PreviousNew Demon's Souls screenshots released Final Fantasy XIII PS3 sold twice as many as 360  Next

First 11 minutes of Alan Wake released

Spoiler warning...Obviously.
The first 11 minutes of Alan Wake have emerged on the Internet and we've stuck all of them below.

We know it's redundant but just in case: Spoilers ahead.



Microsoft's claimed that Alan Wake 'sets the bar for cinematic action' and now you can be the judge of that.

Don't do it stonecold. Be Strong!

@ Solid Snake. Yes MGS4 raised the bar for cinematic action what with it being 90% cinematics.

Someone who never played it, i see.

Oh look screen tearing again! why oh do we have to put up with this, we never had it on old xbox.Its all abit jerky isn't it.
djm99 on 16 Apr '10
Pity both MGS and Uncharted were pretty weak video games underneath!

They were Cinematic but if the games play like cheap rip-offs of other titles then its not really setting the bar very high!

This is the video player and not the Game, I havent even watched the video but Alan Wake will have no screen tearing, this has been confirmed by Remedy on numerous occasions. Better?
StonecoldMC on 16 Apr '10
good news then. been waiting for such a long time for this game, hope it's a decent length.

You see if you had actually played those games you would have known that they were amazing games with great cinematics and even better gameplay, but you are a troll. I bet you think halo 3 is the best game ever don't ya?
bipod on 16 Apr '10
Screen tearing doesn't bother me too much.

Darksider's ps3 had loads of it on later levels especially, it didn't spoil the fun.
And a game i just completed 'heavy rain' also had loads of it in certain spots(for some reason).
It wasn't too offputting.

Looking forward to alan wake though i must admit.

Alan Wake. A.Wake. Awake! Jesus biscuits, that's clever!

djm99 on 16 Apr '10
Well throughout playing Heavy Rain, not once did Miss Paige tear through the screen jiggling her boobies at me Crying or Very sad

Anyone got any idea when the reviews are coming for this?. They can't be far off now.

Yeah, right. He's a troll.

The likes of you and SoLiDsNaKE zeroing in on a blatently 360 specific thread like flies on s**t, and posting masturbatory fan-wank about Uncharted and Heavy Rain are perfectly innocent of trolling.

(I'm not even going to ref Dragon's La... MGS here).

Took me about 3 days to complete it for the first time(probably about 8-10 hours).

Then it took me another day or 2 to finish it off to get the platinum trophy.
Once i completed the main game the first time, i used the guide to see all the 6 different endings.
I don't mind cheating once i've actually completed the game, but i won't look at guide's until i've completed it on my own first.

Better game than i expected as well.

I am not the one who came into a thread about Alan wake and called MGS and uncharted weak games and cheap rip-offs, DJ Mercenary did. I am only defending those games and I am not posting fan wank, I am correcting people who obviously have not played the games.

Prat. Read the first post.
ricflair on 16 Apr '10
Without wanting to get involved in the current 'debate', I thought the video looked good.

I particularly like the lighting effects and the shadowy effect on the nasties.

If the game itself is a good enjoyable challenge (the story should be secondary) then I am definitely buying it.

Looking forward to sifting through a few reviews in the next few weeks to justify my current belief that Alan Wake could be a good'un.

Really?, your post in the FFXIII thread says otherwise:

Final fantasy 13 was probably too complex for the 360 boys. They should just stick with their retarded shooters.

That sounds like Sony 'fan wank' to me. Confused

That's the worst thing about this place, all the sad little kiddies are allowed to run riot with their fanboy dross. *sigh*.

Hhahaha its SOUNS LIKE FAN WANK TO EVERYONE omg im tired of your blatantly 360 critical quotes. We have FAR btter shooters than you and multiplats play better.

And as for the Halo 3 comment, i think it's my best evr shooter. UC2 and MGS4 are weak games which do not intrest me in the slightest possible manner. In fact, when i saw the advert for UC2 i thought, wow this looks gay

IT SOUNDS LIKE FAN WANK TO EVERYONE ONE ON THIS SITE BECAUSE THEY ARE ALL BLOODY XBOTS f**kTARD. And our shooters are better than the xbox ones, killzone 2 destroys all of the xbox exclusive shooters. THE only reason why the multiplatform games have a edge on the xbox is because the lazy developers don't try to get as much out of the ps3 as possible.

You have not even played U2 and MGS, you have only seen a bloody advert. Hell even if you did go out and buy the games I am sure your mongo mind would not be able to handle the awesomeness of those games. You should just stick to halo and COD its about all your mind can handle.
bipod on 16 Apr '10
What a charmer.

I assume his aggressive, abusive, homophobic rants will result in a ban???

Not bad for only a few days on the site. I'd rather read the spammers posts - at least they post once and then sod off.
ricflair on 16 Apr '10

@ Solid Snake. Yes MGS4 raised the bar for cinematic action what with it being 90% cinematics.

