Cool but i liked the tech demos more.

Actually looks cool. Central Park is a great setting.

Didn't know there were fault-lines in Central Park.

mtv.com

Epic "America-only" fail.

wont let me watch :(

@directhex: No kidding. I hate it when people link to the MVT video game blog videos :(

I prefer just "Alone In The Park".

meanwhile i set the enitre river/lake in central park on fire cause the cloverfield monster came.

Holy bejeezus that was some lame shit.

"They said central park was for the people. They lied." ?!?!?

How ungainly and cheesy. That is one of the most profoundly ineloquent, meaningless, and just plain idiotic catch phrases I have heard in my life. Perhaps even worse than that country music song that goes: "But a man's not a train and a train's not a man."

You know, the whole thing came across as disjointed and much too hollywood for my tastes.

/I am really getting sick of the "hollywoodification" of videogames, by the way.

"You Can Watch New Alone in the Dark Trailer"

Lies!

Seriously, MTV, get with the times. Really? Buffering?! EVERY FIVE GODDAMN SECONDS?!?!

I couldn't see this, any clues?

@Zaxxon Q Blaque: That's just you sorry...

Wow... that's some cheesy tagline work. Great another game set in New York City. Because why again? It's an iconic realistic backdrop for fantastic occurrence. I've heard it, it sounds nice, but I don't know if its really as important as designers make it same. I would like to see evidence that setting a story in a fictional city makes it any less captivating then setting it in bloody New York. The fact that you can create a groan-worthy tall tale about the origin of Central Park is not a plus.

That really made no sense at all did it...

Also, you guys can't see it? I'm in Australia and saw it fine. You're not missing much.

@Prinnygeddon!: Yeah, I get three seconds of "VIDEO NOT ACCESSIBLE" over here.

@shikaningen: Seconded.

The whole plot is just... uhmm... seriously, is this Alone in the Dark?

FFS !! Jesus when will companies realise there are more than the sum total of the USA who might be interested in game content and STOP THE US ONLY SHIT!! get with it MTV !!

Ok rant over :D

Back to gametrailers.com to see if its there yet lol

"Alone in the Park" gets my vote. Simple, yet efficient.

"Some people run for their health."

"Some run for their lives."

Omnimous!

Still, the best had to be...

"They said that Central Park was for the people."

"THEY LIED."

:O

You Can Watch New Alone in the Dark Trailer

No...no I can't. MTV really is shit.

Oh, wait. Yes I can

+ Watch video

Kudos, MTV. Keep up the "copyright" stuff, it's clearly working wonders.

Them video's never work for me ether...

"VIDEO NOT ACCESSIBLE"

@dionion:

Thanks man.

And no, I managed to get past the Atari logo. Then the goddamn buffering every three seconds killed it dead.

Unwatchable - but not for lack of trying.

WAY Retardedly cheesy, i really really hope the game's story, cutscenes, and dialogue don't turn out as cheesy as this trailer.

I might actually buy a horror game for once.

...Someone hold me.

Did any one else look at the still on the video and think "WTF's Harrison Ford doing here"?

I don't see the problem that you have with the basic plot. Central Park was built to summon/appease/contain unspeakable terrors from the beyond. Seems like an appropreately Lovecraftian story in a Ghostbusters kind of way. More than good enough for me. This is "The Rats in the Walls" not War and Peace.

Won't play. Lame.
I'll wait for the GT version

@Bluecell: Not the same trailer. Not that you'd know.

Ok so i live in the netherlands and i can watch the video just fine so i don't know why people are saying us only...

Did anyone else think Bugs Bunny was going to pop out of the ground at the end?
Seriously though, I liked it settings from the tech demos, but hey, I won't judge until a demo (hopefully?) comes out.

So did anyone else think Bugs Bunny was going to pop out of the ground at the end?
Seriously, I liked the tech demos better, but I won't judge until a demo (hopefully?) comes out.

@shikaningen: Oh its worse then that, isn't it? That makes it sound like they're striving to compete with them in narrative and cinematography. Stuff like this just parodies action movies that you've already seen.

I thought about it some more, and this trailer acts like a grocery list of everything wrong with game design:

1.) Set in New York (Seriously, stop that)
2.) Terrible unprofessional writing
3.) Story simply showcases gameplay (You can shoot bottles in midair!)

Around where I live, there's a Halloween festival called Dark In The Park. So I nominate this new AOTD game to be called Alone In The Dark In The Park.

I want my MTV.

@Agies: Well if you're happy with game narratives that simply mimic 80s movies you're in for a treat.

@PooPooKaKaBumBum:
LOL

@shikaningen: Aaaaaaagreed.

@Agies: =( !
That usually works. Oh well, give it time.

+ Watch video

That should be it.

The official website is centraldark.com. hahahaha

*sigh*

If this game doesn't have anything to do with Lovecraftian Mythos I'm going to be extremely disappointed. So far the only great game in the series has been the first, and that was released sixteen years ago!

"alone in too dark park" with the soundtrack by skinny puppy.

"You Can Watch New Alone in the Dark Trailer".... No I can't I'm Canadian, Canadian's aren't cool enough to watch videos from MTV. Yay false advertising :)

Worst survival horror trailer I have ever seen.

I will never own this game, because I believe it's never coming out, and if I am wrong, I won't buy it. This trailer only cemented that for me. Even Christian Slater is embarassed for this one.

Have no idea what the hell this series is about. People have explained it to me more times than I can count, and still don't know what it is. I hadn't even heard about it until last year. It's just like Good Friday. I have no idea what it is, I ask people every year, and every year I forget. I guess there are some things that I was just destined to give absolutely no shit about. Don't waste your time explaining it to me either, I'm just going to forget.

The trailer's bad, but the website feeds everyone love of conspiracy theories pretty nicely. I have hopes for the game, but why is Edward Carnby looking so.... spry?

@blackadvent: only if you hold me...

This game looks awesome and I do not even like survival horror.C'mon Atari stay a company a little bit longer so this game can come out.

@jfx316:
We urgently need a Skinny Puppy soundtrack!

I dunno, sounds kinda hard... can I just skip it? :P (Yeah I'm sorry.)

Very cool! June 2nd has been marked.

That is some of the cheesiest shit I have ever seen. Instead of spending 6 million dollars on realistic trenchcoat technology, why not hire a decent writer?

Anyone notice that the writers of two of the articles were Jonathan Carpenter and Ash Campbell?

One's a mix of Ash Williams/Bruce Campbell, the other's a nod to John Carpenter.

Man I wish there were more interesting things to watch in the trailer than that....

I have a feeling this will be one of the best survival horror games of this decade. Silent hill 5 will be good too, I'm sure, but I think this will top it due to its originality, even though silent hill 5 will most likely make you shit your pants more.

That being said, cool trailer, but I wish I could see more gameplay.

I think they named this game wrong... im pretty sure its called alone in the park>.>

"You Can Watch New Alone in the Dark Trailer..."

No, no I can't. Because MTV is shit and their vids can only be seen by Americans.

hoorah for region locking :|

I'm still excited about it mostly 'cause I happened to actually enjoy AitD: The New Nightmare.

Kinda corny actually.
But I'm still looking forward to this game! I am suddenly reminded of Alan Wake, though.....

Well, I can't say I knew what was going on in the trailer. Was he trying to blow up some tentacle that was burrowing through the park?

I love the old AITD series and can't wait for this one, but that trailer just had me a bit lost.

I really thought Bugs Bunny was going to pop out of the ground at the end...

Has anyone noticed that the website URL at the end was [centraldark.com] ?

Damn, should've refreshed.
