Damn the game looks awesome. The graphics and gameplay ideas they have is revolutionary for the survival horror genre, which is dying now. I love horror games and there are so few of them I'm craving for some (Resident Evil took the 3rd person shooter turn, and the only other horror games are either shooters (condemned, bioshock) or some nonsense japanese sony stuff (silent hill, good games but wtf with the storyline). Anyway I really hope it turns out good since AITD created the genre years ago (anyone played the first one, in the western setting?) and survival horror games need a boost now. But I fear the game will be more of a tech demo than anything, I mean they say the game is made of a certain number of 30-40 minutes episodes and I read somewhere that there are 8 episodes, so do the maths and you get a damn short game. And we didn't see any enemies except little bugs, I hope there will be some big nasty creatures (but I'm not expecting humans, zombies or other humanoids; I hope the only people you'll see will be corpses and that you'll be all alone with blood scenting creature like in Pitch Black (maybe they got their ideas from that movie). Anyone excited about it? If it's 8 hours or more I buy it for sure (get the trailer and 2 tech demos on the marketplace if you don't know what the game is and have a remote interest for horror games). The graphics are really some of the best around, I didn't expect that

I haven't heard about it until some of the recent Atari news, but some of the screens look pretty good.

Go to the marketplace right now and watch the vids, screen won't do justice.

Wo, I don't really see the connection here except they're all shooters on the 360 and AITD is not... well it's your POV. I think it's more a mix of RE4 and Silent Hill meets HL2 physics and GoW graphics

This game is looking top notch. And now that Phil Harrison is at Atari, we can expect to see great things.

I am totally excited.

I have finished every Resident Evil, every Silent Hill, Condemned,

I need some more horror.

RE went the shooter direction, which kinda sucks, but is totally awesome in a total carnage sort of way.

The silent Hills went downhill.

First one was the best, then the second, then the third, then the fourth, the 5th better dominate or the series is cooked.

I have some worries about Alone in the Dark, I dont exactly trust atari, with all its money issues.

I liked the first game, but then it sorta went downhill for me, can't say I'm excited even after the trailers on xbox live.

With games in this genre I can't help but compare them to resident evil 4, and only silent hill IMO rivals the RE series.

The game looks freaking awsome, what are you talking about no one is excited about it, if they arent its is because the game does not have alot of publicity. And check out the game "dead space" it is looking sweet too.

I'm excited, but not super excited. The graphics look good, and the inventory select looks kewl, but i'm worried teh game play will be lackluster. Something in those videos, really seems like the character animation was unfinished and kind of stiff. Hopefully that's not the case when the game gets released.

The game looks incredibly innovative with the way the physics work and how you can mix and match equipment and whatnot. I have never played any of the Alone in the Dark games for some reason. I have played Silent Hill, RE, Condemned but never this so if it can give me gameplay longer than 10 hours I think its a buy for me. The tech demos just blew me away seeing as it wasn;t getting much hype so I didn;t even bother researching it, now it definitley has my attention.

Well there's 3 "What is the best XBOX 360 shooter" threads and other uninteresting posts on first page but I never saw anything about that game before I saw the trailers 3 days ago. And Dead Space looked cool from the first trailer, haven't saw anything since then. I'll check out the marketplace. But with EA I'm sure there will be some Avril Lavigne or Fall Out Boy musical horror in the game; the kind of horror I'm really afraid of

Just saw the Marketplace vids, and the game does look pretty impressive, and I might pick it up. Hopefully Atari starts their turnaround with this game.

i wasn't excited...until i saw the gameplay trailer demo downloadable on XBLM...amazing...i didn't realize how much freedom the gamer has, with regards to using "real life innovative ideas" to solve problems.

This video game looks physically attractive. Nevertheless, I don't know if I'm going to purchase it.

I downloaded and watched all the vids this weekend on Live and I'm really excited about this game. I liked the unique ways that you can fight the enemies (that good ol' sticky tape is gonna come in handy!). I also liked the "Real World Rules", like shooting the brackets holding the wire in the ceiling so that he could use the flourescent light to see in the dark tunnel. I think it's pretty innovative and never been done in a game before (to my knowledge) so it should really make it an immersive experience.

The only thing that might suck is the lenght of the game; otherwise I'm sure it'll be a great single player game. Here's a vid I just saw :

http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/80392.html

Looks like the game will have various types of gameplay; here it's a rope-swinging level splinter cell type. The physics look very well implemented and that explosion was awesome. I read somewhere that there will be some driving too, logical since Eden Games made Test Drive Unlimited. We'll be able to do stuff like piercing the gas tank, driving in a crowd on creatures that you just attracted with a blood, get out of the car before ramming them and then lighting the trail of gas. But the enemies have been hardly talked about; hope there will be some variety in the creatures you confront
