The 1992 Alone in the Dark served as major inspiration to the original Resident Evil, which received a sequel, which was successfully remade as a third-person shooter 20 years later, which in turn has presumably inspired Alone in the Dark's upcoming remake, which is releasing March 2024. It's a complicated ouroboros, but the good news is it gives us a chance to revisit arguably the original survival horror game in a brand new light with the aid of Hollywood actors.
Join Game Informer's Kyle Hilliard and Wesley LeBlanc as they play though an early portion of the game and share their thoughts on how this could finally represent Alone in the Dark's chance to shine.

It definitely looks AA but I don't mind. I never expected a Resident Evil level result. I want to play it because I like the environments and I dig cosmic horror but will I pay full price? Probably not.

@frankbasile3662 5 ай бұрын

Its definitely looks Triple A and is easily worth regular new game price on release...,With the talent behind the game and the passion of the developers to craft a compelling new horror experience while respecting the original is a definitely must by.Hopefully you realize that and buy this Triple A game on release day this Wednesday,..

It's not a remake. 1992 version was happening inside a house all the time. Part of the story was, that you cannot go outside. It's a reboot, not remake.

Yeah not to mention none of the rooms in the house look similar to the original. Hell there looks like there's a bunch of characters in it, which removes the entire premise of being Alone in the Dark. It's pretty much an entirely different game.

If you grew up back in the day and played the original AITD, two things that struck you as awesome about the game... the music, and the lovecraft references. No game had attempted it before, and it was way ahead for its time. We had point and click adventures, but action oriented games were kinda sparse on the pc back then.

People should take it easy with the criticisms about the budgetary restraints. Alone in the Dark, as far as everyone cared, was a dead in the water IP that nobody really wanted to have anything to do with. We're LUCKY that the guys that gave THQ a deserving rebirth decided to do anything with it. Although I honestly see no reason for this game not to be released for PS4 and XB1. Wish I could play it day one.

Gameplay over graphics mindset here, my only issue is when facial animation doesn't reflect the top dollar talent you hired for the two leads. Makes it jarring and more noticeable. But I really hope this stands out like how Robocop Rogue City did. A really solid AA experience is what I hope it will be.

Looking forward for this game. I remember playing the original back in 1992 and all the sequels. There was one part in the original that scared the sh** out of me. There was a part where you walked in a dance hall and you needed to be careful not to touch the dancers. If you touched one of them, it turned into a some bubbly creature that chased you across the mention and unlike RE, it kept following you into the rooms. It was an insta kill.

@jankmedia1985 6 ай бұрын

This seems like a ok action horror game but alone in the dark is something else entirely

Is the term “isometric” used more broadly in North America? Cos I’ve seen it applied by US games media to so many games that wouldn’t fit how that term is used in graphic design at U.K. High Schools. Over here it’s a very specific perspective/projection and stuff like Classic Resident Evil or other survival horror games would definitely not be classed under it just because they have 3rd person angles and not the second-person over-the-shoulder camera style that is popular in many modern games

Yeah, I'm with Kyle. Alone in the Dark (2008) is very special for me. I got that game quite early after I switched to console gaming in 2009 and had a blast with it. I really liked the original trilogy and the fourth game as well and it was exciting to play the 2008 game. It was an early cinematic game with a lot of cool little features, like the jacket inventory and the crafting system, the physics, the light mechanics, open world-ish roaming with driving crossed with scripted setpiece moments. It was a great game. I recently played it again and I enjoyed my time with it still, though it wasn't as jaw-dropping as it was the first time I played it. This game however... I have hard time finding the Alone in the Dark DNA in this one.

I also switched to console gaming when Alone in the Dark 2008 got released and it was one of the first games I played when I bought an Xbox 360. Even if the game was really rough around the edges, it was also quite inventive, both with its inventory system and its approach to killing enemies by setting them on fire, and its open-world execution.

Despite my last comment though, I will admit that companies are lacking a bit on character design department. Gone are the days when they didn't use big actors to create a character. It felt more imaginative, creative, and gave the sense of a character being their own character and not based off of someone visually in real life.

It’s okay. The blood splats off enemies looks very jpeg and the enemies reactions to being shot looks lacking. I really think it’s important to hit that resident evil level of gunplay. Shoulders should buckle from shooting and they should mocap many recoil animations so it looks varied in movement. Idk just my notes for them. Also I’ve always hated the black and white when injured in games. Would be nice to polish it in another way.
