richardhutnik on 12 April 2010

Oh Noooooz! Deadly Premonition is a sandbox. Now it trumps Alan Wake. Oh Noooooz!

Whatever....

Errr...how is it possible for Alan Wake to be open world? It's an interative movie...

+1

 

for everyone who was on KZ2's back-side about its long dev time, Alan Wake has been vapourware longer.

 

It shall yet to see if it can live up to the hype, like KZ2 did

Isn't Deadly Premonition an example of a survival horror game with an open world? From what I've seen, it looks like Resident Evil meets GTA (you have a large overworld with lots of side missions) meets Twin Peaks meets Suda 51. So it's not like it hasn't been done before.

Haven't you seen the review scores for that game?

I don't see why announcing what you thought they thought it would be was a "mistake"...

Almost all games never turn out to be like their first announcements...

I would rather them state their ambitions and back track then ship a crappy game just because they said they would put a feature in.

Deadly Premonition had a 61 on metacritic. It's not like it was universally panned by critics. IGN isn't the be all end all. And besides I don't really pay attention to metacritic scores anymore. People who play only 80+ metacritic rated games may very well be missing out on some amazing experiences just because they assume that they wouldn't like any game rated lower than 80.

I hear ya man...Deadly premonition is awesome. But I dont think anyone will say that the game is amazing due to it being sandbox...

I see nothing wrong with turning up to love scene in a monster truck.
first; the shocks are good for that kind of thing
second; there are monster trucks in Alan Wake? WTF this just got good *sarcasm*
