"Hearing that Alone in the Dark won't make its February release wasn't too unexpected. This latest AitD game looks promising and surprisingly ambitious, but from what we saw of the 360 version several weeks ago it would not have been ready to roll so soon. The first-person aiming was awkward (though you play the game primarily in third-person), Edward Carnby's transition animations between various movements seemed to be missing, and the environmental object physics -- which play a significant part of the game -- still needed some polishing."
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."

Is anyone surprised? It's looked bad the entire time and only apologists say nice things about it.
A mystery shrouded in New Orleans, a Detective pulled into an enigma, and the craziness of wondering what is real. Here is our Alone In The Dark Review.
this game looks one of a kind...i think it will be the sh-t!
