We've seen the screenshots and we've read the info. But as far as I know, this is the first time we're seeing Atari's upcoming Alone in the Dark in action.
The video is taken from a German gaming magazine,
Computer Bild Spiele. That is the reason, of course, why you might not be able to understand the narrator. No, we don't have any idea what he's saying, but I've asked
Jim Sterling to get Uwe Boll on the phone to do a quick translation, so we'll get back to you on that one.
Visually, the game looks impressive, but the gameplay we're seeing is certainly not what we'd expect from the Alone in the Dark series. For one thing, it's not very dark, there are quite a few unexpected explosions, and there's a whole bunch of platforming going on. Seems like an odd area to demo as a first look.
We should be seeing more at E3, so hang tight.

Could be sort of fun.
but whatever, i just hopes it turns out well
Oh yeah, being emo and dancing in jazz clubs.
Detective Carnby needs to solve the "mysteries" of NYC´s Central Park, which is infested by "creatures straight out of hell". These creatures apparently unleashed an inferno on earth, which you´re about to bring an end to.
What you can see is a building next to the Central Park that you obviously need to climb for some reason.
That´s about what the narrator had to say...
