    What's New In Alone In The Dark PS3?

    With the PlayStation 3 version of Alone in the Dark hitting in November, nearly half a year after its PC, Xbox 360, Wii, and PS2 versions, the development team have had plenty of time to fix the mistakes made in the initial release, and fix they have. Repairs have been made to the controls, the camera system, and inventory access, while gameplay tweaks should make car handling a bit more enjoyable. They've tuned the spectral vision system so less is required to complete the game, tweaked the 59th Street level difficulty by adding another checkpoint and clear voice directions, and have even added a brand new action sequence in Episode 6 exclusive to the PS3 version of the game. Hell, they may have even tightened up the graphics on level 3, though I have no official confirmation. More »

    Yes, Alone in the Dark 360 is Being Patched

    Pretty much anyone who reviewed Alone in the Dark on the Xbox 360 heaped hatred on the game's controls and camera system, and developer Eden Studios have learned their lesson. Not only is the forthcoming PS3 version going to have better movement and non-claustrophobic views, the 360 will get a patch that Eurogamer says "will implement most of the changes that have been made to the upcoming PS3 version."

    Atari Enjoys Not So Horrible Quarter

    Things are lookin' up for Atari! The company announced its quarterly results today, seeing $40.3 million in revenue for the quarter ending June 30. That's much better than the quarter from the previous year, if you don't have your earnings spreadsheets handy and translates to reported net income of $3.5 million. Sure, Bagel Mondays probably aren't returning any time soon and toner cartridge rations will still be in effect at all Atari offices, but it's better than losing nearly twelve million bucks. More »

    Atari's latest update of the Alone in the Dark franchise turned out to be a love it or hate it sort of affair upon its release last month, with reviewers and regular old gamers alike taking up positions so far from the fence that they couldn't even find each other to argue over it. Now Atari has revealed that PlayStation 3 owners will finally be able to either love or hate Edward Carnby's latest outing this November - five months after the game was released on all of the other platforms.

    Frankenreview: Alone In The Dark (Xbox 360)

    Back in 1992, Infogrames delivered unto PC gamers one of the scariest experiences they'd encountered to date in the form of Alone in the Dark, the first 3D survival horror game. I myself spent many a night playing the original title, guiding Edward Carnby through that haunted Louisiana mansion, scared out of my mind but unable to pull myself away, like a nightmare you can't wake up from.

    New Alone In The Dark Trailer Shows The Horror Of Forgetting Your Address

    To say that I've personally paid little attention to Atari's resuscitation of Alone In The Dark would be an understatement. But with a trailer this oddball, featuring some curiously out of place stunt drivin' and an off the beaten path soundtrack — what, no nu metal? — I'm morbidly curious, despite the early poor reviews and current hubbub. Sure, it's a gray and brown mess that looks far too much like a Silent Hill B-side, but it has flying lamprey demons versus helicopters. This could be a disaster of delicious proportions.

    Legal Mess Over Euro Alone In The Dark Reviews [Update]

    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 (The Norwegian edition specifically) 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. More »

    Phil Harrison Talks Alone in the Dark

    GameVideos has an interview up with Phil Harrison about the upcoming Alone in the Dark game. He doesn't really shed a whole lotta new light on the game, which is fine because the included in-game videos do plenty of that. If you watch through the entire interview you'll get a look at the game's new DVD menu interface, how the game uses items and weapons together, some nice cut-scenes and a bit of the puzzles. It's definitely worth a watch for fans of Alone in the Dark. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the franchise from back in the day. Even though this game looks pretty slick, I'm still worried it won't live up to my memories of playing the game back in the early 90s. More »

    Alone In The Dark Euro Limited Edition

    Someone at Eden Games has a thing for Keanu Reeves, don't you think? It's as if they buffed him up, renamed him Edward Carnby and plastered his face all over the European Limited Edition for Alone In The Dark for the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. He's on the cover of the Official Soundtrack CD, the Making Of DVD, and splashed throughout the pages of the bound art book. Hell, they've even included a figurine of Neo Carby for you to play bullet-time with in the bathtub. It's all wrapped up in a rather nifty looking box that will completely fail to fit on the shelf with the rest of your game collection, securing it a cherry spot above your mantle. All I can say is whoa...I hope we get something similar stateside. Not to sure about the game but I love having boxes of Limited Edition stuff lying around. More »

