These are the improvements made for the PS3 version of the game.
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.
x bots ya see delays are worth the wait
Keep ya beta
This is day one for me
I hope the send a patch for the 360 version. I can get this game cheap now. Otherise I may have to buy the ps3 version. There just are not enough action horror games out there.
lmfao
i'm not laughing because the ps3 version is better..
but hopefully this will shut up the ps3 haters.. this is proof that games in the past shouldnt have sucked on the ps3. all updates shown in the ps3 walkthroughs were possible on the 360.. had it received the time and care the ps3 version did.
in the past many games were wrongfully compared when the ps3 version didnt receive the attention it needed to work properly.
still and all, i would like to again thank all the 360 owners for beta testing these games for us..
all i can say is good for ps3
there are always good reasons for delays some bad like haze
AND THEIR BROKEN VERSION OF AITD
