Jesus, I think this thread needs to be split like the Metro 2033 one was.

he's not a troll, he's just very interested in tech. even as a console only gamer i like his posts because there's no bias, just tech facts. i guess when the facts put your hyped game/system of choice in a negative light you're going to see it as trolling though.Qwerty710710 said:He's just a troll who is probably a ps3 fanboy or a bitter pc fan. Ignore this goon. Wow so much shit for resolution Jesus Christ I wonder if you people have girlfriends.

nilam01 said:I'm glad they finally gave us an answer. So the game is rendered subHD to facilitate all the various layers of postprocessing, which is fine by me. Light, darkness and mood play a key role in the gameplay so the game would fall into pieces if it didn't have all the postprocessing. An example of that would be this
No postprocessing
Various layers of PP included

Shogun PaiN said::lol What a load of utter bullshit. Everybody has a bias to one platform or another and its glaringly obvious that brain_stew is bias towards the PC. This has nothing to do with his posts in this thread either.
brain_stew said:Because its irrelevant. Every modern game uses all manner of post effects, its hardly anything new or unique.
zoukka said:I miss old-school fanboys who didn't even know what resolution meant.

SamuraiX- said:And can you show me those that are at a native 720p or 1080p resolution? And possibly include what type of PP effects they used for the game?
How is it irrelevant? If the end game looks awesome, why does the fucking resolution matter?brain_stew said:Because its irrelevant. Every modern game uses all manner of post effects, its hardly anything new or unique.
Corky said:did somebody say blast processing?
Well, let me tell you about blast processing...

_tetsuo_ said:You can't think of one game that has post processing and runs at 720p?
I'm an expert in 540p culture.Truant said:Yeah, Remedy really shot themselves in the foot.
brain_stew said:Pick any modern PS3/360/PC game off your shelf, and you'll have a better than 50% chance that its native 720p (or better) and uses numerous post effects.
I'm done with this thread now, too much ignorance and defiance. Its like arguing with a Tory spin doctor.
GreekWolf said:I'm an expert in 540p culture.
BTW, regardless of my disappointment with Remedy, I have no other choice but to pick this game up at some point. Alan Wake still looks incredible in motion, and (from the various gameplay segments I've seen) promises to be the best psychological thriller game this gen. Gotta have it.
Yes, yes it is.WJD said:Good lord this thread is pathetic.
Absolute Bastard said:Another cheap holiday in other people's misery. What makes this hilarious is that 5 years ago, before launch, Microsoft said all Xbox 360 games will run at 720p resolution with AA. Xbox fans ran wild claiming that PS3 was completely broken and could run games only at SD resolutions and even then with no AA at all, Halo 3 on the other hand would run at 720p with 4x AA and push graphics better than anything PS3 would ever achieve.
Yet now, over 4 years after launch, the biggest Xbox 360 exclusive people have waited years for runs at 60% of the resolution Microsoft promised as standard for all games. Watching fanboys eat crow is always hilarious, even if it is a bit sad that Alan Wake seems like a promising game and probably doesn't deserve this shit, but I'm still laughing because I'm a bastard.

That's because I honestly thought that.Revolutionary said:EDIT: Oh, and Dax "You don't even have a 360!" 01... that's rich. I seem to remember you getting temp banned for trolling Uncharted 2 before it came out. Get the fuck outta here. :lol

sinny said:The problem is that technical discussions on a pc thread are great and everyone enjoy them, brain stew is not attacking the xbox , he is pointing things that usually won't have this kind of reaction.
Trunchisholm said:Honestly, there are quite a few people who are supposedly judging the game for its technical (de)merits, but only talk about resolution. There are so many factors involved in making a game look good that restricting the discussion to a single parameter is just silly.
If you want to appear knowledgeable, you better talk about texture filtering, lighting techniques, postprocessing, shading, etc. That's, of course, excluding art, which is just as important as the rendering engine.
Sflufan said:I think you all should be FAR more concerned about the ACTUAL GAMEPLAY that was shown as opposed to whatever resolution the game's rendered in.
QAA? I thought it used FSAA or MSAA? Or something better. Someone know for certain?acm2000 said:you got killzone 2 res wrong, its 1280x720 with QAA
