Alan Wake

Postby clyzm » Tue Aug 14, 07 5:16 am

From the makers of Max Payne comes a kickass psychological thriller, Alan Wake.

I'm definitely gonna get this game, the environment and attention to detail is just fucking amazing.

I'm sure there is a thread about this, no screenshots though.

The coal mine picture is fantastic.

Gah. I thought this'd be something about me. ¬_¬

Looks fairly good from the screenies. But I wouldn't get a 360 just for it. :)

You're gonna need DirectX 10 to run this baby, along with top of the line overclocked shit, lol.

The plot is interesting too:

Alan Wake is a bestselling horror writer. Early on in his career, his fiancée Alice, was his muse. Just prior to meeting her, he had started to have strange dreams which he used as material for his first book. The book was a big success, a dream come true. But then Wake’s fiancée vanished without a trace. Wake was devastated. He couldn't write anymore, his dreams stopped and he began to suffer from insomnia. At the beginning of the game, Wake travels to a sleep clinic to seek treatment for his condition. The secluded clinic is located near the small town of Bright Falls, Washington, far away from the stressful urban lifestyle. Receiving treatment at the clinic, Wake is able to sleep again. At the clinic, he meets a mysterious woman who is the very image of his missing fiancée, uncannily so. At once, his dreams return, this time as terrible nightmares. Wake begins to write again: a new book based on those nightmares. But something is horribly, horribly wrong. Impossibly, the town of Bright Falls starts to change to something awful that bears a close resemblance to Wake’s new book. Wake ends up fighting for his life with a gun and a flashlight in his hands, trying to understand what’s happening.

Thats what they said about Crysis.

Fact is, you will need a good PC, without a doubt, but I doubt I won't be able to run it by then.

Yeah, you'd need at least Dual Core, a 8800GTS, and 2 gig RAM maybe?

I remember reading somewhere that it was going to be optimized to utilize quad core.

Wow, that tech demo was really something.

I wonder if they have taken new technology in to consideration. The one of most interest being the rise of GPU utilities.
Signatures are dumb.

This game is ABAP and I am absolutely astounded I didn't hear much from it after its 360 release. The combat is very engaging while repetitive and I'm captivated by the story so far. Just finished episode 3.

I've got to Episode 4.

Amazing detail & atmospheric setting, tastefully creepy. There's few minor things I don't like such as the plot being a bit silly at times and the combat repetitiveness, but that's overshadowed by everything else. A masterpiece.

[spoiler]Truly a wonderful depiction of what I've so far understood as being the events in the writer's imagination unveiling as he writes manuscripts and drinks 100 coffees during it, with the open-style gameplay allowing him to skip those coffees.[/spoiler]

Just finished it, as well as the 2 extra episodes. Great game, indeed.
