This is looking better all the time :shock:

Should be out real soon for the Xbox360

Sure looks good, wonder if my X1900 can run that in all it's glory. :lol:
Also curious how the gameplay will be. :)

Alan Wake will probably need a quad core and a GeForce 8 generation card to run it in all its glory.

And it won't be out in January. There's no official release date or even estimate. I'd bet on a Q3 2007 release.

Sorry but a PC game titled "Alan Wake" isn't gonna sell very good here in the USA

That has got to be the most lamest title I have ever heard for a PC game, lol That's the best they can do... Alan Wake? lol

World of Warcraft? Lame

Final Fantasy? Hardly original. They still both sell though :D

I see absolutely nothing wrong with the game title. Most of us dont really care about a game title anyway, I'm not quite sure why you would.
Would you prefer it was "PWN CITY 9000 LOLZ" or something?

HAHAHAHA! :lol: Nice call!

Quad core eh? How does one get a Quad core? Is it merely two Dual Cores put together? OR are the quad cores not out yet? I see the ASUS p5B supports Quad Core, hopefully I'm ok if I get that.

is this DX10? I don't think it is.

RE: "is this DX10? I don't think it is."

As it is a Vista game - it is reported to be such.

Quad cores are already out for a while.

There aren't many applications which make use of quad core processors yet. Alan Wake will be one of the first games which will. It'll apparently use one core for physics calculations, one for streaming data, one for graphics preparation, and one for general gameplay and AI calculations.

The Source engine will also make use of quad cores soon:

kentsfield and G80 SLI /= 80 grand

Aye, I doubt Aegia PhysX will survive much longer. There's just no real need for it with multi-core general-purpose CPUs becoming standard hardware in gaming systems.

Living Ghost · Post by **Living Ghost** » 02 Jan 2007, 18:22

Yeah. I mean, if games can make windows utilize those 2 extra cores well enough, Physx is dead.

Post by **g00seberry** » 02 Jan 2007, 19:13

When was PhysX ever alive? lol

How many people actually bought one? I really feel sorry for those who did, what a complete waste of money.

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 02 Jan 2007, 20:02

I bought one ... whilst it's not in my main machine anymore and I bought it pretty much just for GRAW ... it enhanced it quite a bit and added to my enjoyment of the game ... even if GRAW wasn't the game I was hoping it to be.
No regrets ... don't feel sorry for me I don't feel I wasted my money.

It's all relative and just a point of view ... :D
