And Square-Enix said FF13 would look the same on both the 360 and PS3. I don't know what resolution Alan Wake runs at, but this wouldn't be the first time videogame PR lied (if that's the case), and the only reason Videogameszone would compromise the images would be to create controversy. In which case they've done a good job.

I'd love to be proven wrong, but I'm more inclined to trust the so-called journalism right now, rather than Remedy's PR department.

And again, I'm not trying to diminish the game in any way, I just want my facts.


Remedy are going to turn off your power and steal your flashlights. You've been warned...

It's okay, I have a backup...

The best part is, the media loved the preview. Calling it impressive anti aliasing. I cant wait to see everyones face when Alan Wake has comments like "simply the best graphics on consoles yet" or "best graphics this generation". Because it will get those. It's destined to. The funny bit will be if it gets those and is indeed 960x540. Man some people here would melt down there brain with that info.


will you add me on xbox360?

the debate is apparently lasting longer because Remedy took the extremely defensive route. I don't think the pixel-counters would be satisfied with a more generic answer now, but DF wouldn't have to go on an article BEFORE the game was launched if the Remedy guy didn't jump to techincal stuff trying to disprove the leaks (which I think it's the real target of his "rant"). obviously no amount of explanation would be enough for those that don't look past the surface.

still, it's funny how this resolution "debate" took over the good old polygon count debate lol



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

Selnor, the same guy who said Conviction would be the best looking console game, now it;'s Alan Wake, then it will be Halo 3, can anyone take him seriosuly?

PR peopkle spin and BS all the time, it's their job, please.

Alan wake does not look that great at all, especially the environment, has no chance of topping GOW 3, UC2 or killzone 3, when used properly the 360 is older and cannot compete with PS3 exclusives, the cell is too good when used right. This is fact.

At most it will be in the upper echelon of console games, but surely a 360 exclusive wont top the ps3 exclusives graphically. They are years old now, there is a reason the best looking console games are on PS3.

A game that has had development changes, platform changes, and a rocky dev cycyle wont be as nice looking as first party sony titles, who know cell better then anyone. When they left PC, and scrapped the open world for linear, the writing was on the wall. Console limitations.

why does it matter really if you don't even have a 360 you shouldn't be trolling complaining about how the game isn't or is 720p the game looks great either way

How? Teletext says that 3D Dot Game Heroes has the best graphics ever.

If you can promise me that agreeing to this sentence will put an end to debates like this one, then I will agree with you.  Otherwise, I am ONLY giving you possible consideration for the category of art direction, and not technical prowless.
