So, they confirm they released PC screenshots (while for now this version has been cancelled). They also confirm screen tearing (Uncharted 2 does not) and 4 to 8 times fewer polygons for main characters than Uncharted 2. 4x anti-aliasing probably hints at a sub-HD rendering resolution on the XBox 360.

Also considering Uncharted 2 so far seems to sport higher quality textures, better HDR effects and more complex world with more going on on screen, I think it's safe to say this title will not by far top Uncharted 2 in the graphics department.

I love Remedy's past efforts though, so I may get Alan Wake for the PC at some point if this title meets expectations.

Hmm maybe I misunderstood but nowhere in there does it say it is pc shots.I thought it was a similar process to the way lets say sony did screenshot of shadow of the colossus.Render that certain frame at a higher resolution or render the frame piece by piece then put it together(I really have no idea how that works).I wanted to get the pc version ,seeing how microsoft wants to stonewall us,and I dont know about you but I cant wai 1-3 years more for it come out.And whats the point in comparing to uncharted,even though its more linear than its orginal counter part,it still seems to be WAY more open than uncharted,that in itself I imagine brings more limitations graphically.
