There are few games that have had as big an impact as Alone in the Dark, developed and published by Infogrames. Hits like Resident Evil were just a logic evolution of what had begun with Alone in the Dark. It was the first game that featured rendered backgrounds and 3D polygonal characters placed over them, combined with fixed camera angles. Capcom, which doesn't deny that the roots of the series came from Alone in the Dark, took many of the ideas further and landed a big hit with Resident Evil. Other games like Silent Hill seem to have been influenced a lot by the tension of the Alone in the Dark series.
After the announcement that there would be a fourth game in the Alone in the Dark series, things got rather quiet regarding the game. But now that silence has been broken with these new screenshots of Alone in the Dark 4. Infogrames did not specify which version of the game these shots were taken from (the PC, Dreamcast, or PlayStation), but these screens give an impression of what to expect.
