Okay, so it's a bit cheesy, but that is what's so great about this Alone in the Dark trailer. I don't often talk about the quality of a trailer itself more than the footage it shows, but I have to say that this particular video really impressed me with the level of direction and style on display -- it really put me in mind of a Hollywood summer blockbuster trailer, and I dig it.

Not much to report other than the sheer win of a video that got me even more excited for this superb looking horror title. I honestly can't wait much longer to see if this one can live up to the excellent promise it holds.

I'm sorry Jim but I'm not seeing any win in this trailer. I thought both the character animation and the sound effects were off (there were a tad on the corny side).

I am excited about this game though!

I'm certainly looking forward to the game, but whether or not I'll have the money or time to play it once it comes out are two separate problems entirely.

It looks less like a hollywood movie trailer, and more like a commercial for ABC's newest supernatural drama.

No gameplay footage? I don't care about cinematics. When are game companies gonna get it thru their heads. We wanna see gameplay footage.

I continue to be a fan of what samples I've heard of the soundtrack, if nothing else.

the art direction and cinematic style of this game is certainly its selling point. we'll see when it comes out if it's an actual game underneath all this.

but i'm certainly excited for this one. may, is it still?

I'll have to see in game footage to have a actual idea on how the game will be (duh)

Looks great! It was also good to see some blue sky and green trees. I wonder if there’ll be any of that in the game...?

I have a feeling this game will make RE4 cry...Like a bully beating up a skinny 5 year old for lunch money.

Cant wait for this.

It may be half a mile long, but god damn if a tiny explosion isn't its ultimate weakness.

The game looks cool, but I really hope they smooth out the character animations before final release.
