A riddle is a statement or question or phrase having a double or veiled meaning, put forth as a puzzle to be solved. ![]() ![]() Lighting is a particular highlight, increasing the moody atmosphere even more than the original version. Cutscenes don't pack the same punch, remaining at 30fps, but the main game is the best Alan Wake has ever felt. The 4K resolution looks incredible, especially on Xbox Series X, and is accompanied by a smooth 60fps during its gameplay. The core experience remains the same, with all the same problems the original faced, such as a cumbersome camera, some frustrating enemy encounters and floaty controls, but the visual experience of it all brings it up to 2021 standards. Remedy has pumped a lot of love into their cult classic title, ensuring that returning fans feel at home and new fans understand what the fuss is all about. Luckily, they're both included here as part of the main admission fee, so be sure to spend a few extra hours unveiling their secrets.Īs for the remastered visuals, it's a pretty strong upgrade, sometimes looking like a brand-new game entirely. In all honesty, it's baffling that Remedy omitted them from the main game and added them as paid DLC, as they feel like a necessity in regards to the overall narrative. For anyone who's invested in the story, these are paramount to understand the full picture. Once the main campaign is done, the remaster also packs in the two superb post-launch episodes: The Signal and The Writer. While we don't want to reveal what the contents are, they do work to flesh out Remedy's plans for a connected universe, providing more Alan Wake lore for fans who want to expand their knowledge. New for the remaster are a series of videos that can be unlocked by simply scanning them on your smart device. There are also a few QR codes, which were seen in the original, but here they link to completely new rewards. It's especially irritating when some of these items contain key story elements that you could potentially miss. It felt over-saturated back in 2010, and it still detracts from the experience, especially for completionists. With over 100 manuscript pages, 100 thermos cups to find, and several other collectables, you'll spend an extraordinary amount of time combing the world for anything you find. Being a remaster, Alan Wake does little to change up the core experience, meaning there are still far too many objects to find in the world. Outside of combat, you'll be exploring the world and finding all sorts of collectables. It means you'll have to come face to face with the enemies in some truly terrifying encounters, made even worse when you're forced to fend off multiple foes at once. Before raining down gunfire, you'll need to whittle their health down with your trusty flashlight. Your time will mostly be spent fending off shadowy figures in some pretty unique combat. Some moments give the feeling of a more open-ended game, but the story funnels you down one path. The story is approached linearly, with players controlling Wake through a variety of environments. Alan Wake also understands how close the horror and comedy genre are, succeeding in blending them both in darkly humorous ways, without sacrificing the tension. It's an addictive loop, something Remedy also attempted with Quantum Break but failed to nail as hard as they do here. ![]() Each episode begins recapping the events of the previous one, and every single chapter closes out on a cliff-hanger, begging you to continue forward. For anyone who has grown up reading Stephen King novels, the story of Alan Wake will resonate massively.Īll of this is broken up into segmented chapters, giving the feeling of a TV series playing out. ![]() ![]() The game merges survival horror elements from titles such as Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark, whilst also sprinkling some horror iconic film influences, including sequences reminiscent of The Shining. ![]() What transpires is a horror-fuelled adventure, as Wake's upcoming book - that he can't remember writing - appears to be coming to life before his very eyes. The story of Alan Wake sees the titular character taking a vacation with his wife Alice, in an attempt to break out of a period of writer's block the successful author is facing. As a result, Alan Wake Remastered has arrived in the hopes of garnering a wider audience, and absolutely succeeds at brushing up this classic horror title. Fast forward to today and developer Remedy Entertainment is working on bringing a connected universe to fans, gathering games such as Control and Alan Wake into one shared franchise. The initial batch of people jumping into the game was small, but thankfully over the years, it's gained a cult following via word of mouth. When Alan Wake first launched back in 2010, it had the unfortunate task of going up against Red Dead Redemption. ![]() ![]() ![]() Trip Monitor (Monitors fuel cost on trips).The screen images change colors and indicator bar moves on the screen to simply give a visual on your current driving and lets you know when you need to improve to be more efficient. You'll also notice the leaves turning red when your fuel economy falls below your calculated average MPG. A heavy foot, steep incline, or anything leading to less than ideal fuel mileage will shift the indicator to the red side of the screen meaning POOR. How does it work? When your driving pattern is ideal you'll notice green leaves appear on the Mileage Coach screen and your indicator bar will shift to the green side of the gauge, representing GOOD.

