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.

Simple. The install base is tiny. By waiting another year or so, they'll sell another hundred thousand copies or so.
Oh, and it's a PITA to develop for, too ;-) |

eheheh, the PS3 has no games, MS conspiracy! PS3 says consumers don't need no rumble, blame 360! the price too high for what it doesn't do? Wii's fault for beeing too cheap!
Can some Sony suit give these guys an Achievement or something ? Achievement Unlocked: "The Sony Ultra Fan (like in a Turkish football team kinda way)"

All these delays laugh in the face of people who think MS 'squandered' their first year head start.
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. |

PS3 can't handle it so they need longer to optimise... we've come to expect this by now haven't we?
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 |

>I used AW to illustrate how everything gets pushed back.
??? 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 :P Maybe the AitD movie on Bluray!!!!!

Atari will be Ok..they'll get more PS3 customers too...all they need to do is say they've optimised some guff or other for PS3 (Change a texture on a door, take a screengrab) then they'll sell more on PS3 than they would've otherwise, like Colin McRae...that's huegly different on PS3 i hear, enough that PS3 owners want to get it to play the game with higher framerates for once than 360
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.. |

Could be worse, could be Lair...
On conspiracies, here's something. Check this wikipedia edit: "Halo 3's graphics won't look much better than Halo 2" http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff... Now check the IP address of the editor SCEE Liverpool office http://wikiscanner.virgil.gr/name2ip.php...

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! |

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?

You rang?, the fact that you say I will turn up in this topic shows that you are afraid. Afraid that your PS3 is under performing and leaving itself open for attacks from the swift hand of justice, me.
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.

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

The game is delayed because SCEE's David Reeves asked Atari to: there are too many good games coming out for the PS3 this winter, so they don't want you to be confused about what to buy with your hard-earned money. BTW, FF13 is delayed until 2017.
