Alone in the Dark on PS3 by Autumn, possibly with episodic content

On the bright side of things, there is an incentive for PS3 gamers looking to get lonely in the dark several months behind their console cousins. The PS3 version won't be a simple cut-n-paste port, but will be a specially adapted game with the possibility of episodic content. Worth it? That remains to be seen. Let's stay positive and hope so.

You'd think with Phil Harrison now on board, they'd be doing a hell of a lot more to cater to the PS3 crew than vague hints at "episodic content." Isn't this the game that is going to make or break Atari? Apparently they meant "on the 360..."

Come on Philly, make us proud!

I love this buzzword "episodic" that Atari is throwing around for this game when what they really mean is "in separate levels, since an open world takes too much effort."

"but will be a specially adapted game with the possibility of episodic content"
What exactly is specially adapted? Sounds like porting to me. It isn't "adapted" to allow episodes, as the 360 already has that capability as well. So specially adapt it means motion control too maybe? Or maybe thats the new term for having two different teams working on a game, so it isn't hit with the porting stigma.

In June what will most PS3 users be playing? The answer is MGS4, all other games will not matter in June. They made a good decision.

If I was Harrison, I'd get Atari to crank out a ton of little games for XBL and the PSN, PixelJunk style. They need to fatten up their bottom line before they commit to huge games that eat money and dev time.

they need to figure out a really good quirky and unique 2d sidescroller game, like bionic commader rearmed..... these are the games that can be cheap and quick dev wise but also be englufing whole experinces that entertain like games should !!!!!
