Alone in the Dark is nearly upon us. To celebrate the fruition of the project, which was announced waaayyyy back in 2005, Atari has released the 'Making Of' video below.

SPOnG is currently dwelling on the irony of a title called Alone in the Dark being released as close as is possible to the longest day of the year. We'd like to think it's because the game is just too damned scary to be released in the deep dark depths of winter. We don't know where that leaves PS3 owners, who won't see the game on their platform until "towards the end of the year."

Anyway, click on the video below to see how Alone in the Dark nearly didn't get made and see how much better it looks than the original from back in the days of yore...
