Alone in the Dark delay a "rumour"

via Eurogamer


Alone in the Dark has not been delayed until September, according to Atari.

A spokesperson for the publisher claimed Games for Windows magazine was spouting a rumour, so presumably everything is on track for PC and 360 versions to appear in March.

Atari recently launched the official site for the game, which has some viral marketing based around Central Park and the scary things that lurk within it.

Interestingly it appears to be based around real-life occurrences like the you-must-know-about-it insect invasion of 1888, where nine different families of spider were taken from a single tree and a meaty five pounds of caterpillars taken from another.

Less interestingly Atari added PS2 and Wii versions of its survival-horror game to its schedule last November. As with the PS3 offering, no dates have been mentioned.

Looking forward to this game. I just hope they don't turn it into a whorish horror/shooter game like re and bioshock. Horror/shooter games tend to be the mainstream genre now. I prefer the genres stand-alone.

They should release the PS2 and PS3 versions at the same time, if they want good sales from the PS3 version.
