Allen Wake

[SweetxinsanityxSarah]

This game has been in production longer than the movie Avatar, believe it.

I know once I get the right console, THIS is defiently going to be on my shelf. It has a sort of silent hill feel to it; where you rely on unique weapons like you do with fatal frame. The scare factor is defiently top notch, and the graphics and story line are nothing to shake stick at. Sure the clunky controls need to be fixed alittle, but I think it's got some promise at luring in those tired of all the silent hills and want a game that can really freak you out without concentrating on all the gore making you feel like your playing another resident evil.

I think it's pretty promising. But that's my opinion. xP

Every time a game is in development for a half decade+, it turns out to be mediocre.

Why is this? Is it due to theory being limited early on by outdated hardware? Or is it just general laziness that takes up years?

[SweetxinsanityxSarah]

I'm not saying its OMG WOW GO GET IT material. But it does look rather interesting. All and all I say it's a mix between the first silent hill and fatel frame.

They should have, for all the years making it; made the controls alil better.

It's been out for a bit now, and from what I hear, is nothing special.

It's interesting, I can't remember a game that got hyped with WE'VE BEEN DEVELOPING THIS FOR A DECADE that was majorly successful.

I don't know why this is.

[SweetxinsanityxSarah]

They could have made it in 3 years or 2 i dont care, as long as they somewhat made it right.

Everyone's different on liking things. xP

I think it's rather wicked looking. I like a game that can make you jump 3 feet in the air with the scare factor and doesnt concentrate on immense amounts of blood and gore. Same deal with my movies. When I was younger I couldnt play Fatal Frame 2 all the way through, stopped at the broken neck chick when she appeared 2 inches away from my camara lense through a wall. I'd get it now but the store that had it closed a year ago. Let's hope this game has that scare factor and doesnt seem like a boring version of Silent hill.

But they didn't.

They spent the better half of a decade making something no one will remember in a month.

Same thing happened with Too Human, and some other shit that I'm blanking on (IE; that no one remembers in a month)

[SweetxinsanityxSarah]

That's just you though.

I'll end up remembering it, and good for these ppls making something that stands out that cant get clumped in with DMC, FF, or GOW. Even though it somewhat hints at silent hill.

A game to forget is Siren, which reminds me of a poor rip off of fatel frame.

Siren's awesome, and is not even remotely similar to Fatal Frame.

Point being, in months, Allen Wake will be all but forgotten, and will receive no long term recognition. It's interesting, in that you would think after spending the better half of a decade on something, it would be lengthy, well made and memorable, but that often seems to contrast with reality.

[SweetxinsanityxSarah]

I thought it was awful. And it just reminded me of fatel frame 2 due to the characters. Comparing it to silent hill would have been an insult in my opinion.

Sure it wont be remembered cause some ppls cant shut up about FF13, or the next one coming up versus, Call of duty, and GOw3 along with Bayonetta. They should have waited alittle more before releasing it. Or hyped it abit more. Cause I only found out about it through X-play. Still though I like the looks of it.

It's made by the creator od Silent Hill 1+2.

I don't think you gave it much of a chance.

[Pyrodragon125]

The only reason you seem to think every game out there is clumped together with DMC and FF is because you're only playing what X-Play tells you to.

Honestly am I the only person that goes through game stores and just checks out whatever happens to catch my eye?

Two words; Too Human.
That game was in the making for ten years, it's the worst piece of trash to ever even enter my system. Unplayable garbage.
