Alone in the Dark delayed on PS3 because "it's not performing as well"

Phil Harrison refused to talk about the PS3 version of Alone in the Dark in London last week, but that didn't stop producer Nour Polloni explaining why the SKU was arriving well after the 360 game. In a nutshell, the frame-rate's borked.

"There's no firm date yet but what we can say is that it's coming out this year," Polloni told Videogamer.com. "In terms of why it's coming out later, we have the full game running on PS3 and all the features, no problem. The thing is it's not performing as well on PS3 as we hope it is in terms of frame-rate and all that. We didn't want it to come out and have less of an experience for the PS3 gamer. We wanted to tweak that up and make sure they get the best experience on PS3 as much as possible."

Polloni also said that both the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of Alone in the Dark will contain the same content, but added that PS3 owners won't be disappointed when they finally get the horror game.

"It will be really worth it," she said. "It's something that we didn't want to deceive the players. That's why we preferred waiting. And I know it's tough but we want them to wait to be able to get that same experience."
