Atari is Rebooting Alone in the Dark and Haunted House

This news just came out seconds ago via Gameinformer:

Atari announced today that two classic franchises will be unveiled at PAX next weekend. Haunted House, last seen on Wii and Xbox Live Arcade in 2010, and Alone in the Dark, most recently on Wii, Xbox 360, and PS3, will be coming to PC later this year. Atari hasn’t shared any details about either title, but we’re interested to see what the publisher is planning. Based on the websites, Pure is handling Alone in the Dark and Dreampainters is working on Haunted House. We weren't able to find any information on Pure, but Dreampainters previous work includes the horror title Anna, published by Kalypso. The company will also have Minimum on PC, Roller Coaster Tycoon World on PC, and Roller Coaster Tycoon 4 Mobile in Seattle at PAX. For more information, you can sign up at the official Alone in the Dark and Haunted House websites. PAX will take place in Seattle from Friday, August 29, through Monday, September 1.

What do you think, my friends? And does the news say it's PC-only? Because it's not worded clearly enough.

I'd be very excited even if it's some form of a remake of either the every first Alone in the Dark or the whole original trilogy. Even if PC-only. That's how I love this franchise. AITD 1 is a milestone of gaming and is still playable today, Its sequel is a bit forgettable but the third part is also very good.

Oh and The New Nightmare was ridiculously, criminally overlooked whereas it was one of the most perfect realizations of the revamped, classic post-Resident Evil formula.

I only ever played Alone in the dark 1 and it was very good for early 3d with characters made up of only a few blocky polygons.

Alone in the Dark will be multiplat.

I highly doubt that it'll be a proper successor, but it's too early to tell.

What the **** is it with all the dark horror games recently being announced... Silent Hills, RE, Until Dawn, Alone in the Dark. I think it's close to saturation point now.

@Salt_The_Fries: the alone in the dark I played on 360. It has many issues, but I still had fun with it. Much like Kane and lynch it was one of my guilty pleasures.

Oh yeah, it was a really decent game underneath its bugs, glitches and unpolishedness. Some of its ideas were really novel and should've become staples of video game design.

lolatari. When was the last time they released a good game?

Outside of SOME DBZ games (their former cash cow, which, knowing how influential Atari's name was, makes it quite sad), none that I recall. The last Alone in the Dark sucked ass on ALL consoles last I checked:

@nintendoboy16: It sucked ass on PC too.

This ProJared guy is one of the biggest noobs on YouTube and is full of shit. I hate his guts. There's nothing "PRO" about him.

I miss the old Atari. :(
