Strategy Informer has unleashed 12 new screenshots for Alone in the Dark 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.
What’s annoying is people don’t understand how contractors work, either. All of this is uninformed knee-jerk reactions without any understanding of how employment works in this industry. There are key developers and staff that stay with a studio/publisher, but often times it’s a hire per project and then seeking new employment for a project. That’s how it’s always been…
That's a fair point too. I would say that in light of its tepid critical/commercial response and ongoing mass layoffs across the industry I think it's understandable for fans to worry about the longer-term implications. We'll see how it plays out in the future.
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.
this game will be one of those games to watch in the coming months.
an AAA hit in the horizon.
im highly anticipating this
it needs more polish .. but it looks amazing for this genre
and in 4th screen(first from left in second row), I noticed that Multi Light sources causing shadow..(just see the man's shadow)
I saw same technology in Doom3 (FIRST TIME in gaming world with DirectX9.0 c) ,
but developers rarely using this tech even in Dx10 .. and Allways use one source for their environment for less process..
some of these shots are old, and most of the "new" are from an old video.
soory to be a buzzkill here but ps3 version got delayed till late 2008 a couple days ago.. www.aloneinthedark5.com
