OMG .....

It looks sick...

Lfmesquite6185d ago (Edited 6185d ago )

Something like Silent Hill, but instead it's a writer dude who goes on vacation to some small town and his tales turn into reality.

It looks like it's a great story full of suspense and mystery. It's probably also inspired by some great suspense and horror movies like Misery and The Ring. Should be a great game.

green6185d ago (Edited 6185d ago )

It really looks amazing and it seems to have a very creepy atmosphere to it.I would like to see some day time gameplay footage of the game.

EDIT: You have to take into account that this game is open world when judging the graphics, that's why everyone praises the look of the game so much.

sonarus6185d ago

This could very well be the greatest survival horror game of this gen. It has all the elements that scream awesome game. I love what they are doing with the lights and i want this game.

As far as graphics go though i can't say with a straight face that this is the best the 360 has to offer. I don't even think it looks better than splinter cell. The visuals aren't anything to get excited about but the gameplay looks ace

FrozenFrag6185d ago

Woah there, dont knock the graphics yet. They've got a year of development time left.

sonarus6185d ago

The graphics are great no doubt but they don't stand out enough to warrant any excitement imo. They have had like 4yrs development time. Most of what we saw was at night. Day time footage may show better graphics

green6185d ago

Pls can you point out which OPEN WORLD game/games on consoles in you opinion look better than Alan Wake?

raztad6185d ago

Game looks decent. I'm much more impressed with LP2 than this one. Smart use of darkness, gameplay-wise it's like Silent Hill. The whole "can kill ghost with a gun" is a bit wth?

Regarding the open-world-ness, I want to see something under the sunlight. Dark environments can be used to hide popins and the technical hurdles a game of this genre needs to solve. Besides that, there is very few happening around.

Game13a13y6185d ago

kind of reminds me of RE 4. love the atmosphere.

Single handed demolishes all anti-xbox guys' assumptions that the Xbox 360 couldn't compete graphically anymore.

Looks unbelievable.

Model6185d ago

alan wait is well known for his acid trips as shown in the picture

ShabzS6185d ago (Edited 6185d ago )

beautiful

Edit@ below:

yah thank god they're using it ... its been pretty much absent for this whole generation... i couldnt believe my eyes when fear 2 ddint have any ... even bioshock 2 doesnt doesnt seem to have any ... so far this gen valve has really used a lot of dynamic shadows with l4d and orange box

Model6185d ago

yeah dynamic shadows...never to be seen before

Syronicus6185d ago

Nice concept. Glad to see the game is coming along. I will say that much of the game thus far looks good but it makes me wonder what the full game in terms of open world will be like. It's a small town and not a city and a free roaming forest is not all that much to have fun with. Makes me wonder what other settings will be in the game to truly demonstrate the open world aspect. Games like inFAMOUS and GTA4 have intense surroundings that might explain a lower poly count int he characters but with this game being set in the woods and in a small town, there would naturally be no reason for a low poly count in the characters.

sonarus6185d ago

I am yet to see anythin "open world" about alan wake

Syronicus6185d ago

It's been widely known that AW is going to be open world. Just google it.

Jinxstar6185d ago (Edited 6185d ago )

Look the game looks good. If it's true this is the 360 version and not the PC version then thats great. I do agree with sonarus. I have yet to see anything "open world" about it. Please link green or syronicus. It looks about as open world as uncharted was. It's not that I don't believe you I have just yet to see it. I mean silent hill was "open world" in a lot of ways but not in the same way at all as GTA or infamous or Crackdown.

really duh6185d ago (Edited 6185d ago )

Alan Wake looks amazing and its a good sign that 360 games are starting to cause PS3 fans to troll even more on a whole new level. I think this game bothers people because its open world and looks better then Heavy Rain.

menoyou6185d ago

Looks like a great game. I'm really sad that they dumbed down the graphics for 360 though. I was hoping to get a visually amazing game on the PC.

u got owned6185d ago

The game is looking top notch. Seems interesting, must buy for all x360 and PC owners.

KRUSSIDULL6184d ago

Fable 3 would look awsome with this engine :)

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.

gigoran8755d ago

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

jznrpg167d ago

People sometimes call Wal-Mart Wally World including myself

Tacoboto754d 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

Knightofelemia755d 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.

Chocoburger755d 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? 🙄

Rynxie755d ago

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

Profchaos755d 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.

Rynxie755d ago

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

Asplundh755d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.
