‘Alan Wake’ is Playable On the Xbox One
Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, Pac-Man and Alan Wake are now playable on the Xbox One. Of the 100+ titles that have been added to the console’s backwards compatibility program since it launched in November, only a handful of them have been of the horror persuasion. At least Remedy’s beloved supernatural thriller is in good, if somewhat meager, company in Alan Wake’s American Nightmare, Condemned: Criminal Origins and the first two Doom games.
It’s uncomfortable to think about, but there are some people who haven’t yet been exposed to this strange and wonderful game. Fortunately, Remedy has turned Alan Wake into a pre-order incentive for Quantum Break, which releases on April 5 for PC and Xbox One. If you have to pre-order something, you could do worse.
This leaves us with a legion of horror games that are still waiting to get some love. I’m not sure what’s taking Dead Space so long, but that needs to happen already.
So, which of the Xbox 360’s many horror games are you the most eager to play on the Xbox One?
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
