Digital Foundry : Alan Wake Tech Analysis

[MikeB]

@ Selnor

Considering 360 fans took aim at PS3 development times, it is ironic Uncharted 2 took only 2 years to complete and Alan Wake took 5 years. In addition to everything stated above Uncharted 2 also includes far more varierty in its graphics and includes awesome online gameplay as well (which is of course free on the PS3, thus worth mentioning).

Last year Uncharted 2 received no less than 10 Academy Of Interactive Arts & Sciences 2009 awards:

1) Outstanding Achievement in Animation award

2) Outstanding Achievement in Art Direction award

3) Outstanding Achievement in Visual Engineering award

4) Outstanding Achievement in Gameplay Engineering award

5) Outstanding Achievement in Original Story award

6) Outstanding Achievement in Original Music Composition award

7) Outstanding Achievement in Sound Design award

8) Adventure Game of the Year award

9) Outstanding Achievement in Game Direction award

And thus of course last but not least:

10) Overall Game of the Year

Uncharted 2 is special!
