Maf Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 Definitely looks more like PS4 game, but interesting style and tone. Like classic film noir x cartoon horror Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I've never played an Alone in the Dark game... looks a bit janky but I'll keep an open mind for this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 it's an interesting setting and tone, I'm not sure they've really nailed the look though, it looks a bit cheap and janky, but then it's not out yet so there's time to polish that up. At this point, you can pretty much do whatever with Alone in the Dark. It started out as a Poe esque horror, Resident Evil took its most interesting moments and ran with them, since then it's not really found its place. The one that came out on the Dreamcast is probably the last one that felt like the old games, so I'm all for them doing something different with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 That's pretty much my feeling too - not sure what they are actually 'rebooting' apart from resurrecting the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 This was part of the THQ Nordic showcase yesterday and they were presenting it by saying they’re taking themes and ideas from the older games in the series, but spinning it in to something new. I think they said there’s two playable characters as well who are both brand new to the series The only one I played was the opening hour of the X360 game which was fucking horse shit. So no investment from me, but the trailer seemed cool. It’s not an indie game, but definitely feels like it has a budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Definitely interested after watching that trailer, I did try the awful Atari published AitD back in the 360 days but only got a few hours in. Will keep an eye on this, looks intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinymcshine Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Right, so this is actually a reboot/reimagining of the first game - now I'm pretty enthused for it, esp. as the release date comes around the autumn (always feels better to play this sort of game when it's still dark in the morning / earlier in the evening).

DisturbedSwan Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Holy shit, David Harbour and Jodie Comer!!! Never played the OG and only a bit of the last remake on 360 back in the day, but yeah this looks pretty damn good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Prologue Demo available now on PSN/Microsoft Store/Steam for those interested. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 Definitely interested in playing the Prologue - just really weird to put it out now, so long before the release of the main game. I'll probably download it now, and play it in September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 There's a few sites that run DOS games through your browser - so I gave the original AitD a go - wow, it's really difficult to play and the controls are shocking ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I'd love for this to do well, Alone in the Dark deserves a bit of success for its history, but I can't muster any interest in it. Maybe I'll try the demo later or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyKurosaki Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Got the Prolog downloaded, I’ll give it a go when I get chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DisturbedSwan Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Yeah, the right decision, everything getting out the way of Spidey 2 🕸️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 It's a bit weird to push it back quite so far (just to decouple from other releases, and miss out on Halloween inspired sales) which might suggest it's some way off from actually being finished. Someone on Gamecentral suggested they'd not really showcased any actual gameplay videos (which seems odd if it was close to completion). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
