It took like, what, 10 years for the microwave to catch on? So be prepared to see this game become huge in 2018!
This news sucks for those 360 early adopters.....

Well fuck them! People bought a buggy game and they won't fix it? That's fantastic! Sounds like Sierra and Tribes Vengeance all over again.
So if the PS3 turd doesn't sell, they won't release a patch to make the 360 turd more playable?
Classy.
Classy.
Wait...so they're holding a patch hostage and their demands are that people buy the PS3 version? That's some seriously fucked up business practices.
Wait a second, they develop and release a horrible game and then have the gall to, "…[laughs]" The only thing that is funny about this is the waste of money it was to create. You would think they would do everything in their power to try and fix it.
This totally reeks of ass.
I think that it's great that PS3 owners will get a version of this game that doesn't suck balls, or at least not go at them as ravenously as the original 360 version did, but on the other hand, why the shit should people who've already payed for this steaming pile on the 360 not be treated to a version of the game that might actually justify the sixty bucks that they spent on it? Furthermore, why the fuck should the promise of a patch hinge on whether or not the PS3 version sells?
I get that they don't want to waste the time on it if it's all for nothing, but at the same time, I think that they should have done things right the first time around. They released a broken-ass game, and so they may as well suck it up and throw a bone to the unfortunate souls who bought it. A patch to bring it up to speed with the PS3 version couldn't possibly make the game suck any more than it already does, could it?
Fucking idiots.

"It’s too bad that console players are being forced into this PC mentality where admittedly broken games are released with the promise of patches."
Isn't that looking at it like the glass is half empty? I've always saw it this way: bad, buggy PC games that were released (whether or not they should have been) weren't destined to always be so - while in the past a crappy console game stayed exactly that crappy forever.
Just one tidbit that I picked out of this - since I really don't care about Alone in the Dark on any platform.

Had my first customer ask when this was coming out on the PS3 today - just shows what the general consensus says about it really. Most retailers had the 360 and WII versions on Sale within a fortnight of launch.
What a horrible cunt. Fix your game for the people who already bought it you nasty piece of shit.
I'll bet it's people like him that are the first in line to pick up their copy of the "Blame Piracy" handbook. Developers who release games with glaring flaws and refuse to fix them unless it's going to help sell a new version can burn in hell. It should be their responsibility to sort their mess out, not some kind of favour.
Oh well, maybe he'll take comfort in knowing they've developed the best DRM known to man - it really says something for a game when I don't even feel like wasting the bandwidth to download it and see its turgid failure for myself.

"If people review it again and said it’s not worth it…[laughs]".
That's the mentality that continues to bury Atari six feet under!

That is come crap. I was hoping to possibly go back to this once the patch came out (which is something I never expected in the first place), I guess I should know better.
Unprofessional, and completely unacceptable. Do it right the first time, or at least go back and try to fix your mistakes.
Imagine if corporate shareholders made automobile manufacturers release cars onto the road before they were done and properly tested. Fact is to the guys writing the checks they don't care what goes out the door as long as they make their quick buck. Then they get kicked in the nuts when their project doesn't sell cause it's unfinished crap. Greed sucks eh?
Yeah, plus cars unfinished games won't crash and kill other people as well as the operator. Thought this is the thing I feared most about the internet making it onto the game consoles in such a big way. Though PC games typically aren't as broken as a lot of consoles games seem to be.
