They are aiming to simulate the blood flood beneath skin? oh my God this got serious :O

Noble Spartan4762d ago

Alan Wake 2 will be stunning with this tech.

Active Reload4762d ago

It's a shame, a lot of devs don't even get the veins right, lol.

gypsygib4762d ago

Here we go again.

Remember last time: "OMG Alan Wake has the best console graphics EVAR!! Suck it Uncharted 2, SUCK IT!!!"

Then releases...oops, my mistake.

ComboBreaker4762d ago

This tech will only be available for the PC.
And since Alan Wake 2 will not be on the PC, Alan Wake 2 will not be able to use this tech.

However, whatever game they're developing for the PC and PS3 using this tech is going to be awesome.

I just hope the game comes to both consoles. Would have liked to play AW.

The tech sounds very impressive from that write up, it's cool how they didn't slack off the competition either but said "...we’re aiming to be here.", very humble.

Christopher4762d ago

Not sure why everyone is so pressed to outdo others with technology. Alan Wake wasn't a technical powerhouse, but it was a good game on its own. I'd rather they focus on upping all elements of the game equally rather than focusing too much on one element of technology over another.

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.

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

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

Knightofelemia9d 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.

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? 🙄

Rynxie8d ago

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

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.

Rynxie8d ago

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

Asplundh8d 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.
