Yeah, sometimes these comparison screenshots can be a hard sell too. Especially with a game with so many atmospherics and fog.
It all seems a little less gloomy, which I'm not sure if I like or not. The bloom on the original made the game feel very dreamy. The remaster is deffo a little sharper, and not as smooth around the light sources. Not a big deal. I'm just happy this is a great excuse to replay such a good classic.
Looks good to me.

afaik it's a full UE4 remake, not a port.
Yeeeh, that AO is baking really well. Looking fantastic man, the color is adding a lot to the ambient bounce too, less of that boring grey ambient lighting to it.

It did yeah, on a bonus disk. I still got mine
If you're 17, you're still in your mid teens. Your brain doesn't stop developing until you're around 25. Your body and brain chemistry is booming right now, and it's a complicated age for everyone, you're not a special flower struggling with life. We all go through that. Some people get heavy insomnia, others sleep for 18 hours in that age. It doesn't necessarily mean you're fucked for life... you're just turning into an adult. You'll be alright.
There's no reason you should listen to me, but what I would do is to revert back to stuff that a 17 year old should do and has been doing for millions of years. Go out and get sun in your skin, exercise and/or do sports, lift weights, eat natural foods and stay away from processed shit, drink water, socialize, find a community, stay away from the fucking news, get laid, be with friends, be a rebel, read books about stuff you like and finally.... Create! Whatever that is, just create something, even if it's just a few lines in your personal journal.
I sense every teenager nowadays keeps trying to find "happiness", and that's really weird to me. Nature has no concept of happiness, stop! Find something that gives you meaning instead. We're all so addicted to the "likes" we get on social media our brains are flooded by excess dopamine, a natural drug better saved for rewarding hard work and other achievements. Focus on what is within your power.
Be well!
That breakdown with the guitar ?
Yeah, I tried it too on the gamepass. For such a tiny team, this game is no short of a miracle. Been following it since even before it was announced, and the team really killed it.
Some things could have been a little better, the characters for instance look really rubbery, lighting can be busy at times and the map / ui a little confusing at the start.
But, killing monsters feel really snappy and gameplay fluid enough to carry the experience. I'll boot it up again soon to play a couple more hours, but I'm not the biggest fan of isometric action games so I doubt I'll put in the 50 hours to finish it.
But it's worth checking it out for the universe alone, specially if you're into industrial scifi art directions.

Still holding out hope for a orgy scene.

Question: the tech worked well or the driving? Cos I felt the driving sections were the weakest of the game, very straightforward without any benefit of driving really.
I meant the tech, the driving felt stiff as fuck, and I kept wanting to get off the car to look into every corner of the map for those damned book pages. Still fun sections, they offered something fresh to do.
Quote from blackdog2 hours ago, blackdog said: I don’t remember having to restart from the beginning of a chapter when starting a new session, and I remember criticising the game for the chapter/episodic structure because the timing seemed anyways off, and I would regularly end up leaving halfway through a chapter.
Aside: recently I discovered from a podcast -I think where Xbox boss was guest- that Alan Wake was originally intended to be released episodically just like Walking Dead, and that’s why it was so artificially broken down.
Alan Wake was a really big venture for Remedy, for a long time it was a open world game, then they rebooted the project internally. That's why they have the large driving sections, they had to try and salvage some of the tech for large open environments on there. It worked really well too, fortunately.
Really enjoyed gow4, even tho in terms of gameplay it's not as satisfying as the first 3, the story was fairly interesting and the graphics were top notch!
This looks a little more of the same, which is absolutely fine by me, i wanna see where they take the story with loki.
Quote from Bunglo1 hour ago, Bunglo said: Holy shit, I completely forget this was even a thing. I'm far more willing to give this a chance than the sequels.
you should watch it if you haven't yet, some of those shorts are really damn good. I think the new Netflix show "Love Death + Robots" deffo takes a page out of Animatrix book.
Quote from Pampers1 hour ago, Pampers said: implying that Keanu has range as an actor
I think the fact that Keanu is the stoic, dull and monotone actor is one of the reasons he was so perfect in the original Matrix, it's way easier for the viewer to identify and even project himself to him.
Actual badass idea from kojimasan

They're indeed a far cry from the original game.
Pretty much!
Amazing game, I'll totally play it again specially if they spent the time polishing a few edges and modernized a few things. I think I only played AW once and I still remember vividly most of the game, specially the story and characters.
Fuck man, no one can top Remedy when it comes to storytelling!
I'm not jelly, you're jelly!!
Fuckin miners and scalpers can go fuck themselves, honestly. Let gamers have their fun at an affordable price again, pl0x?!
Epic fucking franchise!