Someone who never played it, i see.

Never finished it. Got to the part in what i'm guessing is prague where snake's wandering around in a trench coat looking for informants.

Besides its widely known that kojima's known for long cinematics and MGS4 is no exception. you play for about 15mins and then be treated to a lengthy cut scene.

I'd say uncharted got it right, though. Not as much as say Mass Effect 2 did. But Bioware are the masters of game narrative as far as i'm concerned.

What Remedy did with Max Payne also makes me hopeful that Alan Wake will be a briliant and engaging experience.

Ah, but you've got to admit that when they/we can string a decent sentence or argument together, and someone on the other side makes an equally valid point, it can get quite interesting, even when it totally departs from the point of the original thread...

And it's always very funny when the likes of Grasshopper storm over the horizon and steamroller the whole debate with some genius pidgin argument about how MS embody the crusty spunk of the devil on the curtains of gaming...
Moribundman on 16 Apr '10
Christ what a bunch of b*tches. I've got a Ps3, don't own a 360, but this looks great. Whats the problem?
feeg86 on 16 Apr '10
Well said feeg86, its a shame so many threads are hijacked and dreailed by the usual Fanboy spouting nonsesne!!

Still CVG, isnt the worst site out there for it, so we just need to ignore them and hope they all go away Wink .
StonecoldMC on 16 Apr '10
Why do people who 'hate' (maybe dislike is a better word but on these forums I'll use it) a specific console care whether a game is good or bad on that console?

Surely their views don't disuade someone from buying the game?
paul_brown940 on 16 Apr '10
I can't wait for this. I am not watching the video...but like Stonecold i am very tempted. Whats you predictions on its Metric review score? Im going for 86, but im hoping for 90.
TykerD3 on 16 Apr '10

Well Max Payne 1 & 2 got 89 and 86 respectivley on Metacritic and Remedy hope to gain a higher score with Alan Wake.

Ill be happy to play the Game no matter what score it gets, but I have a hunch itll be looking at a score in the 90's!!

In Remedy we trust!!
StonecoldMC on 16 Apr '10
Let me ask you Stonecold, what would you think if, when released, AWAKE really sucks. Bad controls, bad story, dull to play, bugged etc.....I would cry as its been built up so much and I changed my XBOX gamer tag to: Alan Wait....

He would probably deny it was a bad game, and still come to this site and tell us all how great a game it was. Besides like he is going to give you an answer hes supposed to be working.
bipod on 16 Apr '10
Apart from the fact that I can't be bothered to wait whilst the whole thing streams onto my machine, that dialogue and voiceover is 100% cheese.

Game looks great and will be buying it, but I don't know how long I'll be able to handle that voice.

Damn it, ive been busted Embarassed !!

And to TykerD3, if Alan Wake is shoite, ill say its shoite, but its nots going to be, we both know that Wink !

Ugh... (falls on knees) Please CVG- do something about the fanboys. This place is chock full of them. Or maybe they're still on their easter holidays...

While I prefer to co-exist more-or-less peacefully as a general rule of thumb regarding the various walks of life, I do find myself increasingly agreeing with the notion that lethal violence can be a justifiable means to settle certain situations/outcomes.
The_KFD_Case on 16 Apr '10
That looks frickin' awesome!

It's a shame I'll probably never have the chance to play it though, as I'd only ever buy it as a PC release.
loopy bubbletush on 16 Apr '10
Looks grand, and exactly the kind of thing I was expecting.

And who is that bipod tw*t? Man, he's living proof that these forums need better moderation or an ignore feature...
_Marty_ on 16 Apr '10
The in-game action displayed in the video clip looks good. One of my first thoughts upon seeing the game play is how much better the controls, aiming, etc. would have handled on the initially planned PC version. That alone seals the deal that I will not buy this game first hand. A second hand purchase in due time methinks.

Hahahahahhah KILLZONE 2 IS s**tE COMPARED TO HALO 3 GEARS OF WAR 1,2,3 THERE ARE HARDLY ANY "XBOTS" ON THIS SITE IT IS POLLUTED WITH PS FANBOYS I THINK WE SHOULD HAVE A SURVEY WHO THINKS IT WAS FAN WANK?

HAHAHAH THE REASON I DID NOT GET THEM U snooker cue IS BECAUSE THAT THEY LOOK OK BUT NOT GREAT IF YOU ARE SO CONFIDENT THAT KZ2 MGS4 AND UC2 ARE SO MUCH BETTER THAN ALL THE 360 SHOOTERS TELL ME THEIR REVIEWS AND SALES I BET ALL 3 OF THEM PUT TOGETHER DO NOT ADD UP TO HALO 3!

f**king hell your are a RETARD you are so blinded by your own stupidity you call evrybody else stupid especially 360 players but you sir are by far the most stupid TROLL ive ever heard

CRAPZONE 2 COULD NOT LICK HALO'S JEB
