PC Longplay [254] Alone in the Dark 2
Ойындар

Played by Deskawa
This is the sequel to Alone in the Dark, launched 1993, a year after the first one. The game featured better graphics, music and controls, but most people dislikes it being a bit more action oriented. A part of the problem is that fighting is still quite a bit random and not funny at all. Probably the problem is just that they didn't work the first and last parts enough and they filled the with combat. Anyway, I personally love the game for its music, characters and some beautiful artwork in sequences and background.
The game still has some books that I read. I won't recommend you to read any, since they aren't relevant for the story (usually just present the minor characters). But if you are still interested, in 1:19:36 there is a book with some link with the first AITD and in 1:28:18 it's explained why you are fighting against Jack's crew again. The rest of the books are just about puzzles and presenting secondary characters (and there are quite a few).
I also included Jack in the Dark, that was a promo demo included on the CD versions of AITD 1 and 2. It's not a bad idea, but probably not worth the time. -

The game wasn't that bad. I think it would have been better if it simply wasn't an Alone in the Dark. I mean, they had pretty much nothing to change. Most of the AITD team actually left because of the director's intent to make AITD2 an action game.

It was mostly to be a detective/action game I suppose, either because a lot of people weren't fond with the idea of horror, or they thought it'd produce more money.

@@fatbat6952 Well, as I said, most of the original team left after AITD because of the director's idea of making an action game. They probably just named it AITD2 because they thought that would make more money. The first one was a real success, I'm sure they would have made a lot more profit by doing a sequel that keeps the feel of the other game. Then after that there was AITD3, they probably had received complaints about AITD2 and decided to make a game more like the original, but sadly it was A) Horribly linear B)Most of the puzzles were either completely nonsensical and impossible to solve or terribly obvious because they had put so much hints. Like, how can I guess if I throw the rock, I'll find a talisman in it, or I need to wake up Emily by throwing ammoniac in an extremely precise direction, or, between a bunch of locked doors in the game, a whole bunch, there's one precise door I have to bust with a bullet and a hammer? Anyway, seriously only the first game was good and deserved it's title.

As a kid, the second one was so disappointing I could never finish it. It just felt like a complete joke.
Oh man.. AitD2 The action/adventure game that had the balls to suggest "You're about to do a shit-ton of reading and perform particularly obscure and/or often counterintuitive puzzle solving tasks, but before all that, let us have your very first encounter with the antagonists be quite the hullabaloo!" I got shot to bloody hell at least a good 15 times before I took the evasive action in the maze..
A flawed game but the music, puzzles, and atmosphere absolutely blew me away when I first played it on the 3DO. I didn't have a PC at that time and I'd never played anything like it before. After a while the flaws became harder to overlook, especially the combat, but it still has a special place in my heart.
Why on earth don't they go ahead with a remake of the original trilogy instead on insisting on serving the crap they now do???

Why make a remake? Weren't the original ones good as they were? Indeed, Illumination was pure crap. But these three games are what they are and were, I see no point of changing it for capricious people saying "the pixels are too big" or whatever. Leave them be, they still are very popular and have an active community. It's like any game - there's no reason into remaking them. Are they unknown? A remake will bury the game further. Are they unnapreciated? If a remake changes a game in order to make it better, then it won't be the same game anymore. Are they known and loved(Like AITD)? Then why a remake? To adjust it to today's standards? What is the point of that? You'll obscure the original game as newcomers probably will prefer the remake. Yes, maybe they can be made better without the technical limitations with which they had to deal at the time - but the devs probably already had made their best in order to deal with these limitations, and what's the point of doing it in the original game's depriment?

This playthrough is worth watching because of the wacky sound design alone. Even though there's a bunch of really other cool things about it, I just can't help laughing every time I hear "HEY GUY" or the bizarre scream as Carnby falls.

One reason why I hated the New Nightmare is they changed the setting from the 1920s/30s to the present day (2000, when the game came out). They also rebooted the character. The reason why AITD2 and 3 are so great is the character development from the first game. AITD 1 had Edward laughing at 'superstition' and 'magic' only for him to get a pretty rude awakening in Decerto. In the second game around, he's embraced this stuff and became the toughest paranormal detective out there.

It's not perfect, but at the time when it came out on the pc it was awesome. This wasn't a shooter, you had to think about what you did, what to use. You could beat your way through the bad guys, or through multiple trys you would find a new way around it all. Remember this was before people could just google how to solve the puzzle. If you wanted to beat the game you had to try on your own, or it never was beaten.

But, but, but, but... In AitD1, the player finds a notebook diary written by Jeremy Hartwood in the months before he committed suicide. The diary begins on 27th September 1924, and continues until 31st March 1925, up until the point when he took his own life, so presumably the player (as either Edwrad Carnby or Emily Hartwood) arrives some time in the spring of 1925. How can the sequel be set before that, at Christmas 1924?

It shouldn't have been an Alone in the Dark. Most of the AITD team actually left because of the director's intent to make AITD2 this action-oriented. It just should not have been a sequel, but a separate game instead. And they should have made things clearer. For example, the Santa Claus suit is pretty weird, you have no way guessing the ennemies will think you're a baddy if you wear it.
