Alan Wake is a linear game with small scale fights, compare that to a game with the epic scale and chaos going on yeah like GOW 3. Many games are up to Alan Wakes graphics, and better, UC2, God of War 3, KZ2, Crys s(Plus many other Pc game obviously)  Even mass Effect 2 is one of the 360's best, Gears of War. etc..  Whoever said Sand box game needs to do some research. Not one toehr site has made any bold claims about AW graphics, every site is saying GOW 3 is the best ever for any console.

Cool, Alan Wake looks pretty darn good, glad to see its comparative to Uncharted 2 since that blew my mind visually. I hope and feel God of War will usher in a new benchmark, but its good that Alan Wake, which is in a genre in which graphics and mood play an important role in setting the tone of the game and immersiveness (sp?) of the environment, is up to the benchmark thus far with currently released games on the PS3 or any console for that matter.

someone has been countered nicely by the PS team lol

What? Explain how when it is on both and the DEVELOPERS said it will run a little better on PS3? Your saying they arelying?  Give mea  break, whats next weeks lotto numbers? The 360 cannot surpass the PS3, it does not have the hardware. At best they will always remain close. Fanboys are so pathetic.  Again, its on both, will at worse lookthe same. name one multi-pkat game that loked a lot better on one the the other? It's multi=-plat for a reason, they will make both to be the same, with PS3 having slightly better visuals due to Cells ability to handle physics.

As the PS3 gets older the gap will actually widen as devs get betetr with Cell, as we have seen this gen already. Please, you have zero facts, just some MYTH that despite crytek refutting you that somehoe a game thats on both will make 360 leap frog the PS3, pretty dillusional.

I'll name 2:

Bayonetta (in favor of 360).

FFXIII (in favor of PS3).

Both are examples of sloppy ports, since they were both in development exclusively for one console.

I don't agree with him about Crysis 2 at all, though. Until we see it run on both consoles and have DF do an analysis, there is little water to his claims.

I edited my post. Read the last paragraph.

Once again, those were early in the PS3's life cycle, them differences between multi-plats were very minimal, not Gen definign differences in graphics like RAZ likes to BS about. Now almost all look identical.

CRYTEK stated PS3 will be slightly better, until he can prove the devs are wrong, you get the drift.

This. The 360 is holding back the games of this gen. The PS3 is capable of so much (look exclusives) and yet the 360 is the leading console for some reasons but mainly because of installed base (and some moneyhatting here and there). Thank God for Sony and their vision, thanks for universal HDD and Blu-ray support, thanks Sony for your investment in first-party talent, so I can enjoy stuff like God of War 3, Uncharted 2 and Gran Turismo. I gotta praise much Sony developers, don't you think they would've been well off if they had decided to make some subpar sequels for games like God of War, Uncharted or Gran Turismo? But no, these guys push it to the limit and beyond. Play B3yond!

OT: Alan Wake (imho) doesn't justify 5 years of development (a mid-2010 release) with the visuals and physics it's showing. It's not going to break any ground in gameplay, dramatic presentation and techinically it will be nominated for lighting effects but I don't see this game as anything but another action-thriller in the Silent Hill-style. Hopefully, it's a good game and it helps to revive the genre.

It would run better on PS3 in context that it was a particle heavy game (physics, which don't show up in a screenshot), it runs better on 360 if it's a shader heavy game (graphics, which do). Cavet confirmed they wanted to make Crysis 2 the most shader heavy game ever.

More likely that you are.

Perhaps, the PS3 does have some nice looking exclusives, but Microsofts been running rings around them this gen technically. Every major engine runs better on on the older console, UE3, Frostbite, Capcom Frameworks 1 & 2, Ego, Tech 4, Tech 5, Cryengine 3, Scimitar. 

The only games that seem to run better on PS3 are those that never turn up anywhere else...and Crystal tools.

Yeah money, if every developer only made a multiplatform game that could be replicated with complete uncompromise, the 360 would have another 700 exclusives.

Whatever you say slick, that doesn't really explain why the 360s leapfrogging the PS3 though.

Heh. Who says it has to look a lot better. The PS3 is 1 year younger, has the blu-ray and a standard hard drive. You tell me what an acceptable level of downgrade is for newer hardware.
