Since the announcement of Alan Wake’s PC version, a lot of gamers have been wondering whether Remedy would be using textures of a higher resolution or not. And at last, we can finally answer to that question.

However, make no mistake here. The engine will not scale that well beyond four cores. Markus claimed that a quad-core PC features ‘a lot of power, and the engine is pretty efficient‘. We’re really curious to find out whether or not those claims are true, so you can expect a PC Performance Analysis when the game is actually released.
