I haven't seen single best scale comment, and from all I've seen from AW, it won't come anywhere near the scale of first 5 minutes of GoW3. Reviewers are pointing out bad textures, dated character models, stiffy animation, not impressive daylight settings and sub-HD resolution.

The only thing everyone is praising is lighting. Which is to be expected, since it's the main focus of the whole game.

So drop these delusional googles and accept the fact, that AW is nowhere near as you claimed it to be from the technical standpoint. And remember this for the future, to save yourself the embarasment.

I'm not gonna argue with many of you here. Ive already made a very laughable thread. And now sig. LOL.

But I will say. Any review Ive read thats mentioned 540p has basically said it's a non issue, and is just as crisp as any top game.

Lip syncing comes under character modeling.

And according to reviews no GOW3 and U2 dont beat AW lighting. Lighitng without a doubt whether it be Gametrailers, IGN or Gamepro. All in awe of AW lighitng. Dancing shadows, fog, scale and environments are all points where Alan Wake finds itself right there in the mix with Crysis, GOW3 and U2. It would seem, more attention on lip syncing and animations would have resolved any quams at all with graphics from reviewers. And some added attention to detail on supporting characters. I'm a little disappointed to be honest.

5 years, and it's like they forgot to do the character model finishing touches in the last 6 months. Obviosuly I havent played it, but it would seem it's very much like the Heavy Rain graphics. Best of in some areas, and not in others. A shame, that such trivial things make it fall short, rather than technical hinderances.

But you have to LOL at me.

Ok now you're taking this too far.... AW definitely has the best lighting and shadows up until now. Period. And, only the geometry buffer is 540p. The frame buffer itself BEFORE going to the scaler is 720p native.

Well, Selnor. I will just remember you from some facts:

You will have to buy a PS3 if you want best graphics on any console this generation. Stick with it. Oh, and where are any news claiming that Alan Wake is only possible on X360?

I deserve anything youve got. Seriously. LOL. ;)

lately like between 6-mid 8's I think I'm not sure. The first two, SH1-SH2 were rated between 8-10 with the highest and IMO best silent hill being 89 meta

My numbers could be wrong as I haven't checked meta for all of them. I just remember reading those reviews, as I loved the first 2

GOD3 and Uncharted 2 have better HDR. GOD3 and Killzone 2 have way more light sources. Of course Alan Wake is a darker experience in general to show off lighting, but the bright areas receive criticism.

The game is rendered in 540p, software scales this to fit in with the 720p HUD, the hardware scalers (in the 360 and maybe HDTV) scale this to the screen's native resolution. Please don't be upset, I didn't design the game.

@selnor

well it takes a lot for someone to accept that he /she is wrong ,,,so i ll give you props on that.

next time don't fall for bull shots like you always do ;)

I'm upset because you're talking nonsense. You're obviously biased towards those games. AW HDR is superior.. KZ2 has some prebaked lighting, while AW does not. 

I'll say it again. The opaque geometry buffer, which is the "lines" and textures, are 540p. The frame before before going to the scaler, is 720p, which means, most of the processing and effects is done @720p, and after that, the 720p HUD is added to that final 720p image.

I'm done discussing this, since I already know where this is going.
