For those who are excited about the new Alone in the Dark, which can even be considered a Remake/Reimagination, the game recently received new gameplay videos:

Three YouTube channels had the chance to play and share videos with us giving to give a taste of what the game has to offer with its gameplay combined with terrifying scenes and plenty of exploration.

 

[RagnarokIV]

Day one, son.

That German broad

 

[rofif]

Nobody want to play as stranger things guy... why would they waste money on him

 

[Kikorin]

Looks junkier and cheaper than what I would have expected from the reveal and fights seems terrible, but it doesn't looks bad. Actually I think it seems pretty interesting and could be a good fun for an AA game.

Atmosphere looks great tho, I just hope is more focused on puzzles/explorations than combats and cold be nice.

 

[Flabagast]

The Swedish answer to the Finnish Alan Wake 2 (although much less high profile).

Day one, I love this survival horror genre fire comeback, it's miraculous.

 

[acm2000]

may try it if it ever comes to game pass otherwise pass

 

[Elginer]

Gamepass or a hot sale or 10 bucks. looks interesting for a AA game and I love the blonde chick

Guys a good actor, what's your problem with him?

 

[Danknugz]

makes me want to dig up the original

Midget from Game of Thrones is probably a good actor too

 

[rofif]

No problem. I just don't think it's a good fit for a playable main guy

 

[SlimeGooGoo]

Looks too safe and boring.

Developers need to stop making everything cinematic and on rails.

But this is Sony's bread and butter

the blonde chick

That's Jodie Comer, literally the most beautiful woman in the world, if you go by maths and science:

Something about this just feels off to me, not sure what it is. Environments look great, immersive even. But it just looks a bit janky, which I guess isn't too surprising considering how long it's been and we haven't really seen solid gameplay until this point. Could still end up pretty good, and I may check it out some day, but not day 1.

I never played the full original, only demos here and there. How true is this looking to the original? Is it meant to be a true remake of the original at all? I always assumed it was meant to be.

Yeah, thought it looked like him and the woman from Free Guy.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

This has 6/10 and delusional "Hidden gem!" threads written all over it.

I've learned to just believe weak-ass looking trailers when that's all they've got to show.

 

[TGO]

I must be the only one that liked The New Nightmare.
And I thought Inferno was interesting, maybe held back by the technology at the time.
Not saying they are 9/10 games, but worth a play.
This one there's something I just don't like about it.

New nighmare was good until the Indian spirit stuff. I love the X360 game despite its problems. Didn't care for the inferno version though.

 

[Bartski]

garbage combat as expected but I'm getting it anyway

 

[justiceiro]

No English speaking video?

 

[rhodesianshepard]

I am concerned when high profile actors appear in video games, especially AA games. It is usually a red flag that the game has a shit budget and are relying on actors to sell it, not the gameplay. This looks interesting tho, definitely digging the setting and atmosphere, which is like 50% of what makes a horror survival game good

I must've tried to start New Nightmare at least four or five times back in the day. I still don't recall why I dropped it every time.

 

[Alan Wake]

I've pre-ordered the Collector's Edition and I'm sure I'll like the game . But it will probably pale in comparison to Alan Wake 2.

No, I liked it when playing it back in 2001, despite that feeling of a cheap Resident Evil clone. I replayed it on my Dreamcast this past summer and still enjoyed it for what it was. Maybe a 6/10 today, but still a decent game. I especially liked that you could choose to play as Carnby or Aline, and that the game differed somewhat between them (Carnby's adventure was more action focused, Aline's more puzzle focused).

 

[GymWolf]

Ugh is the protagonist the sheriff from boring things?

Game looks decent otherwise.

Like her or no, the game truly does do her justice though

To be fair,I've enjoyed these types of more janky "6/10" games as you call them more than most of the modern 9/10 garbage that permiates the medium all with their woke garbage that always try to hinder the experience to teach you a lesson about diversity,inclusion or other garbage as if I'm in school after paying for my entertainment.After seeing the scores Robocop Rogue City got from "critics" while complaining about the police department in the game not being an accurate representation of its real life police force and seeing how good the game is I couldn't give a shit if reviewers gave games I'm interested in a 2/10...They have clearly lost their goddamn minds.
And actually that score might mean the game is actually worth a damn.

You're talking to the wrong person because I haven't played a single "AAAAA 9/10 Experience" type game this year. Games like Spider Man, God of War and whatever games you seem to be ranting about aren't on my radar. This year some of the best games I've played were Tormented Souls, Remnant II, Stasis: Bone Totem and Shadow Gambit. That doesn't change the fact I think Alone In the Dark here looks like a subpar, overly-cinematic (and ironically aping poorly aping current AAA trends) jank fest in the vein of The Sinking City, another game that didn't look great in trailers but I gave the benefit of the doubt and womp womp.

So in short, I have no idea how you arrived at the millionth cliche anti-woke rant this week because I think Alone in the Dark doesn't look good.

She isnt ugly, but I see more beautiful women when I go to work everyday

About the game, well ... I'll try finishing it when it comes to PS Plus, eventually

 

[JCK75]

This is exactly what an AITD game should look like.
