Alone In The Dark Video Shows Innovative Gameplay
Posted 9 months ago by Veggie Jackson

It seems like an eternity ago that we first heard word of a modern Alone in the Dark game, and for the longest time, we got no further info.  Then, a few weeks ago, we got a tech demo that showed some impressive visuals, a cool inventory system, and little else.  Yesterday, though, Atari and Eden Studios released a video showing some of the more innovative and intriguing gameplay mechanics at work in the game.  I gotta say, it looks pretty damn cool.  Check it out:

 



Ya gotta love that inventory jacket, and the seemingly limitless combinations of items could make this a real challenger for survival-horror supremacy.  There’s some interesting physics and lighting mechanics at work as well, making for a pretty dense tech demo.  Makes you wonder what kind of craziness to expect in the upcoming demo trailers.  I wish we’d gotten a better look at the enemies (which look a whole lot like the head crabs from Half-Life), but so far, everything looks like it’s progressing nicely, and might even be able to meet its expected July 15 street date.  I’ll sticky tape a note on the calendar for that day, and hope it somehow explodes.  That would be cool.

Awesome, looks like some really cool concepts here. I used to love playing the original alone in the dark. It was a good game, and this is shaping up to be great.

That's one of the most realistic sewers I've ever laid eyes on.
