God Damn! Alan Wake 2 Just Looks Incredible on PS5 | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

There’s nothing really surprising or new about this Alan Wake 2 gameplay demo – it’s very much the cinematic third-person shooter you may be expecting. The bottom line, however, is that it looks absurdly good – like, unbelievably so. Much of this 15-minute demo revolves around obsessively detailed environments, but it eventually segues into FMV.

During this week’s Gamescom Opening Night Live presentation, Remedy boss Sam Lake explained a little bit about how his team has incorporated live action footage into the game. Here we see a television show playing in a dressing room, which Wake interacts with to start the cutscene. It’s all mightily impressive stuff, and it’s heightened our enthusiasm for the full release.

A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you.

I may be naive, but I do believe that it’s running on PS5. But its gameplay looks unbelievably boring to me.

I hate that they chose October for this games release. Any other month and I would've been there day one. I love Remedy's art design and style and Control was one of the most interesting games last gen.

Can’t wait for this one. I’m even more excited about Alan Wake than Starfield and Baldur’s Gate 3. Remedy’s games are typically among my favorites of all time and they keep getting better. If this one supersedes Control, man…

Looks amazing but choppy, this close to release it's a bit jarring to see it being shown with so overtly visible framerate issues.
I do wonder how well that much walking will hold up though. Hopefully more investigation aspects break up the walking because that was pretty, but also pretty painful to watch.
