There's a bullet shaped hole in my wallet where my next video card should be.

 

[Nerevar]

I know its been said before, but I'm amazed at how fast computer components are outpacing even the next-gen consoles for this generation of games. Granted, the costs are insane, but its impressive nonetheless.

DUAL CORE 2 QUAD = 8 CORES.

WHO NEEDS SPEs. :lol

Yeah...and who needs $2,000+ disposable income?

This is the Xbox360's Afrika.

What the **** is it!???

If we don't have concrete details about gameplay after XO6, I'm going to have to hurt myself.

360's Afrika. :lol :lol :lol

Afrika can't be used in a serious manner anymore. :lol

 

[cicero]

You're free to check my post history. It's the antithesis of what you say.

Why you only speak bad to PleoMax? No speak bad, speak good.

 

[Kittonwy]

Looks awesome, cant wait to see it in motion.

EDIT: Oh, PC version lol...

QUAD CORE OVERCLOCKED? How the heck is anyone going to run that thing? Looks good though. Love the lighting.

what do you mean what is it? the write-ups from E3 2005 explain the whole premise.

Not much on the actual gameplay though.

 

[Rated R]

I ****ing knew it!! From the first shot of this game i had Superme Confidence, Remedy in one of my Favorite developers and Max Payne 2 has the best VG story IMO.

I CANNOT ****in Wait for this game. I dont care what the genre turns out to be, Remedy has all my confidence.

 

[disappeared]

Beautiful.

 

[arne]

FINE.

tough crowd.

 

[tegdf]

looks ****ing awesome, can't wait to learn more about it tomorrow and thursday

 

[Goreomedy]

FINE.

tough crowd.

Hisssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.

 

[Core407]

FINE.

tough crowd.

I'm guessing the wait will be worth it. When I look at the screens of Alan Wake, it reminds me of Agartha.

"During the winter of 1929 in a Romanian village that was partially destroyed by a landslide that occurred during a mysterious earthquake, a subterranean city exists called Agartha. This is where evil is being kept prisoner and is desperate to escape. Kirk the human hero will encounter a series of characters from villages, the living dead, fanatics from an evil sect, monsters, demons, solider monks, priests, archangels and the Sentinel who is the ultimate personification of evil. As Kirk you can decide to save as many innocent people as possible or to trigger the arrival of chaos on earth. As Kirk's morals waver between good and evil, this ambiguity changes the aims of the adventure and the narration of the story."

 

[Der Kommisar]

Needs more...

Dammit Remedy, why'd you have to sell the rights? ;_;

They ran out of metaphors and analogies for Max to use.

 

[MegaTen]

downgrade

:lol It looks much improved, I think. Especially the new(the face, at least) character model.

 

[Core407]

"Markus also revealed that one whole core is used for physics calculations, and we saw a hurricane tear up the in-game world in a rather realistic fashion as illustration."

So there's going to be a hurricane. Cool

Is the 360 version going to look and run as well as the PC version?

 

[Az987]

I really cant wait for this game. I bet it would be really ****ing creepy, as the dream sequences in Max Payne scared the crap outta me. :lol

 

[Snaku]

They ran out of metaphors and analogies for Max to use.

Impossible! I write noir fiction, and Remedy hasn't even come close to the bottom of that barrel.

"Markus also revealed that one whole core is used for physics calculations, and we saw a hurricane tear up the in-game world in a rather realistic fashion as illustration."

So there's going to be a hurricane. Cool

I hope so. Nothing like a hurricane to turn a bad situation into a horrible ass-****.

 

[RevenantKioku]

My brain just keeps trying to process the title into something that makes sense, like "All in Wake" or some such.
Ergo, I hate it.

 

[fortified_concept]

Needs more grass.

 

[Servbot #42]

Not much on the actual gameplay though.

imagine : silent hill + using cars + max payne dream sequences

then maybe you can have an idea of how this game will play out.

That would explain why there's nobody around. The town was evacuated.

Then maybe you have an idea of what you just did.

[Mark Gonzales]

I'm so glad I upgraded my PC a while back I'll be playing this Bioshock and Half-Life episode 2 on my pc and get my RPG fix with Rogue Galaxy and Final Fantasy XII . I'll officially step step into "next gen" when Mass Effect drops along with a 360 price . Then I just have to be paitent and wait for some heavy hitters on PS3 to come out. Hopefully by Christmas 2007.

A. Wake

The main character is in a comma and has to find his way through a dream world on his way to regaining his consciouness!!! OMG!

 

[mckmas8808]

Damn that looks nice.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Remedy has coded the engine to take advantage of quad-core processors - the engine scales as you move from single to dual to quad.

Hot.

Whoa...wait a second, how the **** does a grown man fit in a comma?

Some (4 minutes) footage from the quad core press event:
http://mfile.akamai.com/28603/wmv/i...com/10670//idf/event3/092606_pso/pso_high.wmv

Alan Wake part starts at ~16:00. Wow. Just Wow. If they can do that on Xbox 360, I'm impressed. I tried to get some info about that from one of the developers on IRC but he couldn't say nothing, at least not yet. :lol He's just hinting that Xbox 360 has 6 threads...

Ps. they're playing it on PC with an xbox 360 controller

edit: fixed

 

[Uncle]

He's just hinting that Xbox 360 has 6 cores...

Probably means threads.

[biased voice] The animations sucks. [/biased voice]

Looks amazing.

haha. I hope this game has NO dream sequences. You just brought back bad Max Payne memories. "waaahhaa wahahhahaa" I can still hear that crying baby.

 

[op_ivy]

best graphics ever. wow

 

[Uncle]

That video looked really nice (with the exception of Alan's running animation). But damn the finnish accent is hard to decipher.

 

[Proelite]

best graphics ever. wow

x06 is going to own TGS in terms of wows, I predict.

 

[clashfan]

Amazing looking game. Sounds kind of like Silent Hill/Alone in the Dark. I'm just hoping the 360 versions looks just like the PC version.

 

[Moderation Unlimited]

Needs more grass.

Wait, so this is Alan Wake running on an overclocked, quad-core, probably dual-gpu weilding monster pc?

I hope those shots' fidelity transfer over into the console space.

 

[mckmas8808]

That video looked ****ING GREAT. The lighting was on point like a mother.....

Didn't you hear? Alan Wake is a game about an FBI agent who is investigating the murders of everyone else around him. That's why he's alone. The huge twist is that he's the killer and the game ends with him possessing himself. ^_^
