Alone in the Dark spooks Wii, PS2

By Tom Magrino, GameSpotPosted Nov 13, 2007 10:45 am PT

Nintendo's new-gen hardware and Sony's legacy console join Xbox 360, PS3, and PC versions of Atari's survival horror action game.

Last week, Atari candidly stated in its tardy first-quarter filing for fiscal year 2008 that it may not be able to dig itself out of its current financial hole. However, with its future projects shrouded in uncertainty, the beleaguered publisher has apparently not thrown in the towel just yet.

Today, Atari announced its upcoming survival horror action game Alone in the Dark will appear on the Wii and PlayStation 2 in addition to already announced versions for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. Whereas Eden is handling development duties for the previously announced platforms, Atari has tapped Obscure II studio Hydravision for the Wii and PS2 versions of the game.

Alone in the Dark on the Wii and PS2 will follow the same plot of the current-gen versions, where gamers will attempt to make it through the night as infernal forces are loosed in New York City's Central Park. While the two latest versions will contain most of the gameplay and features detailed in GameSpot's previous coverage of the game, the Wii version will take advantage of remote and Nunchuk controls to interact with the environment.

Alone in the Dark is currently slated to creep onto retail shelves in February 2008 for the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. Atari did not indicate whether the Wii and PS2 versions would launch in tandem with the others. It has not yet been rated.

    i think anybody who plays something on xbox360 or PS3 starts to underappreciate a last-gen console like the PS2...i mean looking at GTA:SA the graphics werent all that spectaculer but many people love it...its stupid for anyone to judge a game by graphics....unless Frame Rate iz slow.

    this is the only problem with nintendo deciding to make the wii weaker than other consoles, we just keep getting crappy ps2 ports

    "the Wii version will take advantage of remote and Nunchuk controls"

    You know, these things aren't exactly helping the Wii come across as a next-gen console

    Lol...yet again negative feedback...i mean why? god people here are sad, all i said was this was old news, which it is...and what you cant handle that? because giving me negatives proves my point of how insecure you (people giving negatives) really are.
