Alone in the Dark to Come to Sega Dreamcast Thanks to Dedicated Fan

Triverse writes, "Alone in the Dark was one of those titles that had to be seen to be believed, and many that saw it, bought it. The game was just so different versus what was available at the time. For the first time, it was actually like walking around a deserted mansion fending off unspeakable horrors that have invaded. This was no side scrolling, or over head, title like had seen so many titles through in the past, and afterwards. This was actually controlling a character and seeing their environment around them in 3D."

wth is a sega dreamcast is that a console or something?

triverse3795d ago

Yes. It was Sega's last console, they discontinued it around 2001.

I cant tell if you are trolling but seriously you are on the internet Google it!

Morgue3795d ago

Beat this game when I had the 3DO. Good times back then with that game, Road Rash, Need For Speed.

Yui_Suzumiya3795d ago

Way of the Warrior.. Naughty Dog's second game.. decent Mortal Kombat ripoff.. remember it? :3

tablav3795d ago

Ah, the 3DO. There's some good memories. Playing Alone in the Dark, Killing Time and Psychic Detective!

Shad0wRunner3795d ago

Except this isnt Dreamcast graphics. I had a Dreamcast and owned/played some games for it. It was beating PS2, back in the day.

This tho...this looks more like SNES graphics. Meh...im not impressed.

triverse3795d ago

They are using the original graphics that Infogrames released the first AitD with. They are also working on replacing as many of those graphics with newer models so it will offer both old and new graphics once released. That is part one. Part two runs, somewhat but has major bugs and part three doesn't run at all but those are just icing on the cake as the focus is the first game.

I would kill to have a Way of the Samurai game with a huge budget and modern tech... The first game was one of my greatest joys on PS2 back in the day. And I really hope From Software will do something with Tenchu... I hate that they're just sitting on the IP like it doesn't even exist.

Relientk7713d ago

Don't play with my feelings like that.

Also, new Tenchu please!

TheColbertinator12d ago

Tenchu would be superb in this day and age. Ninja and samurai games are hot right now and more is better.

Nope. Going back to the 32X as the reason Sega lost that generation doesn't go back far enough before the Saturn.

Sega executives need to blame themselves as to why Sega lost that generation. Not Saturn. Not 32X. Not Sega CD. Nope. Executives were the reason why. It wasn't the hardware. Those devices were either dropped early or released to soon resulting in a developer backlash the hurt the game catalog. They really shouldn't have been made at all because they should have planned their next move more carefully. It has nothing to do with the devices. Poor leadership decisions and lack of unity within the company are what happened.

Love how blame is always shifted away from what is the truth. Writing a book placing the blame on the 32X isn't the truth.

I am pretty sure there are documentaries (Youtube) around it which highlights these points. I had Sega Mega drive and NES growing up but that's about it. I didn't even know there was a war going on between these companies but I do remember thinking why I can't play Sonic cartridge on Nintendo or Mario on Sega :D

FinalFantasyFanatic14d ago

I had the Genesis and the Saturn, also had the SNES and 64, I never got a Dreamcast for some reason, but I never saw one in the stores either.
