Alone in the Dark 1 Remake (canceled)

[@cappedminer369]

it deserves a revival

[@BTTFDeacon]

Oh my goodness this looks absolutely amazing. I wish that this wasn't canceled. If only there was some way that this could be finished.

[@TommyPhani]

8 years later, I come here to remind you about the latest remake is on the way!

[@InsurgentHarbinger]

@@TommyPhani yes but that is more of a recreation rather than a faithful remake that is not sticking to the core of the original game. It looking at the gameplay just seems like a typical walking simulator and third person shooter I’m not excited.

[@Zebrax-kq4gg]

Resident Evil success killed the original licence... since RE took everything from it, and people comparing the original to the copy... even stating that some mechanics originally from Alone like pushing furniture or being attacked by a "dog" "chicken" from the window or menu in 3D, combining stuff etc is from Resident Evil. They scrapped this project to make something else : Alone in the dark Inferno... trying to innovate the formula... but it was buggy and a little bit messy.

[@InsurgentHarbinger]

@@Zebrax-kq4gg you could blame the popularity of resident evil 4 for that mess it started the trend for being a successful game having modern third person mechanics and mixing action with horror.

[@Zebrax-kq4gg]

​@@InsurgentHarbinger ??? for the Resident licence maybe... there was a lot of popular TPS games before, it was m ostly problematic because the licence was more action than horror, Alone In The dark did this after the first 1 for being action, AITD 2 was more action with more people than zombies, 3 was also too much action, and like RE4, the people are just "possessed/crazy" and not classic zombies. There was a lot of games with little popularity that inspire Capcom to not say stole by them since they dont like to say they took from many games : Fade to Black (another game they took from a french studio and was too early to be out like ALone in the dark), Tomb Raider, MDK CONKERS BAD FUR DAY (yep this one is crazy), Syphon FIlter, AND BEFORE one that had success too Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (with the over shoulder aiming in 2002). More than RE4, Gears of War popularized it too, way too much. I don't know if you have the culture or the memory of it, GTA3 was also the case for some guns when aiming doing light shoulder view. But if i have to say which game popularized it, it would be Splinter Cell or It was the time of action games and PS2 era, so they changed the old formula they took from Frederick Raynal... I know too well this case, I studied game design. And read many articles about Resident Evil and Alone in the dark (French, english, japanese) In fact it's the camera work which is interesting, The camera plan is American shot in RE4 but it's not the first game to do this either. Again it's the popularity of the game and a well-established license with the marketing strength of a studio that placed its novelty on camera placement because it didn't have anything more interesting (it was a marketing argument at the time) and which has a strong position in the American and Japanese markets which means that people talk about Resident more than others. And that eclipsed other original games or Devs who put hearts in creating this industry, for example the Carmack of Horror games is Frederick Raynal, who created the tools and technology that didnt existn that will be used and copied by capcom or squaresoft, in his GDC he explain why he used tank control, the history about, and how he regret it, other games use it just because Alone made it standard for the technology (precalculed + 3D realtime), alone like I said was the first interpolated animated game. He tried to do more with time commando, using VIdeo and not fixed plan ( full motion video scrolling, that will be used in FF8), but the game was bad. If you want to play games from the past, an interesting horror Alone-like was Ecstatica, with an unique take on 3D (using ellipsoid and not triangles) and he got a MR.X like, but it's a werewolf. It's a gem.

[@ManoSaarinenCarmanen81]

We NEED a remake of first AITD. This looked promising but sadly was scrapped :/ Someone needs to resurrect this project and finish it. Like someone here already said, no more sequels, just remake the original. RE2 gets a remake finally (soooo happy about that!) so why not this?

[@shibitoobscura3348]

Sadly, France gave up this franchise and doesn't seem to care about it anymore. I would have loved my country to continue making Alone in the Dark games but they sold the rights away after the cancellation of this remake, and the entry of 2015, which was made by another country, did terribly in sells and reviews, it probably killed the series. Frédérick Raysnal (who was born near my hometown) was visionary and created one of the most influential games of all time in 1992 and it's too bad nothing but ashes remains of it. We still can appreciate its huge legacy.

This remake of AitD1 looks much better (and more faithful) than the current reimagining of AitD1. The only thing missing in this video is tank controls, and then it'll be perfect! I wish we got this game instead of the reimagining one.

[@Helmantic-m7s]

I cannot agree more...

[@Vlad-1986]

I always dreamed with a good remake for this game. On the plus side, all the remakes since alone in the dark 1 suffered from rejecting the original idea of tension and creepiness (and adding stupid concepts, like three barrelled shotguns, mafia-pirate zombies...). This was walking straight on the same concepts. It is bad when a 16 polygons, 256 colours zombie designed in 1992 is more scary than a modern remake zombie.

