We dug our Xbox 360 out of the closet to stack up the two releases.
Alan Wake Remastered is available now and offers up an improved visual performance when compared to the orignal 2010 Xbox 360 release.
We’ve got an Xbox 360 kicking around, so we thought we’d stack the two releases up against each other, side-by-side, to demonstrate just how much of a facelift the iconic title received.
Dear readers, we present you with two videos. The first is a comparison of the teaser that will play if you leave Alan Wake‘s menu dormant for too long.
The next is the opening of Alan Wake, alongside a teeny bit of gameplay that we could sync up, frame by frame (more or less).
Finally, just for kicks, here’s Sam Lake doing “that face”.
What do you make of the remaster? In a post late in September, Remedy said it had partnered with d3t to offer “re-worked cutscenes with improved facial animations and lip-syncing, richer environments, and enhanced character models that have updated skin and hair shaders,” alongside improvements “to materials and textures in general, plus anti-aliasing, shadows, wind simulation, and increased draw distances.”
Alan Wake Remastered heads to PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PS4 and PS5 on 5 October.
