You claim Alan Wake has the "best lighting ever" have you played Uncharted 2?

*Spoilers*

 

Uncharted 2 can do torches and darkness too, I dare you to find the flat textures and blocky objects that are seen all over Alan Wake too, in all the screenshots theres loads of square objects and not many extra props in scenes unless it's baked into textures.


For a more realistic styled environment how about Heavy Rain?

*Spoilers*


This isn't a PS3 vs 360 thing, I'd compare it to other 360 games, but I know these look better so they were easiest to find, most MW2 footage is probably PC. These are gameplay videos too, not cream of the crop screenshots.


Alan Wake may look great, I don't deny that, but it just REALLY isn't THAT amazing like people are making out, honestly, it's driving me nuts, lol.

I agree with this man. +1

Nice Uncharted 1 picture Prophecy, almost forgot the game looked that good :| & LOL at god needing to update his graphic cards xDD.

still waiting for syphon filter so i buy my ps3.

Wait you don't own a PS3?

o_O Okay...



So for those of you late to the party, here's what happened:

A guy named swordy posted a link to a video showing the first 10 minutes of the soon-to-be-released Xbox 360 exclusive, Alan Wake. Some people appreciated how good the game looked. Almost instantly, people who own the PS3 console (and will NEVER play Alan Wake) invaded the thread to prove that PS3 exclusives (that the 360 owners will NEVER play) is better.

Now, this thread is no longer about Alan Wake. It's about finding the chintamani stone in Uncharted 2.

Hope that helps ya!



Cheers d21lewis, I gather from a quick skim through the thread too that not a single person got moderated for detroying another Microsoft forum thread, cheers mods glad you're around.

I think Alan Wake looks great, I will be picking it up so not watching all this video.

 

 

*Edit* - I retract my earlier statement, shame its too late to save the thread.

Not exaclty. A TON of people started posting saying Alan Wake is the best looking game "ever" and that it's raising the bar for ALL games graphically. Saying it has the best graphics and lighting of any game ever and that  it blows all other games out of the water.

 

I don't know about other cases, but my point is that it isn't THAT amazing as people are claiming and that it seems to sit on average with other games and it needs some perspective. For me anyway it's nothing to do with a PS3/Xbox thing, I own both and actually have more 360 games than PS3 and will probably be adding Alan Wake to my collection when its released. If I could find examples of better looking 360 games as quickly as I could PS3 ones I'd use them instead, the problem is some of the best looking 360 games are on PC also, where most of their vids come from. You're really dumbing down the stuff that started this.

 

Thinking about it I think FFXIII looks better than Alan Wake too.

Looks like a cool game albeit a bit dark.

One thing looks absolutely certain though, the game does not deserve the graphics hype it gets from certain 360 fans. Neither the cinematics nor ingame graphics come remotely near to Uncharted 2 (it was claimed by some this game would surpass Uncharted 2, actually it does not beat Uncharted 1 by a long shot in this sense).

Your off topic, the topic is AW not Uncharted 2. 

 

Stay on topic please.

 

 

I want to watch but i cant, i dont wanna ruin the game :P

Fellow human being you give me brain damage everytime I come across your posts. I like Nas.

Flocka!!!!!!

 

@ elticker

AW is going to be amazing.

If this were the real world and not the internet, this is how it would look:

Mom:  My son, Billy is such a little artist!  His drawing of a pony is sooo cute!  It's probably the greatest picture of a pony, ever!

*knock at the door*

Neighbor:  I have to disagree.  My little girl Suzie drew a pony about a year ago.  It's much better than your little boy's drawing.

Mom:  Who are you and why have you come to my house to bad mouth my son's drawing?  I thought it was pretty good/

Neighbor:  And now that I think about it, Suzie drew a pony three years ago that's better than anything your son will ever draw!  Here's some of her work. See how realistic that pony's tail is?

 

And it goes on like this for 700 posts........

I have been waiting for a game like alan wake for years i bought alone in thedark because ofthebullshit people say about this looks like alone in the dark anditwas totally diferent though it wasnt bad i would say its not remotly close to the qaulity alan wake is at. I am sure this is going ot be amazing i am gonna reply it alot sincei  learned that from PC community cause i thought if no mp then no reply value but i understand that without multiplayer there is still tons of reply value thanks PC community and i think it wasvlad or shio who said that. first play through is the exploring story. second collectibles. third commentry. fourth gonna write all the script andwhatthey say. fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth etc... are playing with different languages I wish remedy put on subtitles but they didnt so i have to create subtitles on paper.
