Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
That's standard. Teams are together for a Project, after its done some..and sometimes most devs are fired until the next Project is in the works and people are needed again. Only the core members stay in the time between the hot phase of the game development.
What’s annoying is people don’t understand how contractors work, either. All of this is uninformed knee-jerk reactions without any understanding of how employment works in this industry. There are key developers and staff that stay with a studio/publisher, but often times it’s a hire per project and then seeking new employment for a project. That’s how it’s always been…
That's a fair point too. I would say that in light of its tepid critical/commercial response and ongoing mass layoffs across the industry I think it's understandable for fans to worry about the longer-term implications. We'll see how it plays out in the future.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "In one sense, it feels strange to even think Pieces Interactive had big shoes to fill with this series' legacy. Given what's come before, did it really? And yet, even when considering the last two flops over a two-decade span, there's still something about Alone in the Dark emblazoned on a title screen that carries a sense of revered history. In that respect, perhaps this reboot's best accomplishment is in honoring that spirit through its inventive world. It's also fair to emphasize knocks against its survival-horror design, some puzzle-solving, and so on; it certainly won't be considered a trendsetter like the 1992 classic. Still, the amount of goodwill wedded to its brighter qualities makes for something that dawdles the line between unfortunately-flawed and impressively-enticing."
The new Alone in the Dark remake doesn't do anything especially noteworthy, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just... cromulent.
No confirmation, no links, no official ATARI source!!
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU!!! STOP POSTING RUBBISH!!
TO THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THIS SITE STOP POSTING THIS NONSENSE!!
how is this rubbush i for one wanted to know when this games gonna come it i read an interview on it and it seemed very promising
I'm not sure where you get rubbish. Oh and the caps lock is about 3 millimeters from a so I think it's easy enough to turn it off. It's is a Monday though so maybe you just woke up on the wrong side of the bed today
That website seems to be a haven for people with no brains. Anyone can make up nonsense, where is the official statement by ATARI?
For ones, check other gaming websites and you'll see the same list that's posted here. And the so called 'German' ( which is not, every dumbass dic khead knowns NL is for Netherlands you retards ) site has the news from their source Gamefront.de which is a very large German gaming website.
