To be fair, when I had the game I had a Geforce 670 and I ran it at 1080p with some details turned off.Dunno about that.
Alan wake was designed in the dx10 area where 280 gtx which is half the performance of 580 was the king. even a 580 couldn't hold a stable 60 fps in that game on maximum settings. Yea PC monitors had actually more pixels in that time period then 1080p.
Sure u could cut some visuals down and get a stable 60 fps most likely at the time it released which was fine i guess.
However quantum break couldn't even run at max settings on stable 30 fps at 1080p on the most expensive card at that time which was a 980.
And the framedrops where horrible with it a stutter mess entirely. DX12 which should have been the saving grace for the game made it even worse.
That's a 780 ti, 970, 980 and a 980 ti which launched later and also costed a lot more.
Control i have no idea about how it will run as its not out just yet, obviously the people they gave the key either play it on consoles or have top notch hardware to get it going.
But there early leaked hardware requirements kinda made me iffy with recommend being 1080 ti gpu performance which is kinda ridiculous.
If you're going to be reductive, then isn't Alan Wake's gameplay just shine your light on enemies and shoot them? I am playing Gears of War 4 at the moment, and the gameplay for that could be summarised as stick to a cover point and then pop up and shoot enemies in the head.I was going to post in the Control thread that this was going to be Remedy's last game but I didn't want to go seeking attention more than I already did by asking what the gameplay is supposed to revolve around. You run around a bunch of rooms and throw stuff or shoot them. Nothing about it stands out. Some of it looks pretty?

Righttttt we believe u lolits basically a naughty dog game but it has a lot of bugs. not that far off
What a weird commentMost overrated developer out there.
It seems to me that the gameplay loop is to alternate between firing your main weapon and telekinesis while dodging attacks, and focussing on high level enemies as the threat escalates and the Hiss enemies evolve. Eg.:Control seems very barren. There is no satisfying loop or content. Nothing seems to stand out as the draw of the game. There's a mountain of shitty games out there and sure I would could reduce them but I don't care about them and mostly avoid talking about them. I want to be interested in Control because on paper or conceptually it interests me. So I'm talking about it, but I'm not sold, in fact the opposite. It seems terrible. Polished turd. They should've stopped development but they had no choice because there's no moneypot to save them. I'm very disappointed because this was their chance to get away from the Alan Wake/Quantum Break high budget story approach and make an arcade style game with their experience from refining through Wake to Quantum. Except they've went into some void between both and now there's just nothing there any party.
505 announced yesterday that they'd be only allowing women to stream the game prior to release. Because equality. I shit you not.
There were when tweets from those that had early copies shitting all over the game, stating it's pretty underwhelming, both story and gameplay wise.
Make of that what you.
Max Payne is R*'s baby now and I'm fine with it. Max Payne 3 > 1 & 2.I hope it does well. Alan Wake and Max Payne were great. I haven't played Quantum Break but I might buy the PC version at some point.
I never played quantum break, was it any good?its quantum break, but its a chick. and the game takes place indoors.
I never played quantum break, was it any good?
Yes.I never played quantum break, was it any good?
Gamers should make fools out of 'em by buying a ton of copies and supporting the devs.

people go on about Alan Wake like its some masterpiece, it has great parts for sure but as a whole package very flawed.
Got it for free on PC a year ago. Played for 10 minutes and put it down. Never played it again. Its dull AF and i can't put my finger on it but it just screams MEH. Also people have reported that you unlock the powers quite early so the rest of the game is cakewalk which to me sounds even more offputting.I never played quantum break, was it any good?
It's shite.
Beautiful, intriguing, well-written shite. It's great for about an hour and then you realise that the gameplay isn't going to go anywhere, and you're going to be killing the same handful of enemy types the exact same gimmicky way for the rest of the game. And you're right.
So all that's left is the story, which is great if you play games for the story.
It seems to me that the gameplay loop is to alternate between firing your main weapon and telekinesis while dodging attacks, and focussing on high level enemies as the threat escalates and the Hiss enemies evolve. Eg.:
So it kind of operates in a middle ground between a cover based shooter and a more arcade style experience. I don't see why such a middle ground shouldn't be allowed to exist. Whether such an experience is "fun" is pretty subjective. The above gameplay footage looks pretty frentic and seems to require effective threat prioritisation and use of your abilities.

Makes sense they would go for the Epic exclusive then because the Epic deal pays them back the budget for the game (I think it’s reported that this is what they offer).
If you have a game you think is going to bomb then what better way to recoup the potential loss.
doesnt that fall under insider trading. battlefield 4 had something like this before release too.
its basically a naughty dog game but it has a lot of bugs. not that far off
The game has gotten literally NO HYPE whatsoever. It's being published by a publisher that I have never heard of: 505 Games.
I'd be surprised if the game sold more than a million copies. Although just about every game probably does if released across a ton of platforms at heavy digital discount.I legit thought this was a $40 spinoff AA title when i first saw it at e3, was baffled when i realized its a full prized game. The reviews tomorrow will show, hoping this somehow turns out to be decent because i'm in a drought
