Earlier this evening, it was reported on NeoGaf that upcoming Microsoft Xbox 360 exclusive, Alan Wake, was only running at the resolution of 547p -- which will be sub-HD levels. Well, to counter these claims, Remedy has claified the situation with an official statement on the Alan Wake forums.

Community Manager stated: "The game is 720p. Those screenshots are based off footage captured at 960x540 like cocorenut pointed out, of course there will be some downsampling involved.

As has said before Videogameszone and Gamepro both released footage without approval and due to the fact that we don't know how many compressions their videos went through or what process they took it's best not to use those videos as sources."

As of now, the statement from Remedy should be the one to go off. Alan Wake will release on the Xbox 360 in a month and will be one of the biggest releases the system in 2010.

This should clear things up.

Are we setting the record for Alan Wake threads in a day? Oh well, I suppose they say any kind of publicity is good publicity.

I wonder what one is true O_o. I will go for the developer for now, but if it turns out to be otherwise they're going to get some shit. Not particularly from me, but I can expect some fanboy clashing.

I am pretty sure Remedy would know what resolution Alan Wake runs at :)

yes i agree, the devs word is the one to follow.

Well let's hope people read this before the shit storm ensues, on the other thread.

Can we lock the other thread now?

well i highly doubt it. the only minute remote thing i can think of is devs mean it will display in 720p but i doubt it would be that.

if they say its 720p then it must be.

In other news FF13 on the 360 will be identical to the PS3's version.
