"Remedy has responded to online claims that upcoming Xbox 360 exclusive Alan Wake runs with a sub-HD resolution, releasing a statement saying that "modern renderers don't work by rendering everything to a certain final on-screen resolution".
Despite a review version of Alan Wake being sent out by Microsoft to the games media with a strict embargo that expires in early May, some websites have run videos and taken screenshots from which pixel counters reckon that the game's native resolution is 960x540. This appears to be a somewhat different state of affairs when compared with early Wake footage we took a look at back in August last year, which was definitely a native 720p."
Alan Wake 2 continues the writer's story, 13 years later.
Remedy has Alan Wake merch on sale, including a pretty blue thermos. Unfortunately, things haven’t gone according to plan, and many players who want a thermos find themselves without one, though it does appear that Remedy is attempting to fix things. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a lot of upset, illustrating just how much the thermos means to Alan Wake fans.
"I really, really, desperately wanted him to start it off."
The story borrowed HEAVILY from the King novel "The Dark Half" anyway. Figured there'd be some sort of lawsuit but seems King was in on and ok with it.
"If, as the pixel counters say, Alan Wake is running at 960x540 with 4x multisampling anti-aliasing, we do have an existing example of how this looks. Sony's Siren Blood Curse remake on PS3 runs with exactly the same framebuffer set-up."
Interesting...... very interesting.....
-End statement
MS removed the requirement that games run in HD on the 360 well over a year ago
Doing that they just made it a bigger issue than need be in all honesty,to me still looks like a good game regardless
From what I've seen in the gameplay, AW is a game that I will enjoy, and I'm still on target to purchase it. As I said before, I'm a bit disappointed that it isn't 720p Native, but ultimately, I'll have to wait and see if Remedy made a good decision with the resolution. Until then, I will bide my time, waiting excitedly for reviews and ultimately the game.
Edit: Wait, so I'm not going to enjoy Alan Wake? OH NO!!! How'd you find this out!?!?! Please tell me, I'm desperate to know!! LMAO.
Think this game looks good
It's Sub HD !!!!
Now get over it you Silly BABOON'S
