Tomb Raider owner Embracer thinks AI will "empower" devs but few agree

2024-06-21 17:53 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

AI in gaming is a hot topic right now with AMD's new AI CPUs about to release and AI-enhanced upscaling software being an ever more common feature for getting the best performance on PC. Now, the Embracer Group believes that AI will also aid general game development, and it's vague plans aren't being received well. Even if you have the best graphics card, the chances are you will still use an AI-based upscaling software like Nvidia DLSS or AMD FSR to improve your frame rates. What Embracer is proposing, however, is a broader use of AI to impact not just game optimization, but also "increase re

All Alone in the Dark Lagniappes and locations

2024-03-20 16:10 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

Where are all the Alone in the Dark Lagniappes? Alone in the Dark is set partly in 1920s New Orleans, and is faithful not only to its period, but also its location. "Lagniappe" is a New Orleans term for a free bonus or gift, and is used in-game for sets of collectible items. Not content with simple, useless collectibles for completionists, though, Alone in the Dark Lagniappe sets, when completed, can change the game, so there's even more reason to find them all. As you explore both the worlds of Alone in the Dark, you might want to check each and every corner and cranny for these interesting c

Alone in the Dark x-ray puzzle solution

2024-03-20 14:23 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

How do you solve the x-ray puzzle in Alone in the Dark? Alone in the Dark takes place in Derceto Manor, a "home for the mentally fatigued". It's only natural, then, that there's a lot of therapy talk and medical references - and the classic x-ray puzzle. Down in the rather disturbing hospital basement of the Alone in the Dark manor, you must put the pieces of an x-ray together to receive part of a statue to be used in a later puzzle. You don't actually use the x-ray itself, and I'm not entirely sure how it magically conjures up a physical item, but those are questions best left unasked in the

What are the best Alone in the Dark settings? Whether you're looking for more frames or a steadier gameplay experience, we've collated the best video and gameplay settings you need to tackle this modern revival of a horror classic. We've already run through the Alone in the Dark system requirements, and it's clear you won't need the best graphics card to get good performance from this horror adventure. However, GPUs with limited VRAM may struggle, and there are some key tweaks to consider for aiming sensitivity. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: Alone in the Dark x-ray puzzle soluti

Is Alone in the Dark Steam Deck compatible?

2024-03-20 11:26 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

Is Alone in the Dark Steam Deck compatible? The Steam Deck is a goldmine for single-player games, and Alone in the Dark is yet another well-optimized title that you can add to the library. This survival horror game will require multiple playthroughs to fully appreciate, and Valve's handheld is a great way to play it. The Alone in the Dark system requirements make for light work on one of the best handheld gaming PCs in the Steam Deck, and if you're using an OLED, you can also benefit from HDR gameplay.

Get the classic Alone in the Dark games for the price of a coffee

2024-03-19 15:38 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

Our Alone in the Dark review is now up, and sadly, Ed Smith has come away from the experience thoroughly disappointed. That's in large part due to how pivotal the original Alone in the Dark series was in establishing the rules and aesthetics of modern survival horror. Fortunately, those games can still be played, and you can own the original series (and more!) for less than the price of a cup of chicory coffee at Café Du Monde. Read the rest of the story...

Alone in the Dark Dr Grey's apartment talisman solution

2024-03-19 14:10 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

What is the talisman solution in Dr Grey's office in Alone in the Dark? Whether playing as Edward or Emily, your talisman becomes an important part of your journey, helping you travel between worlds as you uncover the mystery of Derceto. While most of the Alone in the Dark talisman coordinates are easily found in notes or the environment around you, similar to the Alone in the Dark Pregzt safe combination. Later in the game, there is a far more difficult puzzle. In Dr Grey's apartment, a marking on the floor gives your answer, but the mysterious symbols don't reveal much in the way of coordina

All Alone in the Dark combination lock puzzle solutions

2024-03-19 14:10 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

What are the Alone in the Dark combination lock solutions? We've been here before. While Alone in the Dark is very much its own game, it's easy to draw similarities to other genre stalwarts like Resident Evil. These parallels are only aggravated by the similarity in some of the puzzles, and it's hard to think of a horror survival game without at least one combination lock. The 1992 original Alone in the Dark is one of the games considered as having launched the genre, but the colorful, almost comical game never had quite the same grit and gore as, say, Resident Evil 1. That came a few years la

Alone in the Dark Pregzt safe combination

2024-03-19 14:10 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

What is the Alone in the Dark Pregzt safe combination? In Chapter 3, having faced the Dark Man for the first time, you find yourself following Jeremy's clues to the Pregzt Shipping Company. There, you need to uncover the location of a very special magic show, which can be found in the company's shabby office. Alone in the Dark is a typical horror survival game, and, as such, is full to the brim with small but challenging puzzles, giving some respite from its terrifying combat. Some aren't necessary to completing the game, but most are, including unlocking the safe in the Pregzt Shipping Compan

Alone in the Dark clock puzzle solution

2024-03-19 14:10 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

How do you fix the Astronomical Clock in Alone in the Dark? One of your earliest objectives in Alone in the Dark is to find the Astronomical clock. It's not hard, the large clock is at the top of the manor stairs - but how to interact with it is slightly more complex. In a classic survival game puzzle, you must find two missing pieces of a puzzle, place them in the clock, and rearrange them. This isn't the only time you'll do this in Alone in the Dark, as we mention in our Alone in the Dark review, but it is the first - and the first time you'll experience the power of your mysterious Talisman

All Alone in the Dark chapel medallions

2024-03-19 14:09 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

How do you unlock the hollow doors in the Alone in the Dark Chapel? The best horror survival games are filled with complex puzzles and conundrums - after all, a jump scare just wouldn't be the same if you didn't have to spend ten minutes unlocking the door in front of it first. As you explore Derceto Manor in Alone in the Dark, and another world entirely, there are plenty of brain-teasers to keep you distracted from what might be creeping around you. Among the most terrifying locations in the horror game are the chapel crypts you enter directly from the Manor basement. Naturally filled with un

Alone in the Dark review - the death of survival horror's pioneer

2024-03-19 14:01 UTC · PCGamesN · editor@pcgamesn.com

Popular gaming history will record 1992's Alone in the Dark as the first, formalized survival horror. Earlier experiments like Sweet Home, Project Firestart, or even 3D Monster Maze or James Andreasen's Haunted House established the spiritually assonant union of videogames and fear - when you're the one in control, and it's happening to you, it can be scarier than a movie or a book. But it was Frédérick Raynal and Infogrames who pushed the survival horror genre over the edge. Alone in the Dark ratified, or began to ratify, the mechanics. Combat is unintuitive by design and best avoided; progre

Who are the Alone in the Dark voice actors and cast?

There are some famous voices and faces behind the cast and characters of Alone in the Dark, and now the Alone in the Dark release date isn't far off, now's the best time to see who's voicing who.

Alone in the Dark system requirements

What are the Alone in the Dark system requirements? A survival horror classic has returned, but unfortunately, it's been met with a less than stellar reception. If you plan to enter Decerto Manor, we've gathered the system requirements for Alone in the Dark. It may fall short of being one of the best horror games on PC, and our Alone in the Dark review only gives it a 4/10. On a positive note, the game doesn't demand the best graphics card for any of the current system requirement levels, meaning it's easy enough to play even on older hardware.
