The Story.

----------------------------------------



Set during 2008,the story continues with Edward Carnby,the main protagonist from the original game,looking for answers to strange supernatural and bizarre occurrences while battling his way through the opposition in New York City's Central Park.




The game story centers around rumors,allegations and suspicions of clandestine activity in tunnels found below the park.

When browsing the offical website,there are sections of the site dedicated solely to the mysteries of central park.Subjects of investigation include possibly mutated trees,unusual aviary migration behavior in the park,astounding insect invasion problems,as well as the park's value in real-estate;which is stated to be in excess of $528,783,552,000, a finding produced in 2007. In addition the park's valuse is compared to the national defense budget, with the park being 26% higher in value then the defense budget in 2007. also,to further support rumored reports of tunnels found below the park,it is said that the atom bomb was invented by the instigation of the Manhattan Project.

Alone in the dark will develop ties between these mysterious aspects of the park,while dealing with supernatural elements as well.




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Features


The game is constructed around a unique episodic format. Each episode will conclude with a cliffhanger ending and,once the player leaves the game,a teaser of the next episode will appear. Every episode will also have video summaries which retell the player about the previous episode when a saved game is loaded,allowing them to quickly remember what objectives they have to complete.






The game has been hailed by the producers and developers to be open-ended and expansive. one such feature is the hot-wiring mini game. in one dire moment,the character may need to commandeer a car by hot-wiring. this will initiate a mini game,where Edward will rip the wires out of the car and try to start the engine. He could either succeed and be able to drive the car,or blare the car horn loudly,alerting enemies to his presence.

The Player is also allowed to choose how they want to play the game. For example,instead of using a flashlight in dark areas,items can be lit with fire to traverse through the dark.






















Note: All are In-game Screenshots.

Alone in the dark is a game that is going to change and re-write the formula for survival-horror games and i cant wait for it,im guessing this will be better then resident evil 5 [not saying that resident evil is bad,but this has so many new directions and stuff you could do].



I mean just check how you get to your inventory and choose,combine or mix stuff. Pretty cool! [ Notice the blood on him to]

If anyone also saw the trailers,dont you agree that the soundtrack alone is just worth the game:P





This is my first offical thread,i hope you guys enjoy it and i cant wait for ALONE IN THE DARK!!! it is indeeed something i have to see to believe.:D



*Update*

I Wanted to talk about the soundtrack of the game which is the best thing i have heard in games in years! its just mind-blowing! The music is made by"The Mystery oF Bulgarian Voices"[Its the most famous folklore ensamble from bulgaria].Here you can listen more songs from the OST:

Alone In The Dark Soundtrack . Go to music and then click on listen to alone in the dark 5


I Hope You guys enjoy the music as much as i did and i cant wait!!!!:D

The original Alone in the Dark was a pain in the ass to play, in fact I never finished it. I finished some of the other ones though, 2 and 4 I believe. It deserves some credit for creating an entire genre (all you kids that think Resident Evil started the whole survival horror thing better think again) but all the people looked like frogs and I spent a good majority of the game trying to kick purple mummies in slow motion.

This game looks alot better though, I was under the impression it was a straight remake.

I'm pumped for this game as well....especially with the disappointing information that RE5 would most likely be a 09 release.

I love Survival Horror games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Fatal Frame and this game seems to be topping them greatly in the sheer amount of detail going into the world. One thing Survival Horror always lacks is realism, aka why can't that be a weapon, or why can't I just knock this door down with my axe, etc. And Alone in the Dark is doing that, not too mention it has a very interesting story. Never really was interested in the AitD series but this game looks amazing. With this, Resident Evil 5, Silent Hill Homecoming, and Fatal Frame 4 all on the way Survival Horror is really coming back in style in '08/Q1 '09.

Great post bro. I actually haven't been following this game more than a passing glance every now and then but this looks pretty cool.

(I doubt anything will be able to compete with RE5 though,;), just imo. Praying for game of the decade there)

The graphics probably look worse because I'd imagine the images used when it was announced 3 years ago were Pre-rendered nothing representing in-game capabilities. Every Next-Gen game announced back then before the consoles were released looked drastically better graphically than what they ended up being in reality was released.

No offense but the graphics look amazing. Are we looking at the same screenshots or am I misunderstanding something here?

Your misunderstanding something haha. The game looks amazing no doubt, he is just commenting on the hokey announcement screenshots released even before this gen started when they announced the game. But the game has changed a lot in three years besides the fact every "next-gen" game announced in 05 didnt looked anywhere near as good when they were released. Alone in the Dark in particular was announced in 2005, months before the 360 released and almost a year and a half before PS3. And now 3 years later the game is finally being finished after the consoles were released with the graphics adjusted to what the consoles specs actually are not early renders made without the consoles hardware available.

Better than RE5? You can't say that with the lack of footage we have seen of RE5, and if you go by RE4, it will definitely be a strong competitor.

Anybody know about the apparant exclusive episodes on PS3? Because if by episodes it means new chapters, I'd have to rethink about if I should wait for it or not.

I'm actually pretty excited about this one... This is one of those games that I saw coming to the Wii, but couldn't take the 'dumbed' down version and really am looking forward to on my X360. But I'll have to wait to see how the content stands up.

You had me at "Katana."

This game looks nice but I'll be renting it first. The only survival horror game I've ever enjoyed is RE4 so I'm guarded about the entire genre.

my only concern right now is some people rumored that you'll be forced to be on fps camera while using guns.

hope this won't happen.
