Decline Alone in the Dark: Illumination

[Angthoron]

Goddamn it Atari. You had one fucking job with multiplayer and you blew it.

This was so fucking obvious. It's in the name! One player is alone. The other player is Darkness. Romance happens via QTEs and suspense, and then Alone is in the Darkness after an extended foreplay and social commentary about gender roles.

How fucking hard was this?

Alone in the Dark: Illumination

http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/09/01/a...perative-multiplayer-teaser-trailer-released/

Built with Unreal Engine 4, Alone in the Dark: Illumination will feature a cooperative multiplayer mode, as well as four different character classes in the form of the Hunter, Witch, Engineer and Priest. Presumably the coop mode will support up to four players, tasked with purging a town of a supernatural force known as The Darkness.

Alone in the fucking dark indeed

There is a darkness corrupting the town... a completely unknown force, a darkness, a terrible darkness called... The Darkness. You with another three losers that are going to be too occupied making jokes and bunnyhopping like retards to pay attention to the mood are going to fight... zombies... no, not regular zombies... but The Darkness zombies. Embark on a journey on our shovelware made with the budget of Gaben's kitchen supplies, the only thing you will know is that there will be alot of zombies to shoot... something you ever did before. Alone the Dark: illumination, made with love for the fans of the franchise. Don't forget to pre-order and get an exclusive bonus... a lot of shame for being a fool for buying this shit.

The retardation is strong in this one. I think I can hear Lovecraft spinning in his grave again.

 

[Tehdagah]

Multiplayer will ruin my immershun




Lol.

 

[Don Peste]

Yes, Alone in the Dark, another fast & fun co-op to play while we wait for L4D3!

Well he's probably been spinning since the civil rights act.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Alone,
4 players Cc-op ?!?
WTF Atari.

Last 2 games were horrible, this franchise should remain dead and buried...

Edit :Also that Darkness thing stinks like Alan Wake....

Whoa there. While the last one was a piece of shit, New Nightmare was a damn decent RE clone. Never did finish it but I recall liking it well enough.

Alone 2 was mostly a turd, don't remember much from the third which means it probably sucked too. First one was the best though, no doubt about it. I recently played the 3DO version and it was still just as intense. Those clunky controls, gotta love them.

 

[Darth Roxor]

don't remember much from the third which means it probably sucked too.

Naw, AitD3 was good.

As for 2, well, each time I think about it, I recall taxalot's definition and have to laff out loud.

I like to view Alone in the Dark 2 as a survival horror from the point of view of the "bad guys". Story is after all : some guys throw a party in a house, a crazy detective dresses up as Santa Claus and kills them one by one with a frying pan.

 

[Cyberarmy]

New Nightmare was good (maybe the best) I recall there were two more AitD games after that, maybe thats where Im wrong. But it was a horrible port on the PC and had some pain in the ass flaws...

Dat AitD 2 definition. I liked the third game too, though I'm a hopeless wild west fan.

 

[Explorerbc]

Wow, that looks generic as hell. And why are the characters so stiff ?

 

[SuicideBunny]

looks like left4dead with less coop.

 

[toro]

Wow, that looks generic as hell. And why are the characters so stiff ?

Because Atari is actually under bankruptcy protection chapter. This game is one desperate attempt to get out of that hell hole.

 

[Scroo]

Lol this looks horrible

 

[Heresiarch]

LOL dat monster models and gibbing animation

 

[Jaesun]

So yet another shitty shooter with monsters. That is some fucking amazing creativity.

 

[dextermorgan]

Well, hopefully it'll be as good as the movie was.

Spoiler

Thought you suppressed that memory, didn't you?

 

[Nael]

The Thing cannot be described there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order.

And I mean that in a bad way.

how is this a remake of the original?

the original was set in a villa, kinda like the first resident evil. you played solo either as a man or a woman, and it was set in like the 1920s or something so they had modest and stylish clothing.

Inspired by the “Father of the Survival Horror Genre” classic from Atari and H.P. Lovecraft, Alone in the Dark: Illumination™ reinvents the series’ game style into a terrifying, new survival-action horror experience.

reinvent != remake

 

[Psquit]

To be honest i thought it was a sequel to "New Nightmare" since Alone in the dark 2008 was shit. Either a sequel to alone in the dark 2008 or a reboot.

 

[warpig]

TRIGGERED. I fucking hate when they do it, "reinventing" old games. Syndicate as a popamole corridor shooter, Mechwarrior as an F2P game, now AiTD as some stupid Left 4 Dead clone, great.
