uc1 looks better than alan wake.

alan wake screenies are bullshots, they already stated although from in game they are taken in cam mode with extra filters.

i cant wait for alan wake release, because threads like these will be put to rest. the only way for alan wake to improve grafix to make it nearer to uc1 and uc2 is to go on multi disc which wont happen.

Just wait for the game to be released.

@Hanzo: I think the Xbox 360 will have a gamed that'll pass Uncharted 2 graphics. But by that time the PS3 will already have an even better looking game.

That is not true. The only thing thats "polished" in those screenshots is the antialiasing. Its 4xAA when you play and around 24xAA in those screenshots. Everything else (textures, lighting, models etc.) is just like in the game when you play it.

the fact is they should not have to touch up the screens, sorry, but i see uncharted 2 screenshots, and i must admit it actually looks better when i play it myself, there is no need to touch up screens if a game is good it shall speak for itself....

Can';t really tell how good AW is going to be simply because it isn't out yet and there is no previous AW game to go by. U2 won soooo many GOTY awards and is noted as the graphics king for consoles. Will AW be a great game? Maybe, hell it can be GOTY material with the right recipe. The premise alone does seem interesting but it seems VERY Silent Hill type for me (not that it would be wrong since I love that series). I do wish AW to be a good/great game so that company can continue making great games but stating that they AW is equally fun to UC2 is an assumption with absolutely no basis.

On a side note, if you ever go to another thread on GOW3 and how great it will be, just remember that it is a game that has a very successful history with 2 previous games, something AW does not have at present time. It is safe to say that given the 5 year + development time of AW, it will at the very least be a good game (although I am hoping for greatness so I can rob my friend's 360 lol).

That's a very weird stance to take, considering that's exactly what everyone does with pre-release screenshots. And the native resolution the game runs in makes for very tiny pictures if they put it in print, so higher resolution is also needed. Uncharted 2's pre-release screenshots were most likely all touched up in a similar manner.

well youve just said it, the screens arnt what the actual game will look like

There will be a little more aliasing, but thats it. Why is this so hard to understand? Seems like some people doesnt want to understand...
