Before you watch the video above, I highly recommend you catch the first episode of the Real World Rules series, so that you’ll get a better idea of what Alone in the Dark 5‘s engine has to offer.

In this episode, we learn that swinging a giant pipe at your foe isn’t as easy as hitting a face button. Much like skate. before it, Alone in the Dark 5 has adopted a control scheme that allows you to use the right analog stick for greater precision.

We’ve all heard the complaints about current game controllers being overly complicated, so this is definitely a step in the right direction.

Also shown in this tech demo is the ability to turn a can of disinfecting spray into a flamethrower. If I had to choose between additional health and burning monsters with a makeshift flamethrower while accidentally catching myself on fire and getting a game over, I’d undoubtedly pick death. Wouldn’t you too?