    More Alone In The Dark Tech In Action

    The technology Eden Games has integrated into their forthcoming Alone in the Dark continues to impress the hell out of me. From their first installment of their Real World Rules video series, which showed how various objects can be intuitively combined to create weapons and gadgets, to this second episode, which highlights object manipulation on a somewhat larger scale. I particularly love the notion of a health spray that can be used to heal, blind enemies, or be combined with your lighter to create a flamethrower. It might be a long way from fighting undead pirates in a Victorian mansion, but this new AitD could wind up being something just as exciting as the original.

    Rubbish At Alone In The Dark? Skip The Hard Bits

    In an interview with OXM, Alone In The Dark producer Nour Polloni has explained that the game's coming bundled with a feature that should help out anyone who suffers from stubby thumbs. If you find yourself stuck on a particular part of the game and are getting sick of replaying it, the game will let you skip straight past it:
    We want everybody to be able to finish our game, so one of the other new features we've added is the ability to skip sections using a DVD-style menu if you get stuck.
    Only downside is that it'll cost you possible achievement points, but then if you're the type of person who's going to skip on gameplay just to get past a tough bit you probably don't give a flying duck about your gamerscore, either. More »

    PS2 And Wii Get Alone In The Dark

    The title of this post sounds like a recipe for some hot console lovins, and it might not be too far from the truth. Ever cheerful in the face of impending doom, Atari has announced that the next game in the Alone in the Dark series is heading to the PlayStation 2 and Wii, along with the previously announced PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 versions. Hydravision is handling development on the two consoles, with Eden Games of course handling the more current-gennish versions. The developer promises to push both consoles to their very limits, with the Wii version of course getting the requisite Wiimote-specific control scheme. I'll still be getting the game for the 360 myself, but as the screenshots show the Wii version isn't looking too shabby.

    Alone In The Park

    You'd think topping the fright factor of a fifteen year-old video computer game would be a walk in the park, but few games have ever come close to matching the scariness of Infogrames' PC classic Alone In The Dark. If you ask me, realism is what is killing the mood. In the original AitD the primitive polygonal creatures allowed your imagination to fill in the gaps in truly terrifying ways. At least an Atari and Eden Games managed to pick a suitably eerie location for the game. Central Park is bad enough without supernatural forces beyond our comprehension at work. It won't have anywhere near the impact of the original, but hopefully it will be entertaining nonetheless.

    Alone in the Dark 2 Casted

    If you haven't heard already, Alone in the Dark is getting a movie sequel with the kind of star treatment you'd expect after seeing the first. Just because Christian Slater and Tara Reid weren't available to reprise their roles as Aline and Carnby doesn't mean that Uwe Boll couldn't resist dumpster diving in the pool of actors everyone calls "Hollywood" to scoop up some new talent for his film. Rick Yune (Fast and the Furious, Die Another Day), Lance Hendriksen (Pumpkinhead, Aliens) and Ralf Moeller (Far Cry, Postal, Seed) have all been cast for Alone in the Dark 2 which is going straight to video. So get your Netflix account to put this one at the bottom of your movie queue because filming starts on August 6th. Kim Phu More »

    So many conflicting emotions in one story. Uwe Boll, while in Cannes peddling his latest masterpieces, Far Cry and Postal, has announced that he is looking to start shooting this summer on the sequel to 2005's Alone In The Dark, which retells the story of Edward Carnby from the viewpoint of someone with no idea who the hell he is. Knowing Boll I am assuming it will take place in Antarctica during mid-summer and be subtitled "This Time It's Light." More »

    Atari just got a New York Times best-selling author to write for their upcoming game. The next installment in the Alone in the Dark series will reveal Edward Carnby's new horrific adventures in New York, something the author, Lorenzo Caracaterra, knows all to well having already worked as a writer and producer for Law & Order. Cacaterra has also written several books including Sleepers, Apaches, Gangster, Street Boys, and A Safe Place.
