Alone in Dark PS3 delayed
Will follow PC, 360 versions.
Atari has told Eurogamer that the latest instalment in the Alone in the Dark series will not be released on all platforms simultaneously.
The Xbox 360 and PC versions are still on schedule to arrive before the end of the publisher's fiscal year in March 2008. However, the PS3 game will follow later on a date yet to be announced.
Atari gave no reason for the delay, but assured us that AitD is still very much in development for Sony's machine.
Alone in the Dark was originally announced for 360 and PC back in 2005, with the PS3 version confirmed a year later.

Well you can't blame them. Why does the PS3 ALWAYS gets delayed???? Must be MS money!

Oh, and it's a PITA to develop for, too

Maybe... but isn't that a Catch 22? 360 gets stuff quicker, hence more people buy 360s, hence 360 gets stuff quicker,.. etc..

1) Game started development for PS3 later.
2) Experienced PS3 coders are not easy to come by.
3) Experienced 360 coders are easier to get.

Having a year's head start wasn't just about getting ahead in userbase, but also in developer's knowledge of the system, perfecting SDKs etc. And it's now paying off.
Everyone is still buying Wiis instead though.

What a difference to 3 years ago when the PS3 was apparently going to change the world with it's technology and all those dumb fanboys thought it was the truth (and repeated it ad nauseam for years after)
Once the system got released they soon shut up.. lol

??? AW was always a 2008 release. It is one of the big hitters for MS next year and was always positioned as such. MS have been quiet on AW because the have plenty of stuff to show this year... expect massive AW news in 2008. What is the use of rushing your big hitters when you have plenty?
>will add so many 'enhancements' to the PS3 version
Maybe the AitD movie on Bluray!!!!!

Could be a good tactic...wait till more people have one, say you've improved or optimised it for the system and that was the reason for delays, sell more..

Higher frame rate but reduced geometry. CM really spinned that in a very wrong way IMHO but, in the end, the game plays smoother.

In all fairness to Sony and the Fanboys the 360 did blind side the industry with both it's release date and specs. MS did a good job at keeping it under raps, it was only like 6 months between announcment and release!
Comment below viewing threshold Show
True.. I wonder if some IBM guys leaked the PS3 (Cell) specs to MS? It looks a bit like IBM let Sony pay up for Cell and was never really interested in using it a lot. Maybe they pulled a fast one?

A hunter hunts his prey for the thrill of the chase, PS3 has become a one legged hippo with no teeth, there is no fun in hunting such a beast.
Call me when PS3 gets back in the race, if ever that day comes. Then I won't feel guilty for hunting the PS3 as it will be able to defend itself. Until that day you guys may as well be talking about the Atari Lynx , it's almost as obsolete as the PS3 but has twice the fun.

Maybe you should set your eyes on the small and nimble WiiBeast. Millions of them are currently migrating from the east.

XBox and PC can versions can be worked on similtaneously due to the development tools provided by microsoft therefore it makes more sense to concentrate on these versions first.

I agree that stinks (though has sod all to do with AitD). I hope Eurogamer grabs this and beats Sony over the head for their dirty tricks campaign.

Maybe but the word itself is an easy conversation killer. Sure, loads of people are just here to say 'Told you so'. But isn't it a truth that the ps3 gets games later in general? So can't people comment on that?
Whenever there is something about the 360 breaking down, tons of people come in there and say something about that. Are they all automatically SDF?
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Anyway, BluRay IS awesome. Even for games.
Looking forward also to how the use of Havok software develops, as that seems to like the Cell a lot. Right now not that many games use it fully, but in the future it will be interesting to see. Even in a game like Half-life 2.

Xbox Live have some really great features like cross-game messaging, chat and invites built into it's foundation, but PSN has proved to me that it is able to compete in stability, lag and overall fun... and free
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Unless a game can offer something really great, I find games with more than 16p bordering on too many players.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
As long as Xbox Live still don't allow dedicated servers in the same extent as on PSN, 24-40 player games (like Resistance and Warhawk) will not run well enough on XBL's peer-2-peer architecture. MS should have embraced dedicated servers for Halo 3 IMO.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
True, but playing with 4-5 friends in a squad in a 40p match is still a blast
Comment below viewing threshold Show
"It's still a blast in an 8 vs 8 game. "
Agree - has lot of fun in small and hectic matches too
Comment below viewing threshold Show
XBL allows dedicated servers. There have been several games in the past that used dedicated servers. Most companies aren't interested however because they cost money and don't do a better job at what they try to achieve.

