well it was the game that started survival games indeed.
you have to consider that it was published in 1992.at that time it was incredible,not only about the graphics (first time some company used 3d characters) but the story, the camera angles, the sound.
i remember playing it at college, in the room we were programing, and all class,even my old theacher,were amazed bout this game.
sure you think resident evil is the first survival game,but your wrong. r.e was plublished in 1996,and that´s 4 years after the first alone,and imo copied the whole game from the begining to the end.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

Amen! You are absolutely right about Alone 1 was the first real survival horror game, and it also was amazing from a technical standpoint. And let us not forget that this game on top of it all, was A Call of Cthulhu game which is a big plus in my book (Yes I know it wasn't an official Cthulhu license but it gave credits To Chaosium inc. And of course to Hp. Lovecraft).
The really sad thing about the survival horror genre, is that most people today think that Resident evil was the first real thing in the genre, as Alone was much more terryfying, and did it by scaring your socks of with all kinds of creepy sounds and sights instead of all the gungho attitude and Manga haircuts.
Gungho attitude and Manga haircuts=Not very scary in my book...

Yup Alone in the Dark was revolutionary. Still remember the huge kick I got when trying the demo-was unlike anything I ever played before. A friend and I went out and bought it soon after and got the living bejeezus scared out of us by the game too many times to count.
Too bad the legacy went down the tubes with most everything that came after. Expecting much of the same with this pile of shit.

Alone in the dark 2 was OK, I don't see why people think only the first one was decent,
also
Aside from Resident Evil 4, I've never played anything even remotley good in this genre, and that includes the awful Clive Barker's undying, so I don't really have hope for any "survival horror" game to be good.

Not to be prejudicial or anything, but  what the hell is this crap? Bring back the AWESOME, CRAZY, and SCARY fixed camera angles from the brilliant game that invented the horror-survival genre: AITD1. And what is with the GTA-kind-of-style driving? Looks hilarious in the way that it doesn't belong in this franchise at all! Fuck this new-generation streamlined gaming shit.
OK, rant over.  |

Obviously you don't know what shit looks like. I'm not saying the graphics are great or anything, but certainly doesn't look like shit.

Correct
Some people here are probably too young to remember that era.Alone In The Dark is indeed the father of the survival horror genre.It doesn't really matter if the game sucked , the AITD franchise was still the first one to introduce the genre.
These days survival horror is synonymous with Resident Evil and Silent Hill to the new generation but us old farts know that Alone In The Dark is the game that started it all.

I think it looks quite good. I like the highly interactive environment.. Might make for some cool puzzles. I'd really like more a puzzle horror adventure than the bore that is Resident Evil.
