Eden Games is making some much needed control, camera and inventory changes to "Alone in the Dark" before it arrives on PlayStation 3.
These changes are in direct response to criticisms of the Xbox 360 version. At the Leipzig Games Convention, Eurogamer reported news of a patch so Xbox 360 owners could enjoy the same changes.
While checking out the tweaked "Alone in the Dark" in a San Francisco hotel yesterday, game designer Emile Morel couldn't explicitly promise such a patch was coming.
"We're trying to do it," said Morel. "It's technically complicated. The size of a patch is very limited by Microsoft. So if we do a patch it would only be about the new control and the new camera."
Morel says "only" because the PS3 version also includes a new subway chase sequence that would likely be too large to include in just a mere patch.
"We can't promise it because it is still early," he said. "We are finishing this [PS3] version first. I guess it also depends on the success of this version. If people review it again and said it's not worth it..." [laughs]
Would you reconsider playing "Alone in the Dark" on Xbox 360 if Eden Games delivered the promised tweaks?