Someone else in the same situation as myself, who has a brain!
Of course, all of the children assume we're Xbox fanboys, becuase we refuse to be ripped off paying for Sony to get richer.
Yeah, so I'm an Xbox fanboy with a PSP in my inside pocket, a Sony Ericsson W880i, Sony Cybershot camera, Sony Trinitron TV, and a PS2 with a huge library of games.
No, I'm just not emptying my bank account into Sony's for the next 5 years, in return for a Trojan Horse BluRay box. I'll get a BluRay player if and when I'm ready.
Games console first, please Sony, or it's no sale.

Perfect Dark Zero didn't have dedicated servers but could run 32 players with absoloutly no lag on massive maps on most connections. God knows how it pulled that off!
Comment below viewing threshold Show
By concentrating all their development time on that one area and ignoring, you know, the game?
Was quite fun co-op though.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Anyone thinking about getting the PS3 should just hangfire on it. To say i'm dissapointed is putting it mildly. The sixaxis is a poor gimick that is pants on most games. (not bad on warhawk i hear). Wii has the motion stuff wacked and I can't help but feel too little too late for my PS3.
Also anyone who says you don't miss the rumble in their pads are lying to. Shooting someone or driving into a wall just doesn't feel the same.
I really hope they sort it out or it may well have to go up for sale.

Err...yeah but Sony has more games in development than both Nintendo and Micrsoft...and does anyone believe that Blu-ray wont be an advantage for PS3 developers over the next 5 years? Mark Rein has already said that that the extra legroom in terms of storage is beneficial for developers, while DVD is a limitation that has to be worked around.

Let me add my bit while I'm here: LOL @ Sony! Thank GOD for teh cell and all it has given us to date.

Sony's Blu-ray has not taken off. The fact it is it's not long before Super Hi Def is here, and will be on every Tv Resolution, and most sure on the next gen consoles.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
By the time it comes around, Blu-ray/HD DVD will be established.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Right...possibly the most baised post ever. FF XIII, MGS 4 and GT5 will all shift way more PS3's than the likes of *cough* Dead Rising and Lost Planet. Whether YOU rate them or not is utterly irrelevant.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Gotta love the "xbox live doesnt have many large multiplayer games therefore large multiplayer games are shite" argument
Comment below viewing threshold Show
GT5 vs FORZA RACING (best sim racer at the moment) & PGR4, FFIII vs MASS EFFECT, LOST ODDYSEE, STAR WARS KOTOR, CRY-ON...MGS vs SPLINTER CELL CONVECTION.
The thing is FF and MGS have been rumored, or could appear on 360. Though none of the 360 games will ever appear on PS3. Also the fact is 360 is not fighting HD era, and still can operate using duel(x4)layered disc - which is more then enough space for any sort of game, and can continue to use all the way untill the next gen consoles start to appear. Unlike Sony which is depending on Blu-ray, which no one seem bothered with: which won't last once Super Hi-Def is around. Panasonic, Pioneer, Phillips etc already heading this way for there new generation tvs - 2011.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Does that even make sense? Well either way, its still 7.2GB as stated above.
Oh, and Square have already said FF XIII and FF XIII Versus, will not be coming to the 360. If MGS 4 does come, chances are it will be a watered down version since Kojima has already spoken about it being in excess of 20GB, (which I guess throws your 'which is more then enough space for any sort of game' argument out of the windown.
Oh and Splinter Cell is coming to PS3.
Everyone know this--except 'The Truth' obviously.

As for the MP argument: Call it whatever you want, I have been playing MP for a very long time now and when you want a game where the team is manageable towards an objective, 8 players per team is as big as it will get. Pure and simple. Anything bigger than that is just a feeding ground to chaos, subgroups and complete loners. And that, by all definitions, never results in fun.
But hey, wtf do I know, right? After all, I disagree with you so I must be an xbot.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
More people equals less fun, to me anyway. Until game developers come up with a way to coerce people to cooperate and truly play together, I'll stay away from the large hordes online.
Comment below viewing threshold Show
Comment below viewing threshold Show
For all the criticisms and predictions that PSN was going to be shite, it seems remarkably capable at hosting large multiplayer games with more players than is the norm for xbox live. Xbots can go on all they like about how they dont like large multiplayer games, but its a feather in the cap for PSN.
Oh, and ive been playing MP for a "very" long time too and I love the larger battles you get in the likes of Battlefield and Planetside.

I'm sure Splinter Cell Convection will not come to PS3!...Also it was mentioned that Gears Of War would have trouble to run at the standard as 360, due to the same reason + ram available memory.

The delays, cancellations, poor performance of games that do eventually get released...it all adds up to make the Playstation 3 a BIG disappointment!!!
