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.
@TidyThePYROBAT 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.
@@宮本マリオ Actually, No, it isn't. I think what you're referring to is, Biohazard/Resident Evil was heavily inspired by it, fixed camera angles, limited ammo, puzzles and such, If it *was* a prototype for a game, that would mean that it's a very early version OF a game, however, this is not the case.
I feel asleep a while into the video and when I woke up I saw him beating the crap out of a zombie with a cutting board while being dressed as Santa Claus with Danny Boy playing in the background. WHAT
I Can't believe I spent almost 2hs watching this, just like watching a movie and enjoying it the same! So good memories of an unforgetable game, next movie for tomorrow, AITD 3 :) Thanks so much for sharing this, you made my day!
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?
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..
Its crazy how they had a revolutionary genre in survival horror games and then made this game... It's not even that I think this game is terrible, its just such a switch from the first game.
@@krazysk I played AitD2 first, so I didn't have a frame of reference going in. I remember my older cousin copied the floppies for me and physically printed out the copy protection cards. 😆 I was 9 or 10 at the time, but I loved it and did manage to beat it eventually. The One Eyed Jack duel on the mast was an epic moment in gaming history. I didn't play AitD1 until ~8 years later in college, but it was great too. Glad I played them in reverse, because I get what you mean about the change. Always wanted to go back and play AitD3 too, but I could never find it for sale or on p2p anywhere back in the day after I finished AitD1.
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.
Damn, for a game that came out in '94, it sure as hell had some seriously good cinematic flair to it. The use of pre-rendered backgrounds and animation was nice af.
I know I would have thought 💭 a good Game Over Cutscene while playing as Grace to make Grace look cuter could have shown Grace swobbing the decks or dancing 💃for the pirates amusement while they are drunk 🥴 instead of seeing Cranby getting hang drawn and quartered by The Pirates 🏴☠️
drinking wine in santa costume at the kitchen where you have previosly killed the cook with the help of your frying pan... yep, the origin of survival horror genre at his best.
J Williams Of course I played it before. But that was about almost 20 years ago and I was young and dumb back then and never really thought about the puzzles.
+meatmaster hey "meat master", do you specialize in tube steak by chance? That's an interesting user name, I saw a guy on here who called himself meat rocket once, but not meat master.
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.
Also he is a middle-aged round man with a trusty mustache, which is a charming design for a hero, just like Laura Bow in The Dagger of Amon-Ra. The other one looks like a Ride to hell:Retribution knock-off.
@@Hotshotter3000 Also, for some reason they decided to add a female character again, but it wasn't Hartwood! The poor Emily only got one game! (AITD3 does not count)
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.
It kept crashing for me if i had the sound on, it was fucking annoying lol. My PC was a piece of shit back then, whatever it was hahaha not enough ram i think.
@@Maxime_Martyr You think aiming is bad in Resident Evil? Try playing Silent Hill The aiming in that is so bad those Griffins kept killing me I had to change the settings to Auto Aim cause they are just impossible to shoot on Manual Aiming!
More like so difficult it was almost impossible I always got shot at the beginning cause I kept thinking you had to enter the mansion but kept getting shot by those Zombies 🧟♂️ Armed with Guns Thank Goodness 😅 For this walkthrough to figure out I had to push the statue to enter the maze after all those years ago of owning it on PC 🖥️
1:19:50 I was dying at the chicken leg part. "HE WAVED HIS CHICKEN LEG!" 1:09:35 I was also dying at the part with Jarret saying "DUH SHHHLLLLALAAVVVVEEESSS!"
You forgot to throw the grenade down the chimney! That was my favorite part. Oh well still my favorite Xmas game. Nice playthrough! People have to remember that this game is old. 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.
The game was very good, especially the music. There were just two problems - It shouldn't have been a sequel to AITD and aiming should be have been less difficult. Apart from that, it's a great game, and I wish for it never to end up with the terrible fate of being remade.
I remember being so excited about this game coming out when it was first released. When playing the game, I couldn't ever get past the initial part outside of the house no matter what strategy I tried. So I eventually gave up trying and ended up selling or giving the game away without hardly ever playing it.
@@alexandrdanilov3495 Yeah, I had the exact same problem as @jackcsprat back then. I remember it being very hard to align the guns on the enemies. You missed regularly and the ammunition was very scarce. But like he said, the atmosphere, graphics, sound and music was top notch, so you just wanted to keep going.
@@Piratesteve81 Well, but on the other hand, you had a chance to lure an enemy to advantageous spot where you could knock him off only with a good old frying pan even if the foe were armed with a tommy gun)
This game introduced me to AITD to begin with. I didn't think it was bad, but I can see why people hated it as well. I loved figuring out how to defeat enemy scenarios + puzzles personally. I did also like how Edward Carnby looked as well over his original appearance - even if it was 30 triangles.
Not to mention Elizabeth. I'm 100% sure that the Bioshock team named the characters thusly as a tribute to Alone in the Dark. It's a little too convenient for it not to be.