The Evolution CS2 programmer not only re-programs the vehicle to improve power and performance, but also doubles as a gauge-display device providing vital information about the performance of the newly tuned vehicle and can also act as scan tools for reading and clearing trouble codes. I just have a hard time wrapping my brain around EVERY truck on their dyno FAR exceeded what the manufacturers rated(and validated) HP and TQ should be.Product Name: Edge Evolution CS2 - DIESELįitment Notes: Edge Evolution CS2 - DIESEL - 01-16 GM Duramax, 03-12 Dodge Cummins, 94-19 Ford Powerstroke, 2018 3.0L Powerstroke Not to say Ford couldnt hold the motor back in tuning and the next year just turn it up a bit and so on and so forth. There was a big article/video about this on the Corvette Forum i think it was a few years ago. I believe all manufacturers are required to comply with the same testing methods and report their results. they can be off and still maintain their rating. I think the tolerance is fairly low like 2% off the rated. I dont know how many engines are actually tested, but its random samples off the line throughout the builds that are validated. lbs minus 15% is 830.Īnd if you know how powertrain and SAE validation of numbers work, they just cant say "1050". I just find it odd that 3 manufacturers with fairly even "ratings" at the crank have VASTLY different numbers on a dyno. In all my years of tuning and building high HP cars the only thing I know a chassis dyno is good for is comparing your car to your car. Guessing their truck has the 3.55 which would gain it A LITTLE advantage, but the 6.7 is definitely a much more stout motor than the L5P. I would say the Powerstroke to Duramax comparison should be the most fair as they both are running "almost" the same 10spd trans. I feel like if manufacturers were LEGIT pushing those numbers at the crank, they would be advertising those numbers since the diesel torque wars seem to be never ending and drive sales to no end. Lets take their "at the wheel" number of a 6.7 and add say 15% for drivetrain losses(thats a fairly standard drivetrain loss in an auto). So their at the wheel numbers are close to or higher than rated "at the crank" numbers. ![]() ![]() ![]() Revitalize dry skin and improve its ability to repair itself with Senté Dermal Repair Ultra-Nourish.

A plug-in of additional phrases was also created and later included as part of EV Override.Ī remake of EV Override named Cosmic Frontier: Override was launched on April 21, 2020, by Peter Cartwright, scenario designer at Ambrosia Software, and reached its funding goal on May 24, 2020. The fighter pilot voices in the original game were provided by Patrick Delahanty. Peter Cartwright wrote the scenario for EV Override and the Australian company ATMOS created the scenario of EV Nova both originated as plug-ins for the preceding games before being picked up by Ambrosia as sequels. Early test versions of the game went by the name 'Merc' (short for ' mercenary'). Ambrosia Software, headed by Andrew Welch, managed marketing, registration, and distribution, as well as providing several external libraries used by the games. He also devised and created the scenario for the first game. Matt Burch programmed all three games in their entirety except for the registration system and various libraries. The series was created as a joint effort between several people and groups. In addition there is a trading card game available based on the storyline of the EV Nova universe. Two other similar games based on the original, EV Override and EV Nova, followed in 19 respectively, the latter of which is also available on Microsoft Windows. Welcome to EV Nova.Escape Velocity is a single-player role-playing space trading and combat video game series first introduced in 1996 by Ambrosia Software for the Apple Macintosh. It is into this maelstrom of territorial contention that you are thrust, like a pebble tumbling aimlessly between the tectonic fault lines that uncomfortably separate these divisions of humanity. Indeed, rather than reunited brothers, they were strangers. As rediscovered technology finally allowed contact between these far-flung children of the Colonial Council to tentatively resume, they found that they had little in common. ![]() They each followed markedly different paths in their evolution. but in their isolation, a strange thing happened. Time marched on in its relentless journey toward the future, and each of these civilizations slowly reconstructed their humanity. The few pockets of humanity that did survive developed in near solitude, clinging perilously to life like a tree desperately trying to gain root on a rocky cliff. The collapse of a central government caused civilization to slide helplessly into a dark age of isolation. They were left adrift in the lonely void of space, forced to fend for themselves, truly strangers in strange lands. Open rebellion caused the destruction of critical parts of the Hypergate system, severing entire systems from the umbilical cord of civilization. Like a wave in the darkness of space, colonization flowed outwards from Earth, until discord and dissent against a growingly corrupt central government caused it to come crashing down. The eccentric genius in Omata Kane, whose Hypergate system brought distant stars within reach, has all but been forgotten. ![]() The remnants of the Colonial Council's utopian vision of a united galaxy are littered about like so many discarded dreams. ![]() With a completely redesigned gaming engine, EV Nova thrusts you into a sprawling universe dominated by a myriad of warring factions, each sharing a common bond, but so philosophically different as to make conflict inevitable. It maintains everything you loved about EV, multiplied by 100x.