I have Alan Wake and looking at the visuals on my TV, Uncharted 2 is far better. Cars in Alan Wake lack that extra amount of detail and there isn't the same amount of detail on their faces.

Is this a joke? Alan Wake isnt even a HD game, it runs in 540p or something along those lines. Uncharted 2 is about 40x better looking.

Looks pretty sharp, but not as sharp as Uncharted 2. U2 bags it still with various things around especially the moving object/persons type things.

Having played both I would say Uncharted 2 looks a bit better, but not by much. I do like the lighting effects in Alan Wake though, and the story is better. Pity it's so short.

Yep, that's what the game's like. The game runs in 1080p anyway, don't know where you people have got your info from.

1080p? You sure?

Perhaps you're a misinformed fool who thinks he knows much more then he actually does? Perhaps?

My fav line from the article...

Alan Wake's native resolution is indeed 960x540

Alan Wake is basically in Standard Definition like a PS2 game. In fact, the majority of the Xbox 360 exclusives are all SUB-HD.

That why it says clearly that it runs in 1080p/1080i/720p on the back of the box? Hmm? And it runs in 1080p on my TV?

And i could tell people you're a smart person, but that would be lying. Have a clue about how systems work, especially HD ones. Its being scaled to 1080p, everything on 360 can scale to any res. Its actual native res is HALF that of 1080p, 540p. Since High Definition begins at 1280x720, Alan Wake is NOT a HD game, just like final fantasy 13 for 360 (PS3 one is HD).

Aah, didn't notice the native resolution there at all- my mistake.

I was talking to one of my mates who has it too, and he said it's got the best graphics he's ever seen o_0

Well, being that it's posted in the Playstation section, I wonder which one more people will favor?

And are visuals really all that important? I found Uncharted 2 to be way too short, sure it looked nice, but I was left wanting a lot more.
Also, for not being an HD game, I find that Alan Wake looks really nice.

The topic is about a visual comparison.

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It inserts a newline in a random spot.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    never had that i don't think
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    run h2testw on it

  • DinohScene @ DinohScene:
    when SD cards/microSD write speeds drop below a meg a sec, they're usually on the verge of dying

    Samsung SD format can sometimes fix them too

    yes looks like an faulty sd

    @Psionic Roshambo i may try that with my dead sd cards