I remember this game so well. Had the CD-ROM-version when I was a kid and never could get past the part with the little cook that called "Help! Help me!" when he saw the player.
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?
I'm pretty sure the game just doesn't give a shit about dates. Music Man's bio mentions Mozart even tho he lived in the 2nd half of XVIIIth century. Anachronism at its finest !
I remember being a small kid and having a vague memory of this game. I swear it's taken like 20 years to figure out what this game was!!!! AHHHHHH I HAVE SEARCHED FOR SO LONG AND NOW AT 1:48AM I AM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I love how in the final shot it looks like Carnby and Grace are about to escape across the Pacific (as opposed to along the coastline) in a rowboat, haha. Anyway, awesome playthrough!
I thought Alone in the dark was all about horror only played the 4 and the reboot but....this here is kinda....strange, this music...and a santa costume?
The original game is more focused on horror. It uses themes from the works of HP Lovecraft, while this game is centered around gangsters and pirates and voodoo. There's way more combat in this game than there was in the first one.
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.
Why compare this to Doom?? It's not even the same genre. At least compare it to Resident Evil or something that requires slightly more than a three second attention span to appreciate.
Well, coming from AITD 1 expecting the same atmosphere of mystery and demonic magic, this kind of feels like a cheap western shoot-em up. The sheer abundance of guns really wrecks any atmosphere it could have for me.
They compare alone in the dark to ecstatica both have the same mechanics not to say that game was inspire by alone in the dark ecstatica was those games you don't know what to do even today ecstatica have something charm is crazy terror but by all is unforgiving on the first minute the game trew all the enemy's at once doesn't have progression level no directly the first encounter is the wolf the most powerful enemy of the game
Adding more combats and less puzzzles was a terrible idea. Fighting enemies with fixed camera is horrible. If i want more actions i'd rather play DOOM.
Awww should have thrown the grenade down the chimney. All those guys in the dining room blow up if you do! Great playthrough. Very nostalgic. Thank you!
this one was my favorite of the series, this game beat my ass to a pulp i wish older games were more like this, tells you nothing with raw difficulty, premium experience
Have these original Alone in the Dark (1 and 2) games aged well? Absolutely not. Were the controls great? Absolutely not Were these games impossible without a walkthrough guide? Uhm, yes. But man I spent hours playing them and loved every minute of it, nostalgia overload! Resident Evil needed inspiration from something. Have to walk before you run.
This is one of the best games ever made. Ground Breaking. Compared to today's games, the graphics don't look good, but at the time it was unreal, and was the first for survival horror games (well Part 1 was first).
Both SH and RE had others sources of inspiration. Alone in the Dark games, especially second game, are closer to adventure games than to survival-horror.
It is true that the 2nd is not really horrific but the first was. And it is a known fact that both RE and SH took inspiration from the first AitD. Just make some researches and you will see.
Again, both games had others sources which influenced them more than AitD. RE and SH are very different games than AitD. First AitD is hardly "survival-horror". Second AitD isn't "survival-horror" at all, that's my point.
i had this game. but i learned a cheat. if you run to the left side of the mansion front door, there a metal plate on the floor. walk over it, and you skip to 19:20 it was the weirdest thing, but also the greatest, as I couldn't for the life of me kill the mooks at the hedge maze. still, inside the house, i didn't go very far. i remember a trident being thrown at me, and that was the end of the game for me.
@@dinosticker haha man I wish I knew that. I had alot of problems with this game freezing on me, as my dad's PC was prob shite hahahaha. He never had enough RAM and I kept begging him to buy more but he wouldn't. I also LOL now at how Carnby blows the fuck out of the gate to get in, alerting every gangsta to his arrival haha. You'd think he'd find a more discreet way of getting over that wall lol.
I thought the first game was scarier/spookier. Too many Humans in the sequel. You're really not alone, nor in the dark.
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.

I remember pushing Mr. Striker's corpse off the cliff lol
Best Alone In The Dark 2 Gameplay ever
Man, this one had SO many more enemies than the first
Loved this as a kid. Had no idea the second half of the game was drastically different
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?
I'm pretty sure the game just doesn't give a shit about dates. Music Man's bio mentions Mozart even tho he lived in the 2nd half of XVIIIth century. Anachronism at its finest !
I remember being a small kid and having a vague memory of this game. I swear it's taken like 20 years to figure out what this game was!!!! AHHHHHH I HAVE SEARCHED FOR SO LONG AND NOW AT 1:48AM I AM FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
“Morning, sir.”
“Hi, guy!”
“Hey you.”
Classic.
Ahh, I remember watching my dad play the PS1 port of this when I was a wee lad. :)
For us DOS crashed when it was time to play Grace. Moved on to AOITD 3 and hit a bug with the spider man? Stopped circa '96
I love how in the final shot it looks like Carnby and Grace are about to escape across the Pacific (as opposed to along the coastline) in a rowboat, haha. Anyway, awesome playthrough!
I think they were gonna go back to land farther...
