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.

Um..am I missing something? you mentioned a review/comment by Gamespot in your post, saying it was included in the video. One by them isn't there (again, unless I'm missing something). The only commenter I recognized was IGN. I think this game is going to be pretty good. At one point, I thought this game was going to blow people away and get a ridiculously high metacritic score; but the more time goes on and the more footage I see, the more I think it's not going to be as good as I originally thought. This is how it was with SC:C-I thought for a while that game was going to be (and look) amazing and get crazy high reviews (especially bc of how long it was in production), but as time grew closer to its release, I lost that opinion; and I was right to lose it considering it's sub-par review scores. I still think AW is going to be a really good game, just not mind-blowingly good. Maybe I'll be wrong though. I'm excited to see the review scores pile in...
