The 2008 Alone in the Dark game is just way too ambitious for the horror game but poorly executed.
@CW1994110 ай бұрын
It was poorly executed, but some of those ideas were very fun. I'll be honest. I feel like they knew because they put in that skip level feature😂😂😂😂. I'm an Alone In the Dark fan, and I've played all except the really bad one and the soft remake of the first. For some reason I still enjoy the 2008 game😂😂😂

It had amazing potential just poorly executed because of too many ideas and styles mixed in. They should've kept it simple in terms of the combat and camera perspective. The realistic style inventory was interesting, but everything else was wack. The driving sections were horrible and the story wasn't worth it when the only 2 endings were basically "bad" even if good for laughs.

New Nightmare and the 2024 reboot are the only two games from the series that I enjoyed and even then, they still fall short of my all-time favorite horror games. Alone in the Dark has so much potential, but the developers have yet to reach it. I really did enjoy the 2024 game and want to hope that it will help the franchise, but judging from its overall reception so far, I doubt it.
@mr.sinjin-smyth10 ай бұрын
I think the 2024 game laid a solid enough foundation in reviving and bringing the series forward. It plays very much like a game from the early to late 2000s with modern graphics and 3rd person OTS. It's far from a masterpiece, but has reasonable cult status material for the coming years after. Unlike the 2001 reboot, this 2024 game is very faithful to the 1992 original (plus trilogy) in spirit, essence and flavor. There aren't many adventure horror games out there with an early 1900s setting, and that will be Alone in the Dark 2024's biggest strength and attraction. Also helps it's in 3rd person OTS, something most Call of Cthulhu themed games are NOT. So far, only The Sinking City (which is getting an unexpected sequel) is the only other Lovecraftian themed game I can recall that is in 3rd person OTS. If The Sinking City is getting a sequel, despite getting review scores in 2019 so similar to that of Alone in the Dark 2024, then I don't see why the latter can't get a follow up game itself. It all depends on sales performance and a sales tally of 1-2 million could guarantee a sequel in a few years. Since the game is also AA, and didn't cost much to make unlike a certain The Callisto Protocol ($162 million budget cost).

I'm proud my country created this series. Fun fact: Frédérick Raynal, the creator of the original Alone in the Dark (1992) used to live near my hometown in the center of France (in Brives La Gaillarde). Just like Michel Ancel, he received La légion d'honneur for pretty much creating the survival-horror genre. In the end, the 2008 Alone in the Dark game was the last French-made entry of the series.

@chrisw8838Ай бұрын
I really enjoyed it. It had just the right amount of wackiness mixed with danger, tense music, tough enemies, creepy setting puzzle solving and backtracking. The whole thing was just awesome. The story falling apart I didn't think it did too much but some more endings would have been neat. The absurdity allowed for some great demon things.
@mr.sinjin-smyth10 ай бұрын
I've completed New Nightmare 6 times (4 Edward, 2 Aline), and it's no doubt a very fun and underrated game. Managed 1 finish for the 2008 game, and it's a jumbled and frustrating mess in it's overall gameplay design. Such a shame because the story, setting & atmosphere was quite engaging even if the only 2 endings are somewhat bad. I've finished the 2024 game 3 times so far (2 Edward, 1 Emily), and it's by far the most fun Alone in the Dark game I've played, despite it's glaring flaws. The game itself has 5 endings (2 normal, 3 secret).

I've played PS1 about 5 times 3 ed 2 Aline. And I think I've played the PS2 version about 2 times 1 each character. I thought PS1 version was better in most ways but PS2 from memory had better graphics and was a bit smoother but was also less scary? Somehow? I dunno I can't really remember too much it's been like 15 years. But I loved that game. That and FF8 which I just enjoyed more even though it's crazy convoluted I kinda found that charming. I liked squall, the gunblades, and upgrading them. The gf summons were cool. It was neat you beat the spider robot boss if you grinded. The card game was fun. I remember these games sticking out as well as the medievil and gex games.

I get it's the most accessible least janky of the series, but god damn New Nightmare has a serious fan following. No hate, I love the game, just always surprised how much love it gets. It's dropped the 20s setting and the tongue in cheek elements that made the first 3 what they were and I do think it's more generic than anything else. Like I do really enjoy it, but it more than any other Alone just feels like it's trying to be Resident Evil to me (specifically the RE remake). I dunno, I'd much rather janky but interesting ideas and/or the 1920s setting and slightly goofy edge over a game that, to me, just feels like the definition of 'standard survival horror game'. But I also absolutely get why it's more popular than a lot of them, it's definitely the least strange and most accessible relatively speaking. But then, that's because it's kind of generic...

Prob gonna buy 2024 but on christmas? Mabye? I don't know. If Alone in The Dark want to have come back it needs a NEW STRONG GAME and don't get me wrong 2024 is not a bad game but it's not great compared to RE Remakes or RE8 or something like that. O I REMEMBER the new AiTD 2024 is like RE+TEW+liniar story (by liniar i mean when you need to go upstairs every door is locked.
