dammit. i don't wanna reinstall everything because of VISTA! I hate reformats. let me rephrase... I love my system after a reformat because it is so clean and runs so nice. However, I hate installing everything again.

project offset makes me want to cream myself. I showed the guys at the office (IT) and they were AMAZED...thats DX9 too...I knew we never hit the potential of DX9...(stupid DX10 wannabes)

Alan Wake looks interesting, built off the steam engine so its going to be good in some way. I look forward to it!

Built off the Source engine, eh? ;) I wonder if this means it will be available through Steam.

EDIT: No. Its not based on Source, and I should also point out it's only going to be available for Windows Vista and XBOX 360.

These graphics look identical in quality to Half Life 2.

The player models are better though.

My question is, HL2 came out two years ago, this is all that has advanced?

/disappointed

Never judge a game based on screenshots. :wink:
I had a similar experience with Company of Heroes.
One the screenshots it looked not that good but when i played it for the first time I was overwhelmed by the beauty of the game.

I'll agree, screenshot never do anything justice, but still, you have to understand where I am coming from.

EDIT:

http://www.alanwake.com/

"Exclusive for Windows Vista and Xbox 360".

it cant be out in november, no one can play it, unless the shop meant to sell the 360 version?

Post by **skipclarke** » 10 Nov 2006, 15:00

Yeah - I posted that above a while ago :wink:

However, the add indicated

"Alan Wake (PC)"

So I posted it with the disclaimer. 8)

One can always hope... :wink: :lol:
