thats E3 05 trailer
didn't realize how bad the game looked back then, funny thing is everything looked amazing a few years ago. Alan Wake def looks way better then when they started (No surprise)

FrigidDARKNESS5367d ago

I totally agree the looks awesome better than any other game that's currently out. They did a helluva job kudos to Remedy.

Hades13375367d ago

The story changed a fair bit as well.

i love how all the quotes except 1 were about visuals. Everyone likes to pretend this gen wasn't about gaming + visuals. but a look back in time shows it was.

InTheKnow5366d ago

Great game with great game play and graphics. Looking back at the original vids and concept art, Remedy definitely made the right decision in regards to story and the overall look of the game...

The game engine is one of the best this gen...

...and the game play didn't disappoint...

In regards to how long it took to make...simple...it took to long. There is nothing that can change that now and I hope it's released on PC and probably will be in the near future. As for AW 2...still hasn't been confirmed???

That was a pretty sweet trailer, especially right at the end.

air15367d ago

alan wake was great! im sure it didnt sell like they wanted but i hope we get a sequel!

maniacmayhem5367d ago

Story was great but the action was way too repetitive. How many times did they conveniently drop you in the middle of the forest at night. Over and over again, way too boring.

allyc4t5367d ago

I agree. The story was good and the graphics were some of the best I have seen, but the gameplay was very repetitive.

cooperdnizzle5367d ago

That is weird that ya think that man.. I thought the graphics were some of the worst i have seen. Well, maybe not the worst but they were pretty bad for a game that took five years to make! lol

air15367d ago

what did you expect? to be dropped in space? "bright falls"

maybe some caves would have been nice. thats why i want a sequel..

RememberThe3575367d ago

I never noticed it but I remember that feeling of "this again". Overall the game is well made. But it doesn't feel like the game took that long to make. If you compare it to other games is feels rather unpolished.

Elven65367d ago

You've never been to the Western States/Provinces then I take it? Since that's what all the towns are surrounded by.

maniacmayhem5367d ago

You're missing my point.
The action was monotonous, run from point A to B, shine a light on an Ax guy, shoot then repeat.

BillOreilly5367d ago

Amen i lived in washington and they nailed the scenery and feel of the mountains and forests. the atmosphere was amazing. super detailed too. sequal please

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran8441d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto440d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia441d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger441d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie441d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos441d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie441d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh441d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

A thermos is upending the Alan Wake community

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.