[@OpenMawProductions]

There haven't been any "remakes" of Alone in the Dark since this one. The New Nightmare was a spiritual sequel, and the "Alone in the Dark" this studio eventually released was, essentially, continuation, vaguely. A new remake is now coming out, and sadly its basically an RE4/RE2make clone.

[@hawaianmobster1579]

​@@OpenMawProductions they new one looks pretty decent

[@shakirbasalamah6213]

I was so pumped, hoping to see this finished. You guys definitely made AITD1 a whole lot scarier. I love how you made the house feel more 'alive', with leaking water, swaying curtains and scurrying rats, and took some liberties, like having the trapdoor zombie run out of the attic and stalk you later on, and updating the camera angles to reflect current-generation horror cinematography. Those 2 warning trapdoor knocks and luring the zombie down the hole - YES, that is great use of your artistic liberties! I did not like the quick time events either. I would instead retain the fighting mechanics from AITD1 - make the player put up a desperate struggle, mashing buttons and thumbing joysticks trying to fight away the monsters. I share your team's remorse that this project did not pull through. Thank you so much for the upload.

[@M4xPower]

K-C Rhoder The Drag Queen Rhythm games are just a string of QTEs. A prompt appears on screen and you have to react to it using the appropriate input at the appropriate time.

[@M4xPower]

Yeah, exactly. A sequence of QTEs. I wouldn't day QTEs are based on trial and error though. They are based on reaction time. Saying it's a trial and error based mechanic sounds more like weird posturing than anything. Anyway, QTEs can have a rhythm component such as a sequence of punches or any other combination of movements. DDR simply wants you to do it to music and for a long time. The definitions of QTEs and rhythm isn't mutually exclusive as you seem to claim.

[@Typanoid]

I'm not a fan of QTEs, not because they don't require skills, but I just don't find them all that gratifying or fun - especially not as a replacement for the combat system in the original AITD. I would have preferred an improved fighting system where you have to watch the opponent's movements to use the right kick, punch or throw to stop them and dispatch them. Sure, Alone in the Dark is a horror game, but being able to fight zombies made your character feel more badass (the monsters you couldn't fight conventionally ensured the horror feel of the game, despite this).

too bad they didnt make this. with todays technology the original wouldve been great

[@heliopolitan444]

This game was my childhood!!! This would've been awesome!

[@Deciheximal]

But the best part of Alone In The Dark was that it looked like it did.

[@cappedminer369]

the website is sadly gone

[@UBRambo56]

Another good game thrown away because of bullshit why don’t they understand? It’s just a crying shame

[@Ray-ov5ot]

I am totally in for a classic horror game like AITD to be remade like RE1 and RE0 Too bad its cancelled

[@trayahzz537]

like the character design..not like the longhaired one they used

[@ausgamecollector]

They need to remake this entry as a stand-alone title with a real final boss fight where one does not simply ‘fight a tree’... or Shin Akuma

[@emoldandriel]

Looks AMAZING! Too bad it didn't come to fruition.

[@johnlowry4307]

Shame this was cancelled, alone in the dark is one of those games that desperately needs remade

[@mercenar7971]

I still hope someday.... this could become something real !

[@Sirrom5]

yes it would be great a sort of reboot using modern graphical ifeatures. Users would want these kind of games.

[@rickyvalentine4266]

man it would be if they re did it and the new nightmare like in resident's graphics and its better to see things

[@Ynffy]

Too bad nothing came from this.

[@donovanphillips6278]

It’s cool that they included an elder sign for when you kill the purple mist things.

[@charliethegent]

Why does the house move like a boat?

[@Maumello]

It's a pity ! This clearly has the right mood of the old AITD series ! Hope they bring it back

[@RJ_Productions316]

fun fact. Alone in the dark along with the Japanese horror RPG "Sweet home" helped create Resident Evil

[@odinatra]

It's a shame that they cancelled the game, because it looks awesome.

[@buschwhacker765]

It's still looks brilliant today (I like how it uses dynamic lighting and shadows), but unfortunatly we get soulless reboot in these days

[@cappedminer369]

I wouldn’t say the new one looks soulless

[@ValentinaDiNapoli-bh7ds]

​@@cappedminer369but it is soulless

[@cappedminer369]

@@ValentinaDiNapoli-bh7ds what do you mean soulless ?

[@Shadowofawolf]

I wonder if someone in the future will make a spiritual successor to Alone in the Dark. Cause I feel these games could've been a lot more

[@ΑναστάσηςΝώτης]

It looks like p.t.?

[@fasgamboa]

Why this was canceled????

[@Sigameosbons]

Vocês tem que continuar a fazer....

[@Tobytheblackcat]

Looks amazing, but please no QTE.

[@Sikanda.]

A next-gen revival of this project would be amazing.
