Alan Wake

Ruffles

<div class="IPBDescription">omg!</div>Tests of new games on a dx10 system based, the game is called Alan Wake and need no less than a Dual core to run, its incredible the graphic and the visual of the game, the link to video demo > <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGoiQaMM61E" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGoiQaMM61E</a> They are using Quad Core to max the quality and make the game in real time, and the core is overclocked about more or less 1GHz, and the 3D graphic card is Nvidia based, but i can´t understand the specific number. Well enjoy =p

I have no idea what you just said.

Eh, a lot of it was faked.. if you take a look at the explosions and 'burning' debris after the half-a**ed tornado, the fire didn't cast any light on its surroundings. Also the water edges still suffered from the standard problem of transitioning from water to land... they didn't zoom in, but on some faces you could still see a very sharp cutoff between the two.

Requiring a dual core system for that level of graphics is just kind of ludicrous. If they were doing actual radiosity and volumetric light, I could understand it. But most of that was just mocked up.

Please construct more sentences, it's hard to understand what you're saying. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

As for the YouTube video, I'm sorry to say it wasn't really that impressive, for the same reasons as Talesin has given; especially the processor requirements.

I love the simulated world system. Like Talesin said, all the individual parts weren't increadibly impressive, but I think the fact that they worked as players in a simulated world environment rather then just static lighting and static weather was impressive.

DarkFrost

How far in development is this? Is this their first real time show off? Putting in place holding effects is normal, to give people the basic view of what is going to be happening.

DOOManiac

This is the shot that gets me:

Holy crap that's gonna be awesome to see ingame. I hope you can advance time like in Oblivion and just watch a series of sunrises and sunsets...

Graphics schmaphics, the game sounds interesting and i can't wait to play it.

I thought the demonstration of it all on its own gave a very base understanding of what its capable of. Sure, the fire or explosions dont give off light, and the water is rough on the edges at the time being, but from whats seen and displayed in the video I dont think thats a far cry away from being achieved rather easily.

That´s the point Haze, imagine the possibilites of this game, his enviroment, the developer´s are trying to get the more realistic image, like real life to the game, i think they are on the right way.

Dubers

Pretty stunning

Shoebox

Looks nice. I like the tornado. But, the thought of having to have at least a dual core and graphics to the max to run this game seems to me to be a little much.
