this game is suppose to make crysis look like pong fas ar as bringing a PC to its knees
 
I've read that comment from a number of people, im not sure what the soruce is.

I know they're pushing for quad core other than that I dont think theres much info on its performance on PC hardware.
 
Well that screenshot doesn't make Crysis look like pong.....it was probably impressive when it was released but not anymore.
 
It's still faaaaaar off in the hazy distance release-wise. (At last report Alan Wake was not on the confirmed E3 titles list, though that doesn't mean the folks at Remedy couldn't do a sneak preview.)
 
Welcome to 2007.

Oh, and have I stumbled into the [P]OPEGOLD|Forum, by chance...?
 
That doesn't look much like Crysis, more like it was built off the Source Engine

Looks like Half-Life 2 Ep.2.

Beat me too it.

If that is going to bring my computer to its knees, I hope its rendering to 3 monitors.
 
there is nothing in any screenshot of that game that looks worth a shit. in fact outdated and dull is what comes to mind for me.
 
Pffft, another vote for looking like HL2: Ep. 2. Make Crysis look like Pong.. aha!
 
lawl it does look like half life 2 ep 2, but the grass/plants remind me cod 4 for some reason

the lighting and especially the textures. The textures are extremely sourcey.

The Source textures and geometry have always had a very crisp look to me at least. When you get up close to them, they look like crap compared to games like Crysis, but still. It really does look like a shot from Episode 2.
 
You have my vote for source textures. What is the point of all this?
 
It seems it has been at least 2 years since I've heard anything about Alan Wake, hopefully that's a good thing.
 
What is with developers these days making games that don't run well on a system? WoW seriously got it right that the game needs to able to run on many different systems without issues. These other games like Crysis don't interest me at all. I'm not going to run their little experiment.
Maybe that's what the problem with PC Games as it is. The developers have their heads up their asses.
 
Notice how Pope hasnt posted yet?

He likes attention.

I never thought I would have to say this on the [H]... Don't feed the trolls.


Also, I think it looks like Ep2 but the mountains look HORRIBLE.
 
This game is overrated doesnt look better then crysis thoose screens that are out tbh.. and its Vista only.. pfff.
 
This game was never ment to out do crysis visually, it was ment to out do it in physics, but oh well, we'll never see it, it had some pretty awsome tech demo's back in the day =/
 
I'd have to say I agree with KillaChaos. Looks like a lame implementation of the Source engine.
 
considering its being developed alongside the xbox360, i highly doubt it will be more demanding than crysis.
 
Alan Wake will suffer the same fate as S.T.A.L.K.E.R. When it was initially announced and preview screens were shown for the first few months, it looked phenomenal. By the time it came out, the graphics were still great, but nothing to go crazy about (unlike Crysis).
 
I heard Duke Nukem Forever switched to a new graphics engine every month. Wait till next month for another "trailer!"

Hey I thought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. was a great game. Especially with the Oblivion Lost mod, and the sharper texture pack. Then again, if you were playing for nice visuals then you might be a but let down compared to newer games. Personally, I think pretty graphics can't make up for bad game play.

Edit @ Splave, now we have gone from Source to CoD4 looking. Lol, those do look a bit better though.
 
I personally thought STALKER looked phenomenal. The atmosphere was perfect. It wasn't Crysis, but hey, what game is?
