Rely on Horror: "French designer Frédérick Raynal who was in charge of the original Alone in the Dark, originally released for PC in 1992, would love to see a HD Remake of said game happening someday in the future."
The new Alone in the Dark remake doesn't do anything especially noteworthy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just... cromulent.
The original Alone in the Dark - hailing all the way back from 1992 - is re-imagined with Unreal Engine 4. The story and puzzle elements are dramatically overhauled, where PS5, Series X and S strive for 60fps gameplay in a decent performance mode. However there are technical rough points to this release which detract from what could be a much better game.
series S performance mode, 800x450p - 1600-900p
so NEVER hits 1080, and goes as low as a ps2.
this consoles dead to me
"Alone in the Dark (2024) squanders a thick atmosphere by playing it safe - a missed opportunity to resurrect a seminal title in the survival horror canon."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
I will be the 1st to say that a great game
but this game not good needed better development - not sure if the dev's were rush or just needed direction ?
either way no biggies as there has not been a good alone in the dark in many many many years.
@ROCKY28 I loved The New Nightmare, that was 25 years ago. But I still wanted this to be good.
Is anyone surprised? It's looked bad the entire time and only apologists say nice things about it.
Some of the environments had a chilling atmosphere. But that evaporates when anything happens.
i loved this game back in the day. bought the AITD 2 pc retail @ babbages
This game is beyond a classic. Resident Evil would not be what it is today without Alone in the Dark.
So, we're talking low poly count HD character models? ;)
The whole game would need a facelift for today's demanding gamers.
I really enjoyed the series. 2 was great for its piratey goodness and 3 for its western ghost town setting. The original's monsters were just too goofy looking and oddly animated to be taken seriously or invoke fear.
