Alan Wake - PC vs X360 Comparison Video

DSOGaming writes: "YouTube’s member, ‘shinnntube’, went ahead and made a comparison video between the PC and the X360 version. Although the preview version does not include all the re-touched textures that Remedy has added to the game, we can clearly see a better terrain and environment on the PC. Alan Wake’s coat also looks better than the one found in the X360 and generally speaking, there is a noticeable improvement in the game’s graphics. Alan Wake PC is slated for a February 16th release. Enjoy!"

I'm glad they worked two years later to improve it. That also shows what the engine will do with Alan Wake American Nightmare when it releases feb. 22nd 2012. I can't wait.

Great story, it really draws you in. I played this on nightmare difficulty and damn was it hard.

I'm cringing but hopeful what Silent Hill Downpour will bring next month.

EVILDEAD3604853d ago

Good post..yeah I still havent revisted for Nightmare difficulty. I still want to play the DLC before I get to Amaerican Nightmare.

Alan and Dead Space are the best Best new survival horror game IPs this gen.

Yea, i re-did nightmare difficulty on Alan Wake and apocolyptic mode on Darksiders and had a blast.
I'm one of those that refuses to look at a walkthrough or cheat/hint I dont care how long it takes.
I agree, Dead Space is also an incredible series.

I have Silent Hill downpour, Mass Effect 3 pre ordered, and will buy Alan Wake A.N. Great gaming next couple 3 months.
What's on your list.

'I have Silent Hill downpour, Mass Effect 3 pre ordered, and will buy Alan Wake A.N. Great gaming next couple 3 months.

LOL..Bro..you might want to sit down

I literally bought so many games from Sep to December that I could probably game heavy for easily the next 5 months straight.

I got through Gears once..but now want to replay it in 3D

Started but Didn't finish Rage, Batman Arkham, Rage, Dead Island etc.

Wanted to finally dig into Bastion and Torchlight etc.

Anyways my gaming life completly took an immediate and permanant detour with a small little game called Skyrim. I don't have time to game as hard as I want, but even when I get time, I'll literally spend a 8-9 hour session on the game and still scream for more.

This will change as I'm like you will lose every molecule of my life to Mass Effect 3.

As of today, I have made the decicion to replay Mass Effect 2 and rectify some *cough* mistakes I made during the campaign.

But, I will also be playing Alan Wake: American Nightmare late at night on the weekend like I did the first for the full effect. Try Alan after midnight with one of those expensive headsets (ie. Turtle Beach etc.) and you will TRULY understand how intense that game is.

But, my sleeper for 2012 is 'I am Alive' which is also arriving this month.

I have high hopes that Downpour turns out well..but I would cry screams joy if somehow someway I could replay the very first SH in HD..like they are doing 2 & 3.

But, you are right it is a great first quarter and I still havent mentioned that I will try soehow to get to the new Final Fantasy and Kingdoms at some point

Life is so good

And I thought that it looked good on Xbox 360, when I played it.

Good thing I just purchased a gaming-PC; I might have to replay this.

BlackTar1874853d ago

yea I am going to be playing this again for sure on PC

PetitPiPi4853d ago Show
BlackTar1874853d ago

Yea i think this goes on steam on 2/13 or something just a heads up to who ever is hoping to get this as DD

john24853d ago

Will definitely give the PC version a go

Tomonobu Itagaki4853d ago (Edited 4853d ago )

Too bad Alan Wake is just as repetitive as the first Assassin's Creed and as linear as Duke Nukem Forever.

OpenGL4853d ago

Really wish the video wasn't so compressed and only 720p.

JONESY64853d ago

360 version looks better. its got better fog and blur effects. the PC version doesn't look cinematic at all.... its just so..... bland.

Mrmagnumman3574853d ago

hahaha!!!! Your cracking me up! ..... wait, you were joking right ?

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.

gigoran8405d ago

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

Tacoboto404d 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

Knightofelemia405d 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.

Chocoburger404d 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? 🙄

Rynxie404d ago

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

Profchaos404d 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.

Rynxie404d ago

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

Asplundh404d 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.
