After it was announced that Alone in the Dark for PS3 would offer improved features above and beyond its Xbox 360 counterpart, Eden, the developers of the game, have revealed that they will release a patch for the 360 version to bring it into line with the newer PS3 edition.

It seems that Eden have been receptive to the criticisms launched at the 360 version, as the fixes for the PS3 version cover improvements to the inventory system, camera system as well as improved controls for driving and walking. There aren’t any confirmations as to which of these improvements will make it into the 360 patch, though.

Alone in the Dark released earlier this year on the 360 to disappointing and average critical acclaim. Alone in the Dark for PS3 is set for a November release.

In case you missed this, a demo of Atari’s Alone in the Dark is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace.

The demo of this action survival features selected playable levels from the first and second episodes of the game.

Alone in the Dark is available now for the Xbox 360, PC, Wii and PS2. The PS3 version is scheduled to arrive later this year.

Atari and Eden Games have announced that action survival game Alone in the Dark has topped the Xbox 360 sales charts across Europe.

Since its release on the 20th of June, Alone in the Dark has secured the number one spot in the UK and Germany, which according to Chart Track and Media Control are two of the largest Xbox 360 markets in Europe. After a seven year hiatus the title debuted at number 3 on the UK’s All Formats Chart.

Alone in the Dark is now available across Europe for the Xbox 360, PC, Wii and PS2. The PS3 version is scheduled to ship later in the year.

Development on Atari’s action survival horror game Alone in the Dark is complete. The game is scheduled to ship on the 20th of June in Europe and the 24th of June in North America for the Xbox 360, Wii and PS2. The PS3 version of the game is expected to hit shelves in autumn 2008.

The Xbox 360 version was developed by Eden Games while Hydravision were in charge of the Wii and PS2 versions. The Wii version has been developed to make use of the Wii Remote in various game play situations from driving to real-time manipulation of objects. The game features on-character inventory, health recovery system and DVD-style chapter select menu.

Xbox 360 and Wii Limited Editions of the game, including a hero figurine, art book and making of documentary DVD, will also be available at launch from selected European retailers.

“With its genre-busting mix of gameplay, wide-screen presentation style and DVD chapter select feature putting the player in control, Alone in the Dark will thrill all gamers,” said Phil Harrison, President of Infogrames Entertainment.

“It’s a game which will challenge the player but also reward them with a one-of-a-kind video game experience and a huge amount of fun.”
