I didn't see a thread for this game, so I'm starting one. (if there is an old thread, please merge)

The official site: http://www.centraldark.com/

The highlights/notables of the games so far seem to be thus:

- realworld objects/physics based combat and puzzles
- Set in a accurate rendition of New York's Central Park
- Levels are skippable like DVD chapters
- Inventory is handled by opening your jacket and looking down.

It looks intriguing and I hope the graphics aren't too downgraded for the Wii version. I heard there are some gameplay differences between the various platforms, but I don't know to what exent.

I honestly would be surprised if the game didn't get severly mangled, they'd be better off just creating a whole new game from the series rather than porting anything. I really don't want anymore Guitar Hero 3 incidents where the build I got was obviously hacked together just so it's on the system.

When is this due for release again? If I lose my resolve to keep my new year's resolution of buying less games (agh) this could be the first Alone in the Dark game I play!

ShyGuy · « **Reply #3 on:** February 27, 2008, 02:45:45 AM »

I believe it's due out in May.

Does anybody else have the Nintendo Power issue. I want to put up some more photos but I am not sure if I can. The issue is number 225 Sonic Rpg on the cover.

IGN just said that June 24th. One day after my birthday and on my moms birthday.

Is this game better than Obscure?

New Pic. I think the lighting is looking better. KEEP HOPE ALIVE

Ign Wii has a blog for the game in their features section it has 1 part to it so far. I find the comments pretty intriguing.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #10 on:** June 11, 2008, 11:03:33 PM »

IGN has the new trailer up for it and the game actually looks pretty good, maybe some framerate problems in places, but still it looks good.

Wow, the new Wii trailer is.... well, it's a trailer! If you poke fingers into both your eyes, then put on some glasses smeared with vaseline, it looks decent.

It's not that horrible, but the textures seem bad.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #12 on:** June 12, 2008, 01:37:09 AM »

Things are looking interesting. I hope the controls hold up well.

UPDATE: LOOKS LIKE THE GAME IS BUGGY UNFINISHED CRAP

GOOD LUCK WITH THOSE SINKING PROFITS, ATARI

MAYBE ACTIVISION WILL BUY YOU

KDR_11k · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:10:36 PM »

Weird, I saw the game in stores today but not the Wii version...

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:44:10 PM »

Wow they're not even finished making discs.

animecyberrat · « **Reply #16 on:** June 21, 2008, 01:44:56 AM »

did it suck that bad?

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #17 on:** June 21, 2008, 02:17:39 AM »

It sucked enough that Atari is angry over early reviews.

The made a casual adventure and forgot to test it for bugs and playability.

Kairon · « **Reply #18 on:** June 21, 2008, 05:56:48 PM »

I have to admit that I canceled my pre-order for this due to not being in town to pick it up at the GS... and now I'm seriously tempted to not pick it up anyways. I could use the money...

ShyGuy · « **Reply #19 on:** June 21, 2008, 07:25:47 PM »

Kairon has lost his faith in third parties. Woe, woe unto us all!

(I'm waiting for a couple reviews before I make a final decision)

Not just angry, they started suing reviewers over that.

Kenology · « **Reply #21 on:** June 23, 2008, 11:19:27 AM »

Still waiting for a few more reviews. Atari is saying these early reviews are based off of preview code. We shall see.

Morari · « **Reply #22 on:** June 23, 2008, 12:20:16 PM »

Atari is trying to sue everyone by claiming that an early--leaked and pirated--version of the game was reviewed. Even if true, the situation still seems pretty pathetic.

KDR_11k · « **Reply #23 on:** June 23, 2008, 01:01:59 PM »

The review sites say they just got their copies from retailers that let them have a copy before the street date.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #24 on:** June 24, 2008, 01:33:25 AM »

Man, the new trailer up on Everybody's Nintendo Channel doesn't give me confidence in this game. I believe the term is "muddy."
