In our first look at the stellar PC version of Alan Wake 2, Alex Battaglia focuses on the game's demanding recommended specs, then stacks up PC against PS5 t...
People still BIG MAD the game looks stunning, plays and runs well, eh? They were so looking forward to being able to tear a piece of flesh out of Alan Wake 2.
I’d argue it’s a strong contender for the most technically sound launch of any AAA title in 2023.
I distinctly remember when PS4 gen stopped having cross gen games and the sentiments were similar
People in the low-mid range don’t care about optimisation as much as being able to run games on their PC. As tech progresses, they are forced to upgrade
This is very different from the higher end who look forward to upgrading their pc for newer tech
And when this transition happens, on the lower mid range, the tradeoff in visuals/performance is the most underwhelming as the hardware is lower spec than consoles and hence visuals more of a fallback than developers paying special attention. e.g. 2007 games targeting ps3,x360 looking like poop and running like poop at low settings vs older games
Epic could have easily made up their investment + profit from releasing it on multiple store fronts. Arguably faster than EGS exclusive. Epic just wants to raise usage of EGS and hopefully get more game sales from other than AL2
I don’t know why they want this game to fail. At first I’m very skeptical of the game but now, with reading some reviews and digital foundry’s video the game is well polished than the recent game release.
Not going to buy the game though. Not my type of game.
Look at that upvote/downvote ratio.

Naw salty about it being EGS exclusive even though Epic fronted up the moolah to get it made.
This right here. Luckily there are ways for us to play it without giving Epic any money.

People still care about this? Many people who I knew that were diehard EGS haters later relented how stupid this shit is.
Reddit never changes opinions except for politics
