Alone in the Dark Tech Demo 2

Along comes another Alone in the Dark Tech demo demonstrating impressively innovative environmental interaction. (You can check part one here) This time, they are showing off the use of the analog stick to actually swing objects around in the guys hands instead of using buttons. The faster you jerk the analog stick, the faster the guy will swing the chair. Fire seems to spread quite rapidly and easily on anything in this game.

The thing that always worries me about these new physics-heavy games is that the closer they try to get to realism, the more hilarious anomalies occur, which causes a more unrealistic experience for the user, which is the opposite of what they are trying to accomplish. Don’t you think holding a burning chair as a torch might start to burn you after a while?

    I think that’s why the guy threw away the chair. I suspect there’s a time limit before the chair breaks down. This is still a tech demo after all.
