I disagree, I wasn't really interested in the game but after watching the videos I am now.

dread9 said:Lighting is amazing, am I the only one a bit disappointed though? I expected much much more and it seems like they are using a lot more "tricks" to increase the feeling of scope and scale. I watched this while playing God of War 3 and it just didn't compare really.
bj00rn_ said:The game looks very promising indeed, great visuals too (although I spotted some minor flaws). But I don't agree with you that "THIS GAME IS FUCKING PERFECT! HOLY SHIT YES!". F.ex., I have some worries about the way the game is introduced with some suspense/progression issues. But of course; I'm not making a final judgement from a 10 minute youtube video.

We hate dithering and aliasing just as much as you I think. Hardware 4xAA on the Xbox360 is nice for a lot of things - it did take us a while to get the most out of it (E.g, refactoring the renderer quite a few times).
While playing Alan Wake on a Xbox 360, if the game framerate drops below 30 FPS we resort to screen tearing (same idea as Gears of War uses).

If they've played nothing but 360 games then yeah, they won't notice.Letters said:Like you guys would be able to tell the difference. Xbox integrated upscaler will do its job well as usual and noone will care after they start playing.

and i don't mean that in the way that you assholes probably assume. you guys need to reevaluate your hobby.
Alan Wake not just raising the bar for Xbox360 in term of visuals, its raising the bar for this whole generation. Technically and artistically, Alan Wake is shaping up to be the best looking game this generation. From the real-time projected shadows produced by the essential flashlight, the total absence of aliasing (720p 4x FSAA), the breathtaking realistic lighting effects (the best I have ever seen), the epic scale of the environments, SSAO (Screen Space Ambient Occlusion), the atmospheric effects to the vegetation which interacts with characters and wind, and the absent of screen tearing. Truly impressive stuff.
The best thing Sony did this gen is they let their first party devs to create games with one thing in mind: Taking full advantage of the PS3 power. Thats why we have been seeing PS3 exclusives looking better than Xbox360 games. Things are about to change now, as we are seeing games such as Alan Wake equaling or surpassing PS3 exclusives in term of visuals. And the most impressive thing is: Alan Wake is running on a $199 console with limited storage capacity (DVD9). It will be interesting to see what does Sony have up their sleeve at the upcoming E3.
The game is 720p. Those screenshots are based off footage captured at 960x540 like cocorenut pointed out, of course there will be some downsampling involved.
As has said before Videogameszone and Gamepro both released footage without approval and due to the fact that we don't know how many compressions their videos went through or what process they took it's best not to use those videos as sources.

Well done, soldier. Your check's in the mail. :lolDMPrince said:So there's a chance it might be 600p? that's good still. Let me leave. I'll get this game in a few months when it's $30
Wii gamers won't notice, most ps3 games don't look much sharper, and I've heard not a single pc gamer will buy this game due to raaaaaage.DMPrince said:If they've played nothing but 360 games then yeah, they won't notice.
Ok, it will be noticeable, but not a big deal to most people.WickedLaharl said:how in the hell could you not notice unless you're playing on an sdtv or partially blind? :lol

The 360 already has a game that one upped the PS3 but some of you wouldn't know about since you either have no pc to play the game on or want no business with a great console like the 360. Its name is Metro 2033,try it before running with the mouth about the 360.

Dare you say a game is lacking without a 12 page single spaced times new roman font thesis paper explaining how and why, else you are a troll. And if you are too critical, even with the thesis, you're still a troll if it's exclusive.

This is an Alan Wake thread, PS3 and PC have nothing to do with it.
It's like someone making a thread about Chicken and you're all talking about Beef. Go away.
