PS3 Alone in Dark not delayed

Atari offers explanation.

Atari has told Eurogamer this afternoon that the PS3 version of Alone in the Dark hasn't been delayed after all, but will launch simultaneously with the PC and 360 games.

The PS3 version didn't appear on the publisher's most recent release schedule and a spokesperson told us in response to a follow-up query that "[the 360 and PC versions] are the first to be released".

But now Atari has explained it's all been a misunderstanding - and AitD PS3 should have been listed on the schedule all along.

Alone in the Dark is yet to be given a solid launch date, and currently swims in the crocodile infested waters of "Coming Soon Financial Year 2007/08", which could mean any time between now and next March.

We'll let you know when it re-emerges. Chomp.

    Did this whole debacle come about because of my throw-away comment at the start of that Atari news post the other day? :-D

    Have any of the AitD games been any good since the original 3, which are rubbish by today's standards.
  • Dizzy #8 5 years ago

    I am sure a new delay story will crop up soon..

    Oh wait...
  • Artemis_Matsas #9 5 years ago

    So, no delay for a game that still doesn't have a firm release date???

    Ok, now you lost me :-/
  • sharpfish #10 5 years ago

    Not delayed = runs worse and looks worse than 360 version. So nothing to cheer about PS3 fans.

    Had it been delayed there could have been hope that it would perform as well as the 360 version.


    /btw - i'm not really a 'fanboy' or 'xbot' (my 360 has RROD and i'm pissed off with it right now) I just LOVE to hate Sony that's all.
  • JediMasterMalik #11 5 years ago

    That's still fanboyism.
  • Kryon #12 5 years ago

    Who cares if the PS3lol version is delayed or not? Either way it's gonna suck. All multi-plat games on PS3lol suck. That's why the PS3 is lol.
  • JediMasterMalik #13 5 years ago

    I wish my PS3 could lol, that would be an amazing feature.

    Wheres the 60gig version?
  • Kryon #21 5 years ago

    Lol Wayne, you think people who lol at your pathetic excuse for a games console deserve 'death'? Look mate, the PS3 is lol, there's no excusing the fact. Ken got sacked for making such a lolable console, get over it, jeez.
  • Kryon #22 5 years ago

    @zuljin

    The 60gig version was too lol for me to find a pic of, soz :)
  • sneetch #23 5 years ago

    @Kryon
    You do know what lol means don't you? It means laugh out loud.

    "Who cares if the PS3laugh out loud version is delayed or not? Either way it's gonna suck. All multi-plat games on PS3laugh out loud suck. That's why the PS3 is laugh out loud."

    "Laugh out loud Wayne, you think people who laugh out loud at your pathetic excuse for a games console deserve 'death'? Look mate, the PS3 is laugh out loud, there's no excusing the fact. Ken got sacked for making such a laugh out loudable console, get over it, jeez."

    All that laughing out loud, wow, something must be hilarious. What is it? Let me see if I can guess, is it "teh PS3lolololomgstfulawl"?

    Sad really, I can understand how some people have issues with one console or another but this kind of chuckleheaded trolling is just pointless.
  • Kryon #24 5 years ago

    If my 'chuckleheaded' trolling is so pointless. Surely it's also pointless to reply to my posts? Get a clue snitch.
  • penhalion #25 5 years ago

    Sooo they are going to delay the other two versions to sync release dates up then......

    Correcting fools is never pointless, they might just learn something and stop making an ass of themselves.

    Oh and it's Sneetch, not snitch, try to read more carefully in the future. There's a good boy.

    Oh, I see, is that why you've edited your own post then snitch?

    /Pats snitch on his scatty little head."

    Aw bless you, you're really trying. I can see the first glimmerings of intelligence behind your dim eyes and animal brow.

    Good work there, you're apparently thinking, it's even vaguely relevant and you've made a number of posts without relying on the acronym "lol". I think we've made some real progress today, obviously no real progress on word recognition (again it's Sneetch not snitch, but those two words are a bit similar so it might be a bit tricky for someone with your primitive intellect so don't try too hard).

