ParticipantProbably the most anticipated game of the last few years, been about for moons, but still no release..
Video’s look great and will utilize quad core CPUs to get the best out of it
Think you will agree it looks rather stunning

ParticipantThis is only going to be PS3 yes? Bastards!

ParticipantNah PC and 360 ONLY .. PS3 is owned by Sony not Microsoft .. and Microsoft are Alan Wakes publishers 🙂

ParticipantAwesome. Was under the impression it was a PS3 release.

ParticipantDid you not watch the video’s in the links? The Microsoft bit at the beginning gives it away

ParticipantWoweee!! So… if I am planning a new PC for the summer… should it have 4 cores?
April 5, 2009 at 7:05 pm #71893To0THBRU5H
ParticipantNo Turks, the fewer cores the better, means they don’t get as distracted as you can get a mix or females and males cores and they don’t work well together.

ParticipantWell I did a faitr bit of research into this when buying my new processor – a lot of the data seems to suggest that quad cores are actually slower than equivelent dual cores because they dont work very efficiently except in specialised tasks. Alan Wake is highly unusual in that it is being optimised for 4 cores – but its a gamble as to how many other games will do that in the future.
Personally i reckon if you spent the money on a top of the range dual core you would be better off… and buy a quad core in a year or two if it looks like the technical issues with doing multi core processing are ironed out. But I’m no expert.

ParticipantMy personal view is.. buy a cheaper Xbox360, then you don’t have to worry 🙂

or get a quad core and overclock it to dual core speeds 🙂 best of both worlds

Participantor get a quad core and overclock it to dual core speeds
Or get laid, or even watch an 80’s Action Movie.. something like Commando or American Ninja