ĮV Nova is the third game in the Escape Velocity series, and is by far the most ambitious installment to date. EV Nova is the third game in the Escape Velocity series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Mine is just one of thousands of experiences we all will forever take with us and remember. This pandemic is hard for everyone, but in totally different ways. I wanted to share my story so that if even just one person felt a little less alone, then it was worth it. But this is also what got me out of bed every morning for the past two months. ![]() Here is what Brix had to say “This music video and song is by far the most vulnerable and revealing piece of art I’ve ever put into the world. Considering Dupin caught the virus must have made it extremely tough to film over 86 days continuously given the fact there would be days you wouldn’t want to get out of bed. Finally I must commend Brix, what she has here is an intriguing insight which compelled me until the very end. If I was to sum up this emotional video in one word it would have to be enchanting. The period documented is between March to May and just watching/ reading the captions always brings a lump to the throat. Thankfully Dupin beat the virus and these visuals were spliced iPhone clips from the balcony of her Brooklyn apartment. Sadly Sophie contracted the corona virus and decided to record a unique music video which formed a diary of a broken heart in quarantine “City lockdown best we stay in side/ But time alone unlocks what I try and hide”. So Brix then sent this tune over to produced Dan Krysa who began to work on it remotely. Even though places are reopening in phases, it will take a long while until everything goes back to normal. ![]() Once a vaccine for this virus is discovered the world can properly heal. These times are tough as you cannot reach out to relatives/ loved ones, whilst these rules are necessary to stop the spread they can seriously affect your mental health. Lock down measures have been introduced, people have been advised to stay inside and socially distance from others (who you’re not living with). Despite the fact it focused on a broken heart Call Me Naive can actually take on a different meaning given the current situation. This emotive tune was written at the beginning of the COVID-19 global pandemic. This succulent single showcased Brix’s magically sweet vocal tones, those lyrics were penned after a relationship breakup and the pain was so fresh as feelings for the other half are still there “I still think of you/ Wondering what you’re doin’/ And if you feel it too/ When I think of you/ No matter what I do I still think of You”. This number was a dreamy indie/ pop gem which tugged on the heartstrings. Anyhow 19th May 2020 saw the unveiling of the latest original and this being Call Me Naive, But I Guess I Thought If The World Was Ending, You Would Call, 2 days later the emotionally charged music video appeared on YouTube. Sophie is a gifted individual who can pen blissful indie/ pop tunes. Recently I’ve been introduced to Brix’s music and all I can say is WOW. Having listened to these compelling covers and the Broken Vessel, Sophie Dupin does have something incredibly exciting. So far 2020 has seen Dupin unveil a trio of sublime covers, these being intriguing interpretations of Nirvana, The All American Rejects and Simon & Garfunkel. Now that song even appeared in the official trailer for Disney’s The Nutcracker and The Four Realms.Īside from that Sophie’s vocals and songwriting are featured on Hollywood Records’ artist Cole Plante’s song “Before I’m Yours”, she’s sung with Passion Pit on Saturday Night Live plus her songwriting can be heard on the WB show “Charmed”, the film Manhattan Nocturne starring Adrian Brody as well as various Television commercials for brands like Shoedazzle, Crayola & Febreze. Anyhow this mini album was produced by Jay Levine and Tim Shrider, plus it also featured Dupin’s captivating take on No Doubt’s Just A Girl. Brix made her debut in 2018 with the Broken Vessel EP, this 5 track collection came to life after the passing of her father to cancer. Sophie Dupin adopts the moniker Brix, she’s a superb singer/ songwriter who is currently based in New York City. ![]() ![]() JS Graphics JS Graphics JS Canvas JS Plotly JS Chart.js JS Google Chart JS D3.
