Wow, impressive stuff, Barnie! Not only did you escape from Black Mesa, but you also managed to extend your appearances contract w/out Valve's knowledge. :wink:

Nice screens too, Doug. To be honest I hadn't heard of this game at all, but it looks fantastic. I thought at first that it was using the Source engine, but it looks like it may be remedy's own proprietary pixels. I visited the site, and liked this description from eurogamer:

Taking its cue from Stephen King novels and the kind of scary small town Americana that David Lynch explored so memorably in Twin Peaks, it's a free roaming action adventure that the makers of Max Payne are pitching as "truly next generation"

The game does looks superb Doug ... 8)
I can only find release dates for the Xbox 360 version and they range from 1/31/2006 at EB games (US) to ... 03/03/2006 at Play.com (UK) and June 12, 2006 at Amazon (UK) ... interestingly Amazon US doesn't seem to have the game listed yet ... :?

Here's a good looking game ... Project Offset

Check out their 1920x1080 HD Sneak Peek video in there downloads section ... it looks like it's going to be an amazing game ... :shock:

All their downloads download faster (for me) from here ... http://www.3dgamers.com/games/projectoffset/downloads/
and 3DGamers has a Crowd Test video ... which is pretty impressive too ... 8)

Alan Wake sure does look impressive. It was a hit at last year's E3. Project Offset looks absolutely amazing. Hopefully other developers decide to use the Offset Engine. I am also eagerly awaiting TES4: Oblivion.

Gawd, these graphics now days are getting good. It's getting too real. Those screenshots are the most impressive I've ever seen so far for a computer game, wow!

Amazing unbelieveable

Neat-O :)

I'd almost forgotten about this thread. I will definitely keep an eye on this one.

Paddy,

The jan 2006 launch was proven to be wrong. :( as per the news on the official game site.

I wonder what GFX card minimum this one will need? :roll:

Post by **Paddy the Wak** » 18 Jan 2006, 13:46

I guessed that the release dates were wrong ... thanks for the heads-up ... :D

Ive never heared of this game before?!

Looks very impressive though!!!

Still waiting :). But we got some more eyecandy screenshots to rest our eyes recently.

Post by **ctrlsteef** » 24 Jan 2006, 08:57

This game is from the makers of the Max Payne games, right?

Post by **skipclarke** » 18 Feb 2006, 04:05

In the new Game Informer magazine, in the "rumor" section it says that Microsoft is on the verge of picking up publishing rights to Alan Wake, so would that make it a Xbox 360 exclusive only and maybe PC?

Also - then will it be a Vista OS required game ?? :?

Post by **skipclarke** » 18 Feb 2006, 04:08

Alan Wake is made by Remedy Entertainment Ltd. a privately held developer of cinematic action games and franchises.
Remedy is based in Espoo, Finland.

Remedy has developed the critically acclaimed and top selling Max Payne franchise. "Max Payne" is a trademark of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.

There is something just so freaking amazing about those screenoths...they are so subtle, yet SO realistic...they look like they are in SUPER high res, and they basically look so true to life my eyes are bugging out.

HOLY JEESUS.

Post by **skipclarke** » 18 Feb 2006, 15:03

There is a 66 Mg Hi-Def trailer at the main site - you should watch it :shock: amazing !!

IIDX · Post by **IIDX** » 18 Feb 2006, 19:39

Wow I just got the trailer and it literally gave my goosebumps.

Reminds me of phantasmagoria kind, moving to a small town and having all that stuff start go wrong... but wow, that just looked and felt amazing. I can't wait to play that game.