    Good for you. I'm really proud of you!
  • Kryon #32 5 years ago

    Chill out snitch, you're starting to sound like a little fat boy who lost his candy floss.

    "Aw bless you,"

    Heh heh, did you really just say that? So I take it you're one of those (shall we say) effeminate type of 'boys' then? It certainly would explain an awful lot...
  • DjFlex52 #33 5 years ago

    That was some tasty bait, Kryon :)
    Everyone usually swims around it but you caught a big one today

    are you happy now?
  • Kryon #34 5 years ago

    DjFlex52

    A few questions -

    Are you a DJ or do you just call yourself that because you think it's 'cool'?

    Are you 52 or was your chosen name so unoriginal that 52 was the lowest number you could choose from?



    PS. I'm extremely happy but thanks for asking:)
  • Katsumoto #35 5 years ago

    So if PS3 version is delayed - Xbots troll like the twats they are. If ps3 version is on time - Xbots troll like the twats they are. EG is really going downhill.

    I do not and do not intend in the forseeable future to own a ps3, so don't start.
  • Kryon #36 5 years ago

    Katsumoto, don't worry man, if I owned a PS3, I'd deny it too :)
  • DjFlex52 #37 5 years ago

    @Kryon

    When did being "called" DJ become a "cool" name?
    My name could be Dennis Jackson...lol
    Yes, I am a DJ.

    a question...

    Why are you named Kryon?....cause at times you can't spell and you're a xbot crybaby?
    See....I can ask dumb questions too ;)

    And that ends this discussion unless you want to talk about PS3 AitD

    "And that ends this discussion unless you want to talk about PS3 AitD"

    Erm.....I.....Think it's ...erm... lol, but it'll be OK on the 360 obviously. That is all.

    Edit - So you're a real DJ, it's just that if you google DJFlex, it comes up with about 200 different ones, which one is you? is it this one <a href=http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/69421 40/a/Live+(@gay+Pride+Paris+2005).htm>DjFlex </a>

  • Vandrius #39 5 years ago

    Could the xbots pelase get a life?

    AitD hasn't been delayed for PS3 it turns out. So all the xbots backpedal and now say it'll just be worse on PS3.

    My god. The thread reeks of more desperation than a chocolate bar sitting in the middle of a room full of starving obese people.
  • Isere #40 5 years ago

    Kryon my advice is to save up, get a PS3 and spare everyone the sad ramblings. They shout out 'insecurity' more than anything else, which I'm sure is not your intent.

    I can sympathize with someone who wants both consoles but can't afford to have them but this whole fanboy 'pull wool over own eyes and get head stuck up a console act' is ridiculous.






  • Kryon #41 5 years ago

    "insecurity" ?

    Isere, honestly, why would anyone with a 360 want a PS3 at the moment or feel 'insecure' in any way? The PS3 is at best a poor mans 360 (apart from the fact it costs alot more). It's a shame that high price tag doesn't guaranty getting any decent software. I'm guessing you haven't seen both systems running side by side, if you had, you'd know how much of a joke the PS3lol is.
  • captainrentboy #42 5 years ago

    Why are all the PS3 owners moaning about the xbots invading their comments section? When one of the first comments on here was practically begging an Xbox fan to kick off.
    God it's fucking sad, I bet the vast majority of us are over 21 too. *Sigh*
    PS3 Suuuuuuucks!!!111!!
  • dredd97 #43 5 years ago

    so you have a ps3 then kryon?

    afterall if you deny it, we all know it will be true...as you said your self..
  • FaceOmeter #44 5 years ago

    all this kyron bashing has left no-one with a chance to respond to miiiguel!

    "jokes are geting lame, the games library/quality is tooooo unbalanced..., let's quit this. It's over."

    EXCELLENT! Fantastic! Awesome!

    I'll be holding you to that
  • Kryon #45 5 years ago

    dredd, ofcourse I own a PS3, what else is my dog supposed to take a steaming turd on?
