Not sure if I care.. Perhaps once this game is released for the PC, I'll wait a good long while to buy it at a reduced cost. It's an old game afterall, I hope just because it's "new" to the PC they don't charge "new" prices for it.

Hopefully they dont do that because i can get the 360 version used for 12.99 from my local store. >_>

Good news everybody!!!

Alan Wake to be self-published by Remedy, will use Steamworks – not GFWL :toast:

OUT

ViperXTR · Feb 17, 2012

will prolly wait for retail version as retails are cheaper in our area '__'

LifeOnMars · Feb 17, 2012

The game plays like a dream fully maxed with full AA/AF @1920x1080, below 60fps with my card but smooth as silk. It's awesome and I'm glad they decided to finally bring it to PC, can't wait to get to the DLC that I never tried when I had it on the 360.

Downloaded from steam but wont play?

It plays the intro but gets stuck on the loading screen for the first episode.

Also getting random - "this game is not ready messages" when trying to start it.

Never had steam problems before goddamit!

St.Alia-Of-The-Knife · Feb 17, 2012

yay! hope its not glitchy as shit like other console to pc games (GTAIV)

LifeOnMars · Feb 17, 2012

It plays super smooth St.Alia, I have really enjoyed it and seems to be a very nice PC friendly game. (For Once)

ViperXTR · Feb 18, 2012

i heard it has a wide variety of graphical options, FOV and uses 4 threads? D:

AphexDreamer · Feb 18, 2012

Really enjoying it, picked it up a key at GreenmanGaming and downloaded it via steam.

Works great maxed out super smooth, everything looks nice but textures seem a little low res (IMO).

Would love a texture mod

Story is compelling enough to play, so that is good in my book. Some things seem a little odd and cheesy but if you just go with it, it works out.

Not what I expected, but not bad either. Currently on episode 2. I think EP1 took like and 1.30h-2.15h.

Nice, games which actually have an interesting story are hard to find these days

ViperXTR · Feb 18, 2012

so does it use 4 threads or more?

WhiteNoise · Feb 18, 2012

I knew it would be quality. The 360 version rocked and the PC version is even better!

Plays awful for me at 1080p or 1600p.
I've tried settings on Medium and High(custom also) preset, best my setup managed was 18 and 28 frames respectively.

So the dumbing down of Shadows, SSAO, AA and the usual culprits does make a difference, but not a massive one.

If it was just a matter of disabling say MSAA + FXAA and only choosing one or other, then I'm totally fine with that, just doesn't seem to work.

I haven't dropped below 30fps once?? Looking at your hardware it should rip the game to shreds. Driver problem or something borking it I would guess, you will get there

I think you'll like it e, if you take the time to appreciate the story and everything it's a great game.

You would think..though haven't been able to find anything about the game's performance versus a certain driver version.

Checked out the new application profiles that have Alan Wake crossfire increase - no difference, still bad - so bad that even at low it's only 31 frames!

EDIT: Tried with Crossfire off, and it's about the same performance.
So one 6970 = 30sh at best, and two has no improvement no matter which application profile being used.

LifeOnMars · Feb 18, 2012

Very weird, hope you get it sorted bud.

KainXS · Feb 19, 2012

plays good for me, like it so far

AphexDreamer · Feb 19, 2012

How do you know you have DLC?

MilkyWay · Feb 20, 2012

I might give this a try but £20 is too much for something i can get on 360 for less. Maybe ill check out the retail version.

Really, the PC version should of been out 2 years ago ?.. so to me it's worth about what a typical 2 year old game is.

AphexDreamer · Feb 21, 2012

Alan Wake on PC was profitable within 48 hours

Piracy is just so bad on the PC lol.

I honestly believe that if developers upped their game and released proper PC optimised games that push/utilize the hardware and innovate on all fronts that alot of PC gamers would not hesitate to purchase full price games.

We have been shafted with so many dodgy console ports that for whatever reason don't use a PC's capabilities, it's no surprise that alot of people have resorted to piracy just to see if the damn game will even run correctly.

Release fully working games (without any of this day 1 patch bullshit)
Use a PC's capabilities (including scaling of hardware)
Provide a demo that runs as the finall product will (so we can try before we buy)
