are people kidding me? "1up saying it looks as good as U1 is like an insult"

How is that an insult? It's a step up for 360 graphics, I don't believe the 360 had a game that looked as good as Uncharted 1 until now based on 1up's comment. Uncharted 1 is one of the best looking games on the ps3.. sure Uncharted 2 looks much better, but still it's just amazing. It shouldn't be insulting at all.. I myself was stupidly saying the 360 would never pas U1 in graphics, and look I was way wrong

I don't think they were talking about U1's graphics. Here's the qoute:

"If anything, Alan Wake reminds me of the first Uncharted. It is a great, but flawed work (hello ugly daylight, quirky animations, and a script that mocks the viewer even more than Lost or Twin Peaks) that lays the foundation for what could be an absolutely amazing follow-up. I just hope it doesn't take another five or six years."

There's a bunch of multiplatform games with better graphics than the first Uncharted nowadays.

I'm pretty sure most are taking it out of context then.  The comparison they made with U1 was in structure, not graphics. 

You're pretty much the only one in thinking that since late 2008.

well they certainly seemed fairly impressed and comment on the graphics being just amazing too

Your post here is fine

 

Hey, if I tell you I don't think Alan Wake looks as good as Uncharted 2 and Killzone 2 (which I believe is true) will you promise not to argue with anyone in my thread should anyone try? for me?!

Uncharted 2 looked like crap to me...I still havent played Killzone 2 yet

Still sounds like a good game though, i will give this a rent sometime.



How in the world is near 90% bad? It still has a chance to reach near that. Either way 360 still has Bayonetta near AAA on GR, and Mass Effect 2 at 95.70% which is gonna be very hard top by any game this year.



It's just that simple.

Can you believe that Mass Effect 2 is the 15th best rated game of all time? (At least on gamerankings.com)

I mean, on meta the game's score doesn't even drop from 90-aside from one 75.

*stops fapping*

So yeah, In terms of game of the year awards, or even just 360 console game of the year, ME2 is a freaking giant.

Instead of trying to label Alan Wake as GOTY, we should just enjoy it for what it is: a good horror game. Lets be honest , the genre is not know for deep gameplay-See: RE4. Instead it's all about the set pieces and the situations the game throws you in. And we really haven't seen many good efforrts from the horror genre recently, so we should take it where we get it.

Uncharted 2 looked like crap to me...

Hmm... I've seen this condition before. Very dreadful but there is hope!!!

 

Problem solved



A lot of people on Russian forums have pirated and finished it already. There are a mixed feedback is comming from them. Some people love it, some people says its average. They say graphics is OK, but have plenty of major issues, atmosphere and design is good, sound is very good, animation is bad, gamplay is OK and storyline is average...
