Some guy named "Alan Wake"

I played a little of this last night. My friend was beginning his second playthrough. Apparently it's only about twelve hours long, but it looks good from what I saw. Interesting game mechanics, cool-looking environments.

That would be like eating a Chicken McNugget then going "Right, that does it! I'm never eating again!", no?

naw dude it's just that the big long games just don't generally hold my attention any more - I never liked Grand Theft Auto or Gears of War or Metal Solid - so most of the big-ticket items that come out don't do shit for me - at the same time, "silent hill meets res evil" sounds like I might be interested

there's a few trailers out there, this is the short snappy one that piqued my interest:

The official site has a live-action series going ("Bright Falls") that adds a Twin PEaks / X-Files vibe to the anticipation.

12 hours, figure it's twice that long for the obsessive explorer folk, so I'm happy plunking down $60 for it. The visuals look great, and I'll continue to play anything w/ a Silent Hill atmosphere.

Ha, that review's pretty damning. Totally skipping this.

running through tubes in sub-HD

next generation gaming indeed

Alan Wake RIP

the visual style reminds me more of the 2005 remake of the fog

manish pseud (cozen), Wednesday, 5 May 2010 16:18 (fifteen years ago)

this went from highly anticipated to ehhhh whatever for me somewhere along the line here.

Hm, yeah. After reading the review, update my comment to "and happier paying $29.99 in July for a used copy."

PS3 gamers do not want to see threads about sub-average sub-HD 360 games in the main discussion, there is a place for 360 exclusives.

QFT. Surely this thread can be moved to the barren wasteland that is the 360 exclusives section? It's not like there's no capacity.

lmbo, the digital foundry tech analysis of alan wake is something else; no wonder the PS3 fanboys are paranoid

Oh, I saw they'd posted one but it was tldr. What do they say?

JimD, Sunday, 9 May 2010 07:46 (fifteen years ago)

basically bends over backwards to say it's alright, sub-HD @ 30fps is fine when the lighting is dece, the atmosphere is strong etc

I've never read any of those DF things before; but if you read the bayonetta face-off and then the ffxiii face-off back to back the pro-360 editorialising is pretty clearly lolinvidious

the visuals are not a problem at all. kinda digging it so far, despite similarities to failures like Heavy Rain and Silent Hill: Shattered Memories.

hard to get excited by a game tht runs at the same res as a DS and wasn't even liked by a girl
