WC: Now you’ve got some terror back in your games. Not only is the character in the game powerless and scared, but so is the person playing them – and what better time than October, the month of Halloween, to take a look at ten of the most terrifying unkillable video game enemies (and then spend a few hours watching Let’s Play from behind the sofa)?
Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
That's standard. Teams are together for a Project, after its done some..and sometimes most devs are fired until the next Project is in the works and people are needed again. Only the core members stay in the time between the hot phase of the game development.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In one sense, it feels strange to even think Pieces Interactive had big shoes to fill with this series' legacy. Given what's come before, did it really? And yet, even when considering the last two flops over a two-decade span, there's still something about Alone in the Dark emblazoned on a title screen that carries a sense of revered history. In that respect, perhaps this reboot's best accomplishment is in honoring that spirit through its inventive world. It's also fair to emphasize knocks against its survival-horror design, some puzzle-solving, and so on; it certainly won't be considered a trendsetter like the 1992 classic. Still, the amount of goodwill wedded to its brighter qualities makes for something that dawdles the line between unfortunately-flawed and impressively-enticing."
The new Alone in the Dark remake doesn't do anything especially noteworthy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just... cromulent.
Nemesis FTW!!
That thing was one of the worst nightmare of my childhood back in the 90's gaming. lol
Not a bad list. Agree with Nemesis and Chris Walker for sure.
I'd also nominate the regenerators from Dead Space. Those things were relentless.
No.9 from Parasite Eve 2
