Eden Studios has released a detailed list of the improvements and changes being made to the PS3 version of Alone in the Dark. Everything from camera work to an exclusive sequence has been added, hopefully making Alone in the Dark a smoother, more enjoyable experience.

Here is the list of additions:

- Full 360 camera control: enhanced camera controls allows complete freedom of the camera and better handling of first person view camera movement for even more immersive gameplay

- Fine-tuned controls: quicker and smoother reactivity of the hero’s movements in third person view make for more rapid movements in nail-biting situations

- Inventory system more accessible: more logical jacket inventory system with the ability to combine objects using only the D-pad, and more fluid hero movement makes item selection a breeze.

- More tips: players will get all the help they need to get through every situation and get the most out of the game

- Spectral Vision tuning: a tutorial explains the need to burn roots in order to gain spectral vision and difficulty tuning means less spectral vision is required to reach the end of the game

- Improved car dynamics and handling: car handling has been tuned to make driving a car a walk in the park in every situation, including increased suspension and reduced drift

- 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 pace and variety of gameplay in the episode.

For those of you willing to give it a shot, Alone in the Dark is set to release November 18.

    @1: That's sad to hear for the 360 version.

    Read the article and it seems to be a promising PS3 version of Alone in the Dark.

    I've heard many bad things and seen bad reviews about this game, but if the developers care enough to try and rectify these issues for the ps3 version I might aswell and give it a shot.

     i played the demo on the 360. if the full game is anything like the demo, then these changes will not improve the game completely, only slightly. it is not a bad game, an average one. it is nothing to look up to.

    @2: It's true, they we're riping off 360 users just to make it fun for the PS3 users!

    I played the 360 version and was impressed. Some parts suck though thanks to the issues mentioned. I will try it if the graphics engine is well ported.

    THIS is what I'm talking about.  I seen X-Play's reviews on the game and thought WOW.  Everything they complained about seems to be fixed here.  If only all ports from the 360 are this exciting.

    I'm hoping Phil is behind these changes, seeing as how we're getting it later,

    360 one gets an update. They already said so.

     

    dj_superior: of course not : there even was news some time ago that they're still busy with Alan Wake though they were having some troubles.

    psn id: gingo... its good that they have listened to the criticism and tried to change the game for the better but some of the problems in the 360 reviews sounded unrectifiable so we'll just have to see

    no spank you

    I don' think this will be enough to save the game but I admire and respect the developers for trying. Dead Space has my money though.
