Alan Wake preview at Hooked Gamers
Posted by ADM on 18/12/06
Hooked Gamers has an preview up which does a good job in summarising all available information, though unfortunately without offering anything new.
This level of commitment really shows in the game. The town and the nature around it are more realistic that anything we’ve seen to date. The draw distance of 2 kilometres (1.2 miles) ensures that buildings and trees will not just pop up out of nowhere as you cruise down a mountainous road and admire a view of a beautifully rippling lake surrounded by mountains on your left. Try to imagine this scene and add to this a realistic movement of the sun on the sky (and resultant shadows cast by the mountains and every other item in the landscape), sunsets and sunrises as well as eerie night-time lighting from street lamps and flashlights. Now, try to throw in ultra-realistic fog effects and twisters that rip apart houses piece by piece, sucking them up to the sky and throwing them around the landscape.
