I've still got to go with Heavy Rain. It reminds me of a David Lynch or Alfred Hitchcock movie. I think Alan Wake is going to have a hard time being a B rated game and will most likely imo turn out like the latest Alone in the Dark or no better than Too Human or Ninja Gaiden II.

 

Again really bad points, letting your bias get the better of you. Remedy made the magnificant Max Payne, ever played it?

       Yeah, I've played it.  I tried to play it again last month, but I don't think it has aged all that well.  The console version was a B+ not an A.  Edit:  Actually, I just checked the original xbox version's Game Rankings' score is an 85.914.  It missed being magnificient by 4.086 points.

 



Heavens to Murgatoids.

Alan Wake = Too Human??

Possibly... who knows... very little has been released other then screenshots which all look great.

If both Heavy Rain and Alan Wake receive 80+ metacritic then I would say Alan Wake based on bigger console base and less of a niche game

Alan Wake - TPS/Sandbox Horror Game
Heavy Rain - Horror Pick Your Own Adventure Game (??)

Again, a video of gameplay was posted in the previous page. All we have of Heavy Rain is screenshots and interviews. There is actually an Alan Wake gameplay video. But you are right, right now both games are both a mystery.

 



Good news Everyone!

Alan Wake by a country mile.

I just don't think that HR has enough of an engrossing concept for the mainstream gamer to accept. Not that it won't be a good game, but AW has a better premise and dev backing to do better.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I's love to say heavy rain, but I think that no matter how good it is it will have a hard time selling as well as Alan Wake in both cases. Game quality will probably not even come into the equation. I would attribute this to the general lack of interest in backing playstation brand this time around. Sad but true!

There is gameplay footage of Heavy Rain, its just as little as Alan Wake thou. Both games wont live up to the hype sales wise, but gameplay I see both exceding.

And to who ever siad Indigo Prochecy 1.5= Heavy Rain, how? You cant have a 1.5 version of a game if you jump generations, they use different engines, graphics, etc.

 



Still waiting on a New Road Rash and Legend of Dragoon 2...

Really? I thought it was just a video composed of cut-scenes, I didn't actually see any gameplay. Think you could post the video? Really interested in seeing it.

Alan Wake will sell better (maybe), but Heavy Rain will get the critical acclaim. I kinda think Alan Wake is past the point where it could possibly be a great game. It may be "okay".

If the devs were really talented, it would have been finished by now, rather than dragging on this long. They probably backpedaled a couple times to push the date out this far (5 years now? It was shown, and claimed to be "pretty far along" before the 360 was even released), and that's never good for the end product.
