How did they get owned? The trailer is good but it's not THAT amazing that it destroys RE and SH..


The comments from IGN, Gamespot etc in the trailer. Gives the impression of 94+ meta. One comment even states GOTY contender. Funny enough only 2 games this year have ha comments like that from reviews. Mass Effect 2 and now Alan Wake.

Another comment stated it one-ups TV. I really cant wait to play this. Especially the tech of the engine. That was goddamn the best video Ive seen on tech for consoles.

But the comment about one-upping TV was from Complex (never heard of them), and the one about early GotY contender was from Techland Blog (I don't think I'm even remembering the full name correctly, so you can guess they're the same as Complex), and these aren't comments from reviews because none of those sites have given a review.

 

How about a bet, I bet you sig and avatar control for a month that Alan Wake will not get a 94+ meta?  I'm curious how much you really believe that.

I actually already have a sig bet. Otherwise I'd consider it.

On the review thing. Trailers often have review comments before a review has aired. Especially from games with embargos. Those commetns will be in the reviews for the game from those reviewers. But Remedy have put them in the official advertising trailer. Which makes perfect sense.

I fully believe that Alan Wake can achieve a great meta score. I think you will be pleasently surprised at how awesome this game is. I think it will beat any Resi or SH game score ever on Meta.
