lmao SAD

this game had a lot features and ideas but was held back by 512mb bricks called consoles

Don't undermine the consoles. The true individuals responsible for the failure of this game was Atari. Same Atari who forced Reflections to crunch. Same thing happened to Eden Games, the devs for this game.

It's a tragedy really, had they been given more time to polish the game, the story, go back on some previous concepts (which actually made it to the Wii/PS2 versions, some plotpoints and changes to Edward and Sarah, which are good, the removal of the forced romance, lack of adam and eve plotpoint, and Edward keeping a diary entry on the PDA, are great. But rest should be kept the same from newer versions like how Edward finds the old photograph in 360 and Inferno) and add a final chapter for the good ending branch, where you fight Lucifer in Hell + cameos from classic trilogy characters like an older Grace Saunders and a senile Emily Hartwood would've been perfect for the epilogue, as in after he got rescued off the museum.

The failure of this game, brought upon by Atari, robbed us of a remake of the first game featuring Edward with the same face from this game but with his iconic redhead and mustache, complete with his fully black raincoat and suit with a red tie and black gloves. You can see some dev videos of it in Unseen64.

Really sad situation overall.

It's a shame. Obscure 1 and 2 were great and there version of Alone In The Dark was insanely ambitious for the time. If it had 1 more year in development it probably would have been remembered better. The PS3 version is decent enough but even that version needed atleast 12-16 more months to bake.

bad sells, bad rep, due to a freaking ton of problems. Lesser amount of fans, Less popular game overall. Considering the newest Alone in the dark was rather a flop with low sales - no chance of this game will ever be remade in any way

The New Nightmare need's a remaster too, so badly
