Eden Studios and Atari finally woke up and released these 2 new images of the promising Alone in the Dark, to be released at the end of the year on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
That's standard. Teams are together for a Project, after its done some..and sometimes most devs are fired until the next Project is in the works and people are needed again. Only the core members stay in the time between the hot phase of the game development.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In one sense, it feels strange to even think Pieces Interactive had big shoes to fill with this series' legacy. Given what's come before, did it really? And yet, even when considering the last two flops over a two-decade span, there's still something about Alone in the Dark emblazoned on a title screen that carries a sense of revered history. In that respect, perhaps this reboot's best accomplishment is in honoring that spirit through its inventive world. It's also fair to emphasize knocks against its survival-horror design, some puzzle-solving, and so on; it certainly won't be considered a trendsetter like the 1992 classic. Still, the amount of goodwill wedded to its brighter qualities makes for something that dawdles the line between unfortunately-flawed and impressively-enticing."
The new Alone in the Dark remake doesn't do anything especially noteworthy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just... cromulent.
Hopefully by this time developers will be able to actually make a decent multi platform game for the PS3.
looks really good. I just hope that the story and atmosphere ends up being everything it is heralded to be.
I'm having my doubts about this game. It reminds me of Prey. The concept was really good, but it was a partial let down upon release. IDK.......
very pretty
I am DEFINITELY getting this game. Graphics are great! but to be honest... I'm getting this game for the gameplay (unlike anything I've ever seen) and just for the fact that the same guys who made RIddick- best game EVAR!
