Alone in the Dark not delayed for PS3, actually

A lot of reports surfaced the other day about Alone in the Dark getting "indefinitely delayed" for the PS3, while the 360 and PC versions of the game were going to hit their mark. We figured, "nah, not this game too," and waited it out, since there was no rhyme or reason for the delay. As it happens, Atari finally issued a statement saying that no, in fact, the PS3 version of the game is not delayed and will get released alongside the 360 and PC versions of the game as initially planned.

Even so, the now noir-horror title never really had an exact release date except for a "before March 2008" tag slapped somewhere on it. A lot of sites want to believe it'll be out in January of 2008 and we'd like to see that, too. However, since game development has been taking a hell of a lot longer this cycle, we wouldn't be surprised if all the versions of the game waited until March of '08 to come out. Tweaking and optimizing are key this generation and we'd hate to see any version of the game suffer. We'll keep you posted as development continues on this long-standing franchise.

Now, why would there even be a post ever about the game being delayed? Where do these sorts of rumors come from?

@ Wonderflex, there was a post earlier that announced a delay. So that is why they correct it with this one.

Just goes to show that alot of crap is posted by reputable sources. Which begss the question what a reputable source is these days.

I remember playing Alone in the Dark on a 286 PC with one of the very first sound cards, it was creepy the first time I hard foot steps. I about wet myself when that thing jumped though the window.

Well, until the comment by DownwardMonkey, I was like Alone in the Dark, wtf, who cares. I know nothing about this game's past. I remember some excitement, then not hearing anything. Now my concern is that it's made by Atari. I just... can they get this right? Right now, with what I know about Atari, I'm a little nervous. My friend has a roommate who works for Atari... hmmm... I think I'll ask him how it's coming along!
