Yes, that’s something that was also apparent with the first PC release. In a way, the murky 360 visuals and even wobbliness from tearing just added to the atmosphere, especially in the woods at night. This is what Digital Foundry had to say about the PC port back in the day:
In terms of our own impressions, playing the PC version and then returning to the console game was an interesting experience. Alan Wake on 360 was a dark, murky experience - where technical compromises just seemed to work in the overall aesthetic. On PC with max settings, there is a surgical precision to almost every single rendering element, and clearly, obviously, everything looks a lot whole lot better. But there is the argument that with much of the grime and haze lifted, the atmosphere just isn’t quite the same - and with very few (if any) improvements to the base artwork, some of the lower resolution textures are that much more noticeable too.
Anyway, as a huge fan of the first game, I’m looking forward to the remaster, although I might not play it at launch.
