One of this year's most innovative videogames will get a blazing
rework for its PLAYSTATION3 computer entertainment system debut this
November as ATARI ignites
 Alone
in the Dark: Inferno. Development studio Eden Games has
responded to the feedback of media and gamers and has turned up the
heat to deliver an even more entertaining, immersive and
action-packed blockbuster experience for PLAYSTATION3. The hosts of
sizzling gameplay enhancements, red-hot content and the hellish
storyline have inspired the name Alone in the Dark: Inferno
for the ultimate
Alone in the Dark experience on PLAYSTATION3
system.
Alone in the Dark: Inferno stays true to the storyline of the
previous versions in which gamers take on the role of paranormal
investigator Edward Carnby and over the course of one apocalyptic
night must fight to survive and uncover the earth-shattering secret
behind New York's Central Park. However, the new edition will fully
complement the intense storytelling and unprecedented environmental
interactions with an array of improved gameplay elements that will
give gamers the ultimate Alone in the Dark experience.
Gameplay elements including Camera, Inventory System, and the
Control System have all been reworked for maximum immersion. In
addition, Alone in the Dark: Inferno will include an all-new
action sequence revealing a previously unseen enemy of epic
proportions.
The game promises to raise the temperature with improvements
including:
- Full 360 degree Camera control: enhanced Camera controls
allows complete freedom of the camera and better handling of
third-person movement for even more immersive gameplay enabling
players to view the fire and mass destruction they are causing in
all of its glory.
- Fine-tuned controls: quicker and smoother reactivity of the
hero's movements in third person view increases the pace of the game
and makes for faster, reflexive gameplay during tense fighting
scenarios.
- Inventory System more accessible: more logical jacket
Inventory System with the ability to scroll rapidly through the
inventory with the D-Pad or Analogue Stick to combine objects. In
addition, gameplay is paused when accessing the inventory system to
allow maximum creativity in combining items to create unique
flammable weapons.
- More tips: additional on-screen tips will help players
quickly adapt to controls and easily understand how to overcome
tricky situations.
- Spectral Vision tuning: a Tutorial earlier in the storyline
explains the need to burn roots in order to gain spectral vision (a
power that grants you the
ability to see the unseen) and difficulty tuning means less spectral
vision is required to reach the end of the game.
- Improved car dynamics and handling: driving has been tuned
with increased suspension and reduced drifting giving overall better
handling to make driving a fun walk in the park every time.
- 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 excitement and
variety of gameplay in the episode.
A demo is planned for early November that will be available through
the PLAYSTATION Network to give fans an early preview of the intense
action and deeply immersive story line.
Whether or not these additions will make their way across to the
original Xbox360 release is reportedly due to be decided based upon
the success of the PLAYSTATION3 release; a situation which many
Electronic Theatre Forum members have been fairly vocal about. |
