Infograms President Phil Harrison has said that his company has every reason to be “proud” of upcoming Survival Horror title Alone in the Dark following the game’s positive reception on the Internet to date.
Speaking with Gamesindustry.biz, Harrison, former head of Sony Computer Entertainment Worldwide Studios, commented, "I think we have everything to be proud of about this title. In fact, it was on the Eurogamer forum that I was reading so much fan commentary.”
"There were pages and pages of very passionate and loyal support from the fans, and as I well know the site is pretty opinionated – and there’s nothing wrong with that…well, unless you’re on the receiving end which I have been on a few occasions…"
Harrison also revealed how he had planned to work with fellow Infograms/Atari stable mate David Gardner previously, adding, "I tell you, that was the hardest thing when I was trying to brainstorm this, when I was trying to come up with a brand that we could use worldwide – every time I came up with a new name for a games company, I’d Google it and find that somebody had already taken it.”
"So when we were looking at what we’d need to create a successful company, and then we evaluated what Infogrames has, it ticked all the boxes."
Alone in the Dark is due out in June on PlayStation 2, PC, Xbox 360 and Wii, with a PlayStation 3 version following later in the year.
