I thought that their general method was to have the actual game on-hand and running in their machines to perform their inspection method using their own captures? Was under the assumption that, because this isn't something in a current DF article, this was just someone looking at someone else's video capture.WickedLaharl said:

The devs said those shots are released against the rules. That might mean before an embargo, or it might mean they literally aren't supposed to be shown to the public because they're not the final product.
They've been advertising 720p for quite a while, so I'm willing to believe it until we get more proof.
I find the game gorgeous, regardless of the resolution, and it's still among my top 5 best-looking console games (or, at least, it will be judging from all we've seen).
Though it will be slightly disappointing if it's sub-HD. I was planning on buying an HDTV this summer and using Alan Wake to break it in.

That is why I am disappointed at what he just did. And for some reason he didn't analyse the previously released videos.MightyHedgehog said:
Normally, they wait for official video but somehow its as if he wants the game to be sub-hd.
Anyways the resolution of his analysis is the same resolution of the video so it is better to wait for official analysis from B3D and DF. The developers just stated that the res IS 720p, as such any sub-hd compression is from the site hosting the videos.
MazingerDUDE is doing this resolution analysis for a long time and I don't think he is biased or something but using a video like that is immature. I don't think Remedy lies about something like this and throw their reputation and credibility out of the window, it's not something you can hide.
@MazingerDUDE did you see the Japanese shots that have HUD on them can you analyze those?

Woke this morning and uh oh, I see a scandle is upon us :lol

Not really fussed what res it is tbh as long as it runs smooth, it has 4xMSAA anyway, I'd rather that than HD and no AA.
The thing I love though and this seems to be the case even with some enthusiasts on here is that they are completely happy with what they see until they are actually told it is sub HD, if you have to be told then why care?

lowrider007 said:
Exactly. No-one cared what the res was before they were told, it was all 'looks amazing' and 'great lighting'. Then they have to have it pointed out to them and suddenly it's all 'fuck you Remedy!' If they didn't notice before why do they give a shit now? Pixel counting is one of the most depressing things I generally see on this board to be honest.

but it does not look like running smooth, sub 30fps when the action hits and double tearing across the screen. the upscaling makes the 4XMSAA looks too aliased if it is not encoding problems. running a pc game at 720p and 4XMSAA, item edges should not have that many stairs stepping effects. it would be matter on those 40-60" HDTV that so many americans have! at neogaf and avsforums i am still shock at how many own large screen HDTVs! :lol

Well said games look quite a bit different to stuff that came out 3 or so years ago, which was very clean and static in comparision. Newer titles got alot of SFX, post-processing, depth of field, etc. and that stuff eats up resources.
A good example is visual differences between Double Agent and Conviction. Same engine essentially too.

I don't see why a community manager would lie about the native resolution. Get over it haters.

i'm sure it will be a great game and i can't wait to play it but presentation is part of the experience and if there is visual flaws like sub-hd and screen tearing then i'm gonna let my disappointment be known.
i'm praying for a miracle here that mazingerdude jumped the gun and is wrong (sorry man!).

Bioshock is developed by Remedy now ? Also, I thought that Bioshock PS3 was upgraded to native 720p after the patch ?
Anyway, there's a lot of other videos out there, why this dude actually chose the one that is supposed to be low-res ? Why not trying counting on a 720p video ?

ADM is the community manager who said 720p
http://forum.alanwake.com/showpost.php?p=68521&postcount=10
and MarkusRMD is the development director, he said 720p here
http://forum.alanwake.com/showpost.php?p=67334&postcount=595
So it's not just the manager now, if this actually does turn out to be sub HD than this is the developers lying to us too, but then again it's very much likely that the sub HD thing is in-fact attributed to the shitty video and the actual game will not be sub HD.
LordPhoque said:
Lying is stupid and makes no sense because there are a lot of people that will pixel-count the game once it's in their hands.
To be honest the sub-HD screengrabs look too blurry that it's kinda hard to believe that Remedy will release such a high-profile exclusive game based on a brand new engine running at 960*540 when they have many times said that they are proud about being able to make the game run at 720p w/4xAA.
Of course if it's indeed 540p it will be a very big disappointment mainly because they were lying all this time.

it's a community manager, not a developer. how many of them do you think actually know what the framebuffer is?LordPhoque said:
i don't think anyone is saying it's a lie, more like someone not really knowing wtf is going on and sticking with what they think they know.

Why the fuck indeed .. the ADM guy was pretty adamant that the video should not be considered a proper source in his comment.
Even the Filename should give it away, I mean, come on.Jigsaw said:

Aren't those screenshots from VideoGamesZone.de?
But to be honest, I couldn't care less whether or not the game runs at 720p or 547p or whatever resolution, because it still looks good. And before those pixel-count screenshots show up, lots of people admitted that this is one of the prettiest games this generation. And suddenly there's the whole meltdown about "omg, it's sub-HD? Oh no!!" :lol
However, if the game really runs at 547p, then I would be disappointed at Remedy for lying to us

Are we talking about www.videogameszone.de screengrabs ? Because all the screengrabs there are 720p, God of War III, Uncharted II and etc.
