check
AAA developer behind it. Check
Excelent Music. Check
Interesting setting, characters and story. Check.

I predict a metascore of 95+, 2 million copies sold on its first week, and the beginning of a new classic franchise.

Semideux6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Sweet baby Jesus. This game is definitely the next big thing.

And the visuals, My God.

pharmd6115d ago

Looks very vibrant and colorful... last game i played that looked that vibrant and colorful was Uncharted, and we all know how great that game was...

of course graphics dont always equal great gameplay, BUT this does look like a lot of fun, good story line too!

alot of potential here... could be great!

menoyou6115d ago

It's a good game but I was hoping for something more. And you can tell they lowered the graphics to get it running on the 360. That's a shame. I was hoping to get a gorgeous looking game for PC.

The General6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Where are the awesome graphics the 360 owners were bragging about? This could have lunched with the Xbox 360. If I do get this game, it'll definitely be for the PC because I thought the graphics would be awesome but the 360 version definitely disappoints.

Microsoft E3 to be honest was pretty soft and the Biggest announcement was Metal Gear Raiden? A multiplayer game? Lol. Ok.

Can't wait for Sony's presentation because thanks to Microsoft my jaw still hasn't dropped.

I want to see how Really Duh spins the dampened down graphics.

inFamous >>>> Crackdown 2

Cwalat6115d ago

Without a doubt one of the greatest games of 2010, but as far as surprises go... nothing new that i didn't know already before the conference.

...The only surprise being the amount of focus put into the Natal project, undoubtatelly a better version of Eyetoy... (muuch better version) ... but i gotta ask, when will we see it?

All Time Greatness6115d ago

haha Seriously 2009 and especially 2010 are gonna be amazing

2009-

Splinter Cell - AAA Franchise
Forza 3 - AAA Franchise
Halo 3 ODST- AAA Franchise
Left 4 Dead- AAA Franchise
GTA DLC- AAA Franchise
Crackdown2??? Probably 2010
2010

Alan Wake
Mass Effect 2
Halo Reach - Can't wait!!!
Gears of War 3 probably
Lost Planet 2
Crackdown 2

Milo looked awesome!!! Can't wait!

I'm so stoked for these games, they all looked so good. Alan Wake is going to be cutting edge, looks like a Stephen King movie in real time. Gaming FTW!

GameGambits6115d ago

I own all 3 consoles, and in terms of Alan's competition it's Heavy Rain on PS3. I can safely say this looks more interesting to PLAY than Heavy Rain which they are trying to tip toe around is nothing but quick time events.

It's a shame it's still so far away, but at least it will be something to look forward to. :)

My favorite GAME announced by Microsoft was Splinter Cell Conviction. It looked like it would be a BLAST to play. Followed by Metal Gear Rising of course.

Projet Natal though blew me away. :)

cmrbe6115d ago

it was a great show from MS.

I didn't expect Crackdown 2 and L4D 2. Froza and Alan wake was a given. MGSR was a bit of a surprise but i kinda knew that Kojima would develop a game for the x360 fanbase.

Alan Wake graphics are OK. They looked very good 3 years ago but now it dosen't wow me that much anymore. I will dust off my PC for this game and Crysis 2.

RememberThe3576115d ago

I'm looking forward to Conviction and ODST, for this fall on my Xbox 360.

Anon19746115d ago

Still, my 360 is going to be pretty dusty by that time. I thought E3 was supposed to be the event where Microsoft came out with all the games for 2009. For me I'll probably buy the Halo expansion but that will be a year from the last 360 game I bought - Gears 2.

Man I miss 2007. That was a good time to be a 360 gamer.

bozobucketeer6115d ago

@1.4 You must be full of magic if you can tell they lowered the graphics to play it on the xbox from a low def video. I wish I was you so bad.

soljah6115d ago

hope this alan wake is not another

atari alone in the dark

5 years in development? is this silent hill meets siren?

staub916115d ago

However, I don't understand how people are going crazy over the graphics of the game. I personally think uncharted 2 looks better as well as killzone 2.

I'm going to buy this game, but this doesn't seem to be the game of the century that people make it out to be.

Jaces6115d ago

Visuals are pretty good, nothing mind blowing but the game itself looks GREAT!

Aww man, I can't wait.

AKNAA6115d ago

Looks good! But... this and nothing else I've seen so far has surpassed the Graphics of the uncharted 2 gameplay video that we've all seen already.

The people disagreeing with you need to get their eyes checked, or learn to appreciate games on consoles they don't own. Either way, you speak the truth, lets hope the game is fun as well.

sedx6115d ago

alan wake stole the show.. this is a title that ps3 owners would want ... not metal gear rising

6115d ago
Trebius6115d ago

It's definitely a title PS3 owners would want to play. The PC version is going to be much better im sure, since the 360 version seems dumbed down. After all the talk I was expecting graphics that surpass everything else on the 360...but it's nothing new.

Should be an interesting game.

Chubear6115d ago

... you guys are delusional

yoghurt6115d ago

What happened to the graphics?!

AAA EXCLUSIVE6115d ago

They improved them in every single possible way.

6115d ago
The General6115d ago

"They improved them in every single possible way."

That's not saying much. Did you watch the same trailer I watched? Are your goggles clean?

And this proves the best the 360 can do? Hilarious. We'll see after Sony's presentation.

RememberThe3576115d ago

The game looked fantastic. And your asking if he's blind?

This and Splinter Cell looked freakin great.

Stop hatin. It's not becoming of you.

All Time Greatness6115d ago

Not only do the graphics look amazing bu the storytelling/gameplay looks SICK!!!

Gonna be huge, get ready! :D

green6115d ago (Edited 6115d ago )

Can you show me an open world game on any console that looks better than Alan Wake?

A Late Look: Alan Wake

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "All in all, it’s not hard to see why Alan Wake has received a bit of a cult following (there’s that famous foreshadowing again). It’s a title that blends themes and gameplay, while pushing the limits of storytelling by putting stories within stories and letting you read those stories before you get to that part in… the story. It has flaws, to be sure - the gameplay side can’t quite keep up with the rest of its ambitions - but overall it’s a great game that stands out among its peers and is undeniably… one for the books."

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.

gigoran8683d ago

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

jznrpg95d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto682d 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

Knightofelemia683d 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.

Chocoburger683d 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? 🙄

Rynxie682d ago

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

683d ago
Profchaos683d 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.

Rynxie682d ago

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

Asplundh682d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
