I mean when I saw the title and remembered back at the previous AitD game, I expected this to look like crap, but was surprised that it looks like something I'd want to play.You expected this? I expected nothing because I had no clue it was being made.
Ughhh I know what you mean every decade or so now is just too much, especially when they seem like they are trying to capture the spirit of the original alone in the dark,bastards.No. I'm not playing another game called Alone in the Dark. You can't just keep releasing games with the same name. This is me making a stand.
I'm not unreasonable - if they retcon a new name onto Alone in the Dark 2008 then I could be pursuaded.Ughhh I know what you mean every decade or so now is just too much, especially when they seem like they are trying to capture the spirit of the original alone in the dark,bastards.
wait a minute that trailer looked solid, hot dog I'm in
It looks like Deadly Premonition but without the “So bad it’s good” but just the bad.Looks more like Evil Within 2 rip off than anything Alone in the Dark related.
Also kinda smells of trash
They are officially old now. To the new generation!No PS4/XBO version
I've said this before. We are in the era of remakes. Companies are too afraid to invest in new IPs. Maybe it's because indie games have grown tremendously. Hopefully it's just a phase.The age where no IP can die. Seriously, is anyone beyond a small percentage of old people (like the ones on this forum) interested in the slightest about Alone in the Dark? The first game was groundbreaking, back in 1990, and I remember playing it back then. The werewolf jumping outside the window and then jumping in the window scared the shit out of me as a kid. But 2 and 3 were not good. The Playstation/Dreamcast one ... I don't know, I never played it. I did play the PS3 Inferno one, and it is one of my all time favorite awful games. Then the IP died out, since Inferno performed so badly, and for good reason.
All this to say, I don't understand the interest in reviving the AITD IP. I am assuming this won't be a sequel, it will just be a soft reboot with some similar gameplay choices to make you think you are supposed to be playing a game in the AITD universe. Choose between a male or female main character, VooDoo/Lovecraft horror trappings, 1920's era setting. It isn't like a sequel to AITD, so why bother using the name, other than to just have the IP/already inbedded marketing for old ass gamers.
Sorry for the rant, but I would rather large companies invest money into making new stuff, and not just some soft reboot of an old (as dirt) IP. Make a game in the 1920's with voodoo and lovecraft horror, awesome, just leave the AITD title out of it and branch out into your own thing. ... I need to go check out Sunken City, I heard that was good.
I don't know why we are assuming that is Carnby. Although yeah the red hair is gone regardless based on the third person shots.You do realize even though it was panned, that people actually brought Alone in the Dark 2008? Then Infogrames messed up the series afterwards with the Atari name.
Some people are just excited for the fact this new Alone in the Dark game doesn't have Ataris name on it. With competent developers behind its production for the first time since the original trilogy.
No red hair is rather odd given it's a remake.

Honestly I'd actually like a Remake of Alone in the Dark: The New Nightmare.Alone in the Dark 2008 is legit a great game. Yes, junky and, yes maybe has little to do with the originals, but a great game nonetheless made with care.
People barely gave it a chance, but it had so many cool mechanics and actually cool physics based puzzles with a real sense of adventure and a cool cheesy protagonist.
I wish they had continued in AitD 2008 footsteps
No, I know Carnby is the main character of the game (and it looks like we have Emily Hartwood as well) I just don't know why anyone is assuming that's his face in that shot.Because every game had him up till now as the main (or primary) character?
What can you do? Most gamers will refuse or let alone bother giving a game an actual genuine try unless the gaming media gives it their "royal" blessing or something.Alone in the Dark 2008 is legit a great game.
