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!

 

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.

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........

 

Lol, good point, but it's not like its someones pride and joy here, its a topic about a game on a website for gamers who have lots of opinions on games. If it is someones pride and joy then other games may be other peoples pride and joys also. When people say "this is the best EVER" then people are entitled to disagree and people will argue, especially on a subjective topic such as aesthetics. Without opinions and discussion forums would be pretty boring and thread would die off very quickly. :)

 

If anything Alan Wake fans should be thankful for the debate in this thread because it's keeping it on the front page and advertising the game more, most people won't read past the title or after checking the video anyway! At least most comments are constructive and fair rather than "Thiz game suxz because it's not got master chief". :p
