Alan Wake

[Psy]

This is going the way of MW2.

Sort of interesting but some of the things that stood out to me most were the animations - couldn't they have some contextual stuff like a catious walk cycle so it wouldn't look so retarded when you go from running from the cops to simply walking normally as you would down a calm street. it looks really off and kills any sense of immersion!

secondly the actual chase looked boring as fuck, there was no real feeling that you were running from someone or doing anything to avoid the cops other than simply walking down a linear path. there's only one option, how can you go wrong, so why feel any aprehension?

as far as voice acting and police dialogue go - it sounds fine, great in places, dunno what anyone is complaining about tbh.

also 7 years for this, i sure hope 6 of those years were spent playing ping pong in the rec room D:

This is going the way of MW2.

yeah because I am certainly looking forward to the 32-man team deathmatch gameplay of Alan Wake.

[Jetsetlemming]

Again I fail to see where anyone would be surprised.

Yeah, the writing was on the wall as soon as Microsoft was announced as publisher.

I'm still waiting for Fable 2

Holy shit nice... those 22 minutes of gameplay we're pretty intense! I want this... now.

I'm sorry, but that trailer was horrible. I'll pick it up when it comes out, but I'm nowhere near as excited as I was before.

[jaboo224]

I personally liked the trailer.. I have been excited about this game for a long time as well . Its rather exciting that these games are getting stronger in narrative and each attempt seems to be rather awesome. I like the atmosphere and the small town environments as i grew up in a small town. This, Bad Company 2, Metro 2033 and SplinterCell pretty much all in the same quarter... geeze i feel spoiled already with mass effect 2 haha

[dux]

I stopped caring about this 3 years ago.

[-HP-]

Yeah, well.. you can start caring again, It's months from being released.

[Buddy]

What the fuck happened to those animations? The first few bits in the trailer are looking like some sort of animation concepts made during preproduction or something lol.

Also this game will never pay for its developement costs let alone make any profit

[Thrik]

Yeah that's really weird. Even the animation in the logo at the end was a bit stiff, whereas in past trailers it's been great. Something has to be wrong there.

[PhilipK]

Still really looking forward to this

The atmosphere seems great!
