PS3 Version of Alone in the Dark Gains Subtitle, Polish

fitbabits · 10-10-2008, 10:04 AM

According to the folks over at Atari, Alone in the Dark for the PS3 will now officially be known as Alone in the Dark: Inferno. Coupled with the new subtitle, Atari and Eden Games are promising a plethora of improvements to the PS3 version that should make for a more enjoyable experience. The list of improvements are mostly moot, but one in particular deserves special mention here, and it is...

Full 360 degree camera control

How this was not implemented in the current versions of the game is anyone's guess, but there's no doubt in my mind that this one fix alone will ensure that the game itself is a far more enjoyable experience.

The PlayStation 3 version of the game will shop some time later this year, and there will be a demo available on the PlayStation Network some time in November.

I don't suppose it's too late to ask for a patch for the 360 version? If any patch deserves the label 'the patch that adds the fun', then it would surely be this one!

Full 360 degree camera control? You mean it wasn't in the original game? Wow so glad I didn't pick that up when it first came out.

Rogue_hunter · 10-10-2008, 10:09 AM

Font is funky?

And I remember reading that the work done to fix the game was so broad that it would be nearly impossible to release the patch to the 360, at least, according to one of the devs. I think it was in an interview with MTV Multiplayer blog.

I think they announced that the 360 version won't be getting an update. To bad.

Wouldn't a patch for the 360 require a hard drive to install it on?

Awesome news as this game has a lot of strengths and really tries to do something special. It does not always succeed, but it is an ambitious effort. Unfortunately, the patch won't fix a number of other issues with the game, including angsty characters, terrible writing, and having to press a button in order to make your character BLINK, but better controls should help immensely.

I believe they announced that there would be a patch with the new controls and camera, but not for the new content. It can't be a priority.

Might want to play more than 30 seconds of a game before passing judgment. :-)

Why are they subtitling it in Polish?

You still blink later in the game to clear blood from your eyes.

Yes, if only the 360 had a HDD :rolleyes:. Practically every 360 game has been patched at some point, why would the non-standard HDD suddenly be a problem for this game?

I dunno I don't play my 360 much.

Damn straight I'm allowed to. If I get a game, play it, and don't like it, then I don't like it. That's how opinions are formed. :rolleyes:

Johan · 10-10-2008, 11:03 AM

So, how many Polish people are in the game?

KingGorilla · 10-10-2008, 11:09 AM

Eastern Europe is a huge market. Look at STALKER and the Witcher. Those folks have money to spend, and savvy publishers are pushing into those markets. Do not be surprised if Atari, making big connections there, blows up as big as Ubi.

Thrak · 10-10-2008, 05:12 PM

I really wanted to play this game based on the preview videos, but then put a hold on it after the initial reviews started coming out. While I'm hoping in general that the 360 gets some type of patch, as I like the controller better and prefer to keep as many games as possible on that console, I'd consider getting it cheap on the PS3 in a while if they really do fix a lot with it.

Gwinny · 10-10-2008, 05:14 PM

The response to the 360 version warned me off the title, but if the reception of the PS3 version is better I might give it a go.

Gorvi · 10-10-2008, 06:23 PM

I could see grabbing this game cheap in April. Not a chance it'll get a second look with how crowded this Fall is right now, though.

Xerxes · 10-11-2008, 03:18 AM

I got it for $10 bucks.
