Atari has released a new trailer for the upcoming PLAYSTATION 3 release of Alone In The Dark: Inferno. The game has already been released on the Xbox 360, Wii and PS2, but with the late arrival on the PLAYSTATION 3 comes some improvements. Too bad the newly released trailer has a buzzkill in it: some Xbox 360 controller footage shows up.
One of this year's most innovative videogames will get a blazing rework for its PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system debut this November as ATARI ignites Alone in the Dark: Inferno. Development studio Eden Games has responded to the feedback of media and gamers and has turned up the heat to deliver an even more entertaining, immersive and action-packed blockbuster experience for PLAYSTATION3. The hosts of sizzling gameplay enhancements, red-hot content and the hellish storyline have inspired the name Alone in the Dark: Inferno for the ultimate Alone in the Dark experience on PLAYSTATION3 system...
That Gaming Site Writes: "Since it's release Alone in the Dark has received some pretty harsh criticism regarding the control scheme. Even we here at That Gaming Site admit the controls could use some work! Atari has taunted us with a patch that may never make it to the Xbox 360 and PC versions of the game! Instead of waiting for the day that may never come we have found a way to make your experience with the controls a little more tolerable!"
MTV Multiplayer's Patrick Klepek reports:
Atari has released a list of the changes to be made in the PS3 version of Alone in the Dark, not due out until November this year.
Eden Studios has said that it is working on a patch for the Xbox 360 version of Alone in the Dark to bring it into line with the heavily reworked PS3 version.
PS3 Fanboy writes: "The long-delayed PS3 version of Alone in the Dark looks to be coming with enhancements ... and a price cut? A Gamestop listing shows Atari's survival horror game with a very nice price of $30. Of course, considering the overwhelmingly negative critical reviews it received when it debuted on Xbox 360, a lower price may still not justify a purchase."
Antoine Villette, founder of I Am Alive developer Darkworks, has told VG247 he believes Alone in the Dark can still be great, but only if Atari is prepared to make radical changes to its format.
Gamedaily.biz writes: "Break out the champagne. After endless losses, Atari has posted a net income of $3.5 million for its first quarter. The release of Alone in the Dark was a big factor.
Atari have announced that Alone in the Dark for PS3 will be undergoing improvements, rather than just being a direct port of the Xbox 360 version.
Today Atari announced that the PlayStation 3 version of Alone in the Dark will not release until November this year. Originally the game was planned to release in October. Read the article for more details.
An updated Atari release schedule has revealed that Alone in the Dark for PS3 - recently released for Xbox 360, Wii, PC and PS2 - is pencilled in for release in Q4 2008. This means PS3 gamers won't be getting their hands on the title until October at the earliest.
Videogamer writes: "Atari has revealed it wants more from its major summer release, Alone in the Dark, despite the title placing at No.1 in the Xbox 360 chart and at No.3 in the All Formats chart.
There have been a lot of controversy over this game (with it's many bad reviews and scores) and now it seems that the game will continue to get more controversial.
A packed videogame release week ahead. See what's new this week for the PLAYSTATION 3, Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and Sony PSP.
Highlights this week include Battlefield: Bad Company (Xbox 360/PS3), Alone in the Dark (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PC) and The Sims 2: IKEA Home Stuff (PC).
Atari has issued a statement to Gamesindustry.biz about the recent reviews of Alone in the Dark. The company said that it's happy with UK reviews of AITD, but refused to comment when asked about the legal rumours that have started appearing on the web.
Kotaku summarises: "This week, the following events took place: 1. We got a bunch of tips telling us that the Xbox 360 version of Alone in the Dark had turned up on BitTorrent sites. 2. Scandinavian games site GameReactor were one of the first to review Alone in the Dark. They gave it 3/10. Ouch. However, they then promptly pulled the review, and accusations of shady dealings were levelled against the site by Atari, who said that press copies had only been sent out the day before (the review has since been reinstated, and the 3/10 stands). Odd, seeing as many other European publications also had reviews go live this week, but whatever. 3. German site 4Players reviews the game. Gives it 68%. Then is threatened with legal action by Atari because, yes, Atari had no idea how the site got a copy of the game."
The german videogame site 4players.de reviewed the new 'Alone in the Dark' game and gave 68%. As we know that's quite a low score and influences your decision to buy the game or not. 4players said that 'Alone in the Dark' has a lame story and bad dialogue besides some technical issues like clipping and shitty artificial intelligence.
