Alone In The Dark PS3 Changes

On September 8th, 2008 in Uncategorized -

Atari’s coffers might have been replenished by Xbox 360 title Alone In The Dark but it mostly did so on buzz and hope. The remake, although selling well, performed rather abysmally. The game got an average score of 58 in the reviews. They’re tweaking the upcoming PS3 version of the title to try and address the issues that netted the game relatively low scores and hopefully bring even more money to the ailing video game icon. The new version will be out in November and will include upgraded camera controls, better controls and a streamlined inventory system. In addition to various control and gameplay tweaks there’s even some entirely new content, giving those who purchased the game and found it wanting another reason to give it a second try. Read the full list of changes after the break.

  • Full 360 camera control: enhanced camera controls allows complete freedom of the camera and better handling of first person view camera movement for even more immersive gameplay;

  • Fine-tuned controls: quicker and smoother reactivity of the hero’s movements in third person view make for more rapid movements in nail-biting situations;

  • Inventory system more accessible: more logical jacket inventory system with the ability to combine objects using only the D-pad, and more fluid hero movement makes item selection a breeze.

  • More tips: players will get all the help they need to get through every situation and get the most out of the game;

  • Spectral Vision tuning: a tutorial explains the need to burn roots in order to gain spectral vision and difficulty tuning means less spectral vision is required to reach the end of the game;

  • Improved car dynamics and handling: car handling has been tuned to make driving a car a walk in the park in every situation, including increased suspension and reduced drift;

  • 59th Street level tuning: one of the game’s most exciting sequences just got better. 59th Street has been tweaked for a more satisfying race against the fissure with difficulty tuning, an added checkpoint at Columbus Circle and clear voice directions given by Sarah;

  • Brand new thrilling action sequence: an exclusive new sequence has been added in Episode 6 for even more pace and variety of gameplay in the episode.
