You want some VG$ huh, new guy. Has there ever been a time in the history of video games that people could agree which game looked the best? When I was playing Gears of War, there were people (stupid people, of course) who thought Resident Evil 4 looked better. What looks good is subjective. Combine that with console bias, alcohol, and differing art styles, and what you get is......I'm estimating....211 posts of screen shots, bickering, and console bashing. And for what? To see which character has visible dirt in their fingernails?

What's more important is whether or not Alan Wake is going to be a good game for its audience. In that respect, I hope the answer is yes.

Enjoy your "debate".

Fingernail dirt > No fingernail dirt!



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)

Don't get me wrong, it looks amazing, and I think the environments and art style are great but graphically I don't believe from what I've seen that it looks as good as Uncharted 2, GOW 3 or Heavy Rain

You need an undecided/wait and see option. I voted no, but that's including PC games :P

Its funny, but almost all the people in the thread said something related to the topic, even though I know its a difficult, if not impossible, question to answer. Its obviuos that graphics are very subjective, but as a whole you can still measure if a game its one of the best or not.

Now, I think its a pretty simple question to answer. Do you think its going to be the best? Thats exactly what I need, a subjective answer.

Still, you being the one with the more posts, treat me ironically as the new guy, "debate".

Is there a point of doing a top 10 best videogames chart then, since we all have different opinions? In the end, you can average opinions, and thats what matters.

Looks great but the animations and the gameplay graphics are not that awe inspiring. The cut scenes are good but so are the one in uncharted 2 or gears 2

I'm not sure.  I will wait until I play or see Alan Wake, KZ2, and U2 on a nice HDTV before I decide.

Maybe, with all the hype around recently, I'm going to preorder this game.
I think the storyline in Alan Wake will be even more exciting than its grafix...

My mind is blown.  In the past, even a thread title "Which Game Rhymes With "Talon Bake"" would end up in a flame war against Alan Wake.  This thread reaked of an attempt at recreating that madness.  I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you have good intentions.  We were all the "new guy", once.

Enjoy your debate (no quote marks, this time).
