Remedy’s Markus has recently taken to the Alan Wake forum to reveal a few new details regarding the games graphics when it finally is released on PC.
A lot of rumour pointed towards little change being made from the original graphics on the Xbox 360 but it seems these were based on no fact at all. According to Markus not only does the game “looks pretty awesome in 1080p or ‘2540p’” the team has tweaked areas which they had to optimize especially for the “memory budget on Xbox360”.
He went onto admit that due to the game using “6991 textures in total” re-texturing the whole game would have been “a TON of work”; which is the main reason behind the team only tweaking certain areas.
