Atari Sets PLAYSTATION(R)3 Ablaze This November With Alone in the Dark: Inferno
Friday, October 10, 2008
- Atari Responds to Media and Consumer Feedback with Red Hot Gameplay Enhancements and Scorching New Action Sequence for PLAYSTATION(R)3 Computer Entertainment System -
NEW YORK, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- One of this year's most
innovative video games will get a blazing rework for its PLAYSTATION(R)3
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
PLAYSTATION 3 system. 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 PLAYSTATION 3 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 hero control
have all been reworked for maximum immersion and fun. 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
analog 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(R) Network to give fans an early preview of the intense action and
deeply immersive story line. For more information on Alone in the Dark:
