Am I the only one who doesn't find the graphics of alan wake to be "zomg the most amazing thing ever"?

Also, AA is good and all. But it doesn't improve the graphics. Just gets rid of jaggies. So this doesn't help much.

Certainly in terms of art, it's your opinion. But in term of technicalaities it's impressive. AA isnt just about jaggies on polygons. It's also about clear textures, non jagged shadows, shadow clipping, lighitng AA etc. Alan Wake is the first to have all 4xMSAA. Most games wont even AA half that stuff.

 

 

I have tested AA out on my PC. Farcry. 0 AA to 8 AA. Not a huge difference. Its not nearly as important as you think it is. It is nice and all. But it just makes everything have sharper edges. Also the shadows are nothing special imo. Farcry and crysis have great shadows as well.

Yes but presumably you play in really high resolutions on PC monitors (as opposed to large TV HD screens) so jaggies don't seem so prevalent.
