A reader says " As with water , fire is also hard to replicate in games, with so many physical attributes and properties like fire inflaming other objects in the game world and fire spreading, fire is essential for many things like explosions or a game which utilizes the fire element, or they can just be lazy and add generic 2D pixalated sprite.."

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
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."
Far Cry 2 should be first given all the dynamics that go into the fire. It's an open world game which means that the fire is not just some scripted event for a few minutes. Also I'd even say Killzone 2 should be higher than Alone in the dark.
It's funny how this site got hits off of their water article so now they do fire. I guess next we shall see snow and ice. Let me guess Lost Planet is number 1?
Sorry... KZ2 should be first.... Thats the most realistic fire effect I have seen....
HL2: Episode 2 has surprisingly good fire.
If kz2 isn't 1st I'm not even gonna waste my time reading
I played Alone in the Dark on PS3 and loved it. Very under-rated game, not quite sure why it got hated on so much. I thought it was tense and had pretty good graphics, and yeah, the fire in the game was really awesome.
