You have to consider that if they really thought their game was great, they wouldn't need to try and get rid of these bad reviews.
Seems to me they want the gaming press to shut the hell up until they can make their profit off of unsuspecting buyers at launch. Chill out Atari, let the game speak for itself!

Bluexy hit the nail on the head. As pretty as those trailers were, I think we're looking at a flawed gem at the very best.
The scores that have them near 70% (which, by the way, should mean it's above average, right?) are from pretty reputable sources. I'd trust those as much as any other review, but I won't necessarily blame illegal copies for a low score. Perhaps those reviewers just didn't like it?
most are 4 out of ten, so, no 70%.
they are trrying to prevent the game from tsnking in the US after bad reviews appear in europe.

Reviews are useless as often as not, I'm still interested in the game. Besides, any reviewers who are using illegal copies to scoop the competition are obviously just looking for page hits, which leads me to question the integrity of the review itself.
And in what bizzaro-world should 70% be a terrible sales-killing score? I buy games based on my taste first, and other people's numbers last.

well, there is a prestory. it seems that 4players trashed aitd from very early previews on. i think both sides wre a bit bitchy since then.
anyways i really dont like the way how 4players present themself in this dispute. they stylise themself as the only keeper of the freedom of speech with sentences like "hello? where do we live, in china ? or even iran ?".
fact is, they broke an embargo on online-coverage of the game, by 3 days (the embargo was then lifted for others sites). these embargos are there for a reason and are a common thing in journalism.

what a shame that this games seems to suck so bad. I was kinda looking forward to it.
I was hoping it would be at least as good as Condemned 2. I guess not?
I will rent it for sure.
cant be as bad as the incredible hulk game.

The game looks like shit. No surprise about the scores.
Too Human looks equally mediocre and will get the same scores. You heard it here first! woooo

I've read those articles (2 of them)
what I see is some really frustrated reviewers about the controlls some say it reminds one controlls from
resident evil 1,2 and 3 as opposed to 4
the 1/3'rd of the article is about bad controlls and glitches.
Since I like the controlls of re 1,2 an 3 :)
and I own reasonably good pc
those above won't mather as much...
I'll just wait for the patch..
and make some macro's on my logitech g15 :)
I think I'll buy it....
the only thing that I care about here
is that it can bring some tension building terryfying experience as you expect from an survival horror game..
I'm hoping for some Alone in the dark :)

Just read the reviews you'll see that the xbox36o controll of this game will make you give this game an low low score :P
hmmm good old pc...
read the reviews!

I think the game looks cool, especially the interactive environments. Even if the game sucks, its probably still gonna be fun setting stuff on fire. That never gets old!
I'm confused I thought it wasn't out yet. I don't see what we can get from really really early reviews either.
Is Alone In the Dark out earlier in Europe because I know in the U.S. it's not released for a couple more days.
This game is a true abomination of next-gen gaming. Setting stuff on fire does get old and the controls do indeed suck. It sounds like RE if you describe it, but it's really not. If you're gonna try it, please wait a little or rent it first.. It might control better on the PC though, but that doesn't fix a terrible camera (unless it's free in the PC one), TERRIBLE driving and most of all a lack of any suspense or fear.
4Players are idiots for publicly using a pirated copy on their site that has ads and everything. Atari are idiots for trying to contain it in this way, since people will only take a sharper look at reviews and game community feedback than they might have done before. I hear Atari even tried to cover it up by saying that the leaked copy was unfinished code, which is... unlikely.
The game does look cool in the vids and the ideas are nice. Too bad they weren't implemented and the game feels as finished as Halo 9. I can't believe that sites give this a 7 or even an 8.2 in german mags. They really do seem to use a 7-10 scale. More than anything, I really really want to see Rev Anthony's take on this game :)

Apparentartly Atari ran out of ideas in the middle of the game and ***SPOILERS***
They decided to give the main character psychic powers... ok... but in order to do this you have to >>>grind<<< killing evil trees in order to be able to use the powers. The review I read said this would take an hour or more of straight grinding. So, that kinda kills the game... (probably more flaws but that one seems to be the biggest one I've read)
