Code:
The PC version of Alone in the Dark is protected using SecuROM online activation. This requires that in addition to the content on the game disk, players download an additional component via an internet connection in order to install and run the game. Once the game has been correctly installed and activated, it can be played whilst offline.

To install the game on a different computer, players must revoke the serial number when uninstalling from the first machine (this is an automatic option during the uninstall process).

For activation instructions and more information on the revoke system and license use, please go to the SecuROM FAQ.

Developed by Hydravision, Alone in the Dark follows the same story across all platforms, where over the course of one apocalyptic night, hero Edward Carnby must uncover the earth-shattering secret hidden in New York's iconic Central Park.

Central Park is hiding a secret. Built as a safe haven not only for the people of New York, but for something else entirely, generations of guardians have long protected the truth, preserving the vast parkland while the most expensive city in the world reached skyward on its fringes. Now the truth can no longer be contained, and paranormal investigator Edward Carnby finds himself inexplicably cast into the eye of the storm as over the course of one apocalyptic night he must uncover the earth-shattering secret behind Central Park. New York will never be the same again.

Inspired by the gripping style of contemporary TV dramas, the game delivers a new degree of narrative intensity, presented as a complete season format of episodes each containing action, twists and cliff-hangers. Bursting with innovative technology, including unprecedented environmental interaction, revolutionary physics, advanced artificial intelligence, stunning visuals, and uniquely immersive user interface, Alone in the Dark breaks gaming clichés to fulfil the next-gen promise and deliver a new kind of entertainment experience.

Features :

    * Central Park: one of the world’s most iconic and best loved urban landmarks, Central Park has been accurately reproduced using satellite data and thousands of photographs;
    * Captivating story: The story reveals the conspiracy behind Central Park and challenges beliefs on the afterlife, based on ideas and theories drawn from real-world spiritual philosophies;
    * Narrative Intensity: taking cues from blockbuster TV dramas, the story is told in a TV season-style narrative structure to deliver the maximum intensity throughout, keeping the player hooked;
    * Real world rules: revolutionary technology brings a new level of environmental interaction to the gameplay where anything you could do in real life, you can do in the game;
    * Immersion: the player is plunged into the heart of the action in real-time with full movement control, in-game inventory system, on-body damage and healing system, and physiological effects;
    * Photographic Rendering: Eden’s proprietary Twilight technology and rendering engine create a lavishly detailed game world with highly realistic and advanced cinematographic effects including depth of field, camera focus, numerous light sources, moisture, reflections and High Dynamic Range effects.

PC minimum spec is as follows:

    * Operating System: Windows XP/Vista 32-bit & 64-bit
    * Processor: Intel Pentium 4 2.8 GHz or Athlon X2 +3800 (Intel Pentium 4 3.4 GHz or AMD Athlon 64 +4000 recommended) *
    * Memory: 1 GB RAM (2GB recommended)
    * Hard Disk Space: 9.5 GB free
    * DVD-ROM Drive: 4X speed or faster
    * Video: NVIDIA GeForce 7600 or ATI Radeon X1950 or better (NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX or ATI Radeon X1950 XTX or better recommended)
    * Sound: DirectX version 9.0c-compatible sound card
    * DirectX: DirectX version 9.0c (included) or higher

Alone in the Dark is currently scheduled for June 24, 2008.

Its sad what the gaming industry has come to...

A long time ago I used to believe that reviews were fair and honest and unmolested by developers and publishers alike. Then came the barrage of horrible games getting high scores and then even way later being insulted as bad games by reviewers who gave them high scores. Black & White was a prime example of this... we got fed so much hype and then when those reviews poured in it was like The flying spaghetti monster himself made the game with his blessed noodly appendages... but then the game was installed on our PC's and its clear that the hype did not live up to the game and the reviewers lied to us. Obviously bribed with something... Then when time passed they started to insult the game in their mags and sites and even called it the most over hyped game of all time... totally counterdicting what their reviews previously said.. and this behavior continues to this day.

Now it seems those who refuse to fall in line are going to get sued because they dare speak a their honest opinion and dislike for the game.

The things its now it´s games cost a lot of money from programmers to artist,the 3d work in a game can be very exhaustive and expensive.

3d Artist can be very expensive more today than ever since they have to use well several tools from max or maya to zbrush baking normal maps.

Just think.a producer who invest half a million in a game want to sell the friking thing no matters what.

Same goes to movies ,good trailer - crappy movie,its all about selling and selling fast

Quality-imagination-enthusiasm -love for what you are doing comes later for big companies.

the problem these days is, will a new game succeed with amazing gameplay but terrible graphics - as its the production values that cost the crazy money, and that gets the endoresement of the big graphic card vendors - and yeah, review mags and sites are just bizarre, its like they have to keep saying good things about the game during previews or the game company wont keep letting them have a sneak peek

It worked fine for me, it uses that SecuROM protection though albeit without a disc check. Smile

So far it's a good game but I haven't played much and am only about halfway trough chapter two at the moment.
(Nice atmosphere so far.)

There's some minor issues as well such as the controls but I guess they just take time getting used to.
(EDIT: To clarify a bit they are somewhat sensitive which is very noticeable during combat where it can be a bit difficult to attack properly plus Edward is a bit slow.)

EDIT:

(No shooting of friendly characters in this game.)
(EDIT: Screen turned out quite bad now that I look at it, probably due to the brightness when using a flashlight and some clipping problems.)

Nice, because the game is not yet on store where i live, and the atari european store is 50euros, while uk store is 44euros, not too much but its something.
lets see if the uk store works...

It's a legal version of the game acquired and bought via Atari's UK online store. Smile

It still uses that SecuROM online verification but without a disc check and it included a few bonuses from the full collectors edition (Which appears to be a exclusive to the "Game" stores.)

It also wasn't that expensive compared to the usual game prices in Sweden and it's been worth the money so far.
(Online purchases for games usually lie a bit above retail prices so as not out-compete the retail distributors or something like that from what I've read.)

Ofcourse I'm only in the beginning stages of the game and from the reviews I've read there's a few annoying stages further into the game but I'll see for myself when I get there.
(There's good sides and bad sides with most games though.)

EDIT: In relation to friendly fire it does register as a hit in that the character bleeds but they usually don't care if you hit them and it's not possible to kill them.
(Which does prevent a few accidents.)

It also seems enemies won't actively target friendly characters that are currently with you.

Game is pretty good. Unfortunately too drunk to play right now. Anyone who bought this game from atari e-store yesterday did you run into downloading problems? I had some serious difficulties downloading it. Had to download it about 3 times.

Did you read the article? They weren't suing them because it's a bad review. They're suing them because they believe that this website acquired their review copy of the game illegally.

They updated the article recently, seems only reviews who gave a high score were allowed to be released before the actual release date.

Not really a issue, most professional reviews or review sites like IGN and GameSpot have a few reviews that are biased so I usually just use them as a estimate together with feedback from other users and such.
(This site is also pretty good for getting a clear view of how the game is.)

Actually 2K haven't removed the protection from Bioshock, infact all they did was to remove the previous 5 installations only limit. Smile

I was about to go out and buy it yesterday, but then I read alot of negative talk so I'm definetly not gonna buy this before trying either a demo or a "fixed" version Smile
