Last month, Eden Games released the first tech demo for the upcoming Alone in the Dark, which received nearly infinite positive responses. Part 2 is here now, and I have to say, despite Atari's fate in the gaming industry, it looks like they will be raising the bar for survival horror titles with the release of this game. Showcased in the following video is the use of objects as weapons, and how the analog stick is utililzed to move your equipped item through 3D space. I take it there will some tricky puzzles that will require this feature.
First aid spray, something that Resident Evil relies on, is being ratcheted up a notch. Now you will have to decide to heal yourself, or use the sparse spray as a makeshift flamethrower. As well, the game's excellent looking fire effects are detailed a bit more, showing that not only does the element light the game world realistically, but things that catch fire degrade after a few seconds. Alone in the Dark ships this Spring.
