    It's like Alan Wake

    gorgeous game, beautiful environments and light effects, animations are spot on

    worst lip syncing I've seen in a long time, due to terrible facial rigs, from what I can tell

    Shit, that reminds me, I need to finish Alan Wake.


    I put it down before AusPAX and I've been busy ever since.

    Yeah, I started it this summer and never got to finish it when school started

    winter break came around and I wanted to pick it back up, and then along came that steam sale madness and fucked that plan right up

    Alan Wake is a pretty short game. I think I finished it over a weekend and I played other games too.

    I am thrilled about how this game is turning out, and the mocap/facecap system is intriguing, but damn if it doesn't make a lot of their heads look really swimmy in the videos I've seen right now. It's gorgeous, and really works from a gameplay perspective, but it's unsettling and uncomfortable to see the head bobbing about on a frame that doesn't react, lead or follow like it should.
    Yeah I was thinking this too but I didn't want to come off as a massive graphics whore.

    It's like the heads are attached on with sticks and there is no flex along the spine along the upper back.

    The faces by themselves though are crazy good.

    This is the only thing I could see when I watched the trailer.

    Oh man, Allan Wake.

    One of the few games where I thought, enough of this gameplay. I want to progress this story.

    Not to say the gameplay was bad, it was pretty fun. It Was just that I liked that I liked the story so much.

    The gameplay in Alan Wake was the worst part of the game. The damn flashlight mechanic was a cool idea but it ended up being annoying by the end of the game. The enemies took too damn long to "light up" before you could kill them.

    I was being a poop about you being a poop

    because we're talking about things that aren't perfect about a game that is close to perfect

    and you're all "you're a bunch of babies" and you have a show that critiques games

    Well they did a very good job of imitating exactly how Rockstar games play when you shoot things, then

    what does this post mean, exactly

    do you mean that when you shoot things, they fall over, or

    I'm honestly trying to understand

    did you see the shooting bits in the trailer

    the dot reticule, the over-the shoulder perspective at the same angle, the circular minimap and life indicator

    it must be pretty grounded in the gameplay engine of red dead, that's clear

    I just think there's a lot of games that do this and it's not just rockstar

    it's not like a criticism it just looks really identical to the shooting system in red dead

    which is sensible, the shooting in red dead was competent, they're clearly concentrating on different aspects

    it comes out at the same time as Brink though, so I won't get it at release. Too poor.

    ...Good point! But from a gameplay perspective it was infuriating and you were expected to do it pretty frequently.

    Jesus, no fucking kidding.

    What if they get old radio shows! All cruising around, listening to closets empty themselves onto Fibber McGee's head.

    (Because I'm a huge goddamn dork, I double-checked Wikipedia prior to making this post, to make sure that in-car radios existed in the 40s, and that Fibber McGee and Molly was still on the air. They did, and it was.)

    That article also mentions that Clint's got a collaboration in the works with Mike Patton. I love Mass Effect and all, but the Mike Patton thing got me INFINITELY more excited.

    It would probably be too much to ask for some old radio serials, right

    Like classic old Orson Welles "The Shadow" kinda stuff