@@binouche2281 But in the shot right before they're actually rowing towards land. ;)
@@Oregondanne That's what I meant...
You beat it you’ve completed my childhood I was 10 trying to play this clueless so satisfying to watch you beat it.
I thought Alone in the dark was all about horror only played the 4 and the reboot but....this here is kinda....strange, this music...and a santa costume?
The original game is more focused on horror. It uses themes from the works of HP Lovecraft, while this game is centered around gangsters and pirates and voodoo. There's way more combat in this game than there was in the first one.
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.
i remember when i was 6 that i played this game with my dad because this game scared mw a lot... such a great days
gotta dig the ost
@37:44 Love this game, but this pretty much summed up my experience back in the day XD
Thanks for playing through and posting.
Return to DOS. Nuff said. A classic of gaming, that gave rise to one of the medium's best genres
This game was a nightmare. When I was young, it took me months just to get through the garden.
1:13:50 the best song of this game...
Proud to finish the game . Long time ago. Love kid
"Hi guy" *shiver*
Why compare this to Doom?? It's not even the same genre. At least compare it to Resident Evil or something that requires slightly more than a three second attention span to appreciate.
Well, coming from AITD 1 expecting the same atmosphere of mystery and demonic magic, this kind of feels like a cheap western shoot-em up. The sheer abundance of guns really wrecks any atmosphere it could have for me.
They compare alone in the dark to ecstatica both have the same mechanics not to say that game was inspire by alone in the dark ecstatica was those games you don't know what to do even today ecstatica have something charm is crazy terror but by all is unforgiving on the first minute the game trew all the enemy's at once doesn't have progression level no directly the first encounter is the wolf the most powerful enemy of the game
The first pc game i bought in 1995, when i just got a 486 pc.
I love this game
This was a time, there was no resident evil or other horror survival game!
THIS was our childhoods true survival horror game no.1
29:18 + Damn you just bitch-slapped that gangsta-zombie right out...lol
Adding more combats and less puzzzles was a terrible idea. Fighting enemies with fixed camera is horrible.
If i want more actions i'd rather play DOOM.
hijong park Dude you can't compare Doom to this... such filth compared to a golden masterpiece here. So disrespectful.
hey you
Just noticed something. 7:04 that tune is the finale of Vesti la Giubba aria.
I like the fact that some gunshots use the same sound effects from the Roland E synthesizers !
The little kid is creepier than the monsters.
Awww should have thrown the grenade down the chimney. All those guys in the dining room blow up if you do! Great playthrough. Very nostalgic. Thank you!
2019 and finally trying to beat this
04:22 This intro still makes me laugh. They really knew how to sell the new direction of AITD back then, lol.
this one was my favorite of the series, this game beat my ass to a pulp i wish older games were more like this, tells you nothing with raw difficulty, premium experience
Have these original Alone in the Dark (1 and 2) games aged well? Absolutely not.
Were the controls great? Absolutely not
Were these games impossible without a walkthrough guide? Uhm, yes.
But man I spent hours playing them and loved every minute of it, nostalgia overload!
Resident Evil needed inspiration from something. Have to walk before you run.
Love this game!!
This game would have been so much better if they didn't make it so combat heavy.
30:29 best fight ever
This is one of the best games ever made. Ground Breaking. Compared to today's games, the graphics don't look good, but at the time it was unreal, and was the first for survival horror games (well Part 1 was first).
Are you calling this survival HORROR? That's just amazing.
Every gamer knows that Alone in the Dark was the first survival-horror and the inspiration source of Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
Both SH and RE had others sources of inspiration. Alone in the Dark games, especially second game, are closer to adventure games than to survival-horror.
It is true that the 2nd is not really horrific but the first was.
And it is a known fact that both RE and SH took inspiration from the first AitD.
Just make some researches and you will see.
Again, both games had others sources which influenced them more than AitD.
RE and SH are very different games than AitD.
First AitD is hardly "survival-horror". Second AitD isn't "survival-horror" at all, that's my point.
1:03:15 Scotty, beam me up!
Played this on ps1. I never finished it. This needs a remake
i had this game. but i learned a cheat. if you run to the left side of the mansion front door, there a metal plate on the floor. walk over it, and you skip to 19:20 it was the weirdest thing, but also the greatest, as I couldn't for the life of me kill the mooks at the hedge maze. still, inside the house, i didn't go very far. i remember a trident being thrown at me, and that was the end of the game for me.
Was it a glitch or a deliberate cheat put in there do you think?
@@dinosticker haha man I wish I knew that. I had alot of problems with this game freezing on me, as my dad's PC was prob shite hahahaha. He never had enough RAM and I kept begging him to buy more but he wouldn't. I also LOL now at how Carnby blows the fuck out of the gate to get in, alerting every gangsta to his arrival haha. You'd think he'd find a more discreet way of getting over that wall lol.
@@dinosticker lol maybe it was the game itself then. Did you get the manual with the cards? It was for the copyright bullshit thing lol.
